    WOw.....! Wished I had an ID like yours. My ID was the sort that dragged and submitted no drawings. I had to supervise everything myself.... on the hindside, we learned a lot and did a reno blog to share our experience

    Love how you did the toilets! We converted our toilets in the opposite direction... We removed the glass shower screen to increase the toilet space. See our toilet blog here

    hi we chose glass splashback a balance between maintenance and asethic. stainless steel will be more durable in terms of impact, but we did not want our kitchen to look like an industrial kitchen. Glass has a nice touch of elegance, easier to clean than ss, but is weak against impact. see how it looks like here.

    hi retchlow, from my limited understanding, most new models has an anti-wobbling mechanism achieved by an base frame that allows the fan to hang vertically no matter what the ceiling flatness. see the ceiling fan installation sequence here the other possibility that causes wobbling is if the ceiling fan is hanging far away from the base plate.

    hi all, i have been a contractor... most IDs will always propose cove and downlights cos they can then get you to pay for 1. the false ceiling works 2. multiple lighting points for down lights and cove lights (which typically cost $40 per point excluding the lights) Plus they will markup over the above. with regards to operating cost, more light points x wattage per point x $ per watt hr = monthly electrical bills. For lighting, use simple single ceiling point to save on reno cost and choose energy saving type ( LED or at least CFT) This was how we did our reno lighting For climate control, use air con combined with a ceiling fan to achieve a good cost to performance ratio. See how much you can utility bill save

    hi agrudb, we do not have a specific ceiling light brand to recommend, but can share how to look out for a good quality led ceiling light. See our detail at our blog In case you want to know the brand we bought, it is here

    We did our reno in 2009. seems like prices have moved up quite a little. Good way to reduce cost is to remove the false ceiling ( which will reduce the number of lighting points) read the details on our blog

    hi mamapanda, from my own reno, if you can try to avoid doing a false ceiling or L box lights. See our blog for the detailed explanation here. As for choosing quality LED ceiling lights, we have experienced the good and the bad. ask for double drivers, at least 1.5 year warranty, choose a thick cover (at least 1.5mm), ask for stainless steel hinges. for a detailed explanation with photos, check our our blog.
