Hello RT folks! Any help wif this?

same here oso. as advised by my FSM, i've to reposition my toilet door which is currently opened inside the kitchen, to outside the kitchen totally.

hi weixiaobao! are these furniture shops clustered in the same area in JB? am thinking to drive in to look-see oso. hope can find some good bargains inside. but if they r somewhat scattered, then i'll need to plan the route and time carefully.

hi gingerbelle, yes there r PD doors for shower screens! You can actually make a trip to their showroom at Balestier to see the real thing. Think dat will help u make ur decision!

Just wud like to revive this thread... Lately I learnt about this other kind of flooring that's being used in the residential developments in Sentosa - Limestone tiles. Does anyone have any feedback/experience on such flooring material?

i was told dat mirrors shouldn't be placed facing the areas where you will be seated for a period of time e.g. reflecting the sofa where you'll sit and watch TV, reflecting the dining table where you'll sit down and eat, and of cos, this is one common one where most pple noe - reflecting the bed where you'll sleep.

geez...no probs! i kinda made it out dat the info's meant for my ques. LOL

okxygene, when u say "sub-con electricals to another electrician", do u mean u source ur own electrician or u r using what the ID recommended? if the electrician is sourced by yourself, what r his charges like? Can PM me if not convenient to state here.

hi ferdianb, wat's the address of the Air outlets at mount sophia and their flagship store? googled for it...but din manage to locate anything. thanks!

hi sophia, may i noe how much u paid for each of these downlights? And what's the size? TIA!

hehe! i'm seriously considering to use PD Door - combination of sliding and 'push' effect. find swing panels taking a tad of space in my lil bathroom and glass sliding (tracks at the bottom) may trap hair and stuff. hence, considering PD door!

okie understood! oni for the rooms dat i'm doing laminate flooring will require cement screeding. thanks for all ur help!

err...so, to screed or not to screed...for homo tiles?

hi! i had inquired wif my HDB contractor about cement screeding work to be done by them as it was requested in the quote given by my potential ID that "Cement screeding to be done by HDB" for the flooring items. And following is what i've been advised by the HDB contractor: "Cement screeding will b done by HDB oni if u r intending to do laminated flooring. If u wanna do homo tiles, HDB will not carry out cement screeding work for u as it's against their regulations." i've never been informed of such regulations before. Has anyone experienced this? would appreciate ur advise...

during my recent trip bkk, i saw some lights shop @ sukhumvit area...with very nice lightings!! din get the chance to step in and do a price check though. does anyone noe if lights are cheaper in bkk, than in SG?

oh roman blinds! i'm quite keen to do roman blinds actuali. may i hv the contact of this curtain/blind maker? thanks a mil!

Wow! So personalised service. Is it the same contact as wat homanfai gave? Do u hv any pics of ur curtains? For urs, does it come with day and nite curtains?

hi, my ID quoted me $648 for Wiring & installation x18 PLC lights/lightholders c/w designer switches. wat's ur quote?

yup mine is EA. it's almost the same layout as urs..except for the kitchen and svc balcony. Urs is tilted while mine is straight. hmm...i can't afford to give up a room so will need to retain the study room, just making it smaller than current..and with glass wall. anyway, i'm looking forward to more pics in ur blog!

thanks so much, hobbes & kajua! ur honest opinions have definitely shed some light on my doubts on the quote. So it's reali my requirements. !! noted ur advices on the use of glass panels ard the house...hmm...the glass for the study area is a mus cos if i keep the current pc of wall, it makes the dining area very gloomy lor. let me see which other item i can forgo to make this requirement possible then. hobbes, u r rite man! every pc of feature wall quoted to me is EX lor. Esp the one at the HS wor - A frightening 2k plus! okie okie...think i noe how to proceed fm here now! thanks folks! !!

Hmm...listed below r some of the key items: Hacking - Balcony - Study room (1 wall as i'm still keeping the area...jus reducing the size) - Kitchen/Service balcony (partial wall linking kitchen & svc balcony) - MBR/Bedroom 2 (partial wall linking MBR & BR 2...for WIW) Carpentry - 4" ht platform - 6ft TV console - 6ft x full ht TV feature wall - 12ft x full ht HS feature wall - 4ft x full ht Shoe cabinet - 11ft WIW - 5ft feature wall for wardrobe entrance with swing panel door - Vanity cabinet for MBR toilet, Solid surface top, wall to wall mirror panel - Kitchen cabinets (additional from FOC ones), solid surface worktop Tiling - Living room/Dining room (part of package) - All bedrooms (part of package - laminate) - Overlay wall and floor tiles in both toilets Others - 11ftL x 7ft ht fixed tempered glass for study area - 30ftL frame up beam structure at dining area - Bi-fold door wif glass panels for kitchen entrance - L-box and 32 PLC lights ****/dining room, MBR, WIW - Shower screens for both toilets - Change to solid doors for 3 bedrooms Is this considered a lot of requirements?

yupz...we are waiting for quotes fm other IDs also. Then we'll do a comparison from there.

hobbes187, same situation as darrenelle, we r being quoted ard 50k+ fm Ideal House oso. !! Of cos, to be fair to them, this is just their initial quote...b4 any bargaining and adjusments. Then again, we r just thinking...the initial quote is this high...how much lower can the quote be?

thanks MaCe! so as long as there's such activity, it means Dong Tu oredi ya. Cos hor, we naively tot Dong Tu is applicable for flooring oni.

Hi, need some urgent advise here. Understand dat it's impt to get an auspicious date for commencement of renovation works aka. Dong Tu. For my new house, i need to get HDB contractor to rectify some defects first though. Is this considered Dong Tu? Do I need to adhere to Dong Tu date? Thanks a lot!
