Congrats to your new home .. you have a nice view!

i think it is called wii fit, not fitness

I did think about it .. but I think my contractor don't know how to do. Besides I don't have enough budget because my to-do list keep growing..

wow, 1 switch to 2 lights. So that means I will have 7 switches just for downlights?? Somemore I want to do 2-way switch .. that means times 2 right?

good good, at least your id got subtract some costs ya, as long as it is something that you and your wtb like and can afford, then that is all it matters

Oh I remember a high back fabric sofa we saw at St Louis IMM, the sales person quoted me 2k+ and the extra cover 1k+ But we really like the comfortable chair and still thinking whether to splurge or not. Did you get a better deal? If yes, can share where you bought yours? Wondering if we'll see this in the S&C catalogue or not

Oh, so did you have the anti-slam mechanism in your doors? Since you buy the doors on your own, like that how your contractor charge u har?

wow .. your house is very beautiful and very 'ikea' I really like your kitchen, did you get the ikea folks to install for you or your own contractor?

Looks like most of you just start the reno first, so should be safe. *crossing my fingers* I just use paintbrush to draw the downlights planning (pardon the ugly drawing) The plan is to install L-BOX with 6 downlights in the dining area and also a dining light hanging down from the ceiling. The Living area will have false ceiling with 8 square downlights (2x18W each) and a 54" fan. What do you all think? I have a few questions, hope you all can help: 1) Will the dining be too bright with 6 downlights? 2) For the living area, I wonder if the 54" fan is too big. I am worried that we will be seeing flickering shadows when the fan is on. Also what is a good brand of fan to buy har? I ordered the Crestar 54" from Extreme for 220, but I think still can change since it is not delivered yet. 3) Are 2 switches enough for the 8 downlights in the living area? Or should we split them up further?

I took the lighting pics using my phone cam, but have not uploaded them yet leh .. sorry, will posts once I upload them again We bought the square downlights with 2x18W tube for $22 each, but I think we need to get a few more .. Still undecided about the wardrobe, we also like it. Need to call up king koil to see if we can get a slimmer headboard because the current one is like 20cm! Alternatively, is to split up the divan into 2 single beds with no bedframe. Then we buy a new bed frame for ourselves *headache*

Initially he wanted to start hacking on Tuesday, I say cannot lah since things not even finalise yet. As of last night, he said he will start hacking Thursday

Sorry to hear that he did not make it to your place. When I call him at 7.30pm yesterday, he said he is leaving jurong and coming to our new place. But he only reach 1.5 hours later. So remember to give him buffer of about 1 hour at least hor

Talking about service balcony, my take is to keep it as it is. But my hubby feels that if it is not hacked, then the kitchen is a bit dark and the ventilation not as good. So he wins, because we are hacking lor

So need to compare line by line? So cute one

Ya, that was our intention. But after we went to measure, we found that there is little walking space after putting our bed So now, still thinking of whether to change bedframe or redo the wardrobe!!! *headache*

Wah, like very fast hor. Sounds exciting. So have you started carpentry yet? How many weeks you give him to complete your reno?

Yalor, so fast hor? But we only have about 5 weeks to do reno, so everything must be chop chop. We don't want to delay handing over our current flat to the new owners I don't have his son's number leh, he said he will ask him to type out the quote by today or tomorrow. I think he too busy liow, last night he even ask me to type his quote for him I say I can do it, but may accidentally type all FOC hahaha

Hmm .. so meaning you didn't sign on any official documents? Wah seh, like that really based on trust lor?

Met up with ah soon tonight .. supposed timing is 7-8pm, but i think it is probably 9pm when he showed up with the electrician. Discuss about the items and quote and after a bit of revision, we are all good to go. Also mark out the downlights, electrical points and confirm the position of the TV console and wall feature location So will start hacking on Thurs (if everything goes according to plan) But hor, the english quote is still missing leh, so have not sign officially! Did anyone of you start without signing the actual quote har? He ask me to look at the chinese quote but hor, his writing is too 'long fei feng wu' for me to understand fully hahahaha He mentioned that he is going to Yishun after leaving my place, so hopefully those who are supposed to meet him all managed to

Kitchen Guest Bedroom Study

Finally uploaded some pre-reno pics for your viewing (BEWARE: it is very colourful!!!) Living Room MBR MBR Bath

Thanks for your pm, will drop by the place this weekend. Actually we went Genova because someone recommended us, one or two sets like the rainshower are quite attractive priced. Oh you also went Extreme to buy lights, got pics of your lights? Wonder if we got the same lights ..haha

Oh, this is useful information. Will bear this in mind when i go wc 'shopping' this weekend

Mrspiglet, Notice that you have a service balcony next to your kitchen. Does it comes with a panel of louvre windows that divide the area up? Did you hack the louvre windows and the wall panel below it? Ah soon told me that I cannot hack that panel till it is level becos there is a protuding steel piece. Wonder if yours is the same? So what did you do there?

hihi familyof4, we also meeting ah soon tonight around 7-8 pm, what time is your slot huh?
