thanks for the info... will try to get those stuff... meanwhile the foul smell is like dead rat smell (my wife smell before in her office)... instead of **** smell...
-
i think i know from where... seems like from the drainage holes in toilets... whenever there is water going in... the smell gets stronger... now i also dunno if my contractor plumber apply silicone seal to the toilet wc or not...
-
hi garion, you mean the silicon sealing at the base of the wc? it's sealed... lordvader, yes at 65x =) after some systematic investigation, current focus is on the water drainage in the toilets (the one that you let water flow into, in bath and wc side) because the stench intensified especially when I bathed or there is water flowing into the drainage... I intend to put bleach/hotwater... will report back with findings...

hi amrasenelya I just bought and delivered my coffee table... from mondi, fitted my black and white living room. Also bought some book shelves and study table from ikea await to see more of your photos!
-
recently I discovered that there is always a very bad stench smell coming from either the guest toilet or the master room toilet. the smell is quite persistent and especially bad at night. any idea? or it is a problem in punggol or even block 65X or 64X? could it be from the toilet piping?

Hi amrasenelya, I'm back. Congrats on your moving in... finally! Your place looks good! my 2 guestrooms are still empty and temp storage area... Your floor has a nice view of the kites! they are really high... directly in front of my living room...
-

-
your reno also done? furniture in? my mbr only do like 1/3 area also cost me $500 seems like this is roughly the amount, quite ex man... yah will post more pic, still busy setting up a livable house...
-
hi amrasenelya, my reno was over and I had moved in since last Sunday! just check with you, how much are you charged for your false ceiling? I just did the foyer area, living room, dining area, bedroom passageway => i was charged a lump sum of $1500 for these... is this reasonable price?
-
finally after some rectifications (thought not the most satisfied especially the kitchen solid top) and 60% of my furniture are in... time to show some before and after photos... well I came away knowing that reno is a tough and tedious process especially when you have to monitor the progress to ensure things are going according to what you envisioned. but human to human communication is always challenging and its not easy to find very skillful and professional contractors and subcontractors... I can go on asking for more rectifications but it may take another few months or minor work, hacking, painting, reasoning, payment etc... is 99% as good as 100%? is getting an ID better than a general contractor? I not sure, but I may try ID the next time, just to know the difference. till then... for you to ponder... Main door entrance walkway... false wall designed by my WTB Left 2 are the before and right 2 are the after reno living and dining areas My tv console, piano black and sleek, after they redelivered a new and correct set to me Top left hand corner is the before and others are the after reno... red and white shelves, grey floor, metallic fridge and splashback Left 2 are the before mbr and right 3 are the after reno mbr

hey, is this cabinet stopper still selling in ikea? why when we asked an ikea staff last week, were told ikea no longer selling?!?!
-
Yes.. alot of frustration, but lucky I talked to the lady at OM Joo Seng personally she then followed up for me. She sounds sincere cos she said herself also disappointed the furniture she sold was delivered wrongly. Her name is Leena and I think she has good service. TV like not very clear and the person said is because of the tv points of my home which is poor quality kind... he said if use Starhub HD point then will be good. true?

there are some hiccups here and there... Rectification Kitchen Table Top: The guys came on Monday 28 Dec to cut off the problematic portion and yesterday came to fix it. I have not seen it yet. Hope it all well now. Guestroom: Monday I found partial of a wall dividing the 2 guestrooms to be problematic, the contractor came down to take a look and advise that maybe the plastering of the wall had came off thus the bulge. options are to get HDB to inspect and do or just ask the contractor to fix it if no time to wait HDB. So the contractor will be hacking of the problem area and fix it up and repaint. should be doing today and tomorrow... sigh. we missed our auspicious day becos of this delay. got to find another day. Delivery: Turbo Hob: Decided to buy a cooker hob and bought Turbo from Citygas since got discount. On last Sat, we waited 4 hours in the afternoon but no one turn up. no one ans the only number we called. Monday, called up the distributor (Happiness), made my blood boiled. they said their people came at afternoon but no one in, so they left a card asking us to reschedule. So I argued with them that they didn't call before coming which was what they promised and 2ndly no one came while we were and 3rdly since when was delivery to be like singpost, leave a card if you are not around... harlow, they can just call if no one open the door. The customer service lady even shouted at me that, no, they will not call one, they don't call they just go there at the time (btw they said 3-7pm, 4 hours expect me to wait at the door front? what if I am in the toilet and they just left a card and go? use that little brain customer service lady). ok after some argument and even shouted at me when they refuse to deliver on the following monday 28th, they asked citygas to call me. ok the friendlier citygas lady at least understood the idiot way of delivery Happiness does. Reluctantly I got the delivery done on Tue 29th 10-12pm. Barang Barang: careful, friendly, organized, efficient, very professional delivery by them (kudos) OM: sent me a wrong / poorest quality tv console. at least after I called, the delivery people came back took a look, took down my complaint and went back. I went down their showroom to confirm that the one I bought is not the one delivered (yellowish and very poor workmanship drawer, drawer no soft close, rusty metal railing when there should not be railing, obvious nail marks below the paint, etc). They delivered a good one next day on 29th noon. Not bad for the efficient replacement after I went down to complain. But again disappointed me for sending me a ****to stuff. AudioHouse: Delayed delivery (3-6pm) sent at 745pm. At least called to info will be late. Friendly guys, fast setup, good explanation. So far so good, 7 days 1-to-1 exchange, any idea how to test the TV is ok? Courts Fridge & WM: Coming today... hopefully all well.

Hi, where can i buy those bluemotion damping hinges?
-
ok, all small rectifications were done up, except now waiting for the new solid top (partial only) yes 23rd liao... we have our bed delivered and we settled it... lucky everything was ready in the MBR by today. all lights up, 1 wall repainted... kitchen glass door up.... yah lilac white for my house... look purplish at nite under the lights... abit er... hmmm why I didnt see cotton white? the repainted wall was chosen bluebell white but turn out bluish instead of greyish thus doesnt match the other purplish walls (when we wanted was greyish feature wall with white)... but bluish feature with purplish just did not look nice according to my WTB... my contractor just laughed and helped us repaint... big furniture are coming in on 28th though may have to delay the fridge to prevent the dust from the solid top work... to be confirmed again... haiz... what a hectic christmas!

hi butterfingerz.. oh comfort design furniture at ubi ave 7... we been there too... they specailized in chairs for alot of commercial... u can almost find any chair there... we may return to get some stuff, have not bought anything from there yet... wow look like I have been to many furniture places... phew...

hi amrasenelya, i'm back after another hectic weekend, i think i drove like 250km over 2 days... ok the kitchen solid top has some major problem as one side was not straight and left slanted gap which is not acceptable... need to retify or even redo that part... haiz... see how my contractor is going to settle that. he's also angry that the solid top people didn't change it and instead sealed it up... painting is 90% done, haiz the place looks purplish under lighting when we chose lilac white for the walls... is there no white that is closing to white but not matex white? some stainless steel stuff to be fixed up, a light to be fixed... I would say the place is 90% completed... I gotten a silver metallic fridge and a white WM (both samsung)... I think the metallic fridge will complement the otherwise overly red/white kitchen... i like my dark grey kitchen tiles too... i think my contractor is going to finish up and wash up today and tomorrow doing some rectification, wed going to install a glass door and a shower screen (broken during dismantling)... so the real handover may not be realised till tue/wed bed is going to come in on 22nd and the rest of big items coming on 28th... we did went to hommage (near my current home), price is good, the boss is friendly, except we are not too sure about the quality. for now i cannot really convince myself on the workmanship yet... but i would recommend anyone to visit there to take a good look, they have most designs currently the market has at an unbeatable price (but the boss will frankly tell u that the workmanship may lose out a bit), then again, some shops in FM and IFC also selling similar stuff, similar average workmanship at a price 100% higher. still finger-crossing good luck!

hihi amrasenelya, oh man you nick is too hard to spell! Yes! the sink will be at the end of the wall and the WM will be beside the sink. fridge will be beside the tall cabinet. originally it was an all white kitchen, but my wife gave me and idea that a feature color tall cabinet will be nice... we decide on red because i read somewhere that red gives the kitchen a more spacious look... well with the hood and hob and WM and fridge all in i hope i will be nice! yes the shelter door was covered by a wall.. nope didn't do any storage since the width of the wall is like very small... did see some coffee table at OM but they are not very convincing for me for now... i will go back and relook...

Some of the photos... poor shots as they were shot using my samsung i780 Dining Hang Lamp Buildin Wardrobe View from living room Kitchen Entrance walkway
-
oh btw... any recommendation for coffee table, shoe rack and curtains?
-
haha yes... because I am to busy that seldom have time to post, and only to visit the reno at night, and now without much lights up yet, cannot really take good picture.... I will let you know the contractor after completion by next week, was told HO on 21st Dec, and I have not gotten the revised quotation yet... condition wise, 5yrs flat, i think is ok, some spoilt here and there, and the previous owner did minimal reno, quite plain... and we also didn't do much, can buy OTR we buy... A kitchen pic i took last nite... in a 7788 status... how the red and white turn out well
-
phew, it's been quite a while and guess what? my reno is seven seven eight eight already... my contractor got my 2 thumbs up with his can do and efficient work... though some parts could be done better with quality, but because of the tight deadline we gave him, we can't really fault him... to have these done within 2 weeks is quite amazing... even with some steps skipping... 09 Dec: official hacking 10 Dec: false ceiling structure & electrical wiring 11 Dec: kitchen & toilet tiling & false ceiling boarding & citygas piping 12 Dec: kitchen & built-in wardrobe carpentry & finishing up tiliing 13 Dec: kitchen & built-in wardrobe carpentry 14 Dec: kitchen & built-in wardrobe carpentry 15 Dec: bomb shelter door false wall carpentry 16 Dec: painting? 17 Dec: painting? 18 Dec: lighting & wares installation? 19 Dec: lighting & wares installation? 20 Dec: touchup? 21 Dec: cleaning polishing? handover key? just to add one... cheap lighting from lighting.com.sg good service... from Light Boutique reasonable price and good service... from GR Link good service but delayed delivery (kaoz!) from universal good service and nice design from OM
