infinitie 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 hi infinite. how's the progress? going well? Hi gal, been busy these days so didnt go up to see. Understand it was still at tiling work, shall post some picts later. We had choosen the paint/window grilles and wrough iron designs yesterday. Informed ID that air con trunking will be up on 15th Jul (Thurs) but was wondering if 1st coat of paint will be up by then or not, must check with ID again on this otherwise the joint line b/w aircon & wall is visible. Checked with hb if possible to postpone the date to fix air con trunking, he said it could be after 25th which is kinda late.... but I do not want to rush to fix aircon without 1st coat... too sloppy and can imagine how ugly it will be lor. Haiz... ID mentioned that he need to go reservist on the 2nd week of Aug for 3 weeks so if we postpone air con it might affect the whole progress. Tentatively, the HD will be somewhere in 1st week of Aug.... siao liao!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

infinitie 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) =updates= 19th Jul 2010 We had received our sanitary wares last sat from GR link. The delivery guy was good. He will text me time of arrival (abit late due to rain which causes minor traffic jam) and even note down every little problems on the DO after verification most of the items. He said to be fair to us, he will even note down those things which are not check (vanity cabinet-too bulky and not easy to put it back). We had received our delivery from 'A lighting' today. Supposed to deliver at 9.30 but somehow the delivery guy came at 11am. Luckily the plumber was there early althought our ID mentioned 10.30, otherwise we got to 'gong gong' wait there. We had our 1st stage of discussion with the plumber and electrician, together with our ID. Spend almost the whole morning, took quite a while with the electrician. We were advised to do re-wiring as some of the wires look old and cannot make it already. Shall see what's the price difference 1st before making any decision. ID was saying there were quite a number of point 'shifting' and so the price may be steep and suggested to do re-wiring... headache leh, budget already so tight. Cost may easily go up to $2K leh Most likely we will fabricate a full height cabinet beside the washer which i intend to place my oven there. I have not purchase my oven bcos i told ID it's defeating the purpose to buy an "oversized" oven if the full height cabinet has size limitation, so he should advise on the right size and from there i can proceed to do my oven sourcing. So, eventually he said then have to wait till carpenter comes in lor. By then, i tot it will be too late Edited July 19, 2010 by infinitie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old wires can be electrical vampires especially when connected with old household appliances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
