shespawn 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 hi im kinda inactive to posting. but after reading trevor and yours, i must say you are really unlucky to have these suai incidents happen to you. paint problem, granite problem and electrical wiring problems. i guess it's all due to just one person giving you all the headache. thanks for posting all ur experiences so that i know what to watch out in engaging my contractor next time. Now when i looked back, my reno contractor in 2002 was really good (lourve design). I have always thought he did not do a good job in liaising with the workers, but he did my house in 1.5mths. I didn't even know painters can cheat with the paint. I didn't bother to even ask for the paint cans but they gave it to me. take care and looking forward to your picture posting soon!

Ayeaye 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2010 hi pink! really sorry about it... cus me n trev n fini were together and we talk about how they got recommended..imagine we were so desperate that we often meet up at night just to talk about how to 'deal' with uncle... that was really tough period for us..physically and mentally very tired! actually we don't mean u are avoiding calls... we also know that if u give out uncle number to many people, how to keep track right...cus forumers ask if we did try to contact u for help.. so trev was saying he does hv ur number... but seriously we are not blaming anyone.. besides, wat uncle does , no one cannot predict.... i guess at that point of time, even if we did managed to contact u, things will still be the same.. cus uncle is BROKE n it's a fact... i do have a direct tiler contact, if u need it for your recess, let me know! Hi , I am new here. What's the differ if we get direct tiler? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
