joseeng 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2010 so on HO day, u just returned lock, then byebye and off he goes? Did he ask about payment? Or did you have to tell him that you will check defects then pay him? I am still not sure how to approach it on that day - kinda pai seh to say need to hold bc have not fully checked ... ya, i just returned him the lock and off he goes. he did not ask for payment and i also did not expect him to ask for it on that day. i think its a common understanding tat he ask for payment after the defect inspection. do not have to feel paiseh cos he will ask you for it eventually.

bearlyn2406 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2010 *Blush* Jia lat, soon people will remember me as THE mopper I tired the goo remover, not very effective for the sticky residue and furthermore there are alot of residue. It's good for cleaning other stains though but not the residue. Turpentine is really much easier. As for the smell, ask your hubby to do it while you go down NTUC to buy groceries ba. mopping club.. mayb can turn into a biz opportunity. lol ya, i just returned him the lock and off he goes. he did not ask for payment and i also did not expect him to ask for it on that day. i think its a common understanding tat he ask for payment after the defect inspection. do not have to feel paiseh cos he will ask you for it eventually. u live in the hse ma, so he not scared u run away. somemore he got ur particulars. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huat ah! No hard and fast rule actually. Some people throw pine apples, some do prayers. For me I gotta hold a new clay stove and walk into the house later with burning charcoal in it.

froggy 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2010 got 2 quick questions to any kind soul who is RTalking now ... 1. is the hood wall-mounted or does it lend support from the top hung cabinets on its sides? For a chimney hood, does it need to "sit" on an extended portion of the cabinet or does it "hang" independently? 2. Can you see the screws on your cabinet interior? Do they protrude or flushed to the surface of the wood? thanks you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlurRhino 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2010 oh from the pics everything looking good for you wor!! Cant help u with the hood question but the screws protuding in the interior of the cabinet, i will consider as poor finishing wor.. did u feedback to your contractors? its a potential point to get yourself cut by the protuding screws lor..
