Hi Khng, thanks! Basically, if you can understand my lousy drawing, they will form up the table in silver, pipe being black. Once its done, a separate piece of metal will be placed in the red area and with a bit of silicon, completes the top.

Day 57: touching ups Stainless steel was not wrapped until the underside of the counter, ID said it was a limitation. I asked why is this limitation not known before fabrication. Result: manual insertion of metal sheet at the underside and then welded them together... Presenting my red monster: Love at first sight when I saw it, although I knew it would complicate matters.. lol. Glass backsplash will be in same colour as the wall so as not to steal monsty's limelight. Then I realised the counter is shorter than the length of the wall by 1cm though I ordered it flushed. ID explained that they cant do it flushed as the metal sheet needed allowances for wrapping. 😳 OPSH came to measure my pre-fab wardrobe frame and lo and behold! Another problem. There is a difference of 1cm height at the left and right side of frame, which will affect the installation of sliding glass door. OPSH said they will work something out while I shot a dirty look at my ID. Seriously 👿 The culmulation of problems in carpentry are really getting to me. Before that he was bragging how good his carpenters were and they only use good materials, hence the higher cost. A load of bullsh*t. If this continues on, 命都会短几年... Zen zen... 🙏

Your contractors sound good! Have fun renovating! Can't wait for more pictures!!

The feeling is mutual for me and my ID.. Everytime I see him there is a new problem😒

Convert to digital format!!

Hi, You need a min of 7.5-8cm from door to gate. The gate person came today too and proposed the gate opening on the opposite of the door handle.

Hi, I did not measure the distance bet door and gate as the gate was an old one, but there was sufficient distance between them. Locksmith also reminded me on the distance. Will measure when I go down tmr..

Lovely moodboard, Owl! Looking forward to see the rest of the look 👍

D+54: (actually it was yesterday, but too tired to update after spending a whole day camping at the house after night shift) fast hand fast leg, suddenly everything started coming 🔨 My stainless steel counter tops are in. I love the integrated sink, which looks a bit like the Kraus 😝 Final lightings were up: Fabricated by one of my 'sons', I know there is a design flaw but am quite happy to leave it at that. This will be my dining light. Dry kitchen counter lights. Looks a bit off, shall adjust the length of the lights again.. lol Bedside lights also up. My Samsung digilock is up too! Really didn't thought of this back then as the price was really high (at least to me). Then Lux shared her lobang and because I couldn't find the lock set that I like, I then bought this digital lock. Although I am fairly used to high tech biometrics in my work, I was still a bit sceptical to use it, and kept pounding the locksmith with questions as he was installing the lock. Lock installation is pretty fascinating and I am glad that there are people still well versed in this art. I have also chosen zebra blinds as roman blinds could not be done before cny, also cleaning would be a chore... ah well. Hope my zebra will turn french... hahaha Today, I went to OPSH to settle my pole system wardrobe. Had previously gone to Zaplin (recommended by my ID) to look at their Ximula/alumix system. Nothing wrong with their system but their sales team... really cmi. Couldn't give me a detailed explanation abt my questions and no catalogue for their modules and accessories. Pricing was not too bad but I decided against it cos their team could not give me any confidence. I then asked my ID how his previous customers decide on the configuration and he said they left it to him. I then retorted that his customers are so easy-going. Pardon me, but I am a hands on person and my ID's antecedents don't really make me feel I can leave things in his hands. (Which was why I went down and look after the reno after 14hr shift) Anyways... OPSH's range were more innovative and suitable for their customers' different lifestyles. Sorry for the long and naggy post. Last leg of reno le... jiayou!

Hey guys, thanks for the support... Had the feeling that I was turning into renozilla! Brought it up to my ID le, he said the painter will rectify it.. We shall see.. Thanks Yakult! That was a blind leap of faith on my part, happy it didn't look too weird

Sarah: let me know if got herbs lobang. Wanting to start a small herb garden. Thanks! KS: got the OPSH system. Thanks!

Because to us, it's our homes. To the professionals, it's just a project. The workers were very surprised to see me evenning out a hole in the aircon pipe...

Love ur lights! I fell in love with a copper floor lamp at HN...😍

I think upload time can choose the dimensions? I use tinypic direct upload n copy n paste link..

Nice, girl! waiting for more pictures! How come yours is so fast? *envy*.. Dun mind can increase the size of the photos? Old woman can't see too well

Survey time: would you accept this? (Red box area) A) No B) Ok lah C) Nothing wrong mah

Hey Owl, still blogging at this hour?? 😁

Hi BubblyBee, thanks for dropping by. For the toilet flushing, like what KS said, there's no way to try it at the shops. All I have learnt is by the seniors' sharing and subsequently using the product and giving feedback. That's what the forum is for You can try getting the not so water-saving ones, which is almost equivalent to the ones with more powerful flushes. Try asking the shop staff as well. My electrician is from my ID, not sure if he does freelance, will check with him. His work is not too bad, nothing that I wanna grumble about till date. Have fun with your reno!!

D+52: some touching ups Light blue water pipes... Kitchen feature wall painted, pending the gas pipe. Black or same as wall? Living room feature wall painted too.. Bedroom... That's all for now!

Yes, but I'm not a fan. Imagine if your hands are wet with marinade n you need to get something from the cupboard... I just dun get why the carpenters can't achieve a standard look..

Hahaha! Come, I can teach your gf to be handy with claw hammer and drill.. 😜

I have asked my ID and aircon man if the aircon pipes could be buried under the tiles. They advised against it as any cracks in the pipes would mean flooding below the tiles and rectification would means hacking... i guess is looks over practicality. Btw bro, I think we have the same subway tiles..lol

Thanks KS. Any reason why you chose OPSH rather than XIMULA / ALUMIX? I went to check out Ximula but not OPSH yet..

Art, your meows won't attack the rest Of the tenants??

Open open!! One deliveryman gave me a call earlier too.. I hope its the same delivery! 😜
