jus4fun 4 Report post Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) You would know the speed of your contractor best, but for the ID I engaged, they worked seriously fast, so they could finish a lot in 2 weeks if they wanted to. So maybe yours can also do that! But of course, finishing fast is one thing, we don't want them to finish fast with tonnes of things to rectify later it's neat, for now. we'll just have to make the effort to keep things back where we took them and not buy things unnecessarily unless we need them. that's why storage is important. wait till you see the insides of our storage areas Z3phy, looks like still quite a fair bit to go wor.. painting, carpentary, lighting, etc.. but if ur contractor fast & everything goes swee swee for you.. get ready for a nice & cozy home in 2 weeks' time!! dat time, i oso felt dat things were moving much slower than i would like but my ID kept telling me to relax.. i really sweat!! --'"By the way, your contractor doing painting or carpentary first? For me, painting first before laminate flooring & carpentry bcos my ID said if the other way it's inevitable dat the flooring & carpentary would kena some paint; so it's easier to touch up the paint afterwards wor!

Makanology 29 Report post Posted April 8, 2013 The stapled storeroom door looks like gypsum board material which is a much lower quality. Better check with ID ASAP. Gypsum board is made from sawdust & plaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My handover supposed to be 20apr...duno can finish by then anot?!?!?swaskie, ours really abt the same time. lol. take one step at a time lo. better ensure the quality is good. yesterday they laid the flooring for the rooms...went ard checking.. saw some parts not done up properly. like under the aircon pipes. i'm going to complain to the contractor. tell him his pple think we noobs, never check on their work rite. lol.but so far he's ok la. got take in our "feedback".

If you don't mind allocating more space for your rabbits, get a puppy pen from any pet shop, and construct an area where they can be kept. The pen gives them more space to hop around freely, and when you're home, you can let them out for even more exercise. Rabbits can be toilet trained to go in the same spot, so you can do that and not have to worry about a mess Edited April 9, 2013 by summersann Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They like to keep themselves clean whenever they can, so you'll have to clear it often too so that they'll want to use it.You're using puppy pen to keep them in? Cuz puppy pens are quite tall! They still jump out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
