Anyone know where to find the accessories for Roman blind? I bought it at Nagoya together with the curtain but when I called them to buy only the accessories, they don't sell it.

Reviving this thread in hope of finding recommendations for good contractors in Melaka (responsible/fine worksmanship).

Got burnt by several contractors in Melaka (I can say for sure 70-80% are incompetent).

Just so others will not get burnt I am leaving a list of contact numbers of contractors that are NOT RECOMMENDED.

1) 014-9096459 (goes by the name of ah guang, was my 1st contractor, I was naive and every time he ask for money I gave him even though work progressed very slowly - ran in the end without doing much. Pretty much wanted to scam me from the start).

2) 011-10635599/011-29359739 (goes by the name ah zai, initially was good but slowly he just put 1 worker for show while he himself always MIA - stopped giving money because he kept asking for money even though work is progressing very slowly then in the end like I guessed, he ran. Most probably a gambling addict considering how he kept asking for money).

3) 016-3789175 (goes by the name thomas/ferdinand. Incompetent/lazy/irresponsible/drunkard. What else can I describe this guy. Worse than the earlier two. Took a whole 5 days to hack a 6ft x 3ft wall. Yes you heard that right, a 1 day job took 5 days for them. Came at 12am/1pm and go back at 5pm or don't come at all without notifying us. Hack 1 hour, rest 1 hour, lunch 2 hours. With 1 worker standing beside another looking at how the guy hacks instead of doing other works. Sensed something wrong and stopped his works. He wanted a full 5 days wages (2 workers) for hacking the small wall. Threatened to do something to me if I don't pay).

Seriously though, it can't be that bad right? The quality of contractors in Melaka doh.gif

Anyone who has good contacts please recommend me ya. Thanks.

Don't bother contacting this number. Never picked up calls and never followed up on whatsapp message. Don't waste your time.
