HL85 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2013 Haven't gone up since Sat, developer tying up loose ends for defects, tmrw gotta catch the supervisor to highlight a few more problems..Meanwhile, thru his recommendation I got the developer sub con Ah Leong to tile up the grass patch in the backyard.. previously the area behind the drain covers were (overgrown) cow grass turfing & much-hated ants were nesting there!Looks much much better now.. Tmrw gonna call Ah Leong up and ask him whether he's gonna remove the cement marks and get the paint from developer to touch up the boundary wall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's better not to hand them the keys , better to ask them provide those number locks to secure your gates or doors.Anyway good luck to your reno! Hope it will be completed asap so that you can move in before the lunar seventh month. Haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
