fifteenmay's 5 room resale

money flowing out again!

carpentry is being installed and it hit a snag this afternoon.

u all remember my citigas saga? so citigas came and drilled a hole to let the gas pipe into my house. today, we realised that carpentry came and measure before citigas fixed the pipe,causing this to happen

 

so id came up with 2 options for us to consider

1st option-id say foc but he say will look very out of place as this area can be viewed from outside through my glass panel...

 

2nd option--must pay money--install top hung cabinets to hide the pipe. he also suggested if we do the top hung cabinets, to move our fridge into the space below it to enhance the kitchen flow... BUT electrical point had already been installed so id has to create a new point there... i can see where he is coming from and it makes sense to move the fridge there however pple would see the side of my fridge when looking in,not ideal but...le sigh.. money has to be spent...

 

Also, after painting and electrical piping went up, we realised that there is alot of small gaps between the electrical pipe and the walls cos walls is not even, resulting in black lines around the house, which was unsightly to me.. couldnt take it and ask id got any solution?? he say got, but must pay money..

bo pian, cannot unsee the black lines so have to spend money to make sui sui.. 

Tonight going up to see progress and will update!

Isn't the wrong measurement considered a lapse by ID which they must make gd?

the carpentry measurement was done before citigas came in with the pipe placement.so cannot say its their fault also cos citigas was the one who placed the pipe outside of the box...i think a unforeseen circumstance..

Huh? But ID should know that you are getting citigas to pull in the pipe mah, so should have arrange with you to ensure citigas pull in pipe before measurement is done what... This is very basic leh - very weird. Maybe you stress him too much that he forgot... hahahahaha

 

My ID ask if I am doing gas hob, and I was having one gas hob, and then say must get the gas pipe in first before the carpentry measurement can do leh.

U all know my citigas saga right? By right, citigas was supposed to lay pipe before carpentry came in but due to the taichi here and there, was only laid after carpentry came and measured. Citigas also lay the pipe in e weirdest place ever, right next to the wall line so even if ask them to redo the whole Tall cabinet, the cabinet wldnt be flushed agst the wall Liao..  

Anyhoo, accepted their suggestion of top cabinets cos more storage is always welcome!

I think that's what I m paying for them to do. apparently, it's not within e scope of the electrical pple.

My ID so far didn't charge me extra for the silicon but he did mention something about sealing only the top part of the casing and not the bottom cos to allow for expansion. Not sure if this is true or not. Any inputs @zph19101

ID shouldn't charge extra lo.. Silicon doesn't cost much. I don't think the casing will expand la. I did it myself at my old house, and its fine.

 i asked my id already. he say that those 45 or 90 degree casings that has holes tt can be seen, its foc filled up with silicon. Kitchen carpentry also is SOP to fill up with silicone but applying silicon to seal up gaps due to uneven ceiling and wall for electrical casing is not SOP,tt s why must top up. he say he will apply silicon top,bottom,left and right everywhere that carpentry doesnt cover.  i think silicon not expensive but labour is
