Any feedback abt it since i gathered you had used it for abt 1 yr+? The sales staff told me it's not a new product and had been in SG for abt 2 yrs; but i nv noticed it when i walked by those self-fix or simi-fix shops. triangle rule not FS. lolits abt how kitchens should be designed to maximize space and ease of "using" the kitchen.lol what themes have you decided to reno your place??Oh i see... paiseh, me blur sotong here...Themes ah... we didnt have a fixed theme lor. So far we had decided we are looking at island kitchen, platform bed in MBR , platform @ top part of living rm there + ex-balcony (oh yah, the balcony had been hacked and levelled, leaving the stupid beam on top), and a bar counter @ opp side of the living rm - windows facing corridor there - right side corner. Think it's rojak. Hahaha!! Applefreak,Was reading yr blog and noticed tt you are using Eubiq also! My hb likes it and was thinking to affix it too.

applefreak 1 Report post Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) Hihi Applefreak,What's this abt triangle rule? FS reason? Sorry, haven gone thru tt and knw nuts abt FS... the triangle is more about workflow in the kitchenhaving the stove, sink and fridge in a triangle means min moving around while preparing a mealalso helps reduce spills when you get things to / from the fridge Applefreak,Was reading yr blog and noticed tt you are using Eubiq also!

Oh, so it's recommended to be in a triangle... Hmm... ok... will take note. Wires from track are hanging?? Huh... how come? Was yours a customised track or you bought those standard lengths? Any pic to show so that I can 'screw' the Eubiq ppl to make them ensure no dangline wires when we are purchasing ours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skali, in future, Eubiq can b found at all hotels..... Oh really? They copied us! Joking joking. Anyway, tt was an idea which my hb gave me. I was a bit skeptical; i mean, we had been using the gd old switches for donkey yrs, suddenly came out this new kid on the block. Happened to see it @ Vivo's self-fix (or dunno wat-fix) store @ basement, and was surprised it seems not bad... a foot is about 30.48cm, add to that 3ft each for stove and sinkthat's 7ft (213cm) min with no countertop spacewhose kitchen can afford? !! that's why must do proper planningif plan the height well then will look like this liao3 ft for stove and sink? Oh gosh... Oh dear... is the distance a rough gauge or anything tied to it?Hey, those btm 2 pics look much nicer. I believed only the kitchen has the slightly higher height. Cant put them lower else water may splash into it. Hb intends to use it for living rm tv area and study area. Can't imagine e cost. Hey hey guys, any ideas on the kitchen walkway? I'm still stumped... Any idea if the beam can be removed (from last time's door to balcony i think)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
