Our Yishun Greenwalk 5-Room Simple Simple Reno Journey

This blog is no longer 100% objective and unbiased. That I just realized today. Maybe the ID is too nice that it make me feel guilty to post negative thing. However pictures won't lie. That is the consolation -

Under the reflection of light in MBR, the effect turns out to be different Structure of the MBR wardrobe. The structure deviates slightly from what was discussed. The extreme left top drawer should be smaller as the internal contains boxes for accessories, aka "tofu" structure. The extreme bottom right 2 rows of drawers will be removed to make space for 2 rods to hang clothes. Structure for common bedroom wardrobe. Due to the ceiling column, we have the openings small shelves at the side. We realized that it is too deep, therefore it will not be easy to clean the insides. Told the ID our concern and the solution is to cover up the insides so as to make the depth less deep. Due to the above changes, the wardrobes need to be transport back to workshop for rectifications. It is comforting to see the ID taking strong ownership of the work. During his discussion with carpenter regarding the rectifications (and based on my limited vocab of dialect), i keep hearing the ID saying "Don't tell me it can't be done. It definitely can be done." To be fair to the ID, the rectification regarding the shelving depth of the common bedroom wardrobe is an ad-hoc request. Strictly speaking, we are on a weak ground to request for the change, especially so when they need to bring the wardrobe back to workshop again. But the ID didn't give any excuse or reason to push this request away. He just agreed with the rectifications. A line he said today etched in my mind, "The things we do must be nice and good. If it can't meet that, we will just re-do." Hopefully I can pass this spirit on to my clients or stakeholders too. Respect. -

The cabinet with "box-in" component The hanging lights which we bought from Taobao. We ordered for the horizontal base instead of round base. They sent the round one over. So we are left with 2 options: To have 30% discount or to wait for them to ship over the horizontal base, which they say is out of stock and has no idea how long will the restock take. Decided to go ahead with the round base. Felt that there are too many rectangles and lines in the house. Felt very "boxy". So we will go ahead with the round base. -

Kitchen table top is up this week By default, the dish drainer cabinet will protrude out more than the rest of top carpentry. Luckily our ID decided to increase the depth of the top carpentry, to ensure that the whole top carpentry is flush neatly. This also allows the cabinet with "box in" component to have more usable space. One of the decision to make regarding the wrapping of the table top at wall end.
