Been a user of the c600 for less than a year. Not recommended. Tripped once and had to dismantle the cover to reset it. There are 2 heating elements inside but now one of the heater not working, water is not hot at all. So hard to arrange for technician. Seems like only 1 uncle is doing it. No point having 5yrs warrantee. Hot water supply should be fuss free after installation.

I'm aiming at R-S37SYPS too. Hong Liang gave a better price than best denki but I think no cc installment.

Some pics taken from digital camera instead of iphone Small MBR that will fit a king size bed and 6ft wardrobe Naked chadelier in MBR

a bench that can hold some shoes below?

Anyone know where i can find one other than Ikea?

Actually, I personally find that their pricing is rather high. But I still end up buying a "L" shape fabric sofa and a dining table set from them for ard 3.7k where we could easily get a better deal at cellini or somewhere else But so far, I am quite satisfied with the purchases as we couldn't find any replica in the market after shopping for months. Only time will test the quality and durability of their products. It is all on your personal opinion.

I had a folding door at the kitchen entrance lor. Now my fridge and washing machine is limited to 70cm wide or depth. Otherwise cannot move into the kitchen. Should not have fix the folding door 1st.. haiz..

Ya, i think a lot of units have weird opening direction.

Raised platform at MBR, selected laminate for the flooring End result

Kah Huat textile at Joo Chiat Complex. They have a nice showroom. Dunno if it is pricey, slightly lesser than 1.2k for the curtains and blinds. Lazy and tired to get another quote..

There was a stupid gap from the door frame to the ceiling beam where the aircon trunking was. Dunno why HDB design it this way So it was recommended that we cover it up.

Updates: This is the selected material for our curtains. 100% black out MBR Living Common room using blinds, 70% black out iirc.

Curtains gonna be done this week. Posting some before pictures. Living room Common room MBR

MBR Running aircon trunking below beam Covered up Basic toilet shower screen

CutieCat, just send you pm. eudora, thanks! will try to upload more when i go back to snap some pics.

Basic Kitchen

My contractor says there are worse cases than mine. Seems like he is lying?

There are some small black spots in my new white colour kitchen solid surface. Is this normal?

Whining summary on contractor As both of us are working, we only had weekends to check on the renovation progress. The contractor never monitor progress of our reno, only visit the unit once a week in the morning if there were works done for the week. Poor workmanship on all the things his workers had done. Tell him things to rectify but nothing is done until last few weeks before handover. Delay handover for more than 1 month. Contractor no show during rectification, we had to tell his workers what is wrong. Sometimes his workers no show also. Can you imagine how pissed off we are waiting every weekend in the house. Contractor money good to earn hur? Just make telephone calls to arrange workers. Rectify about 2 times already and still ongoing. We are still holding onto the last payment. Everytime his worker came sure create some mess again. Issues "C" shape kitchen: kitchen already so small he still propose "C" shape. Luckily I tell him we only want L shape. 6ft tv console/feature wall: installed already and we realised there is no space for our dinning table. Wife called him immediately and scold him because he assure us there will be sufficient space. He still wanna charge us for rectifying it?!? It's like telling us to pay for his mistake, crap. In the end no charge. Living room false ceiling: We bought downlights suggested by him. The downlights he suggested have glass transparent frame. The workers did a bad job cutting the holes for the downlight, we could see the badly cut holes made by them through the transparent frame. Feedback to him and took at least 2 weeks to get someone to rectify it. Rectify once by his workers, still badly done. He called up the lighting shop to get the workers to rectify, tell us he got to repatch the cornice and wanna charge us again, crap rite? In the end no charge, lighting shop workers did a better job, but his painter screw it up as he needed remove the downlight abit before he can repaint the cornice. Now still waiting for rectification. Installed dining light wrongly, shifted the point 2 times before the electrician get it right. Cleaning: Told us the house will be cleaned by one of the weekend as we had arranged for the delivery of our furniture. Thursday call to remind him and he assure us. Saturday morning, we reach our house and saw that it is not clean up at all. Call him up immediately, he say send someone down to rectify. We had to clean up part of the living room ourselves to make room to place some of the furniures for the 1st delivery of the day. 2nd delivery guy had to wait for 1 hour before contractor and his guys came as there was too much dust in the house and we had nothing to sweep the floor with. Contractor came with a broom and ask his workers to do the job. Reason for the house not clean up: his worker put him aeroplane. If he had bothered to check whether work is done, would this had happen? crap no. 3 Rectifying poor workmanship: We had to wait for his workers to come. Isn't he suppose to be doing the job? As we were eager to get our house done, we did not bother about this. Some of his workers also put us aeroplane, no show. How nice. That's all I will whine for now.

Passage way to MBR Orignally Added partition for wardrobe,raise platform for MBR, false ceiling at passage way and passage way lighting Iphone camera effect on passage way lighting Zoom into the MBR, tinted mirror at side of partition wall, can see raised platform, sliding wardrobe from Lumeira

i think they are different products. 1 offer pole system another offer customized wardrobe system right? I got mine from Lumeira, the selling point for me was the 10yr warranty for the sliding door. Otherwise the customization should be the same except closetrobe offers more laminates for partitions? not so sure about this..

Floorplan: Not done by actual designer, but this is quite similar. MBR did not do "L" shape wardrobe, normal 6ft only. Kitchen did not do "C" shape cabinets, only "L" shape. Nothing except paintworks in bedroom 2.

Work has been almost completed so decided to blog this experience to share with fellow forum readers. Our 1st attempt on renovation, read up a lot in the forum, but sign up with unknown contractor due to sales pitch. Our 1st hdb is a tiny 3 room, but with high ceiling (approx 3m) as we got the last floor. What we did: MBR Platform with laminate flooring Full height head board with tinted mirrors at the sides "L" shape partition wall for 6ft wardrobe Wallpaper for back of partition wall 6ft by 10ft False ceiling with side cast lights Living Tv console and feature wall 4ft wide with tinted mirror 1ft by 4ft False ceiling with side cast and cornice for whole living area and passage way Toilets (MBR + Common) 2 Shower screen with cement base Kitchen Approx 20ft with cement base Top and bottom cabinets and solid surface table top Installed cooker hood n hob (rewire for vitroceramic hob) All electrical points inclusive in package. Installed 6 downlights for living area Installed 4 downlights for MBR Lost count of all side cast lights, but it is for MBR and Living area, approx 16T5? Installed chandelier in MBR, dining table light, passage way light, common room light, light for 2 toilets and service, and lastly kitchen. Standard Paintworks but we choose only 2 colours. Damage: low 16k Comments and PMs are welcomed.

Same guy. But he has been helpful so far. How much did u req to reduce to?

Delivery on time and very early. But i dun really have the time to eyeball all the details as my house is still in a mess. Just a simple check and all wrap back to the plastic. The delivery guys were kind enough to wait and did not show any signs of frustration because when they deliver, my house was not cleaned up yet! All the paper covers were still on the floor. My ID rushed down and did a simple clean and sweep.
