jaskel 2 Report post Posted May 31, 2010 i got a deadline to follow and I do not want to affect your reno work just becos I take in another urgent job. Basically, for I'm not taking in anymore project until the 1 of the project finished. My policies or pride are there, not more than 4 projects per mth. Must be responsilbe to owners. Even if the owner is rich or what, if they use the "nose" to look at me, I'll not do either cos I don't need their money to survice at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fencer 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2010 Water repellent for the kitchen walls had already done, will test it when dry....now raining heavily here. Water repellent on walls? The cement wall portion? Today tiler came and will rectify the priblems in the living room. Also will be hacking away the skirting as I'm not satify with it. Don't worry about any extra cost for the tiles as I will paid for the workers mistakes. As for the grouting will be redoing for it. As for the windows, already found out what the problems, will solve it when the installer came, it was the locking hook issues. As everyone can see, even I'm not prefect, reno will sure have some hipcups here and there. We contractors just have to try our best to attend to the owners request. Jaskel.. paiseh huh.. ask you something.. Just discover grouting missing from more places on the floor tiles then i tot leh.. any impact if not "replaced"? refill easy to come out also since won't hold that well right? Suppose more and more would come off over time? paiseh jeffcraze.. Ha.. highjack jaskel for a moment.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, me and hubby knows that u are very responsible, thus, we have to play catch up with u as we are both a bit "slow".. We are both very glad we found someone like u, coz we dun have to worry so much.. Think it may be likely we will use the air-con guy u recommended, not confirmed yet, thou.. muz wait for hubby to say, coz I dunno all these stuffs.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suppose more and more would come off over time? paiseh jeffcraze.. Ha.. highjack jaskel for a moment.. Yes water repeller for the cement plastering walls. No impact if for living room and bedrooms. Refilling is not te same as redoing. Redoing is not easy if to done a big area. Need to take out the old grouting before redoing a new one. Refilling for certain small portion is ok. Over the time, more and more will come out due to certain reasons. Wear and tear, our cleaning habits, acid or chemical, etc...some like to use old toothbrush to scrub the grouting due to dirt, tis will slowly scrub up the grouting too.

jaskel 2 Report post Posted May 31, 2010 Today not much updates, as discussing on the false ceiling and the electrical points with my sub-cons. Cement plastered wall with water repellent coating. Look the same as any other cement plastered wall. Splashed water on it, look the water didn't absorb by the cement as we all know that cement absorb water very quickly. That's the diff. on applying with or without water repellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaskel 2 Report post Posted May 31, 2010 Better keep a few hands so that I'm different with other contractors or ID. Wet works had come to an end....hope from this blog, other house owners will learned a lot from it. Have to thanks the owners for willingly to let me share the reno process with u all. If not, most of us will see only the end products and of course there are better or higher grade of material but so is the cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
