Creates a different feel to the surrounding, great job!

Oh vivo got tangs ah. Maybe can drop by during lunch.

How long is the promotion until?

Wow it is really looking good already. The bathroom toilet window is pretty big. Did you change it? Installing the hood?

Ya man, if I miss it this round, will have to wait until the next offer. Kim did you find time to purchase it?

In the end we drop this ID due to price, which we sign with another ID doing similar job but about 4-5k lesser. However, I would still recommend defong.

Kim I eyeing at this mirror for long time and no free shipping to Singapore. want to buy for my wife as a gift, there is 1x 5x and 10x. 259 is for which model? 259 is pretty good price considering if get from Amazon is 270+ without shipping.

Wow it is looking good already.

If you getting Kraus, then just go ahead and get bowls from Kraus as well, quite a series of collection. TB sink i not sure the size.

Hardware store should have them.

Some owners are less picky and more 'chin chye' so it depends. For me if it is an eyesore i will not hesitate to tell my ID. If it doesn't bother me in future, i think leave it as it is. There is no perfect house.

Carpentry is about $110 - 180 depending on contractor

Another hacking permit approved, so have to wait till next weekend before there is any update on the reno. Yard windows up Sealy Bed Heritage plush and freebies

The guide to a good plunger is a long handle, i ask hotel stuff why the handle is 3 ft long. They told me, it is the power of the push to create the vacuum. If the handle is too short the plunger will not do a good job, some even bend. With the SH plunger, it is metal, wouldn't bend. I think it will be fine. Wife don't allow? Woah, difficult then. Have to respect. You are right on the Stock shower head, the rubber already gone even without using. Have asked ID to change using the 707 free shower head, if still cannot, will ship some good shower head, mean while will source and keep in cart.

You probably need to go to their shopping outlets to get good deals which normally requires driving out. Some of the outlet in LA - Carmarillo and Desert Hill, both are premium outlets which i would recommend if you are intending to get Bose. There are many good brands as well. Can go to Best Buy to get some electronics. I would say anything that is a US brand should normally be cheaper, like Philips, Tumi, Bose, NorthFace, etc.. for cookware, Lodge, All Clad, etc. However, even with 60kg baggage allowance i wouldn't lug so much things back when i can go online to amazon to purchase and have them ship free to Singapore. i didn't buy anything renovation related when in the US, most is for personal use.

Hi, i would recommend Kraus sink + local manufactured cabinet for vanity. (i know of people import vanity from Taobao, it is not something i would do even if it is cheap and save cost) i always believe that the bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten. For adaptor, 3/8" to 1/2" to fit local pipe can get from Teck Siong Huat Hardware Pte Lrd. 28 Kelantan road. My piping not done yet, but as long as the fittings and joint are correct it should not leak. Hope this helps.

Take picture and highlight. It is the contractor stubbornness not to lay the protective sheets. To me it is okay if they don't lay but the cost will go to the ID and eventually if charged to us by other means, long run they will lose out customers.

Inspired by Kim's thread on the kettle and this colour suits our chosen kitchen laminate colours giving a good contrast *hopefully* of cause not forgetting OXO toilet brush and Simplehuman plunger (the holder is magnetic so it doesn't fall off).

Ong, how's the romba performance?

Yes ongal, it is fairly straight forward even simpler than taobao, can visit Kim blog on how to order via Amazon, actually I also put Kim blog link on my first post for "Amazon Global Free shipping" Just need a credit card and an address. You will be fine, I also rarely do any internet shopping and you wouldn't go very wrong with it.

Well done!!

Looks like your reno is well under way! Thanks for sharing. Any closeup on the carpentry and how is it?

Well done on the tiles, show us your purchases, can't wait to see.

Certainly very informative that reduces a lot of our time to keep searching, just spend time to read once, take notes. Read second time, take notes and then come back and refer when required.

Very fast! Can't wait to see the final outcome. Have you started your purchases on things you will need when the house is done and all the hob hood etc?
