You can purchase at Duro sales and service centre in Shun Li Industrial Park and they will take about 30min if you need to configure your lock. It is their showroom, office, warehouse and workshop all in the same place. duro.com.sg

Moved In. Aftermath Part 2. After moving in, bought a lot of suction cups hanger for bath towel, hand towel and table cloth. And then I realized luckily I didn't put any shelves on the kitchen wall and now I can use this blank space to put his and her bath towel. If without this space, I really don't know where else I can keep our bath towel in such a small house. Suction cup again for utensils as I don't want to drill to damage the wall tiles. Suction cup Key holder and Simple Human grocery bag dispenser for $23. Bought some S hook to put into bombshelter rack to hang things. Been using the Baron W888 for 2 weeks now and so far so good. Read on forums that some said need 2 flush but mine usually 1 flush. I also had a very powerful bidet spray which can jet down any stubborn dirt easily. Think I need to get a longer bidet pipe so I can jet down the aircon outdoor unit on rainy days. Also found this spot under the wash basin to keep his and her laundry basket, totally never planned for this purpose as first time owning a wet and dry toilet, old house just put outside toilet door, now new house so small, lucky my mum tell me not to built any cupboard under the basin so we can spray wash it easily without damaging carpentry. So I am very happy to use this space as laundry basket now to free up space in kitchen. Lastly, my Ikea 160x40cm wall hung mirror. It was mounted on partition board wall for wardrobe so cannot be too heavy. The red pail was suppose to keep in bombshelter, but it takes up a lot of space, so I double it up as a dustbin in the living room to free up bomshelter space.

Moved In. Aftermath Part 1. First thing after moving in, I have to settle for the door lock. I didn't want to spend 1k to use digital lock. I also find it troublesome to have so many keys. Therefore decided to go for Duro master lock. One key for all access. I have no idea how to change the lock myself, seems pretty complicate if you don't know how to remove the bolt. As it turn out, actually it is so easy cos only need to remove 1 screw. Before buying lock I still think must pay for people to change or ask ID to help install. End up I do it all myself. This is front gate, I changed the cylinder only. Letter box I also changed. I checked whole block.... I am the only one changed letter box lock, seems like not a popular thing to do. But I don't want so many keys, just 1 master key so had to change. Picture look like never closed properly because if using the new lock the metal piece inside a little different, must use back old lock metal piece inside then can close seamlessly. Very simple job to change just need a adjustable spanner. Main door cylinder, before and after pic, very easy to change, just 1 screw and within a minute it is done. These are the 3 locks I bought which is the Duro DMS V/3B for $168. So now I use 1 key for my letterbox, main door and main gate. However I don't know if i should buy this pad lock or not, cos currently I have no pad lock, if install this one, then I have to lock main door, main gate, padlock, 3 things... now I only lock 2 things already troublesome. This pad lock is going at $138 and I need to pay another $20 to configure the lock to use my same master key. If really buy already, I think maybe no need lock the main gate lock, so only need to lock 2 things, but then, it goes back to square one. Might as well just lock main gate and forget this padlock. So I put this on hold and just live without a pad lock first. So instead of digital lock, I spend $168 to use 1 master key system. Disadvantage so far is it only comes with standard 4 master keys. For bigger family probably 4 keys not enough, I don't know how much they charge to make extra master key. I will update more aftermath soon.

I can contribute a little on this here, I also installed shampoo slab, I saw tiler cutting a groove into the tiles, about 1 inch deep, tiler say doing this must avoid those red and blue tape wall as might hit water pipe in it. I also chosed to cut the grove on the same tiles in case I need to touch up wall next time so less tile to replace. He cut the top line and bottom line then chisel off the middle part to make the groove. One side of the groove is deeper so he can insert the slab nicely into place, then touch up with white cement. I used granite instead of marble. HTH.

Pm-ed. I would also suggest you buy at least 1 Hue Tap so you can preset 4 settings without the need to access the apps to change colors or brightness. I preset them at 25%, 60% and 100% Brightness and Off. This way I can choose the brightness I need to save electricity. Oh and I forgot to mention in Pm the Philips E27 downlight holder is $10 each.

PM-ed. The tiler did a good job for my toilet overlay. I have met a ID who tell me to outsource my carpentry work because he said "if my carpenter comes down and only do little work, not worth the trouble". Probably because he couldn't earn the carpentry work for my kitchen which I outsourced to Blum. My current ID did my project for less then 20k which is consider a small project to them. Now I already moved in about 10 days, I haven't even paid my last payment of $4800 and she never chase me also. Never once during renovation she chased me for payment, I automatically pay according to progress. I understand your concern as some ID don't take up small project as not much profit for them.

Very nice white theme house. Here is my comments : 1. Love your mint door color. However notice you put a door stopper on the floor, why not put a uniarm to hold door in place. 2. We are both suction cup hooks lover, they are so useful in toilet and kitchen. Electric toothbrush too. 3. The plant beside sofa feels a little too squeezy. Need give more space for the green to show. 4. I noticed your toilet door frame is pure white, off white would be a better match. Which remind me of my own toilet door, my only regret in my renovation. 5. Love the 2 ghost chair, blended in with transparency. Like they were not even there until close inspection. Chio. 6. You have a interesting dish dryer rack that channel water back to the sink. Good buy. Thanks for sharing your beautiful house with us.

More Updates. Finally removed all the laminate protection to see my urban kitchen. White glossy pearl laminate, probably hard to maintain. But I like the looks. I also like it that there is no cement base needed, if I need to replace the whole kitchen cabinet next time, no need to hack or make good any wall and only a few holes is put into the wall for the wall hung cabinet. I can reinstate my kitchen back to original state without hacking tiles. Also my new door is installed, same laminate as kitchen cabinet, can see the reflection of my dining table cos highly reflective. Then I bought this rubber to cushion the door frame for softer closing. Also bought this fan after seeing doubleEM one under his desk, think different model from his but looking good. My 2 x 90x200cm Ikea mattress to make a king size bed. As mentioned before, I wanted a 200cm instead of 190cm. Which also mean I can only get Ikea bed sheet. Tried Muji cotton bedsheet but doesn't fit nicely. Wifey wanted this quilt looking blanket but I feel color ta match but she like it so bought it. Other then color, size is good. Save me the trouble of having a quilt with quilt cover, more money and more washing. I also played around with the lighting. Daylight, Warm Light and Magenta. Red, Green and Blue. These are just for cosmetic looks as it is not a practical color for everyday use. Bought the hue bulb hoping to be long lasting and can get all different shade of warmlight to daylight. but these red green blue thing is too extreme. Officially moved in 29 Nov 2015 and first time sleeping there last night. Woke up like a blur sotong as not used to the routine there yet.
