Our Small Small But High High Nest @ Toa Payoh

[mi lOr 0]

Always look more like a house after getting a fresh coat of paint. But just a query, y deliver ur washing machine so early when most of ur reno still in progress? Concern is that ur contractor may accidentaly damage it or knock into it. Worst is it may get stolen as ur estate still new, a lot of people doing reno, a lot of people walking in and out.

i'm being 'forced' to rceive the item. this is because i saw this on offer in ntuc and its even cheaper than those neighbourhood electrical shop so i fast hand fast leg place order. initially they promised that i can keep it till end of may but one day after i buy they call me up and say can only keep for one month max..

i thought about what u say also and thats why its still in its original packaging till now. will only open when everything is ready.

31-may-08 - renovation after week 8

its so fast that we are already in the 8th week of the renovation.. time really flies..

after a one week break of no photos, this week finally we see some major progress!

this week's progress:

a. curtains up

b. lights up

c. painting done

d. racks for household shelter up

master bedroom

master bedroom again

another angle

master toilet

bedroom 2 - gf's favorite

another angle

bedroom 3

another angle

passageway to bedrooms

living room

another angle

yet another angle

kitchen

common bathroom

household shelter

foyer

three problems i found:

a. the two way switches are connecting to the wrong lights!

b. the foyer lights seems not to be in-line with the living. its ok that the electrician is correct to align in the middle, but when the household shelter feature wall is here, it will be off the mid-line! why did the contractor inform him that there will be a household shelter?!?!

c. why didn't the contractor inform me that if i add additional switches i cannot have it embedded as well? he should have the courtesy to inform me of such for me to decide whether i want or not mah...

hmmm... the contractor owes me a reply..

thanks NiVleK~ pretty satisfied with the curtains. got them all from jimmy textiles. yup, all are roman blinds

how much did u spent on lights? I saw many downlights u have there.

i got a total of 13 downlights for the living room. total cost to light up the whole house is about $900. i bought my lights from 3 shops in all as i found out that no single shop is cheap for all kinds of lights.

hey, just notice you bought mistral heater. I also have a mistral heater but not the same model. The only thing about it is that its supposed to give you hot water according to the sales person. However after installing the mistral heater, i find that got to really adjust the water pressure to really low then can get hot/warm water.

So better check if the mistral heater will produce hot water in high-low water pressure if you're particular about the water pressure when showering.

its my first time using mistral water heater as well so i'm not sure how good it is. even my current water heater at home can only give good water temperature when not running full so i guess its a constraint of such product. just got to live with it i guess
