Guest toilet tiles laid, workmanship is neater than master toilet, especially around the pipes

1 June, two issues cropped up

The 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.

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 rectified

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 complete

img20110602072505.jpg

Master toilet entrance, tiles same with the toilet floor

img20110602073651.jpg

Common toilet entrance, tiles same with the kitchen floor

img20110602073834.jpg

Initially 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.

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.

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 top

img20110607073502.jpg

The tile cracks around master toilet windows rectified, although they did not reinstall the titles
