WengLinJie 5 Report post Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) So it considered finally over. After many sorry-s & psps-es for delaying minor touch ups.My house is currently without a unit-number plate, with cracked floors and existing sharp edges pending for "touch-up" which I still dunno when ("tmr? next week? maybe?").Anyway, I want to SAY that MY electrician is SUPER freaking good! LOVE him MAX. He did the fan, some added cove lightings and some of my Taobao wall decor on behalf of the ID's electrician (because the person never exist?). Its a RIGHT choice to find our own electrician. He will pop-by my place randomly to check on my renovation progress. I bump into him twice in my new place and he said he was nearby so he came up to see if there is anything he could do (no one ask him to). Even before we start our renovation, (those "empty" weeks waiting for the hacking approval from HDB) he went up few times to see if anything can be done instead of us having to call him up. Super nice and proactive guy (boss). Also, his answers to our requests is either "ok, can" or "nope, cannot", no complaints and no excuses which I appreciate loads. Thumbs UP!

WengLinJie 5 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 Not sure how much left. Haven received his final calculations (due to some credit note). I guess should be 2 or 3 thousand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Satined 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 Hi, chanced upon yr blog and saw we have a similar unit layout. Sorry to hear all your frustrating moments with the irresponsible ID. Hope you can get all the hiccups sorted out soon. I am still looking for a suitable ID and thinking of how to do up the kitchen as I think the kitchen is quite short and narrow. Do you mind posting more pictures of your kitchen. I am having a headache of where to put my fridge, washing machine etc. like to get some ideas from you. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WengLinJie 5 Report post Posted September 15, 2014 Will try to upload more photos soon.Although my house is very pretty now, there are many things that could be better (before they are left with no other choice).They are price-reasonable but not "normal" forgetful. If your project is not my type of tiny 3-room HDB, you might get to see more of their efforts. When I say "their", refers to the whole team, the company, tiler, carpenter, painter etc.When you dont think you can, say so. Sorry seems to be the hardest easiest word for people who didnt care.
