Anyone knows of good Air con contractor? my air-con trunking is @3$5^6. Don't understand why must go across 3 rooms just to get to one place. :curse: I need a good air con contractor to help me do a re trunking or not, I have to bust my budget on new air con liao.

Hope someone here can advise me. Thanks a lot.. :bow:

Update of renovation. Till now, Kitchen hacked, toilet half hacked. Addition cost so far is to replace my master bedroom sewage pipe and change of kitchen top to Granite. To save for these addition cost, we decided to change all wardrobe to casement door. Can save a few hundreds :o

Aircon trunking have to run all over the place becos their kids want to play racing car? Formula One?

Aiyo, it really look bad, spoilt all our plans for the furniture layout.

Day is the 3rd day. Laying tiles starting.

Yesterday our ID suggested we do plastering for the whole house. And we went ahead after some bargaining.

It was a Sales vs Sales talk yesterday and I think he also sweat when he see me with the original quote in hand, and hubby has his measuring tape in his.

For each extra item, we will counter with 2 items reduction. Either remove, or reduce. On the other hand, I kept asking him to confirm anymore 'surprise' for us better put upfront.

Thought of a better route for the aircon truncking, hope it will works. Renovation is really a tedious journey.

[yhliang 1]

Sand and cement up, ready for tiling

Found a new route for the aircon pipe. Hope it works

Today loots from heritage

Hope this can fit inside my small toilet

My ID say top mount better, then top mount lor. Haha, didn't know top mount and undermount so much different in price. Guess becos top mount are all round edge and don't have the "cushion" layer underneath
