kthc 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2009 Thanks, reno completed, now just hanging around looking for ideas for water fountain and a home theater set. For the horizontal bars, do note the size of your commonly used bottles, give a little more space for your hand to go in to press the bottle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adrian_john 1 Report post Posted August 25, 2009 Didn’t meet Yeak’s brothers till the carpentry started, both quite nice, the eldest one looks like a old Hong Kong actor, pretty funny too. Don’t forget about your wardrobe too, seems easy enough but you or your wife may like specific heights and plan for drawers and such. My wife & I drew out our own wardrobe, with measurements but my wife didn’t want my input and happy happy put in dimensions which turned out too high or large for her stuff, had to call Yeak to take out and change some things (when everything is completed) but not all things can be changed, so she’ll have to live with it. Copied the TV console design from a picture in a magazine, hide all the electrical points inside but his man blur blur, go and drill the hole for the wires a little off the centre so now if you sit in the centre of the sofa, you’ll see the bunch of wires quite off the centre of the tv. I haven't met the older brother as yet. The one we met on Saturday was the younger one. I think he also look like an old HK Actor - Like Chow Yuen Fatt's bodyguard in the first 'Dou San (Du Shen)' movie. So far, the good thing is that Yeak and his brother always gives good, practical suggestions and solutions. And they're always very patient in explaining and suggesting to my wife a nicer kitchen layout and how and where to put which drawer or what other items. I stay clear and just observe because its her 'territory'. We'll be having another 'long' meeting again this Saturday to discuss the other carpentry works.

PJ, I think adding power points after reno is not a problem. So long as you're not fussy about seeing trunking around the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PJ, can added pwr points even now and they’ll need to tap from another pwr point but like Adrian said, there’ll be some trunking involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rasp 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2009 Hi Rasp, Probably too late but here a picture of the kerb for the top hung bi-fold door. Hi kthc, Thanks for picture. We have leveled the kerb for the bi-fold. Seeing yours affirms our decision. The renovated pictures of your house look good. Your blue backing at the kitchen is a fresh thing. I have not seen any RT blog with blue glass backing for kitchen. Its very original and . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PNC 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2010 Just breezed through your reno- looks really good- gives me confidence in Mr Yeak's ideas- how much did it cost to do your toilets (like the cement ledge- coz the metals oens tend to rust and can't contain a lot) and kitchen (really love the pull out table idea!)

kthc 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Hi All, been a real long time since I've logged in here... Didn't realised so many PMs, sorry if I missed replying to any. I believe you'll be able to find Yeak's contacts from the rest still here and good luck. Been a great experience having him and will continue to recommend him to my family and friends too. Only thing I've heard that he's still so busy;) May need to look for some minor stuff like window grills and such soon, so just popping back into this forum for more ideas.
