Raven & Starz's Rumah Kecil~

[angel_with_an_attitude 0]

Hi Happy/Raven

I dont think its necessary for the wall to be 1m. My washing machine is quite big and tall (more than 1m) and including the base, it will be close to 1.1m. So I have asked my ID to make the height of the wall 1120mm (1.12m) which is exactly the height of the beige tiles on our kitchen wall. I am sure they can adjust to what we require since we are the home owners!

Angel

I also find no logic why the short wall should be at 1m (kitchen area).

It is up to our owner to decide.

Just pay the top up loh.

Sometimes I have been wondering certain things can be done but id/contractors just want the easy way out.

Tadah~ our storage heater is nicely fixed onto the wall... its a Joven 25L heater... we tested the water after it was installed... not bad... just tt how come it is only connected to one switch in common toilet but not to the switch in master toilet as well? it means tt i have to go kitchen to turn on the storage heater before i go shower in master toilet... will be asking the shop ppl to settle it... if not, dun pay them the full sum!

I like the way the trunking runs... they did a nice job inside the house... though outside, on the aircon ledge, there was a crack at the ceiling cuz of the drilling of holes i think... we did ask them to fill in the gap... but there is obviously a white patch... do we need to paint it back huh?

took a snap of the stuffs being moved in by the workers on saturday...

this was one of the proposed design for our kitchen... and we chose this eventually out of the rest... hopefully our kitchen turns out as nice as the picture...

*time out for me to slp*

Hi Rav

yes yes! good fridge! my hubby loves the ice maker inside the fridge.....we also wanted a silver/stainless steel fridge as our kitchen is supposed to be black cabinets and silver electrical items to give a contrast i bought at Gaincity because I wanted the extended warranty la... actually Hong Liang at Alexandra offered $740 but they dun have extended warranty, i was abit worried as the fridge comes with the panel in front and am afraid it might spoil fast so decided to buy at gaincity so that can get the extended warranty.

Some quick update with pics...

false ceiling and false wall done...

skirting in progress...

coming up next, very very soon: painting and installation of lightings!

Hi RAV

Just to share lah.

For installation of lights, better leave it to the later stage especially your wardrobe or features wall or any cabinet has no yet install.

What I am afraid is that the carpenter might accidentally knock on your lights. So, better to let all the carpentry works done before install the lights.

Anyway, it is up to individual lah. Why I say this is that I sw my neighbours light crack at the living room!

Hi Happy,

Thanks a lot for the advice!

Hmm... this schedule was suggested by my contractor though... maybe later I'll make sure he promise to pay me back if his guys crack my lights, hehe...

Somemore i dun have that many carpentry though (in fact only kitchen cabinet).. mostly buying from outside... and most of my lights are downlights, except 2 common bedrooms flat lights and dining table light, so shld be quite safe...?

Happy, u'r surely very busy... never see u update ur t-blog anymore? how's ur reno going so far?

--from melting_starz--

last saturday when i visited my new house, the painting was already done... i think the colours we chosen are not so bad... but the painting quality is not so good... can see many defects... like dripping paint dried up in a corner, uneven painting etc... already complained and hopefully as promised, they will touch up nicely after other things are done... will post the pics once uploaded...

lighting people are very busy... they promised to do it by last saturday but it was dragged till sunday till monday and finally installed today... some of the downlights are installed slightly slanted... feel like to ask them to straighten it for us... the foyer dun look very nice with one downlight installed... haiz, thinking of changing to another light... maybe the icecube that i bought for the bedroom area just outside toilet... they also installed the ceiling fan for us... but i realised its the wrong colour! i wonder if the lighting shop can change for us... we insisted on gunmetal colour and i dunno how it become silver colour? somemore at point of installation, we were both at work... its already hanging at our ceiling how? but its not the one we wanted...

kitchen cabinets are up... minus the solid surface top... the workmanship was not very ideal... the side trimmings are terrible, with lotsa jagged sides... the drawers dun look very sturdy... haiz... the quality is not there i feel... though i tot the overall kitchen looks rather nice in the picture tt i took using hp... i hope this kitchen can last me long long...

its a boring entry with lotsa words... awaiting the picture upload from ravenski...
