hey reuben, we have the same fridge! mine also white...but yours look really pricey leh! did it come with vouchers etc? i only paid 799 for mine (w/o delivery)..

hey curryqueen, maybe you ought to speak to a few IDs to "tap" their database of ideas. no harm right?

apparently, their prices are high cos the quality of their stuff is really good and lasts forever. i wouldn't pay for it though, at least not for now la..haha! i also like the kitchen roll holder. but my fave still is the shower caddy..i love that we can store bottles upside down and there's also space to put razor and toothbrush!

good luck with the reno! don't forget to update here hor!

Some Updates. Electrical Met up with Jaskel on Tuesday evening to confirm our electrical works. Very knowledgable & easy-going guy..thanks for helping us out, Jaskel. He/his electrician will be down at the house later this morning to remove wires. Yay, we're finally getting a move on! Installation of aircon trunking Big debate on this issue last night with hb & our PM. PM suggested to run trunking now, before plastering is done. Her reasoning was that when they drill holes for the trunking, bits of the wall near the hole may drop off since ours is an old flat. So if we run the trunking after plastering, to touch up the wall might not be as swee. Our take, however is that if we run the trunking now before plastering, the walls behind will be rough if we ever remove the trunking. Plus there's also a feeling of "incomplete-ness". And also certain walls not built yet so if trunking is run now, then later when they build walls - how? Anyway, we're undecided on this. Meeting PM tonight to discuss and make a decision.

i'm also getting lights from china..and some other stuff too..will put up pics soon. cheap cheap..makes me happy! how much are you paying for air freight per kg? actual weight or volumetric weight? the fan we got is 48" i think, can't remember leh but its matt black with one light. got it at a good price from A Lighting. every other shop was pushing the glossy black to me but i really dun like glossy black..heng i persisted for matt black and got it! sounds familiar! haha...our PM also told us the same thing. she thought they already sent it over but they didn't. just keep chasing, you'll get it one. i think they really short of draw-ers cos our PM told us that their draftsman went off to M'sia to get married and hasn't returned to SG but they have a new guy replacing him but as he's new, his drawing may take a while. we were disappointed to see that our drawings didn't show the chosen laminate & counter top after waiting for so long too. when you receive yours, put it up k?

shouldn't be much of a problem la..keep the faith! the thread on creation only had one poster vehemently complaining and the rest were pretty alright reviews. anyway, order liao so just wait and see lor. plus, i doubt can find a company that no one has complained about one.. i got 2 keys to the letter box too! won't be changing them though.. agree with sam - make them pay rent if they extend their stay. don't be too nice, you'll get trampled on!!

i have no idea what time they close leh, left their namecard at home. give them a call and check? seems like we already have two lucky draw winners here on RT, El Nino & Jeffcraze..like v.easy to win hor? zelly, how did u buy your lights from china? online or? 56" fan is kinda big..used for which area?

wahaha, sorry to make u gian.. but $100 is pretty pricey..let us know if u end up buying it k?

oic...ya i also read that thread. just keeping my fingers crossed cos there were some good comments as well. anyway, so far they've been pretty on the ball. will see how..u getting a non-inverter too?

oh you're getting the light shop to install for u ah? i only bought partial lights from them so very little only lor.. do it on the weekends la. or take leave? my full glass swing door for toilet is $380..same price as the half-glass. dun ask me why, maybe the wood is expensive..lol. but like i said, i know their half-glass is pricey and i can get one outside $100 less but then need to go down and talk to people, negotiate here and there, then must coordinate delivery la etc. aiya just let them earn that $100 lor.

can try homefix, i think they sell simplehuman stuff, but not sure if they've got this particular product. if you don't want to go via vpost, can consider this one from amazon instead (they ship internationally for certain products, this included):

wow space looks kinda tight but i'd put the toilet roll holder between the glass wall and the wc. not sure if you have enough space though. or get one of those standing holders la.. From Simple Human nice too!

hey zelly, a lighting never give me free delivery leh..he said my purchase too small..muahaha..so i self-collected. no leh, b&e haven't gave us a est HO date yet. i think due to the 1 mth break from the permit, everybody also nua already. i'm getting something similar but its a half-glass door instead of a full-glass..but at $380..still higher than yours..this price is direct from B&E. i could get it at $280 at Best Industrial but we figured just let them earn and save us the hassle of running down to Best Industrial's showroom. so your price = really good price!

hey sammy, what stage am i in now ah....well, hacking has been completed..next stage would be the tiling of bath and building of new walls lor..my aircon trunking will be in next monday. relax..! don't panic la..enjoy the process..breatheee.. ya i know right! actually hacking already started back in april but had to stop halfway to wait for permit..

did you manage to check out Creation? i also got a quote from the group purchase but still ex leh..so didn't go for it in the end..

Reno Day 34 The new doorway to the common room hacked. Right doorway to be sealed up. More light! The wall between hall & kitchen finally gone. The walls I've tried so hard to visualise gone are now, well, gone! The pathetic 135cm space we've got for our tub. The superduper ugly beams & pipe network in the bathroom. Brilliant work, HDB.

haha sorry to say but i doubt this year's england's year. supersonic speed? not that supersonic la, england. we're already one over month into the reno, thanks to Housing Delay Board. shall look forward to your tblog when you finally start one then.. thanks babe..sounds like a good price. el nino, that was harsh! but the truth's always harsh i guess..lol...

ya agree with baby..might not be so convenient to have the stove opposite the sink. i prefer option 1, better flow IMHO. maybe swap the fridge with the stove, and swap the stove with the sink and cut the long counter so you have more walk-in space. haha hope this isn't too confusing.. L-cabinets aren't too pricey la. like jaskel said, 2 extra ft.

gorgeous transformation, looks really cozy! quite taken with those dining chairs as well. where are they from?

congrats on finally starting reno, sammy! looks like you'll catch up with me soon...

wah so many pictures up over the weekend! but still no show of the s/steel countertop? sorry to hear about the plumbing and spray painting problems..sounds quite daunting to have to deal with..hopefully not all plumbers are like that. good deal you got there for the fridge! same model as mine but yours silver like pinktini's..me + hb actually went to licence 2 play also, but changed our minds while queuing to turn into the expo carpark, the wait was too long and the vision of crowds were enough to put us off..good thing you persisted!

have u guys bought your furniture? didn't see any posts leh. take more pics hor! of the floors, walls and the counter top too, obviously. hehe. you said aircon trunking liao cannot put 120cm blinds, you referring to your bedroom window there?

el nino: wah liao u make me sound v.old leh! Mrs Lilith... and sam will tell u touch wood lor! she must be so eagerly waiting for Monday..i think one of the few people who's actually looking forward for the weekend to be over.

haha u both so cute..i guess reno takes longer than most of us would imagine. before i started our reno, i thought we could move in end of may. what a joke. hey england, long time no see! yes i got my much awaited approval, thanks. yep will definitely put up pics when we visit the house this weekend. heard that all walls that are to be hacked have been hacked. when are you starting your t-blog btw ah? wah, very honoured to be of service to the resident Google.
