indeed. thanks for bringing sanity back

haha, you are mostly right but my aim is not to make money hence i can charge $500 to concentrate on a house.

don't worry euro and us housing prices already free-fallen. ours did also but that was last year we may see it in the near future too.

that is a major headache. have to basically redo reno. rather do it right one time. anyway, the difference is only an hour or so. material cost only few tens of dollars too.

this pattern is not just found in reno, it's also observed in the rise and fall of civilizations and the recent rise and fall of the financial markets, and perhaps even the rise and fall of mankind most contractors have various sub-cons so if one can't work, the other will. so sometimes, workmanship by the same contractor can vary between projects.

No problem Hope we can continue to have the passion to provide the best for our clients

i give free advise and free 3d sketch drawing too. i don't charge for those.

bro, you trying to learn how to do tiling? I know someone who needs tilers. PM me if you want a job good info but the clementi one was a flop, owner decided not to reno. i never said you charge for the pictures some do 2, some do 3. don't know of anyone who do 1. my standard is 3 layer and another layer where the joints are. you insist also no point because you won't be there when they do it. $500

Yah all the wood made the place look so dark and feel so warm. It's all gone now Wall between toilets can be hacked like Goobii's but I rather have 2 separate ones You didn't like which beam? They all look normal to me. Or do you mean the wooden arch covering the beam? I thought you didn't like the price haha Haiz, do what I did, camouflage them

wow. that's a nasty email. if window is not installed properly, don't pay for it

it's so brown

no, i never said jaskel's charges are premium. what i mean is that my charges are too minimal if you scan through all the blogs here, you'll see it

if you want "live updates", i can't maintain my rates liao. i will have to charge jaskel's price i have one client at the moment, just hacked finish. i wonder if anybody knows who my client is yet? mm so as to create the space between individual tiles for you to put grouting. actually the function is to allow the tile adhesive to dry. dry = strong. then after dry, you put grout to cover the gaps grout = fine powder, usually similar colour to the tile

my aircon schematic plan is somewhere in this t-blog anyway, it runs above my bed's headboard, above my mirror wardrobe and through to the living room. You will see the aircon trunking between the 2 aircon FCU in my living room. picture is somewhere in my t-blog too so light bouncing off top of wardrobe is a bad idea it will show aircon trunkings only. also will cause more shadows since light is above fan. and to be honest, i am very practical so if the light doesn't serve any practical purpose, i won't use it waste of electricity and $ if you can't find the pics, you can always come over to my place and have a look

My fridge and w/m I got from Centrepoint Harvey Norman, went up to a group of salespeople chatting at the corner and tell them I want this and this and this is my price, waited about 10min for them to call to check for prices, before going to pay. But this was after I did a LOT of research on the lowest possible price on the 2 items I want So basically, any Harvey Norman should be able to give you the best price if you know how to ask for it. My aircon I just went to Natural Cool, gave the salesperson my floorplan, and got the cheapest aircon that fits my requirements. Not much space to bargain, but I did get some freebies Sad thing was that their installation team accidentally cracked one of my tile but that was fixed. I got further discounts off my final payment as a sign of goodwill.

welcome hope you enjoy your floor as much as i do mine

eat healthy pls or go to a coffee shop

they are spacers for the grouting

But flame has its disadvantages: 1. safety concern 2. cooking equipment turns black 3. health concern 4. more oil vapours produced leading to higher maintenance 5. makes your kitchen feel warm 6. not portable most pots can be used for induction nowadays, even claypots

Is your storage cabinet full height? Personally, I generate to-scale drawings from client's floor plan. Otherwise, it's very deceptive and expectations may be disappointed. No point trying to make their room look big so I can squeeze in more things in order to have bigger profit. 4. that's a washbasin, not a dressing table

The bed is too near the wardrobe. It seems that you have only 40cm of walking space. That is too cramped. You need at least 60cm. Mine is 80cm, rather comfortable It also does not match your floorplan, if your wardrobe is on the left, your windows will be covered. If you flip it, it makes more sense. The washbasin looks rather far from the toilet. Hmm, either the picture is wrong or you have another walkway behind your wardrobe. Did you hack the wall between MBR and toilet? I think it would be clearer if you can upload your spaceplan I think the foyer isn't a good idea as it is very cramped. the passage space looks 80cm wide. if you use a full height wall to cover it, it will make the place look dark. If you really need to have a foyer, have you considered half height wall with the rest frosted glass or translucent acrylic panel? Or even better, full height frosted glass. I would suggest not to have a foyer. If you want privacy, just close the door As for your kitchen, it would be good if your tile lines follow-through from the floor to the skirting. Do also check the width between the kitchen sink and your tall cabinet if there is enough space to walk through. 3D pictures are often deceptive

wow you use Jiff to scrub floor? i only use it to clean extrememly stained pots
