Met with some hiccups

The kitchen cabinets were set up and I loved the colours. The carpenter will be coming to fix up the tap, sink, hood and hob next week. Flooring for the rooms were also done but I wasn't particularly pleased with the uneven laminate and skirting which my ID commented was due to the lousy workmanship of the cement screeding by HDB. Nevertheless, the colour he chose for our laminate was great. It goes well with our concept and different from the traditional wood colour. Our glass panels for the WIW was done as well, although they took back the door cos it was of wrong measurement according to them. They have also started working on our feature wall for the living room and building up the platform for our display cabinets. The guy who will be doing our curtains came over and we spent some time choosing the curtains for each room.

Some imperfections we spotted:

1.) A dent in the false ceiling of the walkway. (probably done by the laminate guys when they moved the planks in)
rectified on 29/08
2.) A deep cut across my study room door. (probably done by the same bunch of culprits) rectified on 13/09
3.) Some parts of the WIW glass panels were not sealed. rectified on 18/08
4.) A dent on the false wall of the glass panel. rectified on 29/08
5.) Unevenness between the skirting and floor for the laminates of all rooms. (cause by cement screeding?) covered on 15/08
6.) Wood for the platform not cut properly. (accordingly to allow for heat expansion) covered on 15/08
7.) Some tiles were hollow at the sides, while one was hollow in the centre. More yet to be inspected.rectified on 29/08
8.) Glass piece of feature wall not aligned. rectified on 07/08
9.) Wrong storage heater installed.
rectified on 13/08
