applefreak 1 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 got one forummer say that they list the WCs as a defect coz the masking tape mark cannot be remove so the TO changed the WC for them. so i'm going to use the same thing and ask Ng to change for me. hopefully can lahthe tiles faded until dunno like what liaoif they hack for me then will ask them to remove the balcony sliding door coz doing windows for the balcony anyway.met up with patrick today, very happy with him coz although the amount i plan to spend is very little, but he gave a lot of opinion and practical suggestions. if his final quote is within my budget, most prob will go with him liao. but he make it very clear that if i want an L-shaped kitchen got to sacrifice my breakfast table. so in the end most prob i will end up with a galley style kitchen !!

No choice...we have to prioritise what we want most and some of the items we have no choice but to drop them.... I thought over for very long time to give up the idea of hacking my toilets...haha...

Homeowner 1 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 Hopefully your sister will use it soon 'cos such things cannot be kept...a friend kept hers for 5 years before passing it to me...but the tap had little black spots and the plastic and rubber stuff were brittle. But, I think the plumber should be able to find replacements for the plastic and rubber stuff at hardware stores though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
