k0k0: ya, it includes abs trimmings. the exposed edges are smooth smooth one. As for the soft closing, i think ikea is using Blum right? The brand that ah soon's carpenter use is irex, i googled and found that its some korean brand. if not smooth, just tell the carpenter to chge. one of my drawers is going 3rd round of rectification.
My house is just a simple house, nothing fanciful leh. Hope they others that r coming dun set their expectations too high!
angel: ya, i think it does sound like ah soon clients' gathering. I kept telling him just now tt got pple wanna view, can he handover b4 sat not? heheh! u wanna come along?
gaku: have emailed u!
pinkpetter: yeah yeah! can see u again! must take photo this time. just sms when u coming over. from ur house no direct bus leh, gotta walk in, quite far. Dun fall sick under the hot sun ah!
evelyn: no prob. just come anytime b4 5pm ok? after 5 i'll be going off liao..

mrspiglet,
Thanks for confirming that the cabinet got abs trimmings. Ikea has their own system, not blum's.
I told my hubby about the gathering at your place and he says maybe we can drop by leh. If you don't mind, pls pm me your address and time when you are home on sat. I will give you my hp #?
Angel,
I got Yeak's quote already, looks not bad though it is more expensive. Does his cabinet also come with abs trimming and soft-closing? I need to go and visit some 'showflat' to see his workmanship

Hi koko - yupz, u can ask for soft closing for his drawers. he gave mi and rondy FOC. duno abt roamca though.
And yes, his cabinets come with abs trimming too. Just let him know that u like to visit some of the places he did up, and he'll arrange for u.
He's a very nice guy, so far, no regrets signing with him.

Pinkpetter: yes! pple do die from heatstroke! better be careful leh... i also went on mc for heatstroke last wk, headache+nauseous for the whole wk! must drink more water!
oh no, talking abt that, i dun have a fridge in my house and i cant provide cold drinks for all of u coming!
angel: no worries. Next time we can have mini gatherings to visit everyone's house. haha!
jovia/k0k0: can u pm me instead? sorry ah, cos if i send u it wun reflect in my inbox and i already lost track of who's coming, who's not. I'll be at my place from 3-5pm.
familyof4: i think he's carpentry is a mixture of both chipwood and plywood. fyi, i was surprise that CD using chipwood despite their carpentry 'sounded' solid.
Anyway, talking abt the carpentry, to be fair to the carpenter, i think he's pretty responsible when dealing with ah soon's client. maybe becos he kena scolded by ah soon for his worker's job, but its understandable that as a boss.. sometimes u have no time and energy to supervise every single worker.
He was at my place whole of Tues aftn making sure everything is checked, last night reach ard 7pm(!!) to fix up the problems n when we found new problems, he's also willing to rectify. Sometimes i feel so paiseh that Ah soon is screaming at him so badly for something that was beyond his control.
Anyway, my problems were not the super major problems. just some minor defects and chipped parts here n there.

Hi Peiling. I tried to send you a pm but you disabled your PM. maybe you try putting your email here.

Hi Peiling. I've emailed you Ah Soon's contact. But I dun have Mr Yeak's.
Hi Pet,
Just got keys to our 5 room resale flat on 3 Apr at Punggol. Need to overhaul 2 toilets and kitchen. Also need to build a feature wall to wall-mount TV and also a console. Lastly, need to build a full-height L-shaped cabinet in the empty guest room and change the doors to the MBR wardrobe. Can you PM me Ah Soon's contact?
I have a question. When using a contractor for renovation, we will need to come up with the designs for him to execute or he'd be able to give us design ideas as well?
Seriously considering using a contractor now becos the IDs we met so far are v average only and quotes are high.
Thanks.

Hiyee. I PMed the both of you.
Grace, since you have most of the ideas in mind you just have to relate your ideas to him. As for your carpentry just draw the layout on your floorplan and show him. He will know what to do.
If you have something special you want to do with your feature wall, pictures will help. He will be able to give design ideas and advice but not without your input.
Ah Soon is quite experienced and he will give you advice.
WARNING to the both of you though, he's super busy and WILL fly your aeroplane... if you arrange to meet up with him, please call him 1 hour before to ensure he will turn up.

Hi Guys, I am new here.
Just want to find out if anyone of you had purchased from or had any designer lighting shops to recommend? I had been to Lumiere and like some of the lightings there but would like to make some comparision before commiting.
BTW, what is the est cost of lightings for a 5 room??

hi hi annie. It depends on what kind of lights you are asking about. If you construct a false ceiling and buy PLC/downlights then your lightings will cost less. Probably $500-$600? mostly downlights + some hanging lights.
But if yours is like my house with all hanging lights and no L-box/false ceilings.. then it'll probably go up to $900- $1200? haha
But if you're going to splurge on designer lighting.. then the sky's the limit.

wah... hazy... want cheap and good quality.. it's not easy you know... and... everyone have varying standards of quality. Liddat I'm also afraid to recommend you. To be honest. haha
DEAR ALL,
AH SOON LOST SOME OF HIS QUOTATIONS today (20/04/09),
can those who are still chasing Ah Soon for quotations please call him and confirm if he just lost your quotations? 213 Yishun's quotation is confirmed lost.
On another note, wah~! I'm surprised Ah Soon got soooo many jobs out from my posts in renotalk - and it has even transpired through to singaporebrides!
Hmm... seems we've not being looking at renovation threads for a long time.. :s
