Your experience for carpentry and painting finishes are typical. For some strange reason, carpenters generally don't seem to seal gaps/holes unless instructed. As for painters, my advice is instruct them to leave behind paint and touch up yourself. For these type of workers, they either don't have the passion/ownership or get frustrated when they have to do repeated rectification works and I was already mentally tired of talking towards the end of reno. To bypass all these negative emotions on both sides and save time/saliva, I decided to touch up the parts that I missed telling them. At the same time, it allowed me to understand the nooks and crannies of the entire house because painting really brings you high and low throughout the unit. Most importantly, I like the satisfaction of adding the finishing touches.

Yeah thats what we ended up telling ourselves too.. I think overall, my experiences though tired but eventually mostly done up nicely.. So I feel still okay la.

Almost there! Can't wait to see how your nest is going to turn out!

Yeahhhh..!

So overall would you still recommend Dennis? I know at the halfway mark you did, but there seemed to be some hiccups towards the end

If you recommend him, could you PM me his contact please? Thanks!

Today TV Installation.. Hubby took this picture after installation done, he says that this guy who install our TV very pro, almost dust free.

Courts T&C state No wall-mounting will be done on ceilings or feature walls *especially ours got no real wall backing, we don't want hassle*, so end up we only get the free bracket which came with the TV purchase, and hired Dorne to do it for us.. Didn't want Dennis's to do it cos they don't provide warranty, TV drop after that then GG.

Dorne charge $50 (discount to $42 in the end cos we bought cable from him too) labour charge to install on our TV swivel feature wall, with Lifetime Warranty.

He also teach Hubby how to do it so he can do it himself next time if we wanna change TV in future.

I think its quite a good deal, as others quote around $80-$120 with no (or the most 1 year) warranty. Happy!

HELLO~ We spent our left over weekend free-time (got weddings to attend) doing deep cleaning and moving some of our stuff over to our new place.. Setting up some stuff like washing machine racks, tower fan and floor lamp..

Pictures below for those who are interested with TV Swivel Feature Wall, and curious with how the wirings are done to minimize expose cables on the outside of console..

Just sharing how mine's done..

Notice there is a white cable cover on the bottom console? We can add on a soundbar and connect the cables through this hole to underneath's power socket, or to connect our home telephone to the power sockets and telephone point underneath.

Power sockets / SCV Point / Tel Point / Data Point

Our big Lazy Susan Swivel Mechanism..

Underneath the bottom console.. You really have to squat down and look upward then can see such a "mess".

We've connected our TV with 3 HDMI cables ready for future add on consoles, to just plug and use.

Left over jobs to be done:

Full Length Mirror for Mini Walk-in Closet (2nd - 3rd July)

Glass Works - (2nd - 3rd July)

MBR Shower Screen Door

Common Bathroom Shower Screen Door

Kitchen Half Wall Fixed Panel

Kitchen Sliding Door

Kitchen Glass Backsplash

Tiler Touch Ups on Goutlines - (2nd - 3rd July)

Kitchen & Both MBR + Common Bathroom

PS: I will do a final review on my ID and other renovation contacts after the final hand over.. Any contact recommendations will also be given out after the official hand over..
