  1. Poh Joo, look for chen yang for good service call her at 62929375
  2. it's in my signature, details found here
  3. Yah. Your tap is very cheapskate... probably about $50. I got this one (RAF) which I think is quite worth the price, only $120 but very solid, from Italy. I am also moving in next Friday, supposed to be today but various delays.
  4. actually i think you got a steal.. ikea good sinks cost only $300 i was looking at other sinks like duravit, paravil, etc. costs almost $1000 i nearly bought one but my wife disagreed
  5. good flooring initially wanted to get kronotex or pergo but decided to choose robina due to excellent water resistance when my flooring was done, i asked the flooring guy to give me one wastage plank (partial plank) which i soaked (the non-cut side) in water for 2 days. no bloating maybe next time i soak the cut side in water to see how much it can bloat cut side soak water sure to bloat, imho.
  6. Day 41 Sun Sun Glass installed shower glass today (Thursday) Total cost for the day's work: $0 Hacking 50ft walls and clearing of debris: $1000 Accumulated cost for labour: $5500 (including clearing of debris) Accumulated cost for raw materials: $2340.21 Plumbing: $880 (remaining $380) Electrical: $2000 (remaining $500) Shower glassworks: $1050 Total reno bill as of now: $8840.21+880+2000+1050 = $12770.21 subscribed to Mio Home 46.90 per month for 6mbps + mio tv + fixed line, will be installed on next Friday 5 Feb the following is some sharing from my experience with sun sun glass and besglas my personal experience is that besglas quote low before site measurement, but charge higher after site measurement. this doesn't make sense because you already paid deposit based on the low quote but have to pay higher after site measurement since deposit is secured. so to me, it seems like they're baiting with low quote and after you pay deposit, they charge higher due to whatever reasons. i was quoted $x for doing my kitchen door, after site measurement, it became $(x+180). i made noise and they dropped down to $(x+120). sun sun glass email quoted me low but after site measurement quoted me high, but price is negotiable after site measurement as deposit not paid yet. deposit is only paid after site measurement upon confirmation. hence you can still bargain the price down before you pay deposit. for me, i was quoted $y via email for doing my shower area but after site measurement i was quoted $(y+200). after bargain, became $(y+50) then agreed and paid deposit. sun sun glass quoted me lower than besglas for shower area, and besglas quoted me lower than sun sun glass for kitchen so i just ask sun sun glass to do my shower area and besglas to do my kitchen. both sun sun glass and besglas did site measurement at the same time but sun sun glass installed 9 days after, besglas wants me to wait till after CNY.

  8. just updated my eubiq pics on my t-blog appetizer
  9. wow looks like a bargain, ask them for sample pic hope they don't show you bi fold door
  10. left one looks bigger from the pic ps. i updated my eubiq track pics
  11. was informed by minimalis of Hansgrohe promo
  12. to grind and polish floor, they just use a machine. it's fast. to grind and polish skirting, you need a handheld driller, with sanding and smoothing pads. it's slow. would eat too much into their profits
  13. Welcome to RT! Wow you must be rich to approach all those famous IDs with a 60-80k budget. Your place looks pretty new so unless you're having a complete makeover with premium toys, it shouldn't cost that much. Have fun in your reno journey and try not to be a carrot edit:oops that's your previous house, my bad
  14. erm that reno bill of 8840.21 only includes all the hacking, wetworks, walls, plastering, tiling, painting. does not include carpentry (as total items not completely purchased yet), electrical+plumbing (which i already listed separately), glass works (as total pricing not confirmed yet), door works (total pricing not confirmed yet). 8840.21 only includes the hacking by 1st contractor, paying the 2nd contractor for labour cost, raw materials and tiles. the rest of the cost for items purchased you can see in my signature ooo i see. is this for the baby fan or the alpha v6 or both? thanks for the advice!
  15. Day 40 Wednesday skipped tuesday as nothing was done. today hails the arrival of the long awaited eubiq power track (update: uploaded new pics with adaptors) Total cost for the day's work: $0 Hacking 50ft walls and clearing of debris: $1000 Accumulated cost for labour: $5500 (including clearing of debris) Accumulated cost for raw materials: $2340.21 Total reno bill as of now: $8840.21 Plumbing: $880 (remaining $380) Electrical: $2000 (remaining $500) received news that my MBR shower glass will be installed tomorrow! ordered 1x PJ OEM sink from Poh Joo $150 600x460 thinking it can fit into my toilet but it's too big there was a bulge in the middle so it can't fit into my toilet... don't think i can sand it down to fit added PVC bottom trap $2, total $152 (no pic as not installed yet) will install this in MBR, buy already have to use guess this means i have to wait for Crizto to replenish their stock for 590x460 sink. the supplier said it'll come in next week. my plumber will come in on thu or fri. movers will move my furniture on fri morning. ikea RD will come on fri morning too. it'll be crowded on friday hope all things go well no news from besglas yet on the installation. should be next week, if what they promised me initially is true.
  16. bro. postform is much cheaper than solid surface. i hope you got some kind of discount. my ikea postform is only $95 for 8ft. solid surface is at least $75 pfr or $600 for 8ft, 6 times difference in price. as for the doors, i agree with Mickey, clarify it asap.
  17. nowadays the WC's water tank can be high or low. the ideal height should be below shoulder height when seated on the toilet bowl. yes actually bidet length is standard (unless you want to cut cost or spend more). mine is installed higher because i have a pipe that's going up to my heater anyway. if yours is installed higher, it will require more pipe and need another connector. most plumbers try to do the required work with minimal pipe and connectors to maximise profit margin. if you get a shorter pipe, it may not be as easy to use the bidet. better to ask your contractor to raise the starting point and add a nice stop-cock. my cube shaped stop-cock costs $10 from GR Link.
  18. My parents' aircon drainage pipe is elevated, about 2 inch off the ground, just hanging at the wall side. My own house aircon drainage pipe is concealed so can't see it. But there is a tile I can remove to access it. Buy wood putty from Daiso at $2, some painters caulk (dunno the price but it's very useful to seal any form of gaps) and use a wood marker pen (Daiso sells too) to colour it
  19. my house is also cotton white it's actually off-white. slightly beige i think. i chose it to match my flooring. so... why did you choose cotton white?
  20. wah besglas shouldn't use crappy locks... what a waste of a good product
  21. supplier and ID both don't want to bear responsibility, quite common finishing line must be straight straight. ask them use masking tape, don't play punk.
  22. my white v6's had missing parts so it can't be installed. called the company i bought from, said they will call me once agent sends them the parts. hope it'll be soon. my dining area needs ceiling fan as of today, agent doesn't have stock in yet. maybe i should call the agent directly i think it's rather crazy to have to wait 2 months for ceiling fan... as for the chipped glass, i think i can replace it if i bring it to a glass shop to ask them to fabricate another one for me.. might be costly though. no news from Lena about the compensation, she said she'll do something though the following are my functional ceiling fans. white one will have to wait.. it's annoying
  23. ya i know! but i lost my cash voucher and they say don't do replacement of lost cash vouchers dunno why they have serial number if they can't trace it. hope you get them to quote you soon! i think sun sun glass is faster so if you can't wait, get from them. besglas seems a bit slow, many they're too popular or their factory too packed with orders i was told my shower glass from sun sun glass will come in tomorrow! but no news from besglas
  24. fftw, this sounds weird... isn't it worse to have the weight of 2 glass pieces on the wall? anyway i was quoted the following by Sun Sun Glass 1-fixed panel, 0.8m x 2.1m (h) -$225 for 1 pc got them to do my shower room. very reasonable pricing oh, i also wanted to add that i nearly got Design Professional to do my reno, but i decided to DIY instead.
