skyspectrum 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2008 celing cracks is natural progression of building structure setting in, its natural. happen even to condo and bunglow as well. nothing the authorities can do about it. Agreed. In July, we saw a long hairline crack (across the sstudy room). Worst still .... two big bubbles (that popped out from the paint, inner wall problem) appeared. No choice but to call my contractor to feedback. he was nice to get his man to come over to touch up for me ... but tell you all ... messy is the word ... but now all okie liao ... only left with one last problem ... the partition wall in MBR ... btw our bed and the walk-in wardrobe. Can see obvious lines between the wooden boards ... must be caused by the building movements .... have already tried mending it thrice ... but the lines still come back ... have toyed with the idea to have the whole partition wall wall-papered .... now waiting for the spare cash to come year end before deciding. Also the mixer in the MBR drippig after bathing .... super bad quality .... Wah, so many people want to see MP, a lot of things to complain Why change so many times? Same as Jule, we changed only the flush system. Backflow Problem persists. Now awaiting for Peter or Mr Tan to call me to change the bowl .... hope they will call soon .... Update you guys again .... cheers. Happy Weekend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TYM 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2008 Anyway, about the party, must advertise abit: Date: 18 Oct 08 Time: 4pm to 8pm Location: Blk 91A (pavillion) Its a welcome party for the SERS completion, there will be food and drinks, games and also some contests for you all to participate. One of them is the "Green Home" contest, where you must take two innovative photos of your home that is green, eg landscaping (got palm tree, coconut tree one can apply), or how you recycle stuff at home. I got the flyers, free right? (cheepo) jule. what did the HDB soldier says? looking into it for so long? this only shows how inefficent they are. Typical civil service mentality, nobody complain, just sit on it, until somebody complain again. I last time also tan(4) jia(4) peng(1) . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My bubbles had been resolved by my contractor ... peeled off, plastered and then painted. took about 1-2 hrs. Not so bad though. As for the shower head and mixer, you may want to change it after a few months of usage ... at least you used them before replacing ... hehehe ... same idea of changing tyres when just collected a new car ... drive for a few months before replacing them with better quality ones. Old flats less design and fanciful things ... nowadays .... they want to make you "wow" with nice thngs, but compensated with poor quality ... only nice to see for a while .... Am still waiting for Mr Tan or Peter to update me on the bowls. Maybe they are still sourcing for quotes and getting them approved. Wait lor ... I recalled the first time Peter called me .. was back in May08. The next time we were notified of the replacement of the flush was back in Aug/Sep08 ... took about 3 mths ... so we are not surprised that they will only replace our 2 bowls at Xmas period.

I've not logged in to Renotalk for quite a while, so now trying to catch up on the topics that I've missed. Re the toilet bowl problem, after moving in for 3 mths, realise that we have the backflow problem too. How did HDB contact u guys to replace the flush? Was it because you had feedback on the problem previously? So if I also want mine replaced, I will need to call Mr Tan? wow...that sounds like quite a good pricing for 2 mixers...good deal...

Hey Sohzai! Welcome to the TH neighbourhood! Agree that packing is such a headache. Took us 1 whole week to pack everything in the old place, and we even stayed up the entire nite to finish up before the move, didn't sleep at all. Worst is having to uppack after moving! Till now, 3 mths after we move, we still had some stuff packed away in boxes. hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
