wilberforce 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Hi wilberforce,Yup, the trunkings are kinda huge. !! You can refer to pics in my earlier post. Are you getting a system 4 as well? If yes, there are 8 pipings/insulations connected to outdoor unit. The main trunking is about 8” x 4”. The main reason for upgrading to the ½” insulation is to avoid sweating (condensation of the piping) which if happens, could lead to water damage/mold. Iirc, store like Gain City and All Best do not cover sweating in their workmanship warranty. Maybe you would like to check with the sales guy whether your system needs the ½” insulation. Kaypoh abit, how much did you get your system for?Eric has very tight schedule. I had made arrangement for some installation to be done last Saturday but he could not confirm the availability of his workers, no choice had it postponed to tomorrow. His work is ok, not great. My ID had wanted him to conceal the wirings in the new erected wall in the kitchen area but he said cannot be done, I guess too much of trouble. So far so good though. If you are gonna start the work before CNY, I think will be tough. His workers (at least the 4 that did my house) are Malaysians. You could check it out with him.PM you the contact for Eric and the lighting shop.All the best… Hi Sunzhi,Thanks for the pm. Will check out the lights shop n call Eric. Forgot to ask if the $23/pc includes the downlight holder, not just bulb n ballast right? How big is your holder? Some shops tell me 2X18W bulbs cannot fit into 5.5" holder Ya, the sales guy Alvin says 1/2" insulation is better agst condensation so we upgraded. Saw the actual trunking in the shop but didnt think much of it. Now beginning to get worried it will look ugly !! Got my system 4 (1X18k, 3x10k) at $3,865 which includes upgrading to 1/2", 2nd trip, and 1+4 yrs warranty. Edited January 21, 2008 by wilberforce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha.i checked with the painting contractor, he said "rockstone got pattern lor" hehe maybe show your contractor the photos or tell them to spray the ceiling with checkered square/diamond pattern. I like the common bathroom sink. Where did you get it from, and at what price? Thanks!got it from Adamas in Tradehub 21, along Boon Lay Way. Can't remember the exact price as my invoice/sales order is in a lump sum, no break down. I think it's ard $220-$230. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thks. hi jacky,all toilets' stuff from Adamas in Tradehub 21. don't have the individual break-down, iirc, basin is ard $220-$230, the shower mixer is $438 or $458 (had the 2nd head replaced). water sprinkles out from the whole main head, including the 'legs' (i think it's called 'spider'). not just the end, thr are many tiny holes.love the kitchen cabinet too. hob & hood fixed liao, looks pretty ok.tv console not of acrylic nor glossy finish. we chose the mat laminate, kinda like leather. for safety reason, we had a 45 deg edge joint hence not really obvious.reno cost ard $41k n still counting wah the whole quotation ah? need to scan 1st, got like 6 pages send u whn done. not sure abt the piping leh... no mention of it during our discussion. tink the $200 is due to ur 22k unit? ws told by all best thr's free upgrade for ths system in dec (to a 22k, 18k & 2x10k). anyway ws told by gain city no price diff even if we take the original 18k instead of 22k the piping upgrade cost us $80 more..
