welcome to RT, attached your floorplan here WOW 4.7k gone for 11 3D and 1 space planning

bro, i think HDB officer will be more concerned of concealed sockets than water heaters HDB regulations didn't say cannot have 2 water heaters, but did say cannot have concealed wiring housing. I haven't install yet and my electrician also never say anything about it. He knows I have 40Amp in and out (MUP) so he also never say anything about overloaded. Already told him will buy 707 Compact. When I ask him, he say he put 2 sets of wires in my house, each heater runs on separate set of wires. I don't know what he means but he say if one side of the house trip, the other side of the house won't trip. Maybe next time I ask him to show me how to trip one side only 707 Compact is 3kW, 230V, 50/60Hz.AC so shouldn't be an issue. I know who that person is Maybe should have hired your guy to help me do my electrical works Maybe next reno

Day 28 (Electrical)

Day 28 2 men came today but both came in morning only, finished all acid wash of tiles, installation of doorbell, cloths rod holder, toilet paper holder, corner shelf in wc, cutting of ikea kitchen worktop, cutting hole in billy shelf for storage of DB. Total cost for the day's work: $100 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 got back key from the workers, will be using new padlock for obvious reason

you need to check the distance between your bed and your wardrobe. it's too near

I suggest you get a system 3 and a system 2, both non-invertor. Price would cost about $2600 in total. Don't ever pay more than that system 2 (2x 9000BTU): Both FCU in MBR system 3 (3x 9000BTU): 1 joint in living room, 1 joint in guest room 2, 1 standalone in living room essentially, only 1 compressor (MBR) is working at night. if your guest room in used, then the other compressor will run at half capacity. If you switch on both FCUs in living room, your system 3 will run at full capacity and you should not switch on the guest room air con.

welcome to the neighbourhood

do what i do, buy bottom kitchen cabinets from ikea, rest source from outside usually pipes run above (near ceiling) so custom made top cabinets will make more sense.

wow it's been more than 2 months since my previous post. My current cost is about 18k, inclusive of plumbing, electrical, glass works, laminate flooring.

Daiso sells many painting gear. I bought the big 7" roller, and the small 2" roller from them. Also bought a sandpaper holder (to make your wall smooth after painting) They also sell things like wood filler (useful to cover holes in doors)

Huh? Is there a rule that only one of the toilet can install heater only? I am installing in both!

seashell, i still can't contact ms tiang or her office. this contractor is scary and what tiles did you get? can take pic of your tile and the stain? the floor tile of this pic looks like my toilet wall tile but my wall tile is 300x600

by right Sat after 1pm and Sun cannot have noisy work. but if nobody complain, it's all good that's why aircon installation should be done on weekdays looks like you're almost there no pics?

Day 27 2 man came today, finished all grouting for kitchen and common toilet, levelled floor in the rest of the house, painted another layer of door paint (Nippon Aqua Bodelac). Total cost for the day's work: $200 Hacking 50ft walls and clearing of debris: $1000 Accumulated cost for labour: $5400 (including clearing of debris) Accumulated cost for raw materials: $2340.21 Total reno bill as of now: $8740.21 Tomorrow will have both workers to work half day in the morning to flatten the MBR more as it's rather bumpy, and to install various things like my doorbell, laundry pole holder, laundry poles, need to cut my kitchen worktop into 2, and dig out a space in the bookcase for my DB box. I bought some painting gear from Daiso today, and some clear Pylox spray for waterproofing of ikea furniture My painting is almost done, just need to put final coat.

i don't know if it is legal, but i have seen many people box up pipes, and it's not on the "not allowed" list. my shower pipes will be concealed only thing cannot conceal is electrical trunking that's why he's so expensive, he's in the laser age.

use your imagination 3M is referring to the hooks.

Day 26 2 man came today, finished grouting for MBR shower, fixed up rubbish chute, painted main door's aqua sealer, removed loose rubber floor tiles in preparation of levelling tomorrow, electrician continued to do trunking Total cost for the day's work: $200 Hacking 50ft walls and clearing of debris: $1000 Accumulated cost for labour: $5200 (including clearing of debris) Accumulated cost for raw materials: $2340.21 Total reno bill as of now: $8540.21 Grouting for MBR shower done, floor prepared for levelling tomorrow, most painting done, tomorrow to finish grouting in kitchen and common toilet, levelling of floor in MBR, living room and dining area, touch up of painting. Bought my Billy bookcase with black glass door for hiding my DB, SCV, etc for $89, inclusive of delivery (latched onto prior purchase) and installation. PS: on a side note, I accidentally lost a cash voucher at ikea alexandra today. rather disappointed that it can't be replaced by their customer service.

Day 25 2 man came today, painted MBR, finished bathroom floor tiles, skirting for kitchen tiles, curb between kitchen and toilet, electrician continued to do trunking Total cost for the day's work: $200 Hacking 50ft walls and clearing of debris: $1000 Accumulated cost for labour: $5000 (including clearing of debris) Accumulated cost for raw materials: $2340.21 Total reno bill as of now: $8340.21 Tiling works all done.

Finally it's almost done Bought my bottom kitchen cabinets from Ikea today, cost me $1828 for about 12ft of bottom cabinets, inclusive of worktop, 80cm double bowl basin, top drawers and bottom basket drawers for all cabinets. Doors are matt (Applad) white. Free $180 worth of Ikea vouchers from their kitchen promotion. About 10% discount

Use pvc/diffusers from Dama Use 3M, can hold 3kg i saw some chrome coloured ones.

not necessary... my 1st direct plumber tried to charge me higher than a company tiler. my 2nd direct tiler charged lower than them all hope he's as good as my friend said.

In March right? anyway, my 2nd contractor/tiler will be gone for 2 months, be back in March.

Natural Cool allowed 2 trips, no additional costs Glad I went with them. My aircon trunking installer also wanted to run along the floor, but I told him I am not custom making my wardrobe/bed/bedside table and I want them to flush against wall so in the end, we install the trunking at the corner between the ceiling and the wall
