mhurizan 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2010 Hi everyone.. adah's hubby here... some updates: we have so-called "moved in" to our new place (alternate between new hse and old place). the place is still lacking some items (sofa / main living room light / dryer / dining table).. will slowly buy one by one... sofa just arrived today and looking forward to see how it fit in with our theme / concept... will post pictures soon.. stay tuned =) Review of the whole Renovation Process ========================= - Relatively smooth-ride with no major hiccups.. - Although ID is young and inexperience, he made up for it by being responsive, accommodating and attending to all our request.. - Workmanship-wise: > Tiling (Ideal Hse) - Very good.. meticulous and fast... > Electrical (Our own contractor - Contractor friend of wifey) - Slow and blur at times... Need to repeat instructions to them several times (tried talking slowly, talking nicely, hand-gestures, draw pictures, lastly scolding them) but still can cock-up.. basically, everything was done and re-done.. maybe they want to collect OT.. during the day, do wrongly.. work OT & fix during the night... get quite tiring but at least, it got done as what we wanted... Niway, considering this work is "sponsored" for us, cannot say much cos we din fork up any cash > Ceiling Work / Plastering (Ideal Hse) - Good work.. Even help to redo the false ceiling "destroyed" by the electrician.. But they go and plaster the aircon access panel. ID getting them to fix this (lucky raining days for these past few days so we made do without aircon) > Plumping (Our own contractor) - Another "sponsored" item.. Made 1-2 mistakes but rectified accordingly... > Painting (Ideal Hse) - Complained to us about the poor skills and workmanship of the electrician. Keep telling us if we engaged their electrician, won't be this slow and have this & that problems. Of course it would be better if we engaged their electrician... But it won't be free... Idiots... Every time I went down to see the progress and the painters are there, I see them wiping the walls with cloth before they paint.. Dunno whether they "wayang" cos I was there or really that dedicated & passionate about their work... Regardless, looking at the paint job, quite good though > Carpentry (Ideal Hse) - Overall, quite good.. See the pictures we post later... close to 3D and we are happy cos what we see is what we get.. Reading through this site, you may discover varying opinions from other forumers on the workmanship of the carpenters of this ID company.. After reading some negative comments, we double-checked the workmanship again... wifey discover some faults but actually, it is up to individual interpretation.. For example, wifey says: "This left mirror on the feature wall is not straight"... Me: "Ya, we get them to touch up.. I'll bring a protactor to measure that the angle is EXACTLY 90degree perpendicular to the floor after they touch up.. At the moment, looks like 90.5 or 91 degree..." wifey: "...." OK lah, this is one of the last few posts here as our reno work is done.. Thanks everyone for sharing your experience & opinions.. Wait for the pixs aite.. Ciao for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
