DIY painting! Painting prep work... Paint ah paint! Spent whole afternoon painting 3 x bedroom door frames and 2 x toilet door. Tomorrow will go back to our place to paint the bomb shelter door.
-
Went to our place early this morning to prepare for some DIY painting cos our ID charges us $50 per door and $300 for bomb shelter painting... Looks like my ID done a good job on the main entrance although the slope seems flatter now according to my wife. The hacked kitchen wall also touched up nicely. Today ID guys also doing up my kitchen cabinet base and shower kerb.

Tiler came today to mend the hacked kitchen wall. ID also offered to help me hack a bit of my entrance slope to fix the uneven height issue.

Cement screed done! Turns out the cement screed don't expand... And today the HDB contractor tell me different story say its meant to be like that... Cos of the kitchen tiles height and main door slope got some differences but anyway won't affect cos the vinyl can seamlessly fit into the drop. Which also means my vinyl ends at main door now instead of main gate. my id highlighted this issue... Kitchen tiles and cement screed no issue. Toilet have some issue which the HDB contractor advise me to lodge a 'complaint' to him so he can inform hdb to get bsc to get their contractor to raise my toilet tiles at entrance higher to have the drop for my vinyl to fit in nicely. Currently the level is the same (they cannot drop due to the levelness of the kitchen tiles height). But I will ran into another problem cos if they adjust the toilet tiles height... my toilet door which is already custom made will not fit... The rest of the cement screed result.

Hi, from electrician... i requested to use back Hager brand as supplied by HDB.

last night my neighbour fb me and show me a picture of my place... told me my main door and gate is wide open for 30 mins and no one is around immediately called the HDB contractor responsible for laying cement screed and was told his guys went for dinner break... but wah lao u went for dinner break at least close the door or something... if not get one of them to jaga... anyway i immediately went down to my place to check on the door/gate to ensure its locked properly and also see check on the progress as well. First thing I notice was... how come main entrance there had a drop which should not be supposed to as I intend to overlay the vinyl flooring all the way to the main gate... immediately call the HDB contractor and he told me it is like that... the cement screed will expand later to increase the height... hmm not sure if he smoke me or not cos I check with my ID and a few friends who did cement screeding before... all never heard of this... well never mind, tonight I will drop by after work again to check as I could not step into our place since the cement screed is not ready to be step on yet. oddly enough... contrary to what the HDB contractor told me... how come the cement screed is on level with my kitchen tiles then? If it expands... wun it be higher than my kitchen tiles later? The plastic sheets I layed around the wall seems to serve it's purpose... to keep out the cement stains that my neighbours showed me... once the cement screed is ready to be stepped on, will just cut and throw those excess plastic sheets sticking out and I will have very "clean" walls!

Kitchen wall hacked today! Before After View from far

my height is 171, wife 165 read from other forum... the forumula is to use your height divide by 2 then + 5cm... so see the shorter of either you two... and use that as the minimum.
-
didn't really ask for height extension... that is the default height they are using even at their office demo. we tried standing at their demo kitchen cabinet and feels ok. i suspect, it could be due to the kitchen cabinet cement base that is raising the height.

Quite easy in fact... don't really need to liase with the ID on this, just check with your ID on the reno timeline... you can do the first installation (trunking and piping installation) before the reno starts or after the reno starts, just need to know when your ID is starting the painting process. In my case I don't mind some of the surface areas below the trunking not painted so I opt to do the first installation before reno starts. Then towards end of renovation during the touch up phase before handover by ID, you can ask Tim now to do the second installation (compressor and air con unit)
