~ $ $ ~ Height of vanity top let me know ya =) MBR Toilet is tabletop mount ...however the idea of leaving a gap behind the basin...is to allow drying opportunity. Moisture + Hard to reach = Mouldy? One of ID also told me to leave enough gap between shower screen and top...so that you can reach across to wipe.

haha this is hilarious. ID no brainer.

I'm staying @ West Coast but HTB @ AMK....I purposely choose Bishan Somehow the trees look greener and the sky looks more blue! Hahaha Yet taste the Romania food...but it was previously Crazy Ang Mo..nice aussie food. Boss sold his house & stall to go back aussie build bungalow. Why am I so clear? I happen to visit his place when I was hunting for units. Keke AJ is located in the newest flats of entire Bishan...Right of Cat High / Before Bishan North. In between 1st and 2nd bustop. And me? I'm facing marymount rd.

Is it better to leave a gap behind the basin or in front or both? btw how tall is the vanity top from floor? + basin?

The bishanites shld exchange notes more often...where to eat, what to buy...etc Seriously, we got sick of Bishan North food already. The best coffeshop of the three - the one with nice kuay chap The no of supermarts and clinics....speechless...so many!!!

From my office in town.....it takes 20mins Bishan! Bus to Bishan North from Bishan MRT Opp - 13, 88, 52, 54 For my case, I have to walk up the hill @ St 24. Sometimes I take 54 and drop at Whitley Sec.

Hmmmm should I really top up for solid surface on the vanity top in MBR Toilet that has shower screen?

Thanks for the note! During shopping, I was already notified by Desmond(Asia Excel) that white can decolorisation. Therefore the newer range are black brass. ^_^

@Fondue Where did you get the chopping board that folds along the countertop. And why you choose to place a wooden board behind the hob instead?

so also....Im vistting on Sat..because Fri they are closed at 5pm wor

Oh...hmm think dealers can help u better with pricing also. Which dealer are you going for?

I also seen the same one in Ikea but it lost the "hold" and slowly weigh itself down.

Just adjusted white balance=) See also this

No la..not buying that ...very CHUNKY chix wing. Carpenter will get the normal ones for me =) Cheaper in case of wear & tear..Hee

The hand-drawn electrical points...haa The laser chalk The correct way of usage: 1) Elevate above actual floor 2) Balance water levels 3) On the laser 4) Use ruler and sample check the laser height across the room This is how I found out the some minor parts have gradient - no biggie but to my dad who used to be a main contractor, he thinks its not the best of course.

Hi Hi The kitchen will be the normal stuffs. For my case, I even have 8x hydraulic lift up system. Not sure any additional cost YET...haha For blum, Henry or Carpenter can get it for you but I choose to source it myself to really understand what I need and buy. This sat I'm all out the get my blum quotation with authorised dealer. Wish me luck >.<" I'm also considering the old tandembox model @ ikea too. BTW where's ur unit @?

Nice wardrobe and the shoe rack w seatie looks brand new! How much did you change/renew the wardrobe? New laminate? I only remember new door...I think?

I bought RB3VSV..Stainless Steel with black brass. I installed the safety valve because I may "miss" hearing boiling stuffs...haaa just in case However I've not tried the knob yet cause the carpentry is 2wks later =) I'll KIV and let you know.

Day 15 HTB and I spent the whole weekend brainstorming to prepare for today. 1) Paint colours <--This is took us 1.5 days to decide OMG 2) Carpentry & Laminates - Kitchen, Wardrobe and MBR Toilet Vanity 3) Electricial Luckily both of us are well informed of things to do, so HTB talked to Henry (main contractor) about colours and tiling QC. Tiling QC Check Henry asked the main tiler boss to come personally to witness the gradient difference. Was told that our bedrooms flooring are of not the same height. We are overlaying with laminted flooring, so we can't alter the old flooring height hence accept the gradient difference. Slight touch up on our blue mosaic in mbr toilet (I lurve my MBR toilet...serious hee) Paint Colours - ICI Living/Dining Hall/Study Room/Common Bedroom - Morning Dew TV Wall - Misty MBR - Daisy White & Mistral Kitchen Wall - White All toilet pipes - Glossy white All door frames & gate - Lily white While HTB was talking to Henry, mua was talking to carpenter about MY kitchen hee Kitchen EDL Laminate - Piano White ABS Triming - Stainless Steel (accidentally picked the most expensive sia! but matches the white cabinets and grey floor) Spectrum Solid Surface - Vanilla (Ice Ice Baby) Layout is the same as drawing except I need some advice on the tall unit from the rest! The original drawing is a tall unit oven opening from countertop height. (Only can allow 2 blum tandembox S2) But I wanted a tall unit with 3 blum tandembox (1x S1 + 2 X S2) then the oven opening. The final measurement based on my small little build is oven opening from 42" height onwards. This will be about my neck level. Pro: I have 3 drawers Con: I MAY have a problem carrying out a hot baking tray? Please give your opinions!!! Thanks!!! Wardrobe 7ft EDL Laminate - White Macre Aluminium Door Frame with frosted glass MBR Toilet Vanity Top My cute little basin is W40cm x D40CM and H6" Vanity top fully laminated with EDL ..Hmm forgotten the code We feeling uncertain about the final height...32" high + 6" basin = 38" high -> too low or too high? Henry suggested high basin to avoid too much bending over basin. For my case, I'm ALWAYS bending now matter what Electrical Our lights are delivered and Darren the cartoon electrician will start this tue (today!). We highlighted difference electricial points and pasted on the wall for him. HTB has to explain a little more in person today. PS: Will upload pictures tonight!!! Upcoming schedule This week: Electrical, KitchenWall Plastering, Plumbing, Flushing of wall recess | Citygas| Source my blum, s/s basket Next week: Aircon, Wall Painting Week after: Carpentry Handover: 20th July!!! Zoom Zoom Zoom Renovation Tip: Owner should progress faster than the speed of renovation so that things will be in place smoother.

Oh another Bishanite! Welcome to the neighbourhood! There wasn't many good units available facing the park when I was hunting then. So happy for you that you're so near to the park! More bishan neighbours coming up!!!! Weeee so happy =)

Day 13 Tiling completed. Personally QC done halfway but the general idea is to check the following: 1) Any hollow tiles 2) Any unsightly tiling 3) Leveling of the floor My dad lent me his Laser Chalk to check the "water leveling" and the straightness of a line. We found some uncommon area (storeroom/room passage) tiled lower or higher - KIV to check if reasonable to accept the variation. The laser chalk is very expensive but pretty useful to check tiling works. The tiler was very surprised at my QC level. *Exert pressure hurhur* Asia Excel also made delivery today and was extremely on time 9:30am. HTB was just making his way over only...hee but me so happy to see my franke sink and rinnai hob/hood. Lights purchased from A.F.Lighting House (329 Balestier Rd) - Service is great!!! Practical proposal ^_^ - 4 x downlights with double tube each (made in europe, very easy to open and change bulb) - 1 x living hall ceiling light with double tube (nothing fancy hee) - 1 x mbr dresser ceiling light with single tube (nothing fancy too) the rest of the lighting points will be recycled. In consideration, LED light for indoor plant area + T5 lights in mbr headboard. KIV pictures ya....HTB and I very busy this weekend because Monday is the BIG DAY to confirm wall colours and ALL CARPENTRY details...OMG K.O.

Cheers! Better late than never ....Hopefully you're in time for HO date. Moving in a rush? Wedding soon? BTW, Thanks for today =) End up HTB and I debate between off white and white wall whole night -.-"

SS Backing looks ok Thanks for letting HTB and I visit your place =) Love your wallpaper!!!!
