taichipanda 3 Report post Posted May 4, 2012 Kirk... no wonder morganwu say that you are lucky. The cement screed flooring has been sealed with multiple layer of lacquer and all the cracks have settled, dont think it will crack anymore, the cement was mixed with a lot of hardener, not water when it was first done. You may wish to re-lacquer the worn off patch in main bedroom, caused by my chair's botak feet. There were no termite infestation during the 9 years i live there, so no need to worry. Even heavy rain, very seldom the water will pour into the kitchen and main bedroom, maybe some extra care along the corridor area, due to the flat shape, very windy so if heavy rain, water will hit the main door area.

This tiny wall used to hold the entrance of the WIW. Edited May 4, 2012 by denimart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

denimart 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2012 3rd May 2012 continues....Contractor told me that the wall inside the bathroom must cement properly as nowadays many bigger reno firm skip this procedure to save cost on cement and sand inorder to meet client's quote. I notice some of the other forum member when they show the pics taken during the tiling, the wall does not cement at all. Con mention that if this procedure are skip, this will result in future popping and cracking of tiles and also the grout line will be v wide cos the tiler if close up the space inbetween tiles, the uneveness of tiles will be shown v obviously which tiler is trying to avoid. This cost saving trick will result in few thousand dollars saving but in longer run will be disastrous to the homeowner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One huge pile of sand only enough for the master bedroom bathroom! Con will order more sand as this type of sand is specially for wall of bathroom...he mention is some kind of river sand which is more sticky.Kitchen not much, only certain area are cement.

denimart 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2012 4th May 2012When i reach the place during late evening, new pile of sand already sitting in the kitchen and probably half was used. Common bathroom wall and entrance had already cemented and MBT floor had what seems like a ayer of darker paint?...i'm guessing that was the water proofing layer..
