poseidon_gal 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 took some pictures today... my mum keep saying " everything soo white..next time don't know how you going to clean" hahaha white white then nice mah.. i like my whole house to be bright.. They already laid the kitchen floor tiles.. so I dont have a chance to take a peep at my common toilet wall tiles.. My off-white kitchen floor tiles with my stainless steel pinky rubbish chute.. just a protective layer.. The workers have yet to build the cabinet base.. MBR toilet wall tiles.. very white too lay the tiles horizontally to make the area look bigger The red mosaic tiles not up yet.. think the effect will look like smallboy's toilet.. Realise the workers have yet to put any grout therefore the black lines are very obvious.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My studyroom, 1 bedroom and the living room all came with little window as its a corner unit. We sealed it up since wont need the windows. I remembered my parent's MBR has it but we also didnt open it and the contractor who came to do the rivets back in 2005 told my parents that its not necessary to spent $ to change the rivets since not opening it.

poseidon_gal 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 It is not easy for both Mr J and I to monitor the reno progress.. both of us are working and we can only go down to see during the night.. the only consolation is our new nest is a stone throw away from where i am currently staying so travelling is minimum.. difficult to spot check as well.. Reno progress.. the windows are up... very fast.. i very scare my white powder coated window frame will be scratch/dirty..why they put up the window soo fast???? white powder coated window frame with blue tinted window..casement type for the whole house.. paisey cannot see the blue tinted window from the photo..due to my horrible photo taking skill.. Both toilets window also up.. given clear glass window..my current house is using black tinted glass window.. i wonder if black tinted glass will look better..hmmm Kitchen cabinet base also done...together with my washing machine base.. not doing fridge base..my fridge will be placed next to my cabinet near to my kitchen entrance.. thinking should i get a left side opening fridge..hmmm..

poseidon_gal 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 face some problems.... already feedback to darren.... my 1st set of problem ( more to come.... ) Told darren that i want kerb around my balcony water pipe.. but i think the workers forgot to do that or darren forgot to tell the worker.. end up no kerb... I want the common toilet bi-fold door to flush together with my kitchen wall.. but i think based on what i see it won't be flush.. it will be flush with the toilet wall instead.. hmmm shd i insist for it to flush with the kitchen wall???

Both toilets window also up.. given clear glass window..my current house is using black tinted glass window.. i wonder if black tinted glass will look better..hmmm thou i didn't change the windows, but they put up the window grilles very early... most of my friends who heard of this say how come its done in the early stage of reno... dono hw they plan the job.... when i see ur window, it reminds me of the problem with the opaqueness at my hse... coz its new flat, so the layout is such that the ppl upstairs can see the shadow of the person using the toilet downstairs... very bad design... still haven get down to solving this problem...

poseidon_gal 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 hengz.. i dont think my upstair neighbour can see my toilet.... I also wonder why they change the windows at such an early stage.. the only self conclusion i can come up with is..they need to cement/plaster the gap left behind by the new windows thus need to put it up early..
