Hi yoyo!
Hee.. Maybe cuz we made Yeak promise that he'll handover to us latest by 20th Mar bah.
Chk with u, do ur intend to do frosted glass toilet door? I think jesper asked me about this, whether there's a gap btw the door and wall & pple can peep through. If yes, I've took pics of the sealed up gap to show u guys.
Let me know if it's jesper who asked me abt this k? (getting old liao.. starting to forget things
)

mrs piglet... ya.. the carpenters come bringing all the boxes (the cupboards) and doors and just put them together like lego. So it was very fast. But they took some time customising everything at teh factory.
Plumber come after tiling before carpentry.. cos carpenter has to make sure the kitchen sink pipes are done before they put the cabinets. BUT mine all came on the same day. Plumbers, carpenters, electricians, window people, painter, plasterer...

pinkpetter: wah.. where's my plumber then?... *sob*. I still dun understand why they polishing my floor today when everything not up yet. Later my polished floor all dirty again.
roamca: gd to see u here!! My reno is moving very very slowly. Although i'm not in a rush, but i'm tired of going up everyday. Not very fun to shuffle between 2 houses!
Thks for the compliments! All the wall colors are chosen by hub, w the exception of my lollipop rm. I still think the evening sun makes it too fierce. Show us some pics of ur house leh!

Roamca! We missed u! Hee.. paiseh about the delay for ur place. My side all complete liao. Today/tml cleaning. So the workers should be at ur place rushing urs liao.
Hee, thanks thanks. I tink Yeak was very patient with me when I told him what we wanted for our house. And he gave good suggestions & saved us some $ as well!
mrspiglet: our movers will be our frens
. We'll be checking for defects tml. Hopefully got min no. of defects. Yeak will be coming back on 23/24th to open a hole in our false wall for the tv cables. So I believe he'll do all defects then bah. Too bad our timeline rather rush, if nt i'll prefer to finish the defects then shift in. Sure got lots of dust/smell after doing the defects.

mrs piglet,
oh, Yeak polished my 2nd lvl first b4 the carpentry. After carpentry & all the dust, it's still nice & shiny. So rest assured that ur floor will be fine
Moreover, it's better to polish b4 carpentry. They will pour lots of water on the floor to polish the place. So if carpentry comes first, the water will wet ur carpentry and spoil them.

Wah, just few hours from last night, and we created one archive! Nice to see you here too roamca. hahah.
I envy all your colourful walls and decoration! Mine were all white, or a shade of light grey/light brown with minimal decoration.
Can't wait for renotalk to resume so that I can continue my blogging. My ID's meeting me today for the show down. I was going to show her the blog thread, but it's gone (I smell a conspiracy theory here. haha)
No blog. no stopping me either. I made her some powerpoint slides instead.
I got a latest problem, please help me see if there's a gap between your aircon and your wall, is it atrociously big? Like you can almost stick your thumb into the gap?

@angel81, roamca, mrspiglet
I've posted a picture, the gap was substantial last time and it looks even wider now. -_-
I will choose some bold color next time, at least on one wall. Supposed to meet her yesterday, but she didn't confirm the night before and I couldn't get her. She called me at 11+, I was already out, so changed to today.
Showdown in a hour's time, I wish I have like some video recording. hahhhahaaa. then feed it live to youtube.

angel: ya, the one who does all the water and toilet thingy. Cos i dunno when they r coming (at which stage of reno), but hub just told me they confirm will be going down tmr. So i'll need to pass all the position to let them know exactly where i want my shower/bidet spray to be.
Did u rembr to write "do not use" for the MBR toilet WC?
lawry: ur aircon looks dangerous. I must go home later n check on the aircon too. But i dun recall i saw such a big gap.
Gd luck for ur showdown. MUST WIN!!

Wao lawry, it does look like a pretty big gap. Hope that everyting will be fine about ur showdown.
mrspiglet, mine came quite afew times leh. But the main stuff like fixing the wc and sinks were done on the day my stuff were delivered. I told Yeak when my stuff will b delivered, and he got his worker to come down on the day itself to fix them. My wc, 2-way taps and the basin tat was fixed to the wall, all can use on that day liao.
Haha, I got bring my marker, but forgot to bring paper and masking tap. *blur me* So in the end just closed an eye loh. Just hope tat Yeak's workers will clean everything!

heehee... tks for the compliments mrspiglet..
actually the online store is run by my friends, that's why they are using my photo to advertise on their website. the good news.. they are offering 10% discount to friends! so just PM me for the discount code if you are keen to order anything from them (cos i'm not sure if my post would be removed for doing this....)
anyway, good things must share... cheers!

Wah... this thread is moving too fast. Cannot catch up, its like 10 t-blogs in one. Too bad the posting of pics not as nice. But then again, maybe becos renotalk too many pics, so always crash!
Lawry - aircon gap seems big, but is it installed by the aircon provider or ur id? Typically is installed by aircon provider right?

Ok, the showdown lasted for 2 hours.
My ID's nice and all smiles at the door, "long time no see." I got her a cup of my prized matcha, used to give her gyokuro last time. Whoever enters my place is a guest, everyone gets a proper drink. Even the gas deliveryman, that's my house practice.
Lead her into my studyroom, sit thru 100+ photos of defects, incompletes, inferior parts used, etc.
As expected, she came up with almost 100+ excuses to match every photo. But I pre-emp that, I arranged my photos in an "entrapment" manner, flashed them to her one by one.
When shown the first defect photo.
- "It's like that, it's supposed to be like that, all like that."
So I showed her the second photo where it's done right.
- "So earlier one was right and this is "wrong"?
Then I asked her about her personal standard on "perfection" I showed her the horde of obviously screwed areas, a case of low standard or too lazy to rectify or act blur?
She was quite speechless and sheepish, especially when I compared other good workmanship with Weiken's. Took her around my place for a tour, asked her opinion on how nice those rubbish workmanship were. And she told me it's standard Weiken fare, all the same.
If that's the case, I asked if the photos of my house is in their portfolio, was it even good enough to be on it? Was she proud that it's her team's project.
She taichi to her boss, said he's the one chasing for the last payment. Told her I will forward those pictures to her, she can use them as a bargaining chip on my behalf. If the conclusion is unsatisfactory, I will personally go thru the entire presentation with him.
If he's not embarassed by his men's work and insist somemore, I will host a free web portfolio of my house for him under Weiken Project, I'll try to get Google to list my site first if anyone searches for Weiken.
So far,
