Alex Iam 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Today went to check on the tiles..almost finished but hor...some areas need rectification..not up to standard leh..then again cannot be perfect lah.. (i) common br step over tiles not straight...quite eyes sore...maybe the sliding door can cover..maybe not..why like that..? ok np..henry explained due to hdb original wall not done properly..that's y..many owners have this issue too..blah..blah..but the sliding door can cover it..will not be so obvious..hopefully...like that must ask for nicer door liao..hehe (ii) master br mosaic cracked!!! ridiculously the tiler still continued sticking them...why like that..? this one not ok..henry explained tiler never see properly after wiping the mosaic..maybe eyes kanna cement?...agreed to replace all problem mosaic for us.. (iii) requested to change fridge and w.machine base to curved edge...henry said very old fasioned...now everyone doing 45 degree one...but we insisted on round edge...don like many sharp edges ard...in the end he agreed to change for us.. ok..so far...henry can accede to our request...hopefully the rectification is up to standard...without delaying the reno process in the meantime..happy nesting! cheers!

Glad that Henry replace the cracked mosaic. Think if he can do it , he sure do it for u For the base , I do agreed that curved edge is better , esp when u guys plan to have kids soon Mine is the 45 degree one. At that time din think of that ... but now when Jaden get older , everything must be more careful . lol Heng not 90 degree .lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
