Hee.. Yeah she's happy with the room. Well for the depth i thot is standard 2 ft? Though may be more since have to cover the air-con window. Will check and get back to you. Cos i'm oso curious.

There's only 2 sliding doors. Very big (4ft long x 8 ft tall). My contractor very nice gave me a 2 ft wide sliding mirror inside the wardrobe, so there will be 3 tracks on the wardrobe. Will take photo later to show you more.

Kari, i had reservations abt using white non-gloss laminate also, i scare it will turn black w dirty hands. but ya, heck it 1st, nice nice now. if turn dirty next time then chge!

Anyway, i kept my aircon controller so no one can use my aircon. There was an incident i specifically taped my MBR WC, wrote "do not use" and they still use it... for big biz n nvr flush cleanly! from then on, i nvr wanna trust those workers again. Last wkend someone just spoilt my bidet spray pipe becos they nvr turn off the valve. *angry*

Hee thanks mrspiglet being the same supporter for white laminate lol. Well my aircon remote control is not even in the house. It may turned out that the aircon really auto on cos of the faulty electronic control tat activate the sensor or watsoever.

The water leaking is cos there'a a plastic cover protecting the aircon so the cold air cannot escape. Anyway the faulty electronic control is changed.

Just that there's this emergency on/off button that the technican cannot confirm whether it's being pushed too hard by someone who turned it on or that during installation the air-con was knocked, causing the button to be stuck inside the air-con. Lucky the button not broken off, if not I sure scream. how to replace!

As for the workers using the bathroom, I guess maybe urgent, so cannot wait. lol. But ur bidget spray how? i mean if they deny how to claim back the repair costs?

I measured the depth of the wardrobe. The one for putting clothes is 21" (53 cm), if not the clothes will be crumpled when you hang your clothes. The depth from wall to wardrobe door is 29.5" (75cm / 2.5ft). It's deeper cos of the gap btw the air-con ledge window and the back of the wardrobe. Then another space used up for the sliding track.

See whether you can understand from the photos. Can you see how much space is used up cos of the 3 sliding tracks (for 2 doors and 1 mirror)]

then this is the top tracks the white one for the mirror and the top black one for the 2 doors. This is a close up of the top 2 door tracks.

Hee, the white flowery laminate is the most well done piece of carpentry in my entire house! Glad we both went w the gut feelings.

How come the aircon will auto turn on? Even if it had sensor, someone must have turned on the compressor switch. I think u better turn off the switch for the moment in case ur flooring gets wet again?

Toilet.. urgh. They can use my common toilet for all they want! but they choose to do big biz in my 1pc WC. argh.

You mean the main switch? I think got turned off. Later go double check again.

I think cos you pasted the notice there, make it more tempting for one to break the rules. Guess you jus have to speak to their supervisor or your contractor that you dun want this to happen again lo.

Oh alright. cos we're getting wardrobe too but mom wants it to take up the entire wall at the door and the door limits our depth as IDs have suggested to have it all in one length so it looks nicer. we're kinda worried that it will be too shallow for our clothes.

i see you opted for sliding doors but we're going for swing so we have full access of the wardrobe when doors are open plus it is cheaper! for your wardrobe, did u tell them how u wanna install the interiors? as in the different sections etc?

How does the door limit ur depth? Sliding doors for small space like mine Actuali you can check with ur ID. Sometimes some IDs willing to give you sliding doors at no additional charge. A matter of negotiation and of course how much biz you give them.

Yup. I design the interior myself. The capenter did the measurements based on my drawing. He jokingly say that I very 'wu liao' haha. But then I really put in alot of effort. Open up all my present wardrobe, look inside at the things that I have, so I want to organize my stuff neatly instead of piling everything together like a mountain of rubbish. I oso took measurements of the gaps between each shelves! Cos standard off the shelf shelves' gap is 1 ft (30cm) which I hate. Cos when you put too many stacks of clothes to maximize this 1 ft space, it becomes so difficult to find ur clothes. So I prefer a smaller gap so I only can put few clothes (smaller stack).

My ugly kitchen. I dunnoe whether I want to regret taking grey. It looks so much like blue.

Holes for my Cuozino hob and Franke double basin.
