monsieurlee 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2007 Recon Veneer door with nice door lock set @ only $268 per door...good pricehave a look...at what i bought... The service from Sentat trading is excellent. Sharon who works there gave me superb service and even on sunday i bug her to change the schedule she did it without any complaints or feeling disgruntled! The doors and stainless steel gates are also good...let me know if you want her contact...will give you! Thumbs up!Hey apologise for the silence man...we are now homeless...my parents and I are staying in budget hotels like ghost floating...my god...i tell you it is terrible. My renovation will stretch till end of Sept...so sad....nonethelsss I will provide you some pictures i have...first...Hotel 81 at Bencoolen - very steep! $139 per nite nett very expensive. Next my window grilles are up...i din want to have them as i find grilles terribly ugly but my parents felt insecure! My air-con vent...which is located on the top is now replaced with this Now the room is alot brighter! As i be doing up a walk in W/D so means the additional natural light will help brighten up the place ...yayM/B sink up. Model is Ancora Bellavista. There is choice to do left side, right side etc...bought this from SIMSCWater heater from Ariston bought from Lookz at 280. Is that expensive leh?My two bathrooms are so small and especially so for our common bathroom. So i bought a capsule like sink...something atypical - not squarish to be different! haaToilet bowl for the common toilet not up yet just place there pose for this picture just for u!The ah-neh installer open up the box like christmas present....i was there looking at him opening up the box so farnyhere is my picture of the toilet bowl just fresh from box...My KDK remote control fan...i like ceiling fan somehow...do you guys fancy?You know i got very du lan with the ugly running of the pipping all wrapped up haiz but we doing something to the carpentry works to rectify this These few days dun feel good as i have been bogged by office work and then worst my renovation is running so slow...do u guys experience slowness in ur reno work? U know for example only got one person do the job...like laying laminate flooring one one...toilet and basin one person do....then u know eletrical works only one person...why is that so? Do you have such prob? Working days are only Mon-Fri!

You could have bought that flat! The place is actually quite safe you know? I have been living in the area - downgraded from 4 room to this 3 room. You are right and it is very very central...apart from the foreign workers on the opposite of the road...price wise not expensive.You are right about the layout - but the newer 3room flats got condo layout check out farrer park point blocks...but too expensive. Saw one that sold for $260k on hdb resale transaction... I sold my 4-room at only $260k How much did you intend to pay for this unit since you nearly bought it?

I paid $178k - i though the price was good so i grabbed.How come the one you view is so expensive? Farrer Park got point blocks - 30 - 40 floors high. Four point blocks only about 4-5 years. I think it is block 11-14 or 15. Don't remember but i check out their show flat, small but condo layout really nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monsieurlee 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2007 I run into some problems with my renovation!! So sad!Problem #1My m/b room toilet sink i want to reposition, but they say cannot remove the sink as they siliconed it!They said will have to break it...and i was miffed as the sink costs about $500. MADNESS! They want to take the easy way out...in the first place i dunno why they need to put so much silicone to it and the ah neh who installed it thought it will be stucked to the wall permanently! ****...The shower rain bath sucks also as the height is too short and the rain bath is protruding out excessively! So i wonder if it was due to my misjudgement or my "designer"/contract being inexperienced!! Now i duno wat to do and am very sianz...now. So far my contract has been very good and responsive...appreciate that but just hope the can help me resolve the prob!! Pray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangle at the Ah neh 100 bucks and give him 1 whole day. See if he can remove or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted September 27, 2007 if can cut just ask your contractor to cutit's his job to ensure that your home turns out the way YOU want, not he wants do you have a pix of the rainshower to show usmaybe we can offer some alternatives?
