The Bling Effect

[matchgirl 0]

Hi Matchgirl,

If your walls are pretty okay, then no need to plaster! you mean you got ask uncle to plaster?

For me, several walls were hacked and rebuilt, and my flat was last plastered like 30 years ago, so i could not save on that and plastered the whole house!

PLastering for the whole house can be done in less than 2 days. It all depends on HOW MANY people are assigned to your place!

My plasterer assigned 5, so it took 2 days!

I dun think he did water proofing for my kitchen!!! But doesnt matter cos i intend to keep my kitchen dry at all times!

As for whether he did for you, you need to ask the tiler! now that the tiles are up, cant see liao!!!!

If your walls are plastered, they will be VERY smooth and straight. If not, there will be some little old bumps. Why dun you take a pic and post online??!

If waterproofing is done, u should receive a waterproofing report from your contractor/ID which is acknowledged/signed by your neighbours living below u that there is no water leaking.

Dear Readers,

There has been not much progress on my renovation and I am really pretty pissed off.

It is D-Day tml and after that, seriously, uncle will have to face my wrath. Trust me, it is NOT pretty.

As I await the inevitable, which I will explain to all, in due time.

I hope to post pics next week (on a lighter note)

cement is porous and water can go through. cement, no matter how thick, is not waterproofing. please don't be conned

i tink they did do the waterproofing ba. if not it will not be approved by hdb de ba.. hahha.. but usually i will not splash whole bucket of water all over my kitchen. cos im too lazy to clean. LOL..

i dunno if they did ask the lower level neighbour to sign anything lei. but i doubt my neighbour noes i did my flooring ba. cos we didn hack all the way to their ceilings rite? LOL.. n my contractor didn pass me anything abt waterproofing.. hehe..

i also not at site when they are doing the water-proofing thingy!And i ask yeak about it and he said he usually do at least 2 times,sometimes 3 time to be double sure that it works.He don want any problem after handover...which is unfair to us.

At least i got a gurantee from him.

good to hear that....at least know that I'm safe too...
