laion 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) 1 June, two issues cropped upThe gap created for sliding window wall was not desired and not as discussed. This gap is definitely a breeding place for dirt and dead creatures.The tiles laid at the entrance stairs were changed without notice. This was because the tiles agreed were slightly smaller (600x300) than the stairs area and needed larger tiles. They went ahead with the living room tiles (600x600) without informing me. I called up Derrick and we agreed to relay better tiles. He admitted that I should be informed in advance. We will KIV this for now, need to go Balestier again.Refrigerator baseChute installed Edited June 4, 2011 by laion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laion 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2011 New windows! We were quite impressed by the quality and installation so far, they managed to fabricate the windows in two days after I confirmed to go with them on Monday, today is Wednesday and all is up. This contractor was recommended by my friend as Derrick's contact was more pricey. The grills will be installed after plastering and painting.Some tile chippings seen in master toilet, to be rectifiedWall plastering material Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laion 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2011 2 June, gap rectified!I am quite happy with the solution, no more gap. Derrick proposed a good idea which is to cut up some bottom part of the sliding glass to accommodate this. Lets see how it works when the glass is installed.Tiles laying almost completeMaster toilet entrance, tiles same with the toilet floorCommon toilet entrance, tiles same with the kitchen floorInitially I was puzzled that the entrance tiles were not synced up. But I guessed master toilet entrance can't use the room floor's because it is parquet flooring, and the common toilet entrance tiles should match its wall, which is the kitchen's tile scheme.

laion 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2011 notice that the master toilet tiles around the pipe seems to be poorly done, perhaps can ask them to redo again? i wouldnt accept it if i were you....Good call! Actually the master toilet was the very first stage when my expectation was not calibrated. Now that I think it is ugly, will make a note to Derrick. I believe the tiling guys will come back for final touch up, hopefully solve by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laion 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) 7/June, pipes are up, this supply pipe is quite ugly hanging above the kitchen windows. By right it should be installed on the other side where the false ceiling will be able to cover it. Told Derrick about it.This is the water inlet for master toilet basin, there is concern of the basin placement due to small space but now the mirror have to cover half of the windows on topThe tile cracks around master toilet windows rectified, although they did not reinstall the titles Edited June 11, 2011 by laion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
