  1. I am looking for someone to repair my glass door hinge as well. I have taken out the hinge to DIY but can't find an exact match. Have searched all around the island. The holes on similar hinges that I found don't align with the drilled holes. Will be a pain to drill the holes again. Turning out to be quite painful to fix this problem. The glass door itself is super heavy around 40+kg. Anyone knows a handyman who can do this work? Have half a mind to dump the glass door and go for something simple. Only painful to thrown away the 700$ door.
  2. I got my electrician to buy the steel brackets. Cost 20$ per piece.
  3. Managed to set up my study as well. Fortunately the study table and Billy bookracks from Ikea fit in nicely. Rug also from Ikea. The Barcelona chair also fits in well. Thanks Newnyew for that. After all the hassle of reno...now I can just lay back and relax to some good music.
  4. Can understand the idea behind this feature. Noone wants to get stuck in a house on fire..where the lock wont open. But is that safe against some intruder who just heats up the lock with some flame from outside ?
  5. I got all my lights from this shop. Very good service and price. Dont have to waste time going up and down Balestier road looking for best price. Had a defective buld..they came to my home and replaced. Rest all fixtures working fine. Look for Kelvin at their new showroom in Balestier Point.
  6. Which block is yours? Not very far from mine
  7. This house looks better after hacking This will be one big mkeover. Maybe call the old owner for a tea at your house after you renovate it. He will be shocked
  8. Hi yes.. Thats fine. Sorry very busy lately between work and reno. Almost complete now. Some electrical switches to be changed and a leaking WC to be replaced. Will give a detailed report later. Got one photo of living room to share.. Still need to add a lot of stuff...HT system, painting, rug, cushions..
  9. !! Misread your comment. Just saw the photo with bulbs. Will check the T5 option. Sounds good.
  10. Thanks. Yes this would be perfect for evenly lighting up your face!!! But too many bulbs !! Also not quite matching the bathoroom theme !! Will try to post pics tomorrow once they install the vanity surface top. Then can suggest more.
  11. lot of work done since last update ! - Painting finished. - All carpentry works installed. - Lights installed Remaining - Final coat of paint - Ceiling fans - Bathroom accessories - Cleaning up - Floor varnish A bit disappointed with the lights in bathroom. I have all black tiles for the bathroom. There is a ceiling light 2x13W(daylight) and T5(Warm) lights behind the vanity mirror. Light is enough for overall bathroom but not enough on face of someone using the vanity. Problem is that the black tiles dont reflect light and T5s behind the mirror are wasted. Ceiling light also not enough.....the effect of light on face is very harsh. Not the soft warm light I was hoping for. Now not really sure. Will have to get a bigger ceiling light , maybe bigger T5s or maybe a new light on top of vanity mirror which is directed on face.!! Any suggestions from other people with dark bathrooms ??
  12. Thanks for that info. Will post pics tomorrow night after they finish. Very eager to see how the colours turn out. Had a tough time choosing from the Dulux catalogue.
  13. Painting to start today and finish by tomorrow ! Dont they need time for a coat to dry first ? Now have to wait how the colours turn out on the walls. Chosen mostly Light and Space colours.
  14. Yes I bought from them. Order arrived very nicely packed in around 2 weeks time. Just make sure you note what material paper they are using. The normal grade paper is not really that nice. They have special art prints on higher grade paper. Are more expensive but worth it. I bought the tree of life...really very nice. Now just have to get it framed.
  15. Yes that might be possible. Will ask my painter to give that a try.
