jjcian 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) LG W/M cum dryer deliveredTeka sink mounted but not yet testedThe 707 heater mounted on the prefabricated wall (haven fix the electrical cable yet) Got a note that instant heaters cannot be mounted on the prefabricated wall but seems like no problem in this case (will scrutinize the workmanship later today).. We stressed to B that our toilet is pre-fabricated wall and he mentioned that it will not be a big problem hence we went ahead with the purchase of the 707 heaters… anyone with problem mounting the instant heater on the wall?Ok, time to now.. good night..

Thanks popeye gal, WTB love it too Not sure if its black tempered glass or tainted mirror, we spoken to B about it and he caught what we were trying to convey to him Yup, living and dining got 7 downlights, but i also have 2 rows of cove lights at the front and back of the living room (near to the windows) and a chandelier above dining table though its not up yet I guess we told B upfront that we'll like to minimise the number of lights in the house so he proposed this design for our lightings which surprisingly is already quite bright, probably due to the mirror reflection... What did your ID proposed? Maybe can give you my 2cents worth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

linksie 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2008 Haha... u guessed it i supposed we are school mates then? u are from which batch? We were a bit skeptical initially too as we are afraid that it'll cause the living room to become very cramp but ID explained that as long as your TV is less than 46", that space will be sufficient already.. but it still boils down to your preference, if you prefer to watch TV from a distance than you may have to reconsider this design? Reading thru the many unfortunate reno experiences here, i guess my ID is OK la my WTB has quite a good rapport with him though recently he is driving her mad Workmanship is alright la... but not without its fair share of problems.. pleasing thing is that he is willing to listen and promises to rectify them before handover btw, u are staying at which blk? and how is your search for ID coming along? starting reno soon? i'm from the '99 batch and my hubby-to-be is from the '96 batch. both from JJC! our block is 677A. how about you?? i'm still waiting for 1 ID to revert with the quotation. we haven't been really looking very hard. find it quite tiring. don't quite gel with the IDs. i told one ID my budget is $X, he came back with a quotation that is exactly $X but didn't include some of the items i wanted!! very irritating.

jjcian 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 Wow I like your shoe cabinet. Is it at the entrance of the door?Hiya, thanks, yup, its at the entrance of the door, just before the kitchen entrance My ceiling layout looked similar to nivlek ceiling layout.OIC, u doing L-box so got alot lights around the Living Room..If u doing false ceiling, maybe able to reduce the number of lights? Probably u can check with your ID? try http://www.picoodle.com/ to upload ur pics? wah ur hse v nice renovated ..but pic too small to enjoy. In love with your bomb shelter feature wall Oh, thanks very much Will try out the new site but seems like ImageShack is ok now and will upload bigger pics for all to enjoy i'm from the '99 batch and my hubby-to-be is from the '96 batch. both from JJC! our block is 677A. how about you?? i'm still waiting for 1 ID to revert with the quotation. we haven't been really looking very hard. find it quite tiring. don't quite gel with the IDs. i told one ID my budget is $X, he came back with a quotation that is exactly $X but didn't include some of the items i wanted!! very irritating.Haha.. so u are my "shi mei" lo.. me and WTB are from 07 batch Oh.. nearby only, we're at 678A Ya, looking for ID quite tedious... gotta keep repeating and repeating.. sometimes if u dun 'click' then no matter what u say they also cannot understand I guess for ID, u need someone who can work within your budget (for the things that you want) and a person u can click with.. hope u find that someone u can trust soon Over the weekend was extremely busy, so went MIA for a while Will be posting some pics of the latest development of our house in a while, stay tuned...

jjcian 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 (edited) Hmm… seems like the ID did something about the mirror after much nagging, hope it turns out fine in the end HHS feature wall gone... Another problem we found, a long deep scratch inside the shoe cabinet!! Wonder how they going to rectify this… Something that we just noticed… the living room tiles that HDB replaced are of a slightly diff color compared to the original tiles!! It was not very obvious during the day but at night when you switched on the lights, it is EXTREMELY obvious!! Hope that they will be able to replace but I seriously doubt so… Gotta extend the completion date liao cos still got lotsa rectifications to be done Edited April 21, 2008 by jjcian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
