oh ya, do take note of the dimensions of the tap if anyone has intention of getting ftap filter... the diameter of the tap... i bot a osim tap filter for my kitchen tap to purify or filter the water... all the ring sizes cant fit my tap bcos my tap diameter is too small ...

should be shown blue or white ticks at the wc showroom ... if it is not pasted on thw wc, likelihood it is not water efficent... i din check what was mine when we bought, it came with my whole renov package, as such, no power when flushing biz business lor... gotta call the plumber back and adjust to the maximum... personal preference, is zero ticks for wc and 1 tick for taps... too many ticks, wash till pek chek... heard wc oso has warranty one, rem to ask for it...

thanks! u're right... can't stretch legs, we bot bcos of the nice design and that it is pure white! i love it... a headache when it comes to maintenance

my total reno... abt 30 plus... i did a lot of hacking... and changed all doors and ... i love my kitchen and mbr toilet... still trying to figure out how to make my living room and mbr look nicer...

Hi Angteko, thanks for your compliment. I still feel cozy in my bedroom and living room... would be better if i can make it nicer... am considering to have those plasterboards to plaster the hole behind my bed and cover it with wallpaper... I bought my dining set at Sungei Kadut... heehee think abt 700 bucks... i saw the same set selling btwn 900-1300 in some other shops.

Hi Dream 916, i had bad experience in hacking and replacing tiles... there were a few in my living room and master toilet... my contractor was kind enuff to change for me. However, when the tiler hacked/drilled a tile out, the surrounding tiles were affected, my guess is during the drilling, his hands shivered, and the 1) the gaps for the replacement tiles are bigger now 2) during the drilling, some surrounding good tiles were impacted and have hairline cracks ... if your tiles are not seriously damaged, mebbi dun need to change...

Hihi... yea many thanks to my designer Mr J. Tong from Darwin Interior! Overall, he did a fantastic job! As there was a pillar right in the smack of the kitchen, it was so unsightly and he helped to liase with the HDB several times to submit drawings and endorsement. My kitchen looks so much nicer now without that pillar... I almost vomitted blood in talking to the HDB officer who can tell me things like the floor plan you had is wrong etc when my housing got the copy from HDB! Due to our late working hours, he was always ready to meet us even late at night. There were a few occassions when we had discussions till after midnight and he always carry a smiling face... The cleaner stood us up and my hubby and I had to the final cleaning and Mt J. Tong came down and helped with the chemical washing of the house till 1am... Though there were some little hiccups during the entire process, he was always courteous and tried every means to help us... I had some problems with the lamintate flooring, the tiles and the kitchen hinges. He has been helpful and all are solved peaceully and am now waiting to install the 2 hinges that were spoiled. He is very responsible, reliable and his service is remarkably excellent! 3 cheers to J. Tong =) =) =)

renovation is a big headache for a newbie like me... from planning, designing, pricing, purchasing, negotating and cleaning!!! the worst is in choosing a contractor!!! think i have seen more than 10 of them...headache manz... restricted with a tight budget and yet i want my house to look lovely... so happie that renov is completed...i love my kitchen and the rain showers! thanks to my contractor who was always on the ball helping out... however, i regretted telling him there is no need to design my bedroom and the living room console due to budget...my biggest mistake... so planning to enter into the next phase of renov now... to make my bedroom more cosy and to beautify my living room tv console areas... is wallpaper , featured wall a good idea?
