Excuses excuses, I must transfer this over to renotalk with photos, easier to visualise.
Buddha also got fire, from the way she's defending them, it makes me sick. It's fine to defend if it's justifiable, else just reflect back on self as "no standard"
1. washer base too small (washer depth 550 mininum)
Ans : 600 is our standard, so that there's 25 in front and 25 behind.
Counter : Well, obviously I don't have any allowance in front, and my washer is falling off the edge.
2. Cabinets eat into fridge's base.
Ans : That's the way, to cover the gap.
3. Cooker Hood loopsided.
Ans. Err errr..
Ctr : Err wat? er somemore??? Obvious wrong.
4. Ugly chamfering of granite table
Ans : It's like that one la
Ctr : My fren's chamfer is done much nice isn't it? See picture?
5. Grouting, wrong color
Ans : I did tell them.
Ctr : They didn't listen to you, you didn't bother to rectify either.
6. Granite and glass backing didn't match in length.
Ans : Eh, didn't see this last time.
Ctr : You sure?? Well, it's still here, your work, I didn't shrink the granite.
7. 3D Planning
Ans : We choose tiles first then we plan.
Ctr : That's like crap first then eat, of course you decide colors first then go choose tiles right??
Ans : no ...
8. Cheapo looking white pipings/tubes for basin.
Ans : The chrome ones will tarnish and rust, then got complains, white one no problem.
Ctr : Err, not because they are cheap?
9. Slanted off balance drilling.
Ans : Err.
Ctr : You were there, I pointed it out to you, you were expecting me to just accept it, I have to face this mistake everyday, what kind of nonsense standard is that?
10. Carpentry material thickness.
Ans : We use the same thickness for body, doors and tabletop, if you want thicker, it will be more expensive.
Ctr : Showed her pictures of all the good carpentry, including ikea's, they charge the same rates/ft, but they give this kind of standard, you how to fight?
11. Wood beneath laminates exposed in some carpentry.
Ans : it's like that one, we can't color it black, in case knock, there will be a dent, can see the inside.
Ctr : What nonsense was that, how come the other pieces were all painted and some are not??
12. 2 different laminates joined together, there's a gap in between and a groove.
Ans : because of the difference in height of the laminate.
Ctr : Serious? how do you explain this other gapless one here then? (I will supply a pic in renotalk)
13. silver abs trimmings, black insides, grey insides.
Ans : All these need to pay extra one leh.
Ctr : I saw my fren's quote, it was the same amount! there were fanciful stuff like metal strips, dark mirrors, silver abs trimmings, colored laminates inside. SAME PRICE LA!
14. Cheap door handle, it's worth $6.90 only !
Ans : It came from the shop that does the doors leh, they said $20.
Ctr : ya, right.
15. The V Groove.
Ans : Hmmmm. ahhhhh. mmmmm.
Ctr : FAIL
16. Carpentry cabinet too short, should reach the ceiling, was it measured wrongly ?
Ans : nonnonooooo.
Ctr : I have evidence, wrong measurements is their forte! (picture in renotalk
These are some of the highlights of the showdown the other day.
