Val> Sent you my reno contract liao you can compare from there
Wah everyone is on the reno-ing...
Mine is at the final stage of reno le... now changing the door according to the FSM advise... the construction can only start end of the month and i think the final outcome we can expect is a door that look like Doraemon's REN YI MEN... with the frame very visible...
My ceiling is still leaking!!! And HDB says they will come and look at it today.. everytime they only come and look then go off.. wonder how i can press them to do smething about it... otherwise how to put sofa there?
And also guys, please remind your ID workers not to throw anything into the drainage hole in the toilets.. I have read horror stories of bathrooms flooded before pple move in and mine is also like that!
My HB put his hand in and dug out debris that are like 4 squares on a chocolate bar.. Tiles somemore! I was so angry man...
