OMG this is hilarious!! This looks nothing like your reference picture! I wonder who the workers thought was going to use that door while constructing it. hahah It's a good thing they fixed the problem and didn't settle for an easier way out! -
Day 42 (16/11/14) Kitchen carpentry and tiles done! Toilet tiles done! Our toilet amenities will be delivered tomorrow. Cement screed floor first layer of epoxy done! So much love for whatever that's been done so far. Can't wait to move in!Our next worry would be the TV feature/ storage unit which takes up a huge % of carpentry in the living room. Crossing my fingers and hoping it will look good!

Hi! I've pm-ed you the contact! Thanks for the compliment! We are building up a feature wall/ storage area in the living room and the projector will be mounted on it! I'll share a picture soon so that you can get a better understanding of how it looks like!

Day 37 (11/11/14) Happy singles day! Tiling work are completing and will be completed tomorrow. We're happy with our selection of tiles and how it looks when it all comes together. No regrets on overlaying the bathrooms and kitchen! The tiler gave us a few choices of different ways we can lay our wood tiles and suggested our current layout so that the tiles will lay flushed. He mentioned that if we were to do the H pattern, the tiles might pop out slightly. Kitchen carpentry will be up next followed by the grinding and polishing of our cement screed flooring for the rest of the house. Then all carpentry will be up! Can't wait!! Some pictures to show how awesome the carpentry work is! When carpentry came on last week Screed wall Now, ongoing tiling works Kitchen Toilets (Photo has weird discoloration problem)

hahaha your post made my day! Everytime when we introduce our place to our family members and show them the "lake", we always have a good laugh. Like you know, self consoling hahaha. Having a drain beats being surrounded by HDB blocks so I guess we are lucky! (you included! haha) Thank you!

Hi homesweet, I have PM-ed you!

i LOVE the loft area and your son's choice of color for that area! The knobs and giraffe light are really cute too! What material are the knobs made of? It looks like ceramic in the pictures.

your 3D drawing looks great! Love the kitchen sliding door and your sofa choice makes the house more lively! We also had the same concern; wanted to sub out the electrical part but it's one of the most important component in the house. My friend subbed out his electrical works and I guess that electrician has some issues, his house electricity trips frequently! Are you done with the rectifications? Ours had problems with the window frames (patches of paint everywhere & check if it closes tight. Our master bedroom window was sagging), the door frame of the toilet was rusty, the tiles in the toilet/ kitchen some of them had cracks/ uneven. If you are intending to use the sink provided by the hdb, check if the stopper is rusty or not.

That baby training seat looks interesting! Now the kids don't even need help to get to the seat. You might wanna consider slim window grilles! I think it looks really sleek and neat!

Continued.. Master Bedroom. Four 3W downlights nearer to the window. One 7W downlight on the left side of the room. Dim but very cosy. We are happy with what we have went with so far. We did not want the house to look too bright but we are also concerned that it might look too dim. Crossing our fingers and hope it'll look as good as we have in mind when the rest of the lights are up!

Day 31 (5/11/14) We had a discussion with MrE and the electrician yesterday and confirmed the placement of our lights. Electrician is really on the ball and understood what we wanted. This discussion was pretty quick and smooth! Today, the lights (those that we have) are up! Honestly, we have never been out and about searching for downlights/ track lights because we ordered them online and did our research online then deciding it based on our gut feeling. However, our gut feeling is not always right. Initially we wanted our living room to look cosy and dim and we got the 3W downlights. The electrician then advised us that it might be too dim, especially because our floor is dark coloured so we should go for 7W. Some of our downlights are still not here, thus he installed whatever that we have for the meantime so that we can get a better idea of the brightness of the lightings in the house. So, for the clueless people out there just like us, these are some pictures to refer to. There are supposed to be 7pcs of 7W downlights but we only had 1. Seems bright enough, it's the downlight shining against the wall on the left hand side of the picture. Another view Dining area/ dry kitchen that we built out. Currently these are 3W downlights. Kitchen. 7W track lights. Walkway. 3W track lights. Bedroom. 7W Track lights. For some reason, it looks darker in pictures.

Hi! Tried to PM you but I guess your inbox is full because the message couldn't go through.

Continued... Protection work was also done and everything was taped securely on the floor. Lines were so straight and every nook and cranny was covered.

Day 25 (30/10/14) Our tiles should be arriving next week! Had an in-depth discussion on Thursday to finalise on all carpentry details till close to 12midnight! When we left their office, they were still serving another couple! Talk about dedication! Factory We were so surprised when Mr J informed us that our kitchen carpentry work is ongoing already. Workmanship is awesome! Went on to decide on our platform vinyl, the more promising designs we were leaning on more: Day 26 (1/11/14)Popped by our place to get some pictures taken but the sun has already gone down so pictures turned out to be grainy. But I guess it's better than nothing! The kitchen and toilets were done with screeding and prepped for tiling works to take place next. We planned to have exposed screed walls and we have to saw that we are pretty pleased with how it looks like, especially the kitchen! Loving the swirls/ cloudy effect!
