@Catt I was advised that buyers prefer to have the option, so yeah, it's easier to sell off. Although I personally think that quite a number of people would enjoy having a bigger bathroom than 2 tiny ones! Also, my mum feels that guests should not use the MBR bathroom haha... If there are 2, they can always use the common toilet instead! -

My HIP is approaching soon... Am in a dilemma and wondering if I should combine both bathrooms (knock down the dividing wall) and have a more spacious bathroom, or stick to having 2 separate ones. Haiz. 1 bathroom is much easier to maintain than having 2, but it's the same area. The thought of having to restore to original condition if I eventually sell, is quite the deterrent. Anyone has done that? Care to share? -
I find Ch*n Hu*t quite reasonable and there is also some room for negotiation. Are you getting track lights for the whole place? I have heard of many who purchased from Malaysia and they turned out okay. I would think as long as you do not overload your outlets, there ought to be lesser risks. There are also members who get their lightings from Taobao. I was quite hesitant to deal with the problems (damage in transit, or its failure, or electrical risks) so I got my lightings from local shops and an online european lighting store. From SCDF: Fire Safety Advisories to Prevent Electrical Fires: Never overload electrical outlets with electrical appliances; Always switch off appliances when they are not in use; Check the condition of wires regularly. Frayed wires or cracked cords should be replaced or repaired immediately; Do not run wires under carpets or mats and keep wires away from hot surfaces; and Use electrical plugs which carry the SAFETY Mark.

Interesting concept, @bie18 ! Surprised that P&R are going into custom-made stuff! Are the individual boxes easy to dismantle? Which hob did you end up purchasing? Actually you can start shopping and request for the items to be delivered at a later date! I've attached a photo of my kitchen tiles on my t-blog (did not want to clog up yours!). Took the photo earlier, with lighting from a 28W LED

This is absolutely horrifying and disgusting!! Glad that it's all resolved now. What a nightmare when you should be enjoying the new place. When morning comes, I'm going to scan my cupboards with a flashlight and make sure there are no tunnel bumps anywhere...... -

It just looks nasty... Have not tried painting over it - afraid that using normal oil-based paint with brush might worsen the look. Maybe could try spray painting... -

In other news, my chair has not arrived (the notorious L**H). Still waiting... Still looking for those side tables, and some nice art for the blank walls!
