KSJL 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2010 Grace: After aircon is run, you will have to choose the paint colour and I believe Edmund will paint your house next....he will suggest the colour to you but you have the right to pick yours...remember to get his workers to paint the service yard too. Initially he is reluctant to do it but I said service yard is under our house so he has to paint since we paid for the painting...hehehhe.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluewater 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) KSJL: Now that you mention aircon ledge, I have to disagree with you that this area is indeed under HDB, as what Edmund informed you. When U text me as service yard the last time when you were complaining, I felt so puzzled as Edmund is not that kind of contractor who will push such responsibility. Even all my window ledges for my unit are unpainted. Anyway, credits to Edmund that he has already done it up for you lah. BTW, the light grey colored rug sold at Ikea quite expensive though looks nice.... That's why in the end, we went to LUSH to get ours (also light grey) and yet cheaper than what Ikea retailed for. Grace: Don't worry too much on the carpentry. Rest assured... no rush = quality confirmed. Only thing you gotta worry about will be the layout of the finalised design which you've discussed with Edmund. As for payment, Edmund will inform you when you need to, as per the stated schedule in the signed contract. That way, both parties will be assured. Vice versa, contractors also scared their clients defaulting on their payment, not just us alone fearing our contractors running away... Edmund's style is that he will be there on the first day to oversee and lay his instruction for each area of works. E.g. 1st day of painting/carpentry/installation of kitchen work top/ etc... Rest of the days, he will go down at adhoc basis. This is what I know about him as I went to my house almost every day during reno. One more thing if you are one who likes to procrastinate/indecisive over your house wall colors, ask for Edmund's opinion to start off with your consideration. I did that for mine and it turns out really well to match my carpentry & furniture colors. Edited March 23, 2010 by bluewater Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bro, I have checked on our HDB booklet and it is indeed aircon ledge is not under HDB but the owner area. Maybe I will scan the article and post it here but does it necessary in the first place? hhahahahha.....I believe new unit these days sold by HDB their aircon ledge is under the owner area compared to those old house. Anyway, I have read on another forum and they also mentioned that it is under owner area. Yes, it cost more than $350 - $500 if I recall well so we are still looking around...how much did you buy from LUSH? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
