aegis 1 Report post Posted September 4, 2011 I also have the same problem... No one seems to be working. I had to keep pestering my ID....The whole week nothing is done except Saturday the electrician came over to lay the base of the conduit. ID are suppose to rectify the issue that i email to him during this whole week, but excuse are he got manpower issue due to Hari Raya and his Malaysia tilers are on leave. I have told him i will delay the 3rd payment until i'm satified with his rectification work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stardust205 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2011 Agree with you. It defin adds more flexibility without the false ceilings and cornies.Having said so, my hse has L-box and cornies in living & dining areas. These are done up by ex-owner and it restricts my electrical work to a great extent Yet it would burst our budget if we to hack everything away and redo. No choice, we just had to make concessions on our wiring layout plan..I like expose truking so next time i want to troubleshoot/add anything it's easier for me.

So in the end $$$ restrict what we want to do. Edited September 6, 2011 by aegis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aegis 1 Report post Posted September 6, 2011 Some update today. Water pipe is up, but can see is a F**K up workmanship.Existing water pipe shifted up as request by me, but the electrician go lay the base of electric conduit directly behind the water pipe. This will cause short circuit if there is a leak. Informed the ID to shift the power point location.Electric conduit was lay before the water pipe and now it look so ugly and water is so close to the electric conduit. Sure won't pass PUB test.This is the worse thing i see, water pipe for my rain shower is bended i don't think any water can pass through. Feed back to the ID and get him to replace all the bending parts with elbow joint.Copper piping was replace back when they so call spolit it during hacking when i instruct them to keep the existing copper pipe.Another view of the piping.

aegis 1 Report post Posted September 6, 2011 the price sounds good,especially if u have quite a bit of carpentry.Inflation and things is getting moe expensive now.Yours without GST right?The only carpentry is the kitchen cabinet top and bottom. GST should be included as this is the net price i'm paying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
