infinitie 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2010 Look at the brighter side You will definitely save electricity bills with new electrical wires. I believe most electricians will confirm this theory. Old wires can be electrical vampires especially when connected with old household appliances. I have no idea it does make a different.

infinitie 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) At around 6plus, my friend happened to pass by and I was told that the windows at our new house were not closed so i tot the plumber assistant forgot to shut our windows which we told him to do so. At around 7plus, HB went over to check, to his shock a few errors were detected which we had just discussed this morning only!! He told the assistant there and he panicked. -requested shut out valve for every outlet were not in place. -common toilet bidet spray was fixed at the wrong side. -used black cement on instead of white to do patching on our "white tiles". HB was like huh, this was what we discussed?? Call ID immediately and he said he will rectify tomorrow. *fainted* Edited July 19, 2010 by infinitie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poloso him lah! Kekeke... Really good buy and it's **** soft. Can't wait to use it immediately. At first i tot better dun put rug since our girl has sensitive skin but looking at the material it seems that dust trapping could be minimum. The assistant said it's quite easy to maintain just vacuum frequently and carpet shampoo once a while will do. I think there is abit of communication breakdown b/w the plumber and his worker bah, his "foreign worker" was there during discussion too.

Ya, the net trap is important, esp for drop hair. Without the netting it will be quite noisy too. Stainless steel dun have netting ah? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But paisley leh cos already spoke to electrician although nothing has been committed. then try and ask steven to reduce the price. tell him you can only pay $x (give him a figure), from my experience, they tend to accept it (but obviously don't lowball them la). maybe your obligation to them makes it easier for them to quote you a markup figure..

infinitie 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2010 looking at the electrical quote again, the $600 is actually meant for switch control as well. But, still 'gui' right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
