Iceman 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2007 hello neighbour..hehe (well...neighbour in the same estate lah).. i also can't believe u got the workers to post for u. so cute... hmm... perhaps your flooring has been overlayed before, thats why so thick? can u see if there's another layer of tile also? but from your photo looks like all concrete. looking forward to see your revamp. u got a good budget, i'm sure your place will turn out real nice.gd luck ya! Yupz...its all concrete. I'll see what my ID say this coming monday. Hope for a higher ceiling!Good budget? more like budget bombed..... hehehe this is my first time 'owning' a place mah, so super excited about everything feel that PVC is good enough for drainage area as S/S tend to have marksso either you tolerate the unsightly marks or be hardworking and scrub the covers at least weekly I haven got that feeling yet!!

Iceman 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2007 DAY 8 - 24th DecThe flooring expert came and told us that our level (perhaps the whole block) is tilted to one side! Perhaps a measurement gone wrong when HDB builds it?With all the cement screed gone, we can see that the floor is a slope...very obvious loh! So no choice, got to lay thick cement at the lower end of the slope to balance off and thus the thick cement screed we saw in the pic I took earlier.Today, all the tiles came and Irene/Ken confirm with us the tiling details and how the mosiac runs in the toilets. The mosiacs are indeed a nice edition to the toilets. ;-) Will post a pic once they complete!Workers moving TilesThe tiles still in its packagingThe beautiful pure white homogeneous tiles for my flooringThe toilet tiles and the mosiacsThe sand are moved in.The electrician re-running all the cables......almost all done. Living room,bedrooms and now kitchen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
