Terrain1976 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2012 19 Mar 2012 (Pre-reno)After meeting 3 contractors, we are more or less quite firm with one of the contractors. Meeting contractors and explaining our requirements all over and over again is really a tiring process (although only 3). More tiring than house hunting i think We are planning to view one of his projects, if everything goes well, we will confirm with him next week! In the weekend, we have gone to Hafary and LSH to see see look look. Just to get a rough idea on the tiles selection. We found that the tiles that we love are mainly Italian tiles! Have talked to the contractor and he said he is ok for us to use tiles above 3.80 for certain area. He is quite flexible in this. Happy~Hi,Mind to PM me who are the 3 contractors? Me also in headache position now as i need to make my decision by end of this mth.. Till date, none of my contractor is free to bring me for any viewing of their completed of on going work at all..

Contractors are usually the most busiest group of people in reno, all if not most of them will not be able to entertain you by bring you around to view their workmanship, that is the job for Interior Designer.

Valerie Low 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) did he says when? did you tell him i intro? if he thinks you are one of those "walk in" customer, then priority is not given.Not sure what he thinks of us. But first he remembered the wrong appt date, then he was late for the meeting, and third he said he is very keen to get this business done, as he still has not got project for April. So he will try his best to get a good price for us. But after that.. no news liao. My hubby also sien liao. Yes I told him you introduced. Anyway, never mind hehe.. Thanks for ur help Edited March 22, 2012 by ValerieLow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having pendant light for the dining table, then track lights like in Option 1 with fan and a row of track light near the windows. no need for the other track light near the dining table.

But just four track lights near the window will it be bright enough? Maybe I am too greedy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
