Hi there, I've PM'ed you

Agree. Better to get from the same shop. The price difference would be marginal. I bought the tracklights from this shop and the track came free. I thought it was a pretty good deal. Hahaha...

Hi Noddy, I've pm'ed you the contacts. I'm not sure about all the sellers but I think our voltage/wattage and China's are almost the same, if not the same. I got my tracklight from this seller and it's working fine. https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5-b.w4011-9052801320.77.vWqQaw&id=42978258671&rn=4d57f69b1541efc86bd0c7b770f55fde&abbucket=17&skuId=3102729147326

I know how it feels needing to live with the imperfection. I guess if it's not too obvious, then just live with it. It can be quite cumbersome to replace door frames. HDB's bolted the door frames so well into the walls and floor, removing it will definitely cause quite a bit of damage. I was rather surprised how much need to be patched up after Ronald replaced the door frames to my bedroom. I learnt later that our HDB door frames are made of iron. I can only imagine how much more work needs to be done if you were to remove the door frame to the main door. Don't worry. You will get used to it after a while.

Hi Tamt, I've pm'ed you the contacts. I'll post my Taobao loot soon. There was some delays in the shipment due to typhoon so they only arrived about 2 weeks ago. Just managed to snap photos of it over the weekend. Some misses but mostly good. Will put something together and post it up soon.

Hi Catt, I've just PM'ed you the door and gate contacts. My main door is fire rated so I was advised to keep the door frame so I only got it a new quote of paint. I got new door frames for my bedrooms and yes, Ronald changed the tile that was damaged as well as patched up the walls. However, you need to know that should you change the damaged tiles, it will look different from your current ones. Maybe you can check why your contractor is unwilling to make those changes. Is it because it will impact some other structures or carpentry? I noticed some chip in my old tiles after the floor buffing (before carpentry) and got Ronald to change the tiles. He saw to it immediately. Didn't seem too cumbersome, was done in less than a day.

Hi Ray, I've just PM'ed you.

Hi Ben, I've PM'ed you. Thanks

Hi Snowkitten, I've emailed you. Thanks.

My butterfly cave is starting to take shape with my first butterfly themed item - the MBR bathroom bifold door from Ministry of Doors. I had selected the Bifold One series, which was very affordable. You can choose between top hung or top and bottom track. I had originally wanted the top hung version but decided against it after advice from Rachel and reading many reviews on top hung bifold doors. The door is very stable and the track is smooth. There were also many designs to choose from.

The kerb for the relocated aircon pipes has been completed. I think they did a good job with it. It looks nice. Doesn't look like an afterthought at all.

Already emailed you.

Thanks xhomesweethomex. Yes. After 13 years, my house started looking tired and things kept falling apart. And also probably because I have too many things from IKEA. hahaha .... Do stay posted. I'm holding my breath for my next big shipment from Taobao. Over 100 items.

Just a slight problem though. The tracklights were meant to illuminate the wardrobe area. However, the electrician fixed the tracklights so close to the wardrobe that I am not able to swivel the tracklights to point at the wardrobe. Small problem. Ronald will need to get the guys to come fix it.

The electrical works are up! I can finally see in the night. Hahaha.... I think the wonderful thing is that all the lights I got from Taobao worked! Got a small KDK ceiling fan from Qoo10 to cool the living area.

I had waited patiently for 3 hours for the guys from **** to finish installing the 3 bedroom doors and main door so that I can install the electronic door viewer cum door bell> Such a steal, only S$50 from Taobao. And it took me just 5 mins to get it done. Not nailing required at all!
