Hi @gumbokins ! A bit late but managed to remember to take a photo of how our laundry works with the awning today. (I took a photo of when the awning isn't up but somehow my phone didn't keep it??) That's 5 poles of laundry and the awning covering them. There's enough clearance for the awning to clear the laundry, no issues. The only thing is we can't open that side of our balcony doors when we have hung up the laundry (if they were closed in the beginning, likewise we could have opened them first but then after that we can't close till we take the laundry down). So far the brackets are holding up fine! We don't dare to try with blankets or bedsheets etc but clothes are okay!

Pendant lights with lights off. The rest of the room is being lit by the other set of pendant lights (this was last night so no external lighting). For good measure, this is what my pendant lights look like when switched on (the other side of the room), although I made the photo a little under-exposed otherwise all you see are just flares of light. But it's quite pleasant and soft lighting. We usually only switch on one set of lights. Thinking of actually switching out the bulbs on one set to yellow lights so we can have yellow or white light depending on which set we switch on.

What you mean by layers?

Used the HCL89 from http://hcl89.byethost10.com before, really top notch product, managed to remove all dirty debris from my tiles after the renovation of my new flat, recommended if you want a cheaper solution to acid wash

You seem curiously protective of this interior designer. Here is my attempted post, which for some reason is still not approved yet. Hi fellow homeowners, Creating some awareness based on my experience with this 'interior designer' Matrix Concept. Got my place some time ago, and like most people, I started scouring the interwebs for a reputable/recommended ID.And of course, this forum came up in my search results. From this forum I got in touch with a few IDs, based on how 'hot' they are trending.Well long story short, I settled on this ID. Won't be able to write a chronology of events, but here's the summary:- On pre-selection meetups, portrayed a 'simple' / 'modern' styling, quote "not like the other IDs out there". Pricing was competitive.- Apparently totally 'got' us and our needs.- 3D renders with scaled sizing? Nada. Zilch. Only got a 2D hand-sketched piece of excrement. And we only got this a few weeks after work has started, and after countless requests.- Project management? Hardly. It was I that had to take multiple on-site visits, take photos, and send back to ask 'what is going on here'. Wasn't this one of the fundamental functions of an ID?- Ideas? BS. Concepts proposed were of sub-par quality, uninspired.- Often tried to convince us that some things were not 'necessary'. You might be thinking - hey that's good right, help me save money. But you know what happens in the end? It didn't jive.- Needed to get stuff like furniture, curtains etc? The 'recommendations' and contacts given were in almost all cases, priced higher. Some were even ~35% more.- Need to meet up with the ID? Yeah good luck trying to get his time. And good luck trying to get replies to questions on the same day.- The packaged post-reno cleaning was a disaster. Used a dirty mop, with dirty water, with filthy brooms, and 50% of the place was not wiped down? My son can do a better job. And he did. So how do I rate this experience?Schedule - 6/10Price - 7/10Project Management - 3/10Ideas - 4/10Quality/Workmanship - 7/10Want-to-fire-and-get-a-different-ID - 12/10 Hope this helps.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, however my own post reviewing this ID has not been approved yet. I wonder why (conspiracy theories running wild). I strongly advise against using this ID. Did not have a pleasant experience, half-hearted effort. Perhaps ****ty service due to 'overwhelming' business garnered from this forum. Oh the irony. Don't waste your time with this one, search out for other IDs instead.

Makes the contractor give good customer service by slapping him

Soup like chicken soup?

I don't think kiwi polish will help, maybe makes things worse

Think in terms of grinding

But marble is very pretty

Pardon me but what does etched mean?

Hi stupe, I am sorry to hear that alvin aw unable to help you with your reno and did you book the appointment early with him?.if not then he cannot take in yr reno as he already promise another customers and he is only one man working only. He cannot take 2 reno and mix up both reno right. He need to concentrate on his work. Not like other ID take in as much he or she can but cannot complete the reno and keep delay. As you all can read and hear from the forum and your friends or relative. I think alvin aw have his full responsibility to complete your reno as he promise.
