Thanks.. we'll consider "upgrading" to curtains when the blinds breakdown in future. Coz our pl no kana sunlight, we only can depend on strong winds to dry our clothes.. e.g no hard to dry stuff..

fencer 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2010 Good news.. my window frame + grill had just been changed to new ones (Yest).. Spend 1 nite to clean up the whole place coz was dusty from the "rectification". What's new?? 1) Window frame had been adjusted to "tilt" outwards a bit (rather then in "of coz"). 2) Window grill is still mounted to the frame.. And had not puncture at the track area (mounted below the track area).. The guys had said is not suppose to be puntured or else wld leak water, e.g previous guy high likely had a mistake and use rivet instead coz accidently drilled through. And yes.. clearly he knows it would leak if punctured.. and window frame suppose to "let water out outwards".. same as the guy who came to take measurement. Other things that would be rectified/touched up (BEFORE payment) ,since tilder is coming anyway, is the "hollow" step at entrance, cracked paints at door frames, window frame(replaced) area paint touch up, filling in missing grouting ****/dining area and both toilet. Most important is the "hollow" homogenous tile **** room and he'll let me know how to solve it. Initially he said bo bian, cannot do anything.. i told him to find a way coz i dun wan "hollowness" in the living room. Most is cut out tile (wic is highly unlikely), then i need to ask my friends to come and help me move furniture into the rooms.. Had initially asked Henry to come and oversee the replacement (as in the email).. guess what.. he came in just after it was finished.. end up, i was the 1 supervising.. of coz he may have been bz with work.. but... Henry would come fix on thur evening time. so til then.. btw, i had accept a very very small sum (compared to the whole sum of reno of coz) for the 2nd and 3rd cracked tile. What i agreed to overlook, i will overlook.. Hope all be rectified by Thur.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep reminding the guy to tilt the window out and stand there to look at what they are doing.. Ha.. they shld be thinking why this guy is watching them work all the 1 hr+..

fencer 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2010 Hooray! Yest, aka 15 July 2010, was the final HO. Painting touchup was done and another 2 tilers came up settle the tiles. Cracked tile on steps outside house canot do coz dun hv spare tiles. This sat would settle. The "hollow" tile in the living room was fixed by mixing something with cement and let the edge "suck in", after using penknife to remove some of the grouting.. + ask them to help fill in those missing grouting since they're here.. All amount paid up, minus a small amount kept for the 2nd and 3rd crack tile. Time to look for my dining table and set up my HTPC, subscribe broadband from singtel and scv from starhub..
