Thanks zone, my reno is finishing!

Yea bro that is where the washing machine is. Unfortunately it is all done up now, lets hope it is covered under warranty.. We bought curtains for all the windows.. Now it is all covered up. Thanks for your advice! Yours is three room reno too? Can I see your house pics? Carpentry in common room is up, it is laminated with shiny stars. Will post more pics after the protective layer is removed Needs touch up

I asked Derrick about this, he said under mount is easier for excess water on table to flow into the sink, and the shape along the sink is lovely I feel 19/July, here's more about the progress in kitchen. Actually they did come over the weekend but stopped work due to noise complain, mm.. All cabinet doors use soft close, which does not "bang" when closes. Something important I feel Cut out for cabinet door, will be patched Expensive hose

Hi zone23, Thanks bro, you can check out the details from my contract..

18/July, I like my table top For some unknown reason, the carpentry work stalled again. It is supposed to be done over the weekend as promised by Derrick. Tonight going to meet him up to see whether he will compensate me as said.

Special means nice or not nice It is some barcode design, but I hope the brown laminate will darken after cleaning to look better. Now kinda faded. I did not notice about the screws, I guess no but will double check again, thanks for the note! I am waiting for the table top installation, it is white color.

That is to prevent any dead water at that area I guess, bad for cleaning. Yes there is one more below the basin. I think the shower space is better than expected, not that cramp.

Turbo cooker and oven from Wasser Bath Reinforced for cutting stuff?

Carpentry day 1

15/July, finally the glass partiton in master toilet installed

I guess this is the standard design.. Haha thanks

12/July, iron gate is up We think that the color scheme of the gate is terrible. It does not match our staircase tiles and main door at all. And it looks really old school, no modern feel. Do you agree? I called Derrick up. Apparently he is so busy with his other 5 projects that he has not evaluated this and he also thought that my master toilet glass partition is already up when it was not. Getting mad and I asked him to think of a solution to this, either replace the gate or repaint it with a modernistic color. Maybe dark grey?

Thanks bro.. Sorry for the non update. Recently I have been busy with work. And some problems with the reno as well. There has been some delay on the carpentry works for about 2 weeks now. Derrick claimed that one of the two carpenters were down due to finger injury. And the reason of having just two is to maintain quality consistency. Well I hope I bought his story but anyway he gave me a $500 discount as compensation. And if the carpentry is still not up by this weekend, $1k compensation. So I am most or less OK. I just want to get it done without any quality compromise. The thing about carpentry is that they fabricate all the stuff offsite and bring over just for installation. So to date I have no idea how it looks and where it was done. But maybe it is a good idea to ask him bring me down to the factory to see the progress. Is this a common practice?

Thanks bro. Yes today I managed to snap more pics.. 5/July, doors varnished, the color darkened and looks better now Glass partition bracket for master toilet installed Mirrors are up too, notice the unavoidable clash of master toilet's mirror(no other way to place the basin) and windows. At least it is full length to the top. Mirrors are FOC by Derrick. Common toilet mirror, standard 3 feet length

Down lights work done, but unsatisfactory as some lights are not straight, some not aligned and some plaster board dented. Derrick clarified that there will be second round of touch up. I chose all cool white light bulbs, can't wait to press the switches when they are up! Central beam false ceiling has two down lights Kitchen false ceiling. This is the reason Derrick recommend glass plated down lights, to diffuse the glare Master bedroom Guest room I quite like the toilet light

Thanks bro, yes it is one of my happy items. It costs less than $2k in my contract..

Finally staircase tiling was done. We met again in Taugres to choose the right tile. Parquet varnished, there will be a second varnishing More kitchen wall tiles laid for chimney installation Kitchen wares

Tempted to post more pics Rubber applied in between, wonder if easy to maintain?

27/June(forgot to upload these), glass partition at kitchen entrance. No gap, no L cut, only nice

30/June, Gain City guys came in the morning to install units. It was pouring so they came in late and Derrick was there to coordinate the installation too. I took full day leave to oversee and sign acknowledgement. Overall, it was average work. I noticed this Hitachi has powerful blower but less cooling efficiency Brand: Hitachi system 3 inverter (12, 9, 9) Damage: $3129 with portable iron and iphone sound dock Then in the afternoon, two windows guys came to install the grills and get money from me of course. I had the luck to see how efficient they get them done in 30 minutes! Overall good Who: My friend's contact Damage: $1950

I appreciate Derrick's initiative to reapply plastering on unsatisfactory walls. I was not aware until he mentioned.

Common toilet installation, is this nicer than master toilet or it is just me?

29/June, toiletries installed. All these stuff we bought from Wasser Bath at Balestier, together with Turbo hood, chimney, oven plus kitchen wares, costs $3.2k! We were introduced by Derrick to this shop, and Andy attended us with patience. Initial quote was very high, $3.6+ and got discounted later. Common sales tactic Heater was on promotion at $170, there will be a glass partition of less than 2 feet length before the ugly pipe Low profile toilet bowl Gonna be cramp in this small toilet My favorite of the day, no PVC!

Doors were installed too! Waiting to be painted with a transparent coating, pardon me, no idea what it is called Nice locks, Derrick passed me the keys today The color should darken once coating is painted

28/June, tile cracks rectified To be fair, the tiles broken during windows and air-con installation (both external contractors) were actually replaced without additional cost by Derrick. Happiness.
