Honeygal 1 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 wanted a smaller version of this for my living room but lighting shop only had this size. so bought it anyway - too lazy to shop around. $180. still find it too big. should the light be a little lower? pleasant floral tiles for common toilet to 'cheer up' the dreary place where i do my manual laundry: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zeegi 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 My Kitchen about 5 ft space for my baboo only so its pretty short... so i am considering buying a aluminium baboo whereby can be extended when i hang out and shorten to 5 ft when required to hang indoor,anyone here tried before?! Any suggestion are welcome! thanks! Hi Rondy, I bought 1 extendable bamboo and it ended up so heavy at the end of the pole that it'll bend slightly when I hang it outside. Although I manage to spread a few t-shirts on the pole, it's too heavy and just ridiculously long. So in the end I still use the shorter version Maybe I don't have much strength.. so u can buy 1 and try first. After all u can still use it inside your home if you encounter same problem as me.

ponytail 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 Master bedroom cabinet and light ($120 from A Lighting) installed. Not entirely thrilled by the floral laminates, that was my second choice anyway. Anyone thinks the light is installed too high, or just right (note that there will be a queen size bed beneath it)? Actually find your this laminate quite nice.

Castle 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Sorry honeygal, to tobang your blog. Anybody using this laundry system, can give comment please. As most of the time my mum is using it so I want to buy somthing that is easy for her to use. Although this system is able to control individual pole, I just wonder is it easy to lift it up when there is a load of wash on it. Anybody try this?

Although this system is able to control individual pole, I just wonder is it easy to lift it up when there is a load of wash on it. Anybody try this? I considered this one, but I felt it would be messy to use because each pole is controlled by a set of pulley & cable. So if you have 4 poles, you have 4 sets of pulley & cables hanging down from 1 side. Quite unsightly, to have so many strings dangling down. However, compared to the one I got (refer to my post earlier), where a single pulley controls 4 poles, less energy required to raise and lower individual pole.

Will take note of your point. Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honeygal 1 Report post Posted February 19, 2009 Very much a white-black theme flat. Very safe, as i am not much of an Interior Designer and do not quite know how to mix and match colours creatively. Kitchen cabinets up. Flooring & cabinets have not been cleaned yet. Disappointed that the black floor tiles are not as glossy as i thought: Common toilet bath accessories up: Study room book cabinet. Just installed and not cleaned yet. Third choice of laminates, so i believe it would have looked better if carpenter had allowed me to go with my first choice: Matching laminate study table. Didn't need the 3 drawers but carpenter said it's the same price regardless of whether there are drawers or not. So naturally, i asked for the drawers. Quite expensive $350.

Is the black & shiny kitchen floor slippery? slippery only when there are puddles of water. i hardly fry food, so am not worried about grease. as in any other similar glossy tiles, got to be careful when mopping. thrilled that reno is completed!! now anxiously awaiting dates for 'xie tu' and move-in. will get all furniture & electrical appliances delivered on the same day next week. in the meantime, still tearing my hair out over which laundry drying system to choose. all seems too heavy for me. help!!!
