  1. Looking good on your 3D and the progress. I see that you had bought many stuff from taobao. So am I! Now still waiting got the shipment. Do post more updates Ya!!
  2. Beveled are those like a bit 3d type ah? I prefer those though. Trendier.
  3. Nice, im also looking at getting Storage heater, do share the pic after your install ya!
  4. Wow, seems like we got similar theme ya! The tiles not yet arrived so not able to let you know. The tiles is paid by pieces in Taobao, 1 box is 50 pieces which is 1m2. I bought 20 boxes. The seller gave me additional 1 box in case of any damages. Black gout i personally felt is easier to maintain? Anyway if put white it will also become yellow or black. lol. Maybe you can try google image on subway tiles with black gout see if any images. I saw a few, find it quite ok la. I using black gout also due to the black framed window. An example of the subway tiles with black gout, this is another project by my ID. Also i happened to saw another AB neighbour posting their T-blog in renotalk too. They are also using Subway tiles with Black gout. This is the link. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/topic/69594-industrial-is-on-the-rage/page-2
  5. Hi! Thanks for visiting! Yes, no choice, i have to risk in order to save. Hahaha. Still keeping my fingers cross. All the lights total spent like SGD$600. I consider a savings, because just last year my in law, bought near 2K just on lightings, and he is 4 room.
  6. Yes, the standard offset for HDB is 150mm. But because I overlay, I ordered 130mm. The flushing system if ordered 150mm and above it will be suction type, saw the demo video on the link, they throw in ping pong balls, and all the balls were suck into the hole. But because the offset is less than 150mm, so the flushing system would be those using water to push all the dirt down the hole. Hi, thanks for visiting. Will be updating it!
  7. Hi, seems good on your Amazon purchase. You can provide some of the amazon links? I have been making some orders thru taobao. For sink, basin, shower head all these am still looking around.
  8. Just bought a W.C from TB. I only bought 1, planned to test the quality, if it is good, then will buy 1 more, in the next shipment. So hopefully it faster delivered to my forwarder so I can quickly arrange to ship here. http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=37550643647&spm=a1z09.2.9.10.vbidLC&_u=81prdk1ce1a2
  9. Hello AB neighbour!! I'm also from AB! Wow. your tiles are soooo NICE!! Your bedroom and bathroom so stylo!. Which block are you from? I'm from 505B. Hey can i check with you on the distance of the common bathroom's shower kerb? How much distance do you left with at the W.C side. From the wall to the shower kerb. What is the distance? And your subway wall tiles, are they with black gout? Will be dropping by your T-Blog often! Keep updating ya!
  10. Hi, after reading your post. I really felt sad and can felt your agony. I'm in the midst of my reno too. And if this happen to me, i also do not know what to do. But one thing, your Taobao purchase were awesome! can you share with me the link for your SST kitchen sink and the light switches. Does it have LED indicators? Thanks!
  11. The toilet now are like 80% finish for tiling. I am quite happy with the looks. What do you think? Master Toilet. The shower kerb base in already up, floor tiles also done. Only left with the bottom wall tiles i guess should be done on Monday. the pic was taken on today, maybe since Saturday not allowed to do cutting of tiles is it? The Mozart tiles still not up. But i think it should be nice! In case you guys are thinking what is the ledge on the side of the wall, it is suppose to be the shampoo/shower bath stand. initially wanted to build a wall up between the W.C and Shower so can create a small space for shampoo, but my ID suggest this instead. Think should be nice. Common Toilet Progress is about the same, with the shower kerb base done, also left with bottom wall tiles to be lay. I love the feature wall tiles. Looks so good. And have 2 different feel for both master and common bathroom. Because the tiles comes in different shades and patterns, some are nice, some are not nice. But when mix together, the overall feel looks good! At first I still quite skeptical that the tiling uncle don't know if know how to make it nice not, but seems the tiling uncle is quite good. Guess based on their experience, they are used to these type of tiles. The kitchen is still waiting for my Subway tiles from Taobao. Now still at my forwarder, i guess next week then able to start to ship to here which will takes another 3 weeks. The kitchen is already plastered and ready to lay the tiles. Had already told my ID that the subway tiles will not be here so soon, she say they will do whatever they can, if all finish, tiles still not here, then they will come back another time to do it. Nice! Like that i not so stress. Haha, In the 3D, this wall is supposed to be in orange brick or white brick. But after some thought, since the dining table will be just by this wall, in the event of spill or splash during Steamboat or any event then it will be extremely hard to wipe it off. So in the end also decided to lay Subway tiles too. White subway tiles with black gout. What do you think? Hopefully next week have more progress, see if the living and bedroom floor tiles can be completed a not.
  12. Aircon piping more or less done for now. Except for some rework required at the kitchen and dining beam as i plan to install glass windows. But the aircon installer (Ah di) are good. He do not mind coming down a couple of times. Had spoken with other aircon guys before, some ask them to come twice already not easy. But Ah di, seems easy going. Willing to come down to do the re piping first. But not yet done la, need to check with ID where should they move the pipe to. Quite happy to have engaged him, talk to him, most of the things he also ok. All thanks to renotalk! This is the place where need to rework, the pipe should be outside the dining area, cause my ID will do box up. You can see that my piping is running on the outside, and the pipe are not covered with PVC trunking. Because i upgraded the pipe and insulation, so if put PVC trunking, it will be very thick and box up will not be that nice. So decided to do box up only, and to make it not that thick, they install the gas pipe on top while the water pipe below. View from my Master bedroom. Will box up for my masterbed room too. Now the whole house is in a mess. Lol. Wires everywhere, sand everywhere. Electrical and LAN wires are concealed on the floor before laying tiles
  13. Hi, PMed I see.. All the best Ya!! So far ok ma? Are you in the FB group too?
  14. Hello neighbor!! Which block are you in? I'm from 505B!! Have you got your keys? I have not received the tiles yet. But the tiles are at the forwarder. Now waiting for the rest of the items to be there then arrange for shipment, But I may be doing one more shipment during the carpentry setup. I used Hong Xun, this is the first time I used them with recommendations from my friend who is a frequent buyer of TB. They charge 530rmb for 1cm2. Usually I use oops.sg for air freight. But i think their sea is 500rmb per 1cm2 though..

  18. Happy new year to all! It has been a while since i'm updating due to waiting for the hacking permit and CNY. The wall hacking permit was only approved just before CNY, so have to wait till last week before any job are carry out. So, last week my kitchen wall was hacked, at first my ID still worry that the wall needs to hack full because of the support, but lucky, i can hack half wall despite that the left and right support are also being hacked. You can see below that the right side of the wall which is the old entrance is hacked away, and the new entrance will be opened on the left. So left with this wall standing in the middle. And just yesterday, the electrical wiring was done, not all though cause i yet to buy the audio surround speakers, so they will continue the cables on coming thursday.
  19. Last check on HDB website, hacking of kitchen wall still pending for approval. let's show some 3D. My ID had not given me the full sets, only partial. hopefully by next week she can provide me with the rest of the 3D pictures. There have been a change of the layout after viewing the actual size of the flat. The Color laminate not really what i want, have to change. Will update it once all are finalized.

I got it from Expo show from Novena, they say is Expo price @ $2400 for full leather, but only with this side and color. Cannot choose. Last i seen they still has it in Defu lane and Sungei Kaduk.

  23. Like most of the people here. Before I have got my keys, I had already bought some of the stuff. Serta mattress L-shape sofa - After getting keys, found out that the sofa seems to be a bit too long. But my "SHE".F.O really like it. So hopefully won't be too out of the way. Dining Table - I quite like this dining table, but my ID saw it and she says not really match the color theme. So my "SHE".F.O decided to change it. So still sourcing for a suitable dining table, or maybe ask my ID to fabricate for me.
