You will get the box with original contents, original receipt (I actually bought some other Fan in this receipt) and warranty card as well. If you are interested PM me. Hi bro, I just PM you on this fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure if it is possible but perhaps you can try giving my contractor a call for more quote options! i understand from my sister's friend (who owns a condo) that generally condo renovations come at a more hefty price tag..i am not sure why the premium price - maybe because of the premium housing option and condo regulations? in any case i hope you find a package that is within your budget!

But my friends who did them says is worth it.. @lifeissimple oh i really hope it's worth it then! i guess their branding is there and the quality should not be compromised (i really hope so considering we paid it at a higher price compared to other vinyl companies) but then there's other reputable vinyl companies who are just as good. nope i bought it during their anniversary sale which took place sometime last year.

Hello @d3n , i checked with Nick and he will be getting his registration in Sep - currently processing now. I agree that there is a certain risk going along with him considering that he's quite sui bian in certain areas but he has proved to us that he's trustworthy and reliable especially in terms of delivering results (which was of more importance to us), hence we still went along with him. I'm still halfway through my renovations so perhaps you would like to drop by again when I have updates. In the meantime, if you still have your reservations, I would recommend you check out other IDs and contractors first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same as you - I had a rough idea in my head already so I was looking for a contractor to execute it out and provide technical advice and Nick was great during that meeting because he highlighted potential problems which would arise from what we wanted so it was all there and out in the open. We like that he was transparent and in-your-face kind of blunt. I had an experience with another potential ID who basically agreed to everything that I wanted which seemed like he was overpromising me. To be honest, my fiance and i are both very busy with work and the upcoming wedding hence we hardly have time to check on the progress too. I think engaging Nick would require that you also go down frequently just to check because he truly forgets sometimes because he's very busy. He requires a little push at times but he gets it done quickly when he's available to. Hope the above info helps. I think you have to meet him and decide for yourself if he's the one for you. 8 hours ago, NOTSomebody said: Hi Can you PM me Nick's contact as well? Thank you very much!

pipsqueak 3 Report post Posted July 4, 2016 Installation of gas heater and carpentry updates Not sure if we are the chillest couple or what but our renovation is sure taking an awfully long time and we are only starting to get gancheong because it's a little too close to our wedding and so we are starting to chase Nick lol. Here are some updates in the meantime Thanks to @bykaraanne advice on gas heaters (it was really helpful for us!) - we decided to heed her advice and install the Macro brand as well. We haven't tried it yet..maybe will do a review of this once we take a shower or something here ahha. Carpentry was installed only week before but I must admit that the delay was largely due to us (or me ahem) being fickle-minded over the laminates. Please go to the laminate factory to have a look at the full sized samples because the small pieces will tell you nothing about how the whole design/grain looks like eventually. We were going back and forth over lighter shades of wood to darker shades..we ended up on the dark spectrum as evident below. Our shoe cabinet, with space below for us to slot in shoes which we wear more often. Kitchen cabinets not fully installed yet. And our wardrobe area which will also be a study area on the other side. Some boo-boos found during our inspection... 1) We wanted Nick to customize a drawer to fit the Ikea cutlery trays and we mentioned it many times but he was either too busy or he forgot. So he will be fabricating another one for us based on our current drawer's measurements. 2) Gap between shoe cabinet and db box was supposed to be wide enough to house a stool for us to wear our shoes but the gap ended up to be around 5cm wide. He wanted to box up the area and paint it but we are counter proposing that he inserts some planks to make a small shelving for us to leave our mails and keys instead. We will see how this goes.

JohnJohn 13 Report post Posted July 4, 2016 I'm in a similar situation. My reno started in April and my ID told me it will be done by end June. So I have been very chill. All I told him was I wanted to move in by mid-July (unlike you, I don't have a wedding to prep for, but I do want to move in before 7th month starts on 3 August). So now, I'm chasing my ID quite a bit too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bykaraanne 30 Report post Posted July 4, 2016 Hey! Glad you got it installed. I hope you like it. I'm enjoying it - cooking almost everyday + bathing my gas bill last month was $6+. In colder months it didn't exceed $13. I like that it's environmentally friendly and does the job! can't wait to see it completed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
