hobbes11 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 gotten revised quotation from my ID today, abt 36K with close to 7k on carpentry works like kitchen cabinet, granite top, built in wardrobes for 2 rooms, concealment feature wall for shelther, toilet vanity top, toilet cabinets. was wondering if 36k is ok or not; already calculated think all in all we might be spending close to 60k. now i have to decide which is the most impt thing to work on....quite tough; cos seems like everything also impt gonna crack my head tonight.Nevertheless 1 gd new, finally my TO together with the window contractor and my HB went to point out all the defects not done yet. My ID tiler was there to measure the height of the screeding; making sure everything is in good order. *Heng* they did it correctly. Now pend the window contractor to finish up all the things then i can start renovating liao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hobbes11 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2007 went for tile selection at hafarry today; was so crowded as if they are having open house. Was very satisfied with the selection, spent almost 3 hours in the shop but worth the effort afterall it our own house tml will be meeting the aircon man to discuss on the trucking and to understand more. Considering a sys 3 + sys 2 estimated damage $4400 afterwhich most likely reno goin to start end of this mth, projected date of completion: 2 months. Looking forward to see the outcome.

hobbes11 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2007 went down to my unit to get the air con contract signed. Sigh to my horror, when i got there the next door contractor told me there is no electricity cables to supply electricity into the hse. THen i remembered i read somewhere in the forum that some clowns actualli cut and stole away the cables to sell. CUrrently police case.Sigh now i got to chase the town council ppl to do this rectification otherwise my reno will be delay. I am sure HDB will not extend the permit becos all these issues. Only thing can do now is to hope they can finish the work by fri as they promised to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dun understand sometimes how they work. Now all i can do is to sit and hope that by fri things will get settled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
