J&G i really can understand how pissed you were. Am not trying to add fuel to fire but bangalas have no common sense. They simply follow instructions and do even if it's wrong. The supervisor gonna play a part and i think you should not ask them to waive the $80! just tell them it's not even enough to cover your salary for the day!

this is called a level peg. the tiler will use this to gauge the screed level so that he will not 'overscreed' the floor.

hi JandG

for levelling of the floor, for screeding purpose?

Chpt 6 : Wood within the wood


the prettiest part for the home for me, is probably the solid wood flooring. it really gives the luxe feel due to its thick heavy texture that i absolutely adore. these are thick strips of solid white oak timber. not parquet strips. wood actually looks and feels better and better when seasoned. :)

my ID didnt coordinate this as the contractor is a friend. unfortunately, they no longer do local sales. only direct imports to USA and Europe now. This is their corporate site below

the headache part here was arranging the screeding. if u recall, town council is the one arranging the screeding. we made an appt with them the very day we took keys. and they stood us up for 3 times! this was a major part of the delay in my home as no flooring means no carpentry, no painting, no ceiling works. by the 3rd time hubby was so mad that the town council lady came personally to our doorstep to apologise. 1st time what screeder forgot, 2nd time screeder sick, 3rd time dunno what. gahmen sweet gahmen :bangwall:

this is how the wood (water resist plywood base used to build ships hulls + solid timber) sits on the screed markers

Chpt 7a : Kitchen Appliances


One of the first things we got for our home was the stuff frm Ariston we got sometime Mar 09. I love to bake, so a gd oven would be absolutely essential to the home.
