Hi MamaO The bedroom doors are veneer hollow, each cost $180. Each set comes with lever lock, and magnetic door stopper. A bit regretted for not getting the solid veneer which is $80 more each door. The soundproof is poor for hollow door. Sigh..... Was on very very tight budget, so 'Bo Pian' choosen the hollow one

27 Oct 2012 Curtain finally up ! Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Went to Star Living to buy Dining Table and Chairs. Must be wondering why not buy the dining table and chairs before moving right ? Initially thought of using the existing dining sets of 12 years old, little did we expect the four legs of the table no longer want to "support" the table top after the move. So, decided to buy a new set.... Chosen this table but in the colour of white, with the matching dining chairs in black Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Thank you The Helping Hands Movers ! They helped me in my house moving yesterday, the process was smooth, fast and efficient. It took about 3 hours to move everything from old to new house in 2 trips (1.5 load of truck). Total paid $420 + GST. At first, I was quite worry about they might damage my Osim UDivine massage chair, they have proved me wrong. They were so professional, everything was handled carefully. Thumbs up !

Yes, they the same company. Price range is much higher compared to Chan Huat & lightings.com. Designer Lighting was the first lighting shop we visited, intended to buy lightings for the whole house. Then realized the price is $30 different from Chan Huat for the exactly same toilet lighting that we saw ! So we drop the idea of getting lights from Designer Lighting?

Haha, I was thinking of using string curtain initially. After ID advised string curtain will be outdated in no time and if we decided not to have string curtain anymore, the track will look ugly. So heeded her advice to use wooden door instead, no regrets cause the door really look nice !

Hi MamaO, With the door closed, it will be a little bit dark but I have lights along the passage way. The purpose of this door is not only for looking good but also to block the smell and fume while cooking in the kitchen, as there is no door at the kitchen.

Hi labbithead, My renovation is more extensive. I just share my contactor's contact with humhonge. Anyway, have pm'ed you. Good luck in your searching !

Hi, Pm'ed you.

I am facing the same problem as yours - wall, ceiling and floor all slanted. My kitchen's floor is 5cm higher than the living /dining room. Luckily my contractor help me to level it up without charging extra Too bad no budget for false ceiling or L-Box, so have to close one eye whenever see the uneven alignment of the cabinets.

Hi byion, Have pm you Alex's contact number.

Wow, you mean you paid COV 600k ?

Can check Singapore Expo event, if not wrong, there will be 2 electronics sales this weekend and next weekend.

Hi matrix0405, Thanks for visiting ! Your are right, no ventilation holes seen as normal shoe cabinet. The ventilation is thru upper and lower level from the casement door itself. There is a gap between the door and cabinet.

Went to Harvey Norman Suntec yesterday to change the fridge model from this Uploaded with ImageShack.us to this new model (top up only $100) Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Today - 15 Oct 2012 Wrought Iron Gate installation by Ho Ho Engineering & Renovation Works Comment - Fast and efficient Workmenship - Very Good Engaged Ho Ho Engineering when visited Expo in August. Came back and checked the forum, learnt that lots of negative reviews about this company. Was so worried about their workmenship back then. Today, saw the way they work, very "fast hand fast leg" - the whole process only took them 20 minutes to complete Initially thought the gate will not be steady and secure, surprisingly, it is not !
