dbkungfu 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) Life @ Punggol Day 3 I guess like the rest of the folks ... still at exhausting stage, 'cos lot of trial runs on new appliance, then problem discovery. "How come like this & like that ?" . Imagine, common toilet jammed on 1st day, almost overflow ... anyway that over now. Kitchen cabinet is never enough. We even throw away thing after mover shift in ... thrown an old dressing table plus a new shoe cabinet. btw, "helping hand" mover service is good. wf and me was quite pleasant that we gave them $50 extra for makan makan. just take note, this is an company that gave ex-convict a chance in life, so lot of them got tattoo all over. But turn out they are quite nice people, even handle and install stuff carefully. Also quite lucky ID is very prompt on rectifying his stuff. So far, I still owe him 10% + 5k extra for the additional stuff after confirm quotation. Ok too much talking ... photo taken before move in stuff. My curtains from JB ... living room curtain not in place 'cos awaiting shipment of material. Payment $0 ... only upon completion. Service good 1st time came, curtain was a little bit long, so he suggested to bring back to re-adjust length then return < 3days to install after he know that we are shifting in though living room curtain not ready yet MBR day & night full blackout curtain Studyroom day & night full blackout curtain Kids room day & night full blackout curtain Edited July 7, 2010 by dbkungfu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Granite black galaxy countertop (3 pieces) + glass backsplash (2 pieces) + blum drawer (s1+2 x s3+ 2 x runners, all can support max 30kg). Cabinet below hobs change to swing door 'cos got song-cho 2x pull-out basket. Old fridge (right) and washing machine (behind l-shape cabinet) fit in well.
