Still thinking over my ceiling. Really hoping my ID can help me plaster e ceiling.

Lighting: Don't waste your time on finding. Go straight to ligtings.com.sg or KS Lighting. The prices there are lowest so far. KS ligtings will throw in free installation if you buy from them. Don't be ketok by others. Average downlight (Magnetic ballast)- The one that can flicker when u switch on with 2 Bulbs will cost average $25 to $40. Anything more is a ripped off!!! Also best if you buy and the electrician from the same shop. More manageable. But if you ask me, the easiest is from your ID although it will cost you more... why? Any problem, they will solve internally....

Rewired the whole house by Electrician KS lighting on my own rather than through my ID due to cost issues. They helped to ripped the old wires out... Lesson learnt: When they ripped the wire and casing out of your wall and caused a "scar" or holes... DON'T expect them to repair the holes !!! I was told that if they do that, then might as well become painter. They then shifted it to the painter. Then my ID painter shook head, looking at the damage done... Thankfully, my ID wanted to help to fix the holes... through plaster it using cornice plaster.. Notice my ceiling? Chin Jialat!!!! But I still think that it will be value added if electrician fix some holes created in their tour of duty....

I can't imagine I carried these big boxes myself and it can FIT the small car. No wonder they called it Honda FIT.... ( It's my cooker hob, oven and heater)

The Feature Wall: Before and after

Now comes to the interesting part... We are going to make a feature wall made of partition board... Coat it first with powder coat cornice material to flatten it... then I will wallpaper the whole board... Hopefully, it will turn out to be a unique feature wall. In these picts, it is only 3/4 done. The right size supposed to be extended...

Accessories start to come in already...

Now the rewiring of whole house (unexpected budget). We thought still can salvage the wiring. Apparently, cannot. Also I thought for the safety purposes (fire and all), might as well I do it lah... Spending $2.9 k on rewiring. It includes all....

Transition process of the tiling...

The next headache is choosing the electrician....Apparently, we go for KS Lighting... Quote reasonable so far... quite standard.... Let's see how...

I was looking at this room tiling layout. Apparently the whole room tiles went slanted... To my dismay, nearly half the living room tiles were placed slanted. Why? Tilers start from THE SLANTED part of the living Room which caused the whole range to be slanted. Feedbacked to my ID. My ID beared the responsibility. It will be hacked again the very next working day. Tilers got screwed by my ID for not using initiatives while at the same time she has already emailed the way we want it to be... Bottom line: I still got it rectified. My ID responsible for the BOO BOO by the tilers. Case closed. I don't want to ask any further. As long as it is on time.... But that was definitely a big scare for us... Cannot live with slanted tiles all my life.... The Living room layout. Notice the slanted part of the living room? Can u imagine they actualy start tiling from the slanted part? Duh ?

Went to take a look at the tiling. The toilet looks good to me... I personally love the wall tiles... Workmanship also good. The grout seemed to be close to each other... So far so good...

Went to Montella for wallpaper....wah... headache.. so many choices...

Lesson 1: Place very dusty. Try not to bring kids in. Lesson 2: Know your place well. After the hacking session, I can;t even tell where the toilet is! Lesson 3: It's good that you drop by to look at finer details such as electrical points, what to remove etc. Lesson 4: Things may change a bit after hacking. Ideas will flow in. Expect some changes in your design. Lesson 5: Go through with your ID on how you exactly want the tiles to be laid on the floor. Physically bring the tiles to the floor and DOUBLE CONFIRM. Lesson 6: After inspecting, leave ASAP! You don't want neighbours to know that it's you who have been creating all THE NOISE!!! RUN !!!!
