Hana79 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 alamak...like that kenna cheated by the wiring contractor already lor...We asked whether can tom-balek the switches so that it is neater but he say cannot.... Hi Howlupjac, I found I always gotta check switches 2-3x to ensure they're off cos supposed 2b in "ON" position (ie opp to living rm "OFF" position) jus b4 I leave hse, v troublesome! My electrician say cannot change cos 2-way switches operate lyk tat. When another electrician came to replace switches to dimmer, I complain da same (I know he's better than other guy cos both fixed lights for me b4, i jus repeat lyk "auntie" lor). He oso say cannot but frown a little then did it correctly for me ie. Both entrance & living switches are same now ie. OFF positions when I switch off b4 leavin hse, hehe Maybe their standard reply/lazy to swap cables. Try longwinded "auntie" tactic, who knows... Wah i see a lot of korean show fans...

h4happy 1 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 Hi TENSION...I strongly agreed with you. I remembered the air-con guys came and suggested how to run the truncking...I just say ok as I know nuts...luckily I told them to hold on as I need to confirm with my contractor...my contractor came and my contractor told them how to run the truncking....if I made my decision, my toilet mirror and holding glass will not be able to install if the air con water pipe runs in the toilet wall. Good thing my contractor told them about it. HAPPY http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?sh...c=14116&hl= share with you this link, every aircon company has their own horrible story. we are no experts in aircon, I guess with an ID around, the tendency of dishonest installer is minimal, cos' at the end of the day, the ID have to solve the problem if installer didnt do it well, guess this is the premium that we pay ID for his work.

My ID loaned me a key lock. And I bought a number lock on my own. So, I have 2 locks in total. The number code is changed periodically, esp after every milestone eg, after screeding etc. Actually, I am still using the number lock, despite having installed the Castle lock. heh.

shercjw 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 Sorry to hear about your bad experience, sherjcw. I hope it can be resolved soon. Reno is indeed a heng-sway thing. Bad products / aftersales service can happen to anyone. Even if they are purchased from highly-recommended shops with supposed good reputation. However, for Aircons & Electrical wiring & Lights, I somewhat agree with tension_z. If you are a sotong-ball (like me), you may wish to opt to pay a little premium (definition of "little" may vary with different individuals) to get them through your ID as this will offer you some recourse if things go wrong. For myself, the Aircon & Lights were cheaper through my ID's recommendation. But the electrical wiring is expensive. the aircon is sourced by myself after doing a bit of research in forums..... super angry and piss off with them! I do understand that electronics stuff is depend on Heng - Suay one.... but now the prob is not the aircon itself.... its the way the technician do his work. the technician who came on Mon said that he will come on tues to install the pipes for us and we waited till 9pm and still he NV turn up. then we called and ask him and guess wad?!?!? he said that he didnt say he is coming. he said that he will get B#st T#ch ppl to call me to re-arrange for appt. and till today they NV call me at all. VERY ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doorbell so far my level are all intact.

My ID provide me with 2 x number locks and change the numbers often. Usually the contractors will chain the gate together with the door handle so to prevent pple from pushing open the door and peep at what are items inside the unit.

groovygenie 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 2 number locks? Wow! Yesterday made noise to ID already, said will give his own number lock and chain. I just don't trust my own chain and lock right now, i think very easy to break open. By the way, guys, if something is never agreed on and we never wanted it, like a piece of false ceilng, and then ID's workers went and did it 'accidentally', we shouldn't be charged for it right? Even if we keep it? What do you think? Should keep quiet or point it out ah? Hi Hana, Actually i'm at mid flooring of 79D, was caught out of surprise that shoes they also want.

For my case, during the time of quotation, i actually remove that cost of flooring inside the bomb shelter seeing that the bomb shelter is already cemented by HDB plus wants to save some $$.. When the workers are laying the tiles for my living room they also lay the same tiles in the bomb shelter.. Agreed with the ID that I don't have pay a single cents on this.. hehehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
