If you don't mind DIY i think IKEA also has some shelves that are pretty sturdy too... got a few shelves for my mum's bomb shelter and was pretty quick & easy

If I wanna try to grow simple herbs like mint, basil, parsley etc.. is that doable with hydro culture, especially if I'm starting off with....seeds?

Hi Shanabb, when you did the corridor window films, did they happen to mention what to do if you want to remove them in the future? 'Cos our place also has the same films on our corridor windows, but we wanna remove them for more light source... or else dark dark...

love the toilet lightning and the cement bench!

By the way, is that e garbage chute behind the kitchen wall? How old's the unit? So old school hee...

Congrats Vio~Nice layout, very spacious.. good idea to take down the wall between e balcony & living room hehe... it'll be a nice area for family & friends gathering

So cool your roof! can put a hammock there and snooze during stormy days hehe...

Kitchen getting a face lift .. think we'll need to buy Kopi & Teh Tarik next time Our main door.. i have to get to know the 'cute teddy bear's name

More pics... couldn't resist hehe... so far they're pretty efficient... a good chunk of the hacking is done by e end of Day 1... (sooner they finish, sooner they can collect rest of the payment? hehehee) Work tools.. Common bathroom

Work has officially begun today... there goes the kitchen The debris currently @ the lift lobby area... nerve wrecking watching them...

*dusting the laptop* finally...... it has begun~ 2nd appointment was last Wednesday 29 July 2009 and it felt a little....'weird'... like is this really happening...are we really gonna stat paying town council SGD60 every month, and *gasp*..do housework~?? The previous owners were really cute (and fashionably late - arrived half hour late).. they handed over their keys in a pink plastic bag with a Hello Kitty keychain hehe After that, it was a mad rush to our home (OUR....) to quickly carry out the rituals as we wanted to 'kick start' the renovation before the 7th month.... a word of 'praise' to the missus on her excellent piece of work in 'mosaic-ing' my face in the pic Apologies to anyone if I've unknowingly offended you with the ritual pic My...i mean.. OUR Franke Hob+hood+sink+tap set hehe

*high 5*!!! finally... someone to relate to haha.. was starting to feel a little left out hehe... so you guys have confirmed with him? Shopped for all ya accessories yet? we're gonna be dropping by again this weekend... we've been smsing him, bugging him, asking tons of questions on the materials etc... think he's beginning to lose some hair haha... So where r ya located at?

hee tks Pink, i actually just called Goh Ah Bee yesterday too, and a few others.. apparently La Germania pretty much stopped bringing in their ovens... guess will have to shop around for the Bosch or Brandt ovens.. Haven come across *spam though... maybe will drop a call.. thanks!!

Hihi, Hope the threads still alive; does anyone has any experience or comments on using Chengai Wood for their bathroom (wet area)? Though i understand that Chengai wood is suitable for outdoor usage, waterproof... however still a concern as the toilet/wet area is an enclosed area... damp & wet...so not too sure how will the chengai wood last under such conditions...

Hi Leen, fyi - checked with a few shops, apparently La Germania has stopped bringing in their ovens... they weren't very patient in telling me more (and started to cross sell other brands of ovens) Any chance you have an opinion on Bosch ovens - HBN331E2J vs HBN430551J.....? 'Cos I'm not too comfortable getting Cuizion / EF as I can't seem to get much feedback on their quality..

Nothing juicy or exciting to update We're basically working with the ID on the final 3D, materials etc... getting keys on 29th July, so I guess the really nail-biting updates will come in Aug din want to bore everyone with the teeny weeny little details Since ya showing such 'concern' , any comments or feedback on Chengai wood & White horse tiles? Also, don't suppose anyone knows where i can find La Germania ovens? Can't seem to find one.... 'cos Brandt, Franke ovens are kinda beyond our budget...and the other brands of ovens that keep popping up are EF and Cuizino..

Hi Leen, For F669D5X oven, the functions seems to be able to serve me well for baking (conventional top bottom element), pizzas (bottom with fan), sponge cakes etc (fan only), roasting / quiche (top & bottom w fan) or would this be better using the Fan Grill? So would you agree if i wanted to do some roasting etc, Fan grill first, towards the end, switch to Inner Grill for that crisp?

Oops.. just realized the pic on ya laptop aint Fantastic 4.. but Superman haha

F4 fan eh very nice hob ~

Thanks a bunch! yeap, definitely keeping a lookout, since still some before our iceberg will be complete..

no la haha... 'cos for the fridge and washer, we found this shop in Jurong West (through recommendation of MIL) for the E411T is going for $1040, cheaper than what most shops are charging, and same goes for the Bosch UAE16060 washer @ $758 though only 800rpm... *shrugs*... Researching on the washer giving me a splitting headache... Furniture Mall...hmmm yea huh... duno why I never thought of going there... hehe, I was also tempted to get the Samsung 6 series during the IT fair... think last weekend Best Denki was selling 42 Samsung 6 or 5 series @ $1539 (around that range).. was in the papers... w/o the library function thingy... 46'... hmmmm *drools*.... i like~ hmmm settle as in decided on Franke package? Pretty much... everywhere is giving the same package price, so we're gonna get it thru ID's supplier... hopefully we'll be able to squeeze something out from them Casa Italy... actually I haven't... never did quite step into Casa Italy..probably cos I always see it advertising so the mentality is they're out to overcharge me hehe... 'cai tou'.... will force myself to go in this weekend.. but i really like this one from Objet (saw it from Cher's Tblog chat).. but don't seem to have it in L shape Heritage... hmmm okie dokie thanks for the tip! .....& you just reminded me that we still gotta check out WC arghhzz... *pull out hair*

I believe Asia Excel is selling it; happened to chance by it when I was there snopping around.. also there's this Jurong West shop (below hdb block) that carries it too. To my surprise that shop carries loads of brands - Franke, Brandt, LaGermania, EF etc... Haven't had the chance to check out the price though.. will let you know once I've got the info eh

Sure did.... within 1 day from royal franco - Poh Joo - asia axcel - extreme lightning - Ba Ku Teh - then to IMM's asia excel (no odea what for lol, backside itchy) and Ho Kee (if i got the name right) what did ya get for ya aircon BD? You sure stay up late eh...

...... wow can't imagine how i'll react when they are carrying out the hacking for my place.. i'll be breaking out in cold sweat hehe Very nice & square though, expected end july? that's pretty fast man.. do we get to visit?

Lucky you.... mine's not even started yet 2nd appt's 29th July.... probably will only be ready by mid Oct? But we've already started our window shopping.... settled on Franke Hob+Hood+Sink+Tap package (same as BD & PD)........ and that's all we've covered hee We're considering; Dunlopillo mattress La Germania oven F&P fridge E411T WM still at a lost - Bosch / Electrolux / Brandt Sofa - still searching but i like this one from Sofalab and Objet living Bedframe - looking for a low platform w/o bedhead... any recommendations? Storage heater - Ariston vs Joven TV - Samsung vs LG (likely LG) Aircon - Clueless too haha.. Mitsubisi Heavy Industry? but came across some feedbacks that the parts spoil easily..
