D-Day + 1363 : Finalizing carpentry design

A day of many decisions making...alone.
The missus had just went to taiwan with her family while I made a trip to meet Edmund and the delivery guys.

What surprises me was that Edmund had brought along his carpenter for site survey, and I have to decide how and where should the carpentry be done.
Well, some of the things I know I could decide, but there are a few which I need to consult with the missus since our taste differs.

But luckily, am able to finalise most of the stuff and KIV some.
Had some last minute changes too, especially to the study room and Master room.
Most problematic will be the headboard, in which there is not a firm design yet.
Edmund thought we love laminates with floral design so he was kind enough to bring down more for choosing, resulting in a change in the headboard laminates. So now we await Edmund to come out with the new design for the headboard and we are all set to go.

Also, collected the deliveries of Hod and Hood, Oven and Storage heater from Goh Ah Bee and the kitchen sink and tap from Hoe Kee.
Next up will be the basins for the 2 toilets, which we had not purchase.
Got to rush.

Hi Louise,

The carpenter is engaged by my reno contractor Edmund from DX Interior.
Work was fine but need some supervision to minimise any hassle.

I did not closely monitor for defects thus was really troublesome in terms of process to change some of the parts that does not meet my expectation.. If you are the type that is very picky like me, better monitor and check during the carpentry phase and indicate any issue there and then.

Generally my contractor is very responsive and helpful. Solve lots of problem for me. Even now, months after handover, got any issue i just call him and he will settle.
