I was told that no one does renovation during the month of August which is the ghost festival. Is it true? Why is it and what will happen?

Its a full renovation starting on the week of the ghost festival. Contractor said they don't care, it depends on the owner. Wouldn't know if contractor didn't mention. I wish he didn't tell me, because now I get conscious!! |

You read it backwards "Yat Yat Yee Fatt Fatt" = ez to get rich ahhaa That does sound auspicous! Good for eclipse-space. Maybe I can commence mine on the 18/8/2011. Zheilwane, I think I will visit your showroom, read a lot of good reviews. I need full range of bathroom and kitchen accessories. Where is Sorento from? Is the price range similar to Rubine? And Fotile, where is this brand from? I don't have a clue about these things...

Both Sorento and Fotile are reliable and durable. U can view the prices in my facebook to do some comparison and for budgeting. However, it would b best if u can drop by my showroom and get some idea on how to reno, then come 2nd time to confirm the items.Zheilwane, I think I will visit your showroom, read a lot of good reviews.

If you believe in FS, select a good date. FS not depend on Ghost month, is nothing to do with Ghost month. If you don't believe, any day is a good day to start.Thanks |

Just to share, this year ghost month is on 14th, not on 13th. Somehow 13th is good day. Try avoid 14th do work after 5pm. Thanks |
