Tomorrow I meet jesslyn, I will bring EDL laminate and the price for each laminate let u see, then u can judge by yourself is it expensive not. And btw, all are using Solid plywood. Am very very very certain on carpentry done in JB or malaysia is much cheaper than those carpenter factories in singapore. eg. $100pfr and RM100pfr doing the same thing.

All other wet work, electrical work must quickly settle before moving in as they can be rather messy but for carpentry work...can be done even if you already move in... hope you seriously consider and I sincerely do not wish to see you and the rest of the sooner got into depression...
