went down to pick laminate with Jay. Took us in total 1.5 hours including paint color. So drained after that. I will keep you guys in suspense about what i am doing with the built in cabinet for the 2 other bedrooms. below are pics for the shoe cabinet in living room and the MBR laminate.

Gas pipe installation todAy. If u recall my 3D there is no tall cabinet on the stove side and so the gas pipe was a problem as it can't go vertically down to the stove cause it will be exposed. Since I want kompacplus as backsplash, this was not an option. In the end we had the pipe go out horizontally into the yard (all these concealed by TOP cabinet) down and back into the kitchen where the stove will be.

Just don't switch on all at once. Think will be cold as Long as u use living room alone.

Thanks fi5hbone. I hope it pays off!

Didn't know there was a restriction to resale. For me was more of saving $. Of course two condensers more ideal.

hi all, nothing much to update, so decided to share my aircon trunking layout. i was advised to do 2 condensers, one for living room and the other for 3 bedrooms. Reason was i wanted to put the living room aircon at the top of the walkway...so ah heng says need power one. Also if I don't use 2 condensers, then i can't on all 4 air-cons at once. Which is actually ok, cause i don't normally on living room air con unless friends come over. Decided to go with 1 condenser to 4 air con. Originally I mapped out the shortest path but was told if i were to squeeze all the gas pipe into one trunk, the trunk is going to be the mother of all trunks, ie. very fat and thick. So the layout was suggested by ah heng and jay, which I am quite happy with. most importantly, the drainage from all air con units goes into my shower alcove and into my shower area without an ugly PVC piper exposed. I think all the trunking will be boxed up next. photos in order: 1) layout 2) middle room 3) air con ledge 4) 1st bedroom 5) masterbed room

Kitchen original entrance has been sealed up today. The alcove structure is complete for both toilets. Original toilet bowl is removed and drilling for trunking complete.

very nice progress 15may!

Hello all cny break is over. This is probably the first time I wish cny is over faster. ah heng started work today at the toilet. Building the shower alcove and v nicely the aircon drainage is hidden in the alcove. His worker still there at 6 plus. Also my concrete lamp is here!! Was very excited at first and impressed with the texture and surface which really looks the same as online. However the final color is not even close to the blue grey I wanted. Was I upset?At first, but then after that Not really. they won't refund me or send me another anyway.I guess grey is still in line with my theme.

Thanks 15may

Yes renovation has started. Hacking of kitchen wall has commenced. ah Heng really pulled it off using laser to cut the tiles before hacking. This is to avoid chipping or damaging tiles at the cut out to save on money and wastage. My pictures can't tell but when I look closeup the tiles really cut as well as they possibly can be cut. Smooth some more. And even better the site was clean and free of debris. Also went down to sin lek to pick out tiles. Sin Lek is not the common hafary or soon beenhuat. Actually I tried those two first but their grey tiles not many selection. Sin Lek is like made for grey lovers. They have all shades of grey, hmm 50 shades? No but seriously they have any shade of grey u can find, except u will be so tempted by the European tiles. Decided on the blue gray one for kitchen and the nice spotty gray one for toilet. Jays choice for the toilet floor.

nice 3d. so brave of you to confirm ID before key collection.

To update, I have bought all the lights i need for my house. 1st was the track light from three cube.com.sg 2nd was my pendant concrete light and now I bought the rest from phylux. All 3 bed rooms will use the same ceiling light AZtech which has the 1W night light option (PIC #1). Quite useful for kids i think. 2nd one is for the two toilets. Very nice when lit up. like a moon. The bigger model for kitchen and service yard. 3rd one is for my corridor walkway. 4th one for my main door entrance. All white. The sales rep from Phylux game me some discount too. Just some comments during my journey of window shopping. I don't understand how those shops along a certain road in Singapore can survive, as their mark up is really v high. In this day and age of taobao, i think its harder to rely on old business models and strategy. Customers are getting very savvy and know how to make the best out of the buck. As to why I didn't consider taobao, not cause I have too much $. It is cause I am scared of the reliability, cable connection issues and so on in the long run. I prefer peace of mind. ok let the pictures talk. I like the simple look of these lights.

Thanks for stopping by!

insani24 came today! looks nice and bright.

i got the concrete lamp from loft light.eu

hello all! Happy new year 2017. anyway we got HDB to do the screed for us and the contractor actually worked on 1st Jan! Thanks Jay as well for going down to discuss on the height and how much more screed is needed on top of the standard 40 mm.Good thing the thunderstorm last night did not affect the screed even though the windows were wide open!

peekaboo hazelnut color

Got the 3D renders back from BPS. Version 2 is really what I like and looked for in a minimalistic theme. And I must thank BPS for changing it together with me. here are the photos.

updated/////////

Yeah, actually I don't know my style too. I only know i want it not cluttered. so I go with minimalistic. haha.

Hi Labuns, I feel we have similar style. Hope everything is going well for you!

which light are u talking about? i wrote where I bought them.

decided to update on some of my buys. bought the white track light from three cubes.com.sg. They carry megaman brand and I am going to put 3 per 1.5 m track. 9 in total. got a small discount from the boss. Since I am not doing any false ceiling, I am eyeing these lights from phylux for the toilets and kitchen. Also the nice cylindrical light for entrance light, hallway light. Haven't bought yet but 90% sure. I also bit the nail and bought the following concrete lamp online. I have searched for such a concrete lamp for v long but I could never find a decent-looking one in Singapore shops. I even went to Taobao to search, but nada. Most of them just looks cheap but are not priced cheap. I hope the one I chose will go nicely with the teak table I showed in my 1st page and cement screed wall as background. Children's room haven't decided what light. Maybe philips? the boss at three cubes showed me one that has a night mode, 1W only. This is quite important especially for young kids who are scared of complete darkness. anyone got good review for this?
