According to the indicator on the dryer's panel, 2hrs for cardboard dry. but i think ours got a moisture monitoring sensor to cut short the cycle when it's dry enough but yup, takes a while to run but dryer cum washer I heard will spoilt easier. not sure if that is true.

Johnny from Plush Living was the designer for my new place @ Dakota. He has done a good job for us with the TV feature wall, console, and the false ceiling. We appreciate he helped us complete the renovation for the 3 items + painting within short period of 2 weeks.

One thing different I would have done was to let Zenterra take care of the installation of even the pendant lights we got from other shops, since most shops out source their installation. The one I got was very late and not very well prepared. We were lucky Zenterra was there to help pick up the slack.

No leh. Did not have such experience. So far so good. Was quite happy with the noise level and heat level it generate around the laundry area. But may need to review usage after seeing the pub bill

Wife likes the copper brown organza curtain a lot We got them and all our curtains from MGL Curtain Every good things we heard about them on this forum was true. Joey attended to us and was very patient and provided us with very useful information, even before we decided to go with them I was a bit concern about matching the curtains with our deco since we can only show her the colors we agreed with our ID from a paint catalog. But Joey was able to give us a few good recommendations based on our preferred design We also compared their quotes with another recommended shop and we find MGL quotes more competitive.

The day view

We get all our down lights and cove lights from Zenterra. Their lights are not the cheapest, but competitive. However the light installation is free because we engaged them to do our electrical wiring, and that saved a lot. They were very professional and gave us some advice on lights placement where we needs it. Was a lifesaver since we know very little of what we need. They have very good reviews in this forum, and I highly recommend them

Moved in for almost a month now and I have been putting off doing this. I wanted to say that I have been busy, but the truth is that my time was stolen by Procrastination. First of all, the finished product The living room The Dining

I was quite happy with the product and its installation. But was a little concern the measurement I gave did not cater enough to put the peg that hold up the mirror Not sure how if it turn out too be too wide Did hit a glitch during installation due to the material my wardrobe was built in but a workaround was quickly implemented. So yes, they were quite professional. I too did not do any quote comparison and there was no bargaining So not sure if I over paid.

Ya lor. We are thinking maybe can minimize damage if we get a good carpenter. *sigh* Otherwise maybe just open an eye, close an eye and settle with what we have.

Renovation is coming to an end and we are at the verge of moving in soon. Alot of packing and alot of things to update and docu down. But before that... Wifey wanted to relaminate the kitchen but we heard it Is not cheap. Any tips or advise on this? or anybody got use a good carpenter before.

I only installed it last week and we have not moved in yet. But it is working well after install.

we actually brought a handheld trolley with us. they were not heavy. just cumbersome to carry. We walked to Plaza Pelangi and caught a cab from there to JB Sentral. Remember to ask if he is running on meter. Should cost around RM$10. Took 170 after Malaysia custom and took a cab from Kranji. Most challenging part of the journey was the bus ride, due to the bulky purchase.

Thanks mrmerry. Well if cannot change situation, change mindset ; )

If you need full length mirror for your wardrobe (like we do), can consider this http://www.framesandglass.com/mirrors.html Ordered three 38 x 160 x 0.3 cm mirrors for $98 per piece (our door was 40cm wide btw) Include delivery and installation Their shop is near Boon Keng Mrt and my workplace. So was very convenient for me to drop by and pay deposit They also answer sms queries quite promptly We may even get tempered glass from them (for our coffee table top). 90 x 60cm for $72, but need additional $40 for delivery. So guess we will cash and carry instead.

Was quite happy with the wood from Ban Heng. ordered four 96.5 x 34 x 0.9 cm for $7.50 per piece. both side laminated white Decide how thick you want your plank. I din and the carpenter was slightly pissed that I wasted his time trying to decide (which is true). Since I'm only doing 4 pieces, I could have picked it up within the hour. But was rushing back to work, so collected only the next day. Don't forget to pick up trimmings and pegs to hold up the board in the cabinet Another tip maybe to order a slightly narrower board in case it doesn't fit. Now I'm slightly concern that the boards are too well fitted that it may jam the door. Going to put it together this weekend...or maybe eventually.

As expected, we were told by mgmt that anything that may alter the external appearance of the property is a no no. Because wife do not want to dry our clothes on the balcony, we gave up and decided to go ahead and get a dryer. Yup, in sunny Singapore. Our consideration - Energy consumption - Quietness of operation - Auto sensor feature - Vented dryer with a tube at the back is a no no. - we heard that Korea brand have a bad rep for dryer - Can it be mounted or stacked? - Capacity - Price In the end, we got a Bosch Condenser Dryer WTS86516SG. Took just a few days to decide since we are only considering Bosch and Electrolux, and there was not alot of choices. Did I already mention I live in sunny Singapore.

sorry streetwise for the late reply. Dun have the boxes anymore but think sensa 4 comes in a 70 x 50 box (est) and baby comes as 55 x 30 (est). We called in advance to check for stock in case of disappointment.

Welcome Bengologist The pictures were well taken. Excited for you : )

Hi Bengologist I believe a lot of people also share your predicament. Maybe can share us the name of your ID firm so that those with limited budget can avoid. or better still, write a T-blog on your journey and result so that we can benefit from your experience.

Thanks Bengologist Good luck on your "hunting" trip

Thanks HL85. Price is S$319 We got it as a 3-aligned. Lamp size is around 12x22cm (based on a rough measurement with a ruler)
