annjoy 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2010 No not yet... This Thursday then move in I quite upset... My living room ceiling we did cove lighting... and when I on the cove lighting, I realise the ceiling is superrrrrrrrrr horrid looking... Needs plastering... Asked Johnny how much it'll cost and he said $500. What should I do? What can I do? $500 seems a bit pricey... a lot of the other walls need plastering too... and it looked fine before until I had wall paint on it. Sianz. Spend so much money buying a lot of misc stuff for the house man! Brackets for the light, mirror for the common room toilet, water stoppers for the sinks.. MAN! LOL Btw, is it CRAZY to spend $750 on a house worth of switches? How much is those normal switch selling? Those very oridinary 1 gang kind...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Btw anybody have any good contact for plastering ceiling?? Ann, for heater, typically the switch is like a 1 gang switch with light. mine cost less than $5 each. i got 4 of that for oven, 2 heaters and hob/hood, for aircon, there is an isolator, but its provided by my contractor. that one normally rectangular in shape n sits outside your home. i got my clipsal switches at Choo Chiang in Toh Guan. went there on a sunday morning....not many pple....easier to talk wif the staff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

annjoy 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2010 I do want to say that my electrician is a friend and he has done many houses before. He said, without me telling him about how "good" the tiler is supposedto be, that the tiling workmanship is one of the best he has seen in 4 to 5 yrs. It's done by 2 malaysian men. Well, kudos to Johnny for having this contact! The plumber is his so called personal friend but his workmanship seems a bit.... odd. Will question him why he put a T-joint pipe when he could have run the pipe in one line. Tmr, the painters will come to touch up. In my humble opinion, I think the painter workmanship sucks. I have a feature wall in different colour in every room. And where each wall meets each other, the paint is not even straight! Haiz. I hope this will be rectified tmr and rectified well. I am also very concerned about the holes that the air con men made. They drilled some holes too big and left it there just like that. Who is supposed to patch up the hole now? Johnny? Would he? The air con men, while they did try to take precaution, but the laminate flooring seems to have scratches now cos of them. The laminate guy did not put any protective layer on the floor as well so who's at fault this way? Who is responsibile? The bloody patchy ceiling that the cove lights is shinning onto is giving me a heartache. Really dunno what to do with that one. Anyway, check out the dumping ground of the indian neighbours above me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
