The tiler came last Friday to re-do the groutings filling up the gaps washed out by acid cleaning when painter finished their 2nd attempt to touch up and/or repainting.

Tiler Ah Lim, a smart decision by the contractor boss to send him over, called me up at about 4pm asking if I want to come back to check before he leaves. As I was unwell & held up elsewhere, I told him No, as it was alreay 4pm, and by the time I reached home, there won't be enough time.

So, I went back yesterday and found tiler had done a good job, attending to almost what I have conveyed when I met him during lunchtime on Friday. However, I had a detailed check around my whole house and found these:

- 2 pieces of wall tiles at common toilet have chipped corners, probably caused by other contractors when they use the facility.

- the joint between grey feature wall & side of door frame - grout lines need to touch up.

Painting is still a pain in the A**!!!!!!!

I am rejecting again, but I asked the Project Manager to get someone else to do the rectification. I understand they will send their in-house staff to come to attend to the problem, as Im afraid the painter will get very pissed off and will try to do 'something funny' to my house!!

Your place is looking up nicely! Can you PM me ur ID and reno costs? Have just gotten my place and am looking around for a good ID to do up our place.

Thanks!

My white kitchen cabinet is not like those 'PAP' or nurses white uniform; it is very close to the pictures which I posted here.

The whole kitchen now looks very bright and classy. Further, with the white solid surface, you won't see scratches.

You may come over to see my white kitchen if you are in the West.

My laminate is from the WHITELOGIC 2011 Laminate range, EDL brand. But I can't recall the name of glossy white colour I have chosen. It has little sparklings on it....

Will you install the glass cabinet, like mine?

Storeroom & shoe cabinet:

The shelves inside the 'walk-in' store room:

The same guy who installed Pole System wardrobe sliding doors seen here installing the 2 huge sliding doors...this guy is very meticulous; the HDB walls of older flats are slanting and he tried his best to solve the problem by adjusting the frame & coordinating with the carpenter on how to resolve the gaps between walls.

The shoe cabinet is almost done, except for one door which the carpenter short buy one set of Blum hinges. The shoe cabinet will be adjusted to close the gap between the sliding doors.

This is the wooden sliding door for Master Bedroom toilet entrance
