Projects update

Ah Zheng Shifu has been pretty busy this few weeks, and has taken on a few new projects on his own.

He’s workload is finally starting to pick up after going independent.

Below are 2 recent completed works with short descriptions.

Deck installed via a hidden nail method that Ah Zheng Shifu came up with.

As my company is the timber floor sub contractor for the entire Nova 48+88 project off Balestier Road, we do have some 土地公advantage there in getting deals.

This deck was installed by Ah Zheng Shifu in 3 days, with all the joints and lines matched perfectly with each other. The entire planter box was covered with 5 removable panels to facilitate cleaning. Making the planter area removable does entails additional cost, and Shifu charges for it.

Solid America White Oak floor, installed without plywood underlay

Next up is a American White Oak floor project. This floor was very hard to install as there was no room for a plywood sub floor in the budget. I guess only Ah Zheng Shifu can still pull it off.

The end result was a spectacular floor.

By the way, some thoughts on the pictures. The three pictures above all show the same Oak floor. And to my eyes, their color at site are all the same. However just by tweaking the color balance of my camera, i produced vastly different color of the same floor.

So i would just like to tell everyone, dont look at the color of the timber floor in magazines and go looking for the exact same color. As long as the floor is not stained, the species in question is more important.
