looking real cool.

i know you don't like L-Shape, but if you need a sample L-shape to help you with your evaluation, i will open-house my kitchen to you. i think our kitchens are pretty similiar in size.

beer for you when you come visit ok.....

cannot also....my floor tiles are black sadly. doing so will require me to start "operation wash and mop floor". else i get white foot prints. lol.

cannot la....i have to be socially responsible. the shop that sold me the shower panel advise me that it can be due to incorrect water pressure problem. he said if i get plumber to re-connect the water pipes to the panel, and then do some magic (i.e. turn on/off the water at the nearest water point), it will help to normalize the water pressure. truth or myth?

lol....maybe get mr A++ to built a top hung cabinet inside toilet. nice looking, and useful as well. initially, i was thinking about that, thinking of the rule to build as much storage as possible. but i think i overbuilt already. haha.

Hi Pirvan, we have pretty similiar taste in the choice of materials. All the best to your final stretch of the renovations!

i wonder how the new SG LEMON LAW will affect these guys, since they are delivery a brand new custom made product to us. a lot of them will close shop every half year....tsk tsk tsk

you have a Mr. C-- like me....

calm....undisturbed....peaceful...

My display cabinet.... no action figures, no pictures, no fanciful items, just my friends who has weathered through many storms with me.....

can see.....there is no usual BY Zen-ness in the reply.

that problem you raise is not a problem. i did not request upfront, so the tiler did not plan upfront. i only made the switch to citygas after tiling started....so a misstep on my planning. i will fix this as a post enhancement. my list of complaints are : 1) crooked pipe at the joints. when Mr. C-- bends the pipe, he has a extra bending mark, but he proceed to use the "imperfect" pipe, instead of giving me a new one. now when every pipe is joined together, it is more difficult to change. 2) when he connect the water pipe to my MBR shower panel, the water pressure "relieving" was not done properly. now if i turn my shower panel water pressure from 10% - 90%, there will be a loud grinding sound. it is bad in the middle of the night, cos i can hear that even in the carpark. when the water pressure is at 100%, then this sound is gone. 3) criss-crossing pipes. instead of hot/cold running parallet to each other, he has them criss-crossing at the shower. i would assume this is bad planning by Mr.C and he just chin-chai crisscross at the end in order to join to the mixer. 4) he drill holes in the tiles to get the pipes pass, then never covers the holes.

ya...i think so. cos it is free shipping....lol my other stuff from china/hk using comes in EMS, or envelope. 2 weeks tops to arrive. ok la....i wait patiently. the seller already scated, waiting to refund me my money.

small job only la....i presume most plumbers don't even want to take the job. even the lousy ones. see how my contractor say lor...he suppose to get Mr.C to come take a look at it, but still no news from him for a month.

i can buy ingredients. i don't know what you mean by prepare leh....lol. die la...i bought a garlic chopper from ebay. still not received it after a month.

pay money can. provided i know he is Mr. A++

not too bad la...nippon as 2 pages of color choices in the catalog. and the paint shop also has a few colors in stock that is not shown in the catalog.

no problem. i lent you kitchen, i get to eat for free. good deal.

cannot leh....every time i shower, i can see Mr C--.

should i volunteer my kitchen for you gals to do some happypanning? lol. i also recently bought a small one from G, a 28cm one for $25. test test first.....see if can make nasi goreng and pancake.

i happen to have a A++ carpenter, B-- tiler, and a C-- plumber.

taken from a DIY website. Use Lemons and Water To Send Paint Fumes Packing Although there's many eco-friendly paint options on the market these days, that doesn't mean they are always your first choice when it comes to color or price point for the project at hand. The downfall of using more traditional paints are the fumes that come with your newly painted hue. Want to know how to make them go away in a jiffy? Paint fumes will go away on their own, of course, but if you don't want to have them lingering you can get rid of the odor with a simple bucket of water and a handful of lemons. If you don't own a bucket, try using your largest pot for the stove (and change it frequently) and add a few lemon slices inside. Not only will the lemons give you a natural fresh smell, but the water will actually soak up the paint fumes your diy project left behind. Change your water once a day until fumes are gone, but in most single rooms this trick can work almost overnight! Brilliant!

you don't just tell your contractor to fix, and expect a miracle job. take time to discuss with him what are the options opened, and if you can accept them or not. if you want a good repair job that takes time, they may not be able to fix for you in the next few days, cos the carpenters may be booked for the next job.

bring some treats from melaka....they will be well loved by me. lol.
