  1. oh dear, most of that block units still undergoing reno? Must really be careful. Is the breakin unit the corner one? Felt that unit (in all blocks) a bit away from traffic flow, so a bit less safe. suspecting those conmen who came around to "sell" the gate joints ... hmm
  2. he did recommend, but did not work out so we source our own. For marble he does not want to "bao", I think wastage too high for gas pipes, edmund will be there, so I am sure he knows what to look out for? If not I sure die, so many things to look out for - did you have to instruct installer like when installing aircon trunking? Or Edmund was around? what do you mean sufficient length given below hob? I am having drawers below indeed, so means the pipe must end above the drawer height is it?
  3. not just 明天, but also 明天 de 明天, 明天 de 明天 de 明天, 明天 de 明天 de 明天 de 明天, ...
  4. i pm you lah, don't want them to come after me ... me scary cat ... but to be honest, this guy was ok up to this point - maybe he in a bad mood this morning ??. Our mistake also for not asking for a written quotation at point of negotiation - so that's another lesson for everyone
  5. not yet la, ceiling work not even completed yet. Let you know when it is, if it's not too late for yr reno
  6. Thur, 29/7/2010 Have not posted photos for a while bc lazy to download, but quite alot has happened of late. Today alone, 3 bad things! First, plumber "screwed" into water pipe. But I really cannot blame him, because he already "avoided' the area where the pipe sticker is. HDB should really do more than just anyhow paste the stickers! He has soldered to patch up the hole. Will observe over the next few days. Hope it'll be ok. So warning to everyone - the pipe markings on the wall may not be true indication of where the pipe is truly concealed! Supposed to have marble delivered this Sat, but when I received final amount to pay via sms, price does not tally with what was discussed. Guess what happened? They have a different way to calculate total square feet for tiles! And though he agreed to absorb GST when we were negotiating, he now changed his words and said if absorb GST, company will not be responsible for any defective pieces!!! How can?? We asked that he can us some time to consider, since it was not what we were agreed upon, and guess what he said - that once we leave the shop, this order and any discounts will be considered null, and if we change our mind, will have to re-negotiate! Mei you tian li!! So we have to hunt down for marble all over again Luckily, by some stroke of luck, we found it this afternoon from another shop! And a much nicer one too, albeit a little more costly. So maybe this is a blessing in disguise. But got to redo dry lay, so delivery delay, tiling delay, so means HO delay - more sian! Then, just when all these are settled, the car went haywire. The signal light seem to have a mind of its own, blinking at its own will! Sian again - after 3 such negative events, think good stuff should follow liao ... Joseng, you are so so right - that day, so many things happening at my place, then yesterday and today again no activity! Actually supposed to complete plumbing work but now need to observe first ... but luckily tomorrow ceiling work will continue and should be completed ... tomorrow citigas also installing gas pipes
  7. ok ok everyone all assemble at my place for cookie party ah!
  8. heng ah, never give u my address yet!
  9. my mbr - 4 downlights controlled by 2 switches - 2 above bed, 1 infront wardrobe, 1 at room entrance, L shaped cove lights
  10. hi sukukia yr reno progress like fast forward mode one - first pic show electrical wiring, then next one ceiling fan up already!
  11. how come kerb is right above floor trap? if in future need to do maintenance how? why not build the kerb slightly inner or outer, and have a hole in kerb for water flow from both sides? actually i am facing something similar too
  12. suspense suspense, but shall be eagerly waiting
  13. yup, agree that the "passage" to mbr is a wasted space - can't do anything. So at first we thought of hacking into part of the middle bedroom to do a wardrobe, but decided to save the room for our daughter. yup, that's what I am doing - extend kitchen into foyer - hope it's a right move! aircon trunking - done already, generally quite happy with it
  14. jia you ! I was so excited when I got into the second page too! Wah, but Sam still the champ of champs!
  15. not really alot of difference, really. Went to shanghai, showed them the price list that I got from Blum, they compared with theirs - it's different! And guess what, some items in their list cost more than the one I got! Anyway, they said can give 10%, so I think not really alot to worth the effort - in case get wrong length, parts etc, need to go down to change blah blah blah
  16. wah, my mind is playing tricks liao. Went to search for your blog, cannot find leh - think I mistook someone else for yours. So much for secret agent work ... ha ha so you at fernvale? which block?
  17. ha ha, actually (shh not supposed to say one) but I agent 010, spying on two of you!
  18. it's good to hear that. upgrade add $250 plus GST
  19. hey flamedav you may also eat the cookie I sent to Sam hor ... btw you at fernvale which block ah? I read then forgot, later go check out yr blog again
  20. ok lah, ok lah, cannot find eclair, so treat you to cookie ok ...
  21. hi frezman nice place! I like the idea to extend the rainshower into box up and out again - originally thinking of having one but bc limited by the height, we let go of that idea. But now ... did you get yr blum from shanghai tong lee?
  22. we have decided to leave the kerb hole alone. Did another water flow test, and found that though water does leave the hole, it does not wet the whole area outside as the centre of the floor trap is slightly lower than the rest of floor tiles. Yes, there are 2 traps - one inside and one outside kerb - the flat came like that one. So if you have 2 traps inside and another outside, then must be added on by yr ID.
