Day 29 - (2nd June) Wrought iron gate installed and final payments made !

I called up Ah Hock in the morning but the line was engaged ... Ah Hock returned the call and informed me that the gate would be installed between 2-4pm. The gate was completed and it looked great :) I just need to fix the bracket for the lock to fix it in place ...

At around 8pm, Uncle called me to request for final payment and said that his partner (Bo Geh aka Joseph) will meet me at my place. Reasonable as he had finished up all the required items.

Bo Geh was only able to meet me at around 10.30pm as he was around Jurong after rushing from Jalan Besar. We spoke and I requested that he remove the improvised jack from the stainless steel backing. He did and we saw that there were excess glue from the backing. Bo Geh told me that he will get the workers to scrape off the excess glue and reapply the silicone all round. I also showed him some of the plumbing works that was done where the white cement / silicone was applied "over generously" around the entry/exit points of the pipes. He said that he will get the worker to remove the "generous helping of white cement" and apply some grouting to make it look nicer. He also agreed to do chemical wash for me in the kitchen.

Hope that everything will be completed by this thursday / friday :)

Total Renovation Bill = SGD 11,600 (from $10,800, we added 2 more items)
