muska1119 1 Report post Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Day 5 23 MarSurprised to find out there's recess above every window in the rooms which was covered up by a board.. When the cornice were tear down, the board was affected too...so need to build back the partition board...The aircon contractor Aktiff was really nice, arranged his staff to remove the aircon in the evening for plastering work.. I'm sure if we engaged gain city or best tech they would charge us extra to come so many times.. Edited March 23, 2012 by muska1119 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beluga 1 Report post Posted March 23, 2012 Actually few days ago I also changed myMind wanna open an opening at kitchen wall .. Cos I saw on tv program .. Looking good.. Then call him.. He also said too late heh..This did cross my mind too but my mum is heavy cooker. If do this then need a sliding door at the opening which I think defeats the purpose.

muska1119 1 Report post Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Day 8 26 MarMonday.. The tiles for both toilets are up, window grills fix and kitchen window are change..Love the hor window grill at least don't feel like staying in jail.. We survived past 8 yrs at old hse without grill with very young kids .. Sure will take some time to get used to it again.The toilet tiles didn't manage to do 2 tone.. Oos again..Can't see clearly if the joining are perfect as we got there late..The workers put this type of steel at all edges of hse be4 plaster.. Super nice after effect Edited March 26, 2012 by muska1119 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
