Talking about changing the size of my TV console and study table, my contractor will make my study table wider and deeper as well and will redo my TV console. I feel very glad and happy especially since after reading alot of horrible news in the forum that normally the IDs or Contractors will push away and blame the fault of the owner. My contractor even find hairline crack for the WC on he's own and compensate me for that. So at this point of time, i can only comment that Rijal is really responsible and providing good service. Only thing is he is handling a few projects alone and can be quite occupied.

Yep...so better save my $$ on plastering...who knows one day govt siao siao and say "en-bloc"

Thank you for your encouragement, still alot of learning process for me... Next time i can visit ur house when its done? I realise that ours are all from bricks, so house is always crooked here and there n i guess plastering the walls doesn't really straighten it (I didn't do plastering, but a frend was telling me so).

Thanks all for your encouragement....its indeed tough for me since i'm the only one making all decisions alone.....My contractor may not be the best contractor, but is definitely reliable. So far, 2 WC have all cracked and he willingly accept it and will compensate me with new ones. I guess there's always hick up all the way, but having a contractor readily accepting it and changing is very important...My contractor has done that all far.. though new issues crops up, but i'm sure theres always a solution for it. E.g. Wardrobe drop down cabinet is too overly done...he will rectify it by changing the front panel What was done What i wanted Still in negotation. The TV console is too long. I wanted a study table for two actually. For this, he told me it was according to measurement. Have to check whats the agreement liao.... From this, i learnt something, we must always be around during the actual measurement so that we can rectify immediately if there's any measurement which we feel is not in accordance. For me, this is my 1st renovation process. From mistake, i learn my part. I'm quite thin skinned and always feel very bad to trouble my busy contractor...But i guess, its always best to trouble him rather than in the end, mistake is make.

Wah...very fast leh....

Such a big house to renovate will surely be costly hor...

Realised that my house is so well-lighted. Think i spend too much on lightings already. Intend to sell away one of the white light i put for my common room. Anyone interested? $100. Using energy saving bulbs. After downlight bulb spoil, i will buy a lower watts one to save $$.

Its actually tiles. No $$ for marbles lar. But this tile resembles those normally used in hotels.

Finally found a time to see the update on the house: Grilles are up Lights are almost up My light in master bedroom. Havent remove the covering. Also need them to adjust it higher Had a problem with the basin cabinet in my common bathroom. Too big and will be splashed wet during bath. This was initially to be used in MBR, but the plumber was saying too big and i asked for a swop with the one that was intended for common bathroom. Spoke to my ID and he said he will see if this can be fixed in my MBR toilet again once the shower screen in my MBR is up next Tuesday. He said shouldn't be a prob and since measurement was given by him. He got to fix this up right? I called up hoe kee, but it can't be exchanged already since it was already mount on. Now can only pray hard this can go to MBR toilet.

Oh...was it blk 315?

laying laminated flooring is a cheaper way to save cost. Else, got to hack the floor to do tiles will be very costly. U r using glossy laminates? Cos' i think from 3D, its the reflection that also makes the picture nicer. One thing about glossy laminate is leaving alot of fingerprints behind...Other than that, it is nice.

I didn't buy new TV and i guess the old one was without the bracket or the bracket thrown away....

Congrats n hope to see ur renoblog soon.

u also staying @ jurong east? presumably near to where i stay?

Looking forward to having the lightings installed today. BTW, u guys know where i can buy TV brackets to fix the LCD on wall?

ya....dun look....dun look....we shld b glad we have a roof over our heads. at least our house is always much better than those who dun even have tiles on the floor.

Good luck for your renovation. Remember before you wanna confirm her, just check her works.

Nope. Tats y lor...my contractor said not that bad condition no need to do plastering. Also, plastering quite costly. I guess he also wanna save $$ for me bah...

This is something i totally agree. My ID is very forgetful as well. So normally i will just text him. But sometimes i just feel shy to make too much request. I saw some T-blog owner will make requests to tiny tiny things. Too thin skinned to do that, tats y feeel that will always b at losing end.

Ur house seems very spacious.....U going to stay there alone?

Entertainment room / Study room Kohler shower mixer up @ common bathroom Master B/R bathroom Master bedroom. Found this wall abit too dull. Colour is slightly dark and becos my wall is rather patchy, the dark colour makes it even more obvious. Wanna ask my contractor to change. Dunno whether he willing or not.

Hi, i really love your house alot. Mind to pm me your contact and your quote? Also, i love the cubes at your dining table as well. Where did you get them from and is it expensive?

Wah...u already got so many things...efficent also. So mind to share how much are you quoted for the works?

Aircon is finally up. Did a rough inspection yesterday while delivery my Ikea drawers to new house for fitting into the kitchen cabinets. My friend noticed that the false ceiling is not properly done. False ceiling itself is not crooked, but its actually the inside where its of different depth which will cast different length of shadow. Think this will have an impact once the coffer lights are installed. My contractor was saying that becos' the walls are not straight. They are using water level and laser to make sure its straight. But to me, it shouldn't have an impact since its not the ceiling that is not level, but its the vertical inside which is not level. Dunno whether u guys understand what i'm trying to mean or not. He will see it tomorrow and see any rectification can be done or not.

Congrats. ID is usually very important. Mine is quite good as well. At least he is responsive and will also ask worker to change n do things...I think Donny will be very expensive huh...haha
