You need a HDB licensed contractor to apply for HDB permit.

Only possible if donot have vanity cabinet, mine cannot do that in the masterbed room, only possible in the common toilet .....

It is about $45 for 3 meter led strip, controller with remote and the power supply included shipping cost. The LED strip is a RGB 5050 type , it can change color through remote control, it create a kind of mood lighting (very similar to the philips mood lighting called "LivingColors Mini LED lamp"). Furthermore, it is dimmable. 5050 means size of the LED (the length = 5.0mm and the width = 5.0mm). I am planning to install it at the back of the TV console, so that it lights up the background of the TV and TV console, I brought a non-waterproof type and the LED is 30LEDs/meter. It is bright enough to create a mood environment as I have tested it. This type of lighting is called indirect lighting so I do not brought 60 LEDs/meter type. 60LEDs/meter is very expensive (it is about 2 time the 30LEDs/meter type). I think 60LEDs/meter is not required because it is secondary lighting and indirect lighting. My primary lighting is the down light and it is direct. For the 30 LEDs/meter, the power consumption is about 7.2W per meter; so for 3 meter, it will be 21.6W (60LEDs/meter will be twice the power consumption). Waterproof type is needed only if you are installing it near the floor or at the kitchen when it will be in contact with water through cleaning or mopping of floors. So for my case it is at the back of the TV console, so it will not come into the contact of water and furthermore the waterpoof type is slightly more expensive. Save money loh so buy the non-waterproof type .... Will post the pictures soon......

It is very easy to maintain, same as maintaining any mirror or glass. With newspapers, it can be easily cleaned. Normally, how long do you clean your mirror in the bathroom?

LED Strip: Recieved the LED strip from Hong Kong yesterday, it is 3 m long and I just tested it and it is working fine. Will be installing it this week..

DIY - TV frame decoration using Swarovski Crystals: Brought some Swarovski crystals from the DIY shop to do TV frame decoration, same as you would do the photo frame decoration. Idea comes from SONY photo frame. Try to come out with something different.... This is the final product, not the best but ok lah ..... I do not have the artistic talent .... Next time will try do better.. Maybe some forumers will do much better with this DIY The DIY flower arrangement is inter-changed with the plant ("iron tree") due to feng sui. That corner is the feng sui location, so cannot put fake flowers at that corner. Will talk about DIY - feng sui next time after I have learnt more ......

I also did a last minute box up for the aircon area, and the cost is only less than $100, I think. You can ask for the quote first before decide.

Your house is nicely done, very nice. Check with you do you change your main door? Where do you get you main door? How much is it? Thanks.

Yes, the more expensive one will have less black line. One way is to ask the contractor to use the more expensive type at the joints or corners. That will save some money.

I have the extra laminate at home, instead of using my extras, they bring their own laminate for the repair. Ask them to cut the used laminate to smaller pieces so that you can use those small pieces for the bases of your furnitures such as table, TV console, etc to prevent any damage of the laminate at the legs of the furnitures.

It is depending on your deco. As for the clock, I have a similar one in white color in my T-blog. Same as Neubie T-blog. My T-blog Neubie T-blog

Nice 3-D design! I guess B is better, it will save some problems in the future as it does not need to change the position of the WC, that is my thinking....

After sales service by Flooroption: Last Sat, doing a DIY in the living room, accidently damage the Pergo laminate flooring with about 2cm diameter hole due to the dropping of the electrical drill....... so unluckily..... Call Cardin on Monday (yesterday) morning to see what he can do about it. Very fast, the site supervisor from Floor Option calls me to arrange a site visit on today morning at 9.30am. At that time, I am willing to pay for the repair as this is not covered by the warranty. According to my wife at home today, the man comes with a piece of laminate flooring and repair it on the spot within 20 minutes. Most important is it is FOC... Excellecent after-sales service from Floor option! Highly recommended. Damaged floor:

Washing Machine: On the Christmas Eve, went down to Everjoint to get a new washing machine, Samsung WF8700. It is a 7.5kg front loading washing machine, the control panel is simple because my CO is not familiar with high tech stuffs. So, no wide graphic LED display. It is vey easy to use with leds showing the settings and press the buttons to toggle the settings. Total damage is $545 included delivery.

Thanks, I have PM you.

I brought it during the sales at the end of Nov, the model is Osaka 3+2 at $799 plus $85 transport but only available in black and brown color then. I saw the advertisement in the newspaper on this sat (25 Dec), it is at $999 but more choice of colors, I guess pay more for more colors to choose from. Hi Aloha85, did you also brought it? How much you pay for it?

Based on the photo, it should be ok to do the recification, I not sure whether you need to increase the base slightly so as the cabinet front part can sit.

I did see one of the project did by my contractor Rick, have a concrete support below the solid top surface for the sink area. On the outside you cannot see any differ as using the wooden cabinet. According to him,the advantage is that it will not rot as there is no wooden ply on the top, bottom and sides except the doors. The ending of the sink ( L shape kitchen) is also protected by concrete before the normal wood laminate ending. I never see any post on this type of design in this forum, maybe there is but I never see it. Only make sure the concrete is slightly lower than the normal height. Actually, the thinkness of the solid surface is about 2 cm I think, so your rectification should look ok.

I could not find it in Singapore so I ordered from UK ebay. See below: ebay remote sockets It cost about $43 included shipping cost. So far, the I have no problem with the usage.

Electrical socket switches with remote control: Brought three socket switches that come with remote control to turn on and off the ac plugs. The remote control is using RF and have a range of 30m. The socket can take up to 1KW output and very suitable for lamps and other small appliances. I use it to control the lamps in the living room and bedrooms. So convenient...for lazy people like me.

I believe the track light can be dimmed if you are using halogen light but it will be all the lights in the track. I see you are using LED light... That explains why...

Kitchen Clock: Guess what I get last weekend? A kichen clock same as neubie. Like the design, it is white color with white LEDs; it shows the temperature and date beside time. Look even more nice when all the light is off. Close up: Demage: About $50 included the AC adapter.
