Hi always see ur name appearing and heard that u have a colourful hse. Been wanting to see ur hse pics but cant find. Finally gets to see it! Nice place, cheery feeling.

Hello hello !!! Really super white house. Nice! I like the tv wall and of course the long island.

Wah i like the switches. Swee!

Yes we only did 2 sides. As we usually only watch tv in the living room, its bright enough. I also have 2 downlights above the tv area.

Hi feb, these are the pics i took at night. 3 downlights and cove lighting above tv. At the other side of the L-box, 2 downlights, no cove light here.

mine is a L-box, with 3 downlight by 2 downlights, the cove lighting has 4 warm tubes. Ok for us, actually id suggested more but we down cos to save $. My feature wall is piano white, sofa white, marble flooring is white with grey strips. A silverish grey carpet. Maybe with all these light colours so helps in making the living room bright.

Yes the re-wiring is included in the 40k. Dunno hw they run. The amt is ard $3.5k. I installed 32 new light point and 4 ceiling fan. I will take the pics and post 2night.

Hi! Good luck for ur reno. I'm sure u will enjoy the fruits of the labour at the end. My reno is ard $40k. Did whole hse re-wiring and plastering. Not sure is it cheaper to do it this way but it serves the purpose well. At least now i have a big mirror but the master bed room will look smaller in this way. I tried to take pics but the angle too small. Will try again. Where is ur new place?

Hihi! We are supposed to put a painting which has mountain and water (aka san sui painting) by our geomancer. Also that place is the feature wall so cant paint on it.

Living room. (no coffee table cos the more table spaces = more clutter) Entrance to kitchen from main door View from kitchen entrance

Been staying here for almost 7 mths, time flies. Rectification all done, payment all settled. But we still cant find a nice painting to put next to our tv. @february: i just took these photos, dunno where else to take. Let me know if u want anymore pics. Master bedroom (added wall paper) Corner of toilet, metal cabinet with mirror and round basin Toilet bowl + round basin Toilet bowl + shower area

Hi hi!!! Sorry i always just glanced thru the forum. just saw ur msg. Ok i shall take more pics. I dunno my wall tiles code leh, cos we just went to the Soon Bee Huat (Balestier) and select then tell id on the spot. Its the $3-20 range. U meant the toilet bowl area is it wet? As compared to before we have the glass screen, the bowl will be wet. As for now, the area infront the bowl is damp, not wet. At least the bowl and seat is dry.

Lachesis! saw ur hse featured on MySpace in Sunday Times. I recognise ur Buddha on the wall.

i agree, something must be done. Imagine everyday u walk past that area and see the black black line. By then, too late to ask for rectification and u have to live with it.

Nearly cant find my t-blog. Thou my reno is completed, i still come in every other day to silent read the t-blogs. We have been staying in the new place for almost 5 months. However, some things are still hanging up there. Eg like the featured tiles in my kitchen have patches on it, dunno is it due to the acid wash or whatever, the meter outside my house still has no cover (broken during the reno), no door stopper (the magnetic type). We have been getting my id to come fix them up but looks like its taking ages. So far only my 'MRT' track on the newly built wall (to cover the old MBR doorway) has since been covered up, the kitchen grilles holes patched and acid wash in my MBR toilet done. I dun think we are asking too much to settle the rectifications, but these are the things we told our id when we shifted in. Not like 4 months later then informed her. The amt of money we pay is our hard earned $$$!!! She also wants us to settle the payment (which is abt $2k) but my husband insist she completes all rectifications then we pay. Imagine if we had settle full payment, will she still come and settle the rectification?

Wah! got hotel standard leh

Hi, been reading ur blog posts. Poor thing u, take care.

Our budget also went up from 30k to 35k and now the final bill is 42k plus. That is despite us keep cutting stuff. BTW ours is a ID job. In my opinion, if u know the colours and design which u want, go for contractors.

Good job Mr J! Can u please stay in business for the next 10 years so that i can get u to do up my next hse?

Last time i always leave it at the rubbish chute area then the next day it will be gone. I think the town council cleaner took it. Yes i was in sch in sk then back home to amk, still have the smell. Very strong. Held my breath and breathe lesser while i rush home. Also got slight headache.

i used to have a jacuzzi bathtub. In the 10 years i had it, only less than 5 times i use the jacuzzi, less than 10 times i used the bath tub to have soaking bath. Plus got to tediously scrub the walls of the tub. So better think twice abt having a tub.

I must both of u got very handy hands! I like the ikea rack. The block u used to put the knives comes with it?

In my house, the char bos are all afraid of xiao qiang, so left my poor husband. Then my husband dun kill them. He said is very cruel leh, everytime take away lives and tiring to clear up the oily insecticide stains after the battle with xiao qiang. Hence i got a net from Daiso. Everytime we see creepy crawlies, my husband will come marching with the net, catch the bug in it. Either throw down the chute or window.

My id's plumber anyhow drill holes for my shower mixer. It was totally out of place so we rejected it. So they took out and got 2 holes looking at us. Like vampire bite. So id got the tiler to come and take out and replace. Can be done.

Better get ur id to come take a look and change if cant get it away. U wouldn't want to see an unsightly patch for the rest of the days of ur living there.
