Hi Asychanbaby n bykaraane, thank u both for ur best wishes... We r at e end of e tunnel now... Reno is bout 99.9% completed wit one last job to settle which I hope can be done up tomoro.. We r doing the great move tomoro, fri afternoon.. Jus came to bed after e last bit of pack up.. Been a really tiring phase, running to n from our new place monitoring works n deliveries, cleaning up, packing up our stuffs here, finally all seems to be packed n ready to be shifted. Next big task is to unpack n setup e new place tomoro n sat as Sunday is our housewarming event.. So little time so much to do! Haha... But each day we r closer to The Day n are a step ahead with the tasks we are supposed to complete.. Can't wait to sit back n relax, being 8.5mths preggy doesn't give me loads of strength to do heavy manual jobs as well! Haha.. Will definitely take pics of our completed n setup place in e next few days so stay tuned! 😍

Hi bykaraanne, its 1200mm...got it from Adamas at tradehub 21. Its the smallest in length and cost me $510. Actually just last week, i saw another tub, with those sliver legs....just at the next sanitary shop beside adamas. Looks nice and small too...you can try take a look.

I was googling about removing window film...and this guy's video makes it look like a piece of cake. I have no idea if it works....have to go try it out sometime....likely will be after I move in. Coz I got no patience to sit in empty house wait for 2 hours for the water to soak in. Basically steps are : 1. use some light detergent (like dishwashing liquid) and make a very diluted solution with lots of water 2. Put in spray bottle 3. Spray the film thoroughly. The wetter the better 4. Use some kind of plastic (guy in video used bubble wrap, but he says cling wrap or watever plastic will work) to stick to the film area to retain the moisture 5. Let the moisture sit there for at least 2 hours. The longer the better 6. Remove plastic and start tearing off the film 7. In his video,he used a penknife to cut the film to smaller pieces for easier removal. His video says must make sure the blade is stainless steel coz it's 'softer' than glass. I not sure about this, personally might not try. I am afraid of scratching the glass. Viola! Clean window! Here's another video : same principle, but this one doesn't wait at all, simply used a 'glass scraper' to scrape off, even the glue residue. Now where to get glass scrapers? DIY shops?

Don't know how the contractors got this bag to store debris, but my Vietnamese friend says that the bag is formerly used as bag for pig's feed

Home Networking Being the geek, I insist on having this post for the other geeks out there as I understand the frustration when searching for technical information on these forums. Having considered the various options available to use as the backbone of our home network, we have concluded that structured cabling offers the most consistent and reliable performance over wireless and powerline networks. The difference will be best noticed during transfer of large files between 2 systems or during HD media streaming. If you have intentions of laying structured cabling around your home, there is probably no better time then during the renovation as false ceilings and light boxes will help conceal part of the cable trunking. Of course, if you have the budget for it, it is also possible to cut grooves into the wall to totally conceal the cabling. For our home, we plan to have the contractor/ID lay the cables for us with trunking and leave the termination to be done by ourselves. Home Network Plan From the TP (Termination Point) in the distribution box, an optical fibre will be laid to the TV console to allow the ONT (Optical Network Terminal) to be housed in that area. From the ONT, it will be connected to the wireless router in the study using category 6 cable. From there, the wireless router is then connected to the 24-port switch which will act as the central distribution point and provide network connectivity to all the data points around the house. For better cable management, an 8-port patch panel will be used for the living room while a 24-port patch panel (or 2 x 12-port patch panels) will be used for the study as this will reduce the time taken to terminate the cables. Face plates with keystone jacks will only be used for the other 2 bedrooms as they are meant more for future usage.
