So Far So Good At Foliage [4-Room]

[plainsharon 20]

Day 77

About a week have past since the last update~

Nothing much have been done for this past 6 days as we were waiting for carpentry to be up.

Evorich Flooring

Meanwhile, we have resolve the issue with evorich on the flooring, they have brough their staff to fill in the gaps which could host ants and mentioned that such issue might occur after moving in for the next 3 months as the flooring needs time to settle down.

The issue with the flooring was brought up by Mr K who have super sharp eyes on such stuffs especially such errors from Evorich.

Customer of Mr K will know of issues he had with Evorich.

High Standard

Anyway having such high standard for such mistakes, it brings up our standard for Mr K and we spotted a couple stuffs and brought it up to Mr K.

Firstly was the imbalance cut drainage from the concrete sink which we understand could not be help as almost perfect circle-cut would not be possible.

Electrical Wiring

Secondly, is the electrical wiring which pertrutes like this when the rest of the electricity is being concealed :

Though the image is from far out, when we took a detail look we could spot the multiple broken casing used to cover the wiring.

Being our first home renovation we have no idea if it might be a issue till later we realized it looks quite ugly, thus texted Mr K on our concern and if this might be the usual procedure. What we were told was that the casing will be concealed behind the carpentry thus it will be alright.

Which makes me wonder, wont the pertruting casing blocks the carpentry etc. which Mr K emphasis that it will not be expose so why bother about the looks of it or other issues.

Which makes me wonder too, does it means that since after pooping, you will not see the poo left as your pants will be covering it thus no need to wipe your as*. hmmmmmm...

Anyway we have no idea how it will be resolve as we leave it to his hands as he first gave us the sign that he has high standard.

Anyway our fridge was delivered just before Christmas we left it in the Living Room so that the gas in the Fridge could settle down but not able to place it in the kitchen as carpentry and painting have yet to be up.

Update

Carpentry will be up today or tomorrow as per what Mr K have mentioned.

According to Mr K's other customers, the rest should be up pretty quickly after the carpentry will see and update once there is an update.

hAhhaHA! have to remind him before reno starts but after it gets started it should and suppose to move on smoothly. But i just checked with him, I was at my place to monitor Evorich lay HERF and Mr K suddenly pop by my place to check on the shower screen. I did mentioned about your situation and Mr K says after CNY will definitely be okay even starting reno now but delivering after CNY will be good for him too. Just mentioned his conversation with me if he says he cant.

I signed and he did not even chase me for payment until the start of the reno. As our first and second meet up clears most of the items that we wish to do thus the third time we verbally discussed thru phone. I think Mr K don't do email enquiry, call him will be good

walk in waredrobe? Im doing one but the carpentry have not come in yet maybe thats why he mentioned he does not have any on hand? Or maybe could check with him again.

Yup, yup... thanks so much... because I'm interested to see the real thing of a walk-in wardrobe in the MBR, what's the amount of space left to walk.. =p

My carpentry will be in today, hopefully the walk-in-waredrobe will be up by these 2 days and could share some photos. We have used up 2/3 of our bedroom 2 to have 2 sided waredrobe at 7ft each side [ Left and Right]. Some of my neighbours did one sided thus taking lesser of Bedroom 2's space.

We have the walk-in-waredrobe entrance facing the MBR bathroom door.

Thanks~ will update further on the overall. For the HERF, initially we do smell some rubber smell but the smell gradually went away~

As for the settling of the flooring, as per Alex Aw, the sales director of Evorich, mentioned to monitor after moving in, if issues might arise it will usually be the first 3 months, after first 3 months it does not occurs the flooring will be good for life.

He did impart some knowledge on HERF that it is easier to maintain compare to laminate while laminate might or will have popping issue but he did emphasis that for HERF after 3 months if the popping issues does not occurs it will not occur. They seems to value great trust on the product allure which was the HERF used.

Oh! u use Bedroom 2! I have the same intention toooo, but hubby banned this idea... he says must leave the bedroom 2 for baby in future. so now we are gg to squeeze a small L-shaped wiw into the MBR........ so looking forward to your pictures, would love to see how it looks when it's being done.... even tho i can't do it.

Anyway, good to hear that on HERF, coz we are going to use HERF too!!

Update

Misquote and Misunderstanding

Mr K just called and asked about the door at the walk-in-waredrobe.

He sometimes is pretty forgetful thus reminded him that what we initially mentioned and was supposedly quoted for 2 piece louver wood door.

Regret that we did not have him revise the quote to be more precise now it is now stating 2 piece of door and door frame at Master Bedroom instead of louver as initially mentioned.

Now he mentioned that the 2 piece louver door would cost 1k over and he actually quoted $850 for the supposedly louver door becomes 2 piece normal door

This is the second time which this kind of misquote issues happens.

First Misquote with Mr K on Sink

The first one was the concrete sink which we mentioned to have the sink as Pinkwhale but end up we were only quoted for the concrete sink w/o the sink and we have to purchase our own sink. We did insisted that what we asked for is simply same as Pinkwhale and end up, after completion then he mentioned that we need to do a top-up for it.

After all these he told us that the 2 piece louver door would not looks nice as our door frame was being cut too small as he initially have mis-measured and did not consider for door frame. So if we are using louver door it will looks thinly slim and not nice according to Mr K, not sure about how true is that.

That leaves us with no other alternatives, insist louver door = indirectly adding reno fees and according to Mr K it will not be nice.

Hi Plainsharon,

Your carpentry is very nicely done up.

Is it convenient to share with me the cost for your kitchen cabinet, mosaic backing, concrete sink support and the concrete sink in your service balcony? I just want to have a rough idea of how much they cost. Planning to have them for my new BTO flat.

Thanks.

Hi Plainsharon,

Your carpentry is very nicely done up.

Is it convenient to share with me the cost for your kitchen cabinet, mosaic backing, concrete sink support and the concrete sink in your service balcony? I just want to have a rough idea of how much they cost. Planning to have them for my new BTO flat.

Thanks.

Those glass mosaic cost about 1.7k but price might varies depending on the lenght.

Our kitchen cahinet consist of cement works and carpentry works, our kitchen were the most expensive, about 10k for kitchen itself as cement works tends to be more expensive.

We are not sure the final price of the kitchen cabinets as the quote price was longer than the exact measurement. Carpentry for kitchen cabinets is about $5k. While the concrete about $4k but it does not includes the tiling for the concrete yet.

For the concrete sink we were quoted $650 for the same exact concrete sink as pinkwhale if you might know her from Mr K's previous customer but later Mr K told us the $650 does not includes the sink. So there will be a top up later on which we have no idea how much it will be.

What the length of the space of the walk way??

The length of the walk in waredrobe space is 7ft.

Wiw carpentry looks pretty! Finally everything seems to come together...

Yes~ finally~ waiting for the rest of the loose ends to tie up properly.
