h4happy 1 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 Thankz applefreak, very nice of u Thankz lifestyle, i was quite satisfied wif the toilet tiles as well coz quite save cost, and end up quite matching..... !!Happy,This is the joint line u mean rite? Nope, cant see the inner wood. i knoe what u mean, some laminate btw the joint can see the wood, but actually this can be eliminate when the smaller part of the laminate is not actually a laminate, it's other thing, i duno the name. Coz i told my contractor i dunwan the joint can see wood, so he say do like this Hi KIKIThanks....yes that is what I mean...it is not a laminated kind of thing, rather than a kind of round rubber (match to the nearest laminate colour).One contractor told me need to choose the rubber first before choose the laminate.Is there alot of colours for the 'semi round rubber'??I might ask my contractor to give me the sample first.Your cabinet is very beautiful and well done.Hopefully my future cabinet will look the same as yours!!hahaha yes i'm a renoholicthough my home didn't really go through much renovation,and i've shifted in a month liaostill lurking around here hoping to be able to offer some suggestions to pple who are going to renovated their homeskenna cheated so many times that i feel i must share my lessons Hi APPLEThanks!Do give me suggestions especially kitchen cabinet, wardrobe, vanity top etc...HAPPY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hongss 3 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 Hi pebsb,This is not a kdk, some erm 'non-branded' ventilation fan, hehe, yeap, it wasnt attached to the window, coz i heard that it is illegal to do so, if hdb ppl come check, they will ask to remove, so i did not do the glass thing, thou i think that is nicer, depends whther u wan to take the risk or not, coz for me, it wasnt that important as long can ventilate my toilet, looks cute also, coz small small like that, heeno nd attached wan, jus hang thr, then the electricity point come from the false ceiling/box-up(duno call which 1) then can on off frm outside switch, i think cost less than $50 like that, not ex wan.and since we r talking bout fan, let's tok bout my living n room fan, very cute n nice i think, but i bought it expensive for $180.......later i saw other electricity shop sell it for $150 oni. so next time if u guys buy, remember to find $150 k Wah, applefreak, u muz b a renoholic, so fast reply, hehe......yah, i think its called ABS trimmings, sounds like i heard that name b4 hi, im planning to install this kind of ventilation fan..where and how do you hang the fan? Can the windows be open after you fix the fan? If it can't be open, wouldn't it be not effective in ventilation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pebsb 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2007 kiki - where did you buy the toilet ventilation fan from? When you use the electricity point runs outside, you mean the on/off switch is outside the toilet door right? hmm...how did your electrician get the wire to run out of your toilet - did he drill a hole thru the wall of the toilet?

He's an id/contractor, coz he seems to bao suah bao hai, hehe, 2. Expensive or not? so so, coz i show him other quote that i got, he never reali reduce for me which i expect him to do so.........he kp on say kenot too low la, u wan quality or quantity in the end, he ask us to save up on things like window grills, no nd to change, he wash for us, then hack off our kitchen wall, so idea also change alreadi, cant reali compare wif the other quotes i got. so price more or less the same, but he let me choose more expensive tiles than my previous quote, n a free toilet bowl n some toilet accesories 3. Overall i cant tell the rating coz tis my 1st time renovate, nothing for me to compare, u noe what i mean rite. but not much big problem i say. what we ask for in the quotation is what we get lor. the thing i like about him is that, he vy detail. eg. he will ask us b4hand whr we wan to put our switch, how we wan to lay the tiles/laminate, the size of our drawer, thn he advice us to do box-up for our toilet coz he show us pic of those that nvr do, which is quite ugly, etc. but i duno, mebe other id also got like that, hehe....4. Yah, near mrt, u noe amara hotel? opposite amara hotel got lots of shops like fairprice, etc. it's over there.Oh, yah, the whole reno cost me like 20k, urs 3rm too? or u wan to take a look at my quote to compare wif urs? let me knoe if u do babyQ, so niceeee, jus as i expected, coz nothing can go wrong wif that laminate, hehe......in fact i wanted my whole kitchen to b that laminate, but my hubby say NO muz b expensive, coz ur wardrobe look hugeby the way, how come u got pink smiley face wif love wan? how come i dun hafahhh...i see Where did you buy the ventilation fan from & how much? thanks!hmmmm, i duno wor, the id jus ask "u wan ventilation fan for both toilet?" then i say yes, then its there alreadi...........i think hardware shop got sell bah, or those fan shop, u knoe? those hanging lots of fan outside the shop Edited October 13, 2007 by Kiki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
