SmartFool 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2008 hey ace actually the island false ceiling was done by previous owner so the entire ceiling is not false ceiling just 1 level of false ceiling the PLC light doubles up as cove lighting not sure why the previous owner did it but we just kept it since removing it would have been more troublesome for us eg we have to install new set of lights hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I din understand about that pop up thing you say.. mm ya. agree de tiling is very nicely done. as for the popup waste thingy, i think wat he meant to say is de shower head by right is suppose to be on the right, while dey lay de bathtub in de opp side, n de popup waste is on the left. kinda big mistake? how r dey going to rectify? i doubt u r going to leave them to do not do anything? but does tat mean needing to hack the concrete surrounding the bathtub? n will it damage the bathtub?

mmycheng 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2008 The pop-up waste is fixed at about 1/3 distance from one side of the bathtub. What he meant is that the workers should have installed the bathtub 180 degrees turn from its current position so that pop-up waste is nearer to the wall with the shower head.
