So i am suppose to buy those ready made thingy that has comes in a mould on where to put spoon, fork etc? This is not what i want leh... Haiz... Where cani buy this kind of thingy? My drawer very small, only width of a normal door size ~ 450mm.

Alamak, i am looking at your kitchen cabinet. The drawers. How come the top drawer is like shallower. My one also like that. You know why?

Tomorrow Alex and team will be here to install the window grilles and main gate and bifold doors. After this, outstanding jobs left: bedroom and storeroom and main doors installation. kitchen cabinet installation. Not inclusive of rectification of defects and touch up on painting works. Pray... no matter what, i am moving in latest on Sunday. Auspicious date for moving in is either Thursday or Sunday. *** Edited: And also glass sliding door not done.

Just an update on this. Lena Floor Option said that this is orignal Pergo skirting. The ending is like that, this is the capping. If i dun like it slanted, she cant cut it straight for me and seal up the end using putty kind of stuff but is brown in colour. Haiz. I told her i think over it. Today too much thing to handle liao at site. I only have lunch time to settle certain stuffs on site before i rush back to office...

I go to site to take these photos after work just now. My living room ceiling and dining light. Switch on only 4x 2x13W downlight (warm-white): This is cool daylight: I think today is the happiest day so far since i started renovation. I like the lights.

Picture time! My house become war zone again. Together with the delivered cabinets in pieces, veyr messy witht he guys working on the lighting installation. Guestroom, showing the lights, fan and aircon. Except for living room, all my other lights are those cheapo plastic/acrylic type. I like it simple. Those glass kind, look very heavy to be on the ceiling... Masterroom: Wardrobe and bed with the simple headboard design.

Today quite a no. of things happening. Lighting installation. Delivery of dining table set, bed, wardrobes. I got Lena Floor Option on site also together with the installer. Frankly i dunno why i ask her down, seems like a wasted trip to her, but she collected the cheque from me la. Hiccup: They deliver the wrong design for bed headboard. The delivered one is simpler, not so nice. I called to alert Nova. My mum said it is fated for me to get this simple design because due to the simpler design and shape, it is better for me. Fengshui and all those stuff u know! Duh....

jus be a little careful cos the base is shallow. things may drop into the wc...

i guess so, if nt they wun put only 5% for last payment.....

yah i think mine is not a top mount track. Top mount only is not robust enuff n more expensive. Also when u shower, water confirm 'escape' out thru the gap below n yr area outside toilet will be wet after a shower. less u diy something? hw much y mum pay for the alu pole? i oso nearly kana chop carrot for the hooks. $28 per pair...

false ceiling very expensive de.... if do it for whole ceiling...

The shelve above your WC, i had this in my previous house, also installed above WC. Very useful!

Updates... Today the plumber finally came and install the last piece of WC and toilet accessories. I forgot to mark out the toilet roll holder position, so that is left out. So they did not install for me. Haiz... Tomorrow installing lightings.. FINALLY! Wat is a house with no lights? I got to rush down during lunch time from east to west just to tell the electrician the lighting position, orientation etc... then rush back to office again. Tomorrow also my furniture delivery. Contractor also tell me tomorrow they will deliver the cabinets (in pieces) to site tomorrow. Installation will be either on Wed or Thur. I got very fedup with the way they do thngs. Cannot give me a fix date. I dun get it. The more busy they are, the more they need to plan and do scheduling. But they are doing every thing on an ad-hoc basis. Like putting my house on lower priority compared to other jobs.

How bad is it? Take some pics and post it here? Mine also got some areas 'neglected' not painted properly. But my main goal now is to move in on time. After that i will collate alist of rectification work. I am withholdng 5%... think $1000+ only.... If u withhold too much, they may tell u they have no money to buy the raw materials or pay their subcontractors etc and work will cease. Think pay accordingly to the work done.... For my case i know not much hope, but there is some details which i did not say here so far. I will put everthing together into my review after i settle down. The main concern now is to shift in by this weekend..

Hi Pomme, no problem, I can always google it, should be able to get something. But i dunno if i got time to go down. Anyway your info is useful. Maybe yellow pages also have... Thanks!

I bought it from a hardware shop nearby my house. So hand-carry. Bought the bamboo one, under $2 per piece. Super long. I think normal hatchback car u fold down backseat also cannot fit in. Prepare to saw it to required length myself... Those aluminium extendable very expensive, $7+ for one...

Yes, i did my bifold door thru' alex. Actually now i got a little confused on what is a top-hung bifold door. The one i had has a full frame - top, bottom, left and right. But the main sliding mechanism is on top track. Below only has a small piece of thingy to guide the door when sliding so that the door below do not sway when u r operating it. Doing this Wed...

Hi Pomme, My flooring is Pergo, not Supreme. Um... maybe u got a point, i can try contacting Pergo directly but dunno Pergo got local office a not.... gotta check. I thought of seeking compensation is more for the delays of the work and handover, not really about the poor quality of products, so dunno how useful the pictures will be. No problem, i know when it comes to legal issue, not easy to sort things out. So u enjoying your house? I didn't use wall light afterall

Ossify, my window grille and bi-fold doors will be done by Alex - this Wed. Overall he is an accomodating guy. Not bad really. He is recommended. Service is ok. Product wise i have not start using it yet! :-) Price wise.. i think i PM u tonight :-)

I email Lena the pic and she said that the kind of termination as shown in the picture is the end-cap. 'End-cap' not neccessary means there is really a cap-like thing that wraps up the end-point. She also said that all customers skirting are like that including her own house. I have ordered her to go down to site tomorrow afternoon during lunch time to see what can be done. Duhz.....

Decided to hear some comments in here although it may not be the best place to do so: My reno contract is a few pages document. Essentially, it consists only of the various works and the costing. Then at the last page, it only state the payment milestone at various stages. There is only verbal agreement of the handover date to be at 15 Jan 2010. I know verbal agreement is as good as no agreement. The contract did not state house handover date and also did not state the compensation details if there is a delay in handover. In this case, what is the success rate if i seek for compensation for all the delays? In this scenario, what can i do to seek compensaton?

hi, look at how long u intend to stay in this house. If i am u i will change the main door because you look at it day in day out. Plastering.. it is neither here nor there when u plaster half the wall or lower part only etc. If u r staying for long,invest a bit more. If really no money, then things like main door can dun change first because it is straight forward to replace doors. Plastering if u wan better to do it now. Once u moved in with all the furnitures, very troublesome. Hacking also. If u think u will regret not hacking - which will affect your design, better do it now. Few hundreds only. Spend it and forget it. Be happy. Maybe get the hacker contact from Ossify.

Hi Lynnzlg, Pop by yr blog to take a look. Another 3-roomer. Transform it into a 2-bedrooms condo!'

Can you post pic of your laminate flooring? Or the link to the pic in your T-Blog? I have not pay for the laminate flooring yet!

I will write a simple review on this after i settled down. There are in fact a few Contractors under that company, maybe i kanna the incompetent one. Anyway i will provide the review after i settle in. Just came back from site. Moved all barangs barangs from store to new house and also another15 boxes from my rented place. The China guy is good. Anyone needs mover, PM me, i give the contacts. He speaks english also as he has stayed in Singapore for 17 years. You are right! I didnt see any capping like thing terminated at the end. Anyway i have called Lena to find out what other options i have. I have not pay her yet. Are we suppose to take back the surplus (if any) of the planks? Like tiles, we keep the surplus.
