xecton!! just saw ur thread. good luck on ur renovation! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
from condo to landed *applause* hehehe

by the way, do make sure that the workers don't stuff anything down your pipes, and make sure they somehow (i dunno how) cover the holes/pipes. As lots of my acquaintances did their renovation only to find out later "here leaking, there clog" because the pipes are all clogged and backed up. The leakage caused was non-stop. Sekejap here sekejap there, until now some don't even know when they would stop.

Thanks!
Check out the pictures below to see how my contractors did it.

An experience contractor will "clog" the holes before doing anything. And only open it up when do tiling installing the floor trap, and WC.

Most important, the Bottom trap, and WC pipe don't interconnect too near it will have lots of problem in future.

What are the problems? Bad smell?

Logically, my ID shouldn't mind me sharing her contact, as it's free ad, but I'll ask her first before doing so.
Will PM you.

Sorry, I saw this photo and I have to ask what are the pipe-looking structure on the ceiling? I assume it was originally covered by plaster ceiling?

Coz my new house has weird marks like water stain/spot and upon seeing that photo, I am suspicious...

That was the outlet for the upstairs' bathroom. And yes, it was covered. Taken off for the renovation.

Your's could very well be the same.
I don't see water stains very often, but I would guess that it would normally be much bigger stain than what I see in your picture. They look like spots.
I'm no expert, so maybe others can chime in.

I hired an ID to manage everything for me. Don't have the time to source and supervise the renovation myself.
I've used her service before and was satisfied with the result. Not perfect, but good.
Anyway, congratulations to you on your new house.

Added on January 3, 2012, 11:39 amShit happened, someone broke into my under renovation house and stole the wirings, the aircon from previous owner (also tore open the compressor for whatever copper he can get inside), uninstalled drainhole cover, and the contractor's table fan.

Biggest problem is I have to redo the wiring.

It happened on Christmas eve.
Damnit Santa, you are supposed to leave gifts, not steal things!!
