dbkungfu 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) Day 19 (Saturday) - songcho delivery & onsite solar film measurement, zero reno activities Completed stuff since last visit 1. Veneer doors installation 2. Downlights installation 3. Living/mbr/rooms light installation 4. Kitchen pipe boxup 5. Common bathroom doorframe resize (smaller to fit sliding door design) Today Songcho delivery on time - jestac (3m at 10am) & windowcool (llumar at 12:30pm) salesman/girl arrive on time - , so awaiting their quotation next week. Wanna to do reflective film but understand that hdb doesnt allow, but windowcool salesman mentioned no problem ... should I take the risk ? The thing is reflective is just adding 20cent plus block heat better. Since stupidly wait for them to come & nothing to do ... took some photo below Songcho - kitchen basket, dishrack, toilet accessories Veneer doors HDB conceal wiring inner peak Kitchen pipe boxup - problem 1, there should not have gap between cabinet (tobe) & boxup. Need to rectify with ID on this Edited June 12, 2010 by dbkungfu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My carpenter quoted me $900 for boxing up pipes in my service balcony and 2 toilets Hi Strawberry mine kitchen boxup is FOC But common bathroom is $450 ... bathroom should be more expensive as it have to be waterproof. Seriously my pricing is a bit high but since ID give & take in a lot of stuff, I find the price ok, also kitchen based is FOC also. Of course, they had earn a lot already, all this is just small thingy to them. Important is the quality & workmanship have to be acceptable plus complete in time.

Sealant, I think dont have. I was there when they did it, they just paint the color on the wall. Frankly, my 1st coat is not nippon, some cheapo paint called maxlite. Didnt do plastering since ID mentioned he can do patch up for those obvious area for me. Will remind him again 'cos wf n me saw certain area especially around the lighting. anyway, my bro-in-law who did commercial plastering, mentioned no matter how good the plastering (used net, plaster n polish etc ) done, few months down the road, u will definitely see some hair line crack. maybe b'cos hdb nowaday build flat in "lego" style. hope this help, sorry not so expert in this area Edited June 14, 2010 by dbkungfu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
