You really think in depth for your kitchen reno... I'm impressed... Or maybe it my first home, so I'm still unaware of the pitfalls that may come later... Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas... Now i'm looking forward to see some of the finished product.. :yamseng:

Oh..... I better take note on the opening of the solid surface... I think I will install the sink in another 2 weeks... Lyefam, please post the complete pictures once your solid surface is up!!

I received a sms saying my desktop speaker and living rm sub woofer had arrived from UK and the courier guy already delivered to my office.... :sport-smiley-004: Even though today is not a working day. 1)I rush down to office. 2)Get the guard to open the gate. 3)I switch on the lights and air con. 4)I switch on my PC and Outlook to pretend to check mails. 5)Lastly, I eagerly open up my speakers. They looked so good and I decided to test them on the spot.... :dribble: My music sound so good :dribble: For those who had follow my blog will know I bought a Aktimate Maxi which is the bigger brother of this Mini. I plan to put the maxi in the living room and the mini in the study rm as my desktop speaker. This mini had won quite a number of awards for Best iPod dock/speaker and since I always play from my iPhone, this is the ideal speaker for me. U can check out the spec from the website below. http://www.aktimate.com.au/ http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=47187&view=findpost&p=705959

Thanks Twinkie!!!!

Thanks Twinkie! Will certainly show my wife (we got married yesterday, so she is my wife now :sport-smiley-004: ) Thanks for informing on the adapter, maybe I will be able to find a suitable adapter in sim lim tower. For the six pack, I had gave up after I left army... haa... too much hard work for that. I just watch my weight and exercise regularly now...

Thanks Twinkle! ultrasonic aromatherapy diffusers sound interesting..... Got anything to turn my tummy into 6 packs?? :sport-smiley-004: Haa... I should let my gf know about this... She will love it...

No prob!! Good things are meant to share... Just take note on the shipping. Buy more stuff to bring down the shipping cost....

Oh.. Construction company.. Cool.. Sure hv lots of lobang... Haa.. Get yr supplier to sponser your tiles, laminate, tables, chairs, lights, etc etc!!! Haa...

I totally agreed... For example, Eames lounge chair. I tried OM and feel the angle of backrest is not suitable for me. But when I tried Lush, shiok! I can fall asleep in it.... Another example, Emas Moulded Plastic armchair. I tried OM, Logans, comfort design & Lush and there is no special feeling... But when I tried Picket Rail, it feel solid! Plastic surface is different too. chair more stable and much heavier....

:P Show us leh... Don't hide your 32" sink.... :sport-smiley-004:

Sure! But I think lyefam will be faster cos my kitchen floor not done up yet...

My ID will take care of everything cos I don't hv time to source n monitor. Moreover, if next time anything wrong, I will just call him n he will settle. At least thats wat he promised la... Btw, where your place? Also sunshine?

HI, I am looking for the same type of mirror too!! I google and came to your post. I am looking for one for my dressing table. Something like this. I only came across some in Amazon UK. U got any luck?

Yup. When you select your unit, there is a option to select floor tiles and internal doors. I opt out cos the original HDB doors I don't like. There is a discount of a few thousand if I'm not mistaken.. I think with or without doors don't really affect the reno process. Just that I get to choose my own doors.

Need some help on mirrors. I'm currently looking for mirror for dressing table but i'm not interested in IKEA type mirror. I am looking for 2 types. 1) Mirror that can have lights shinning forward or 2) A plain mirror and I will fix a spot light on top. Anyone got any ideas where I can go see see? Thanks..

I believe water proofing is only for the floor. It is a layer below the tiles that keeps water out. You can drill into any wall except the main beam. It is only whether the air con guys want to do it or not.... Must play hard ball with them... :yamseng:

Tubing from 2nd bedroom (WIW) to common toilet. ID say he will hide the ugly box for me. Tubing into the common toilet and into the master toilet. Drain tube ends here. Tubing in master toilet Tubing at air con ledge.

Today the air con guys come for 1st installation. ID already pre warn me about the air con guys will do the easiest way for tubing. So true. When ID tell the guys to run tubing his way. They keep saying NO. Will hit water pipe. Cannot guarantee this and that. ID say he guarantee. He will repair any pipes that are damaged.... First time see he so firm.... Air con guy L L..... Air con for the study rm. Air con for the WIW Air con for the master bedroom
