Hi Sohck, congrats on your new house and hope to see more pictures soon. Ideal reno quote was indeed attractive and in the midst of choosing now also. May I know who's your ID?

Paid $60 after all the discounts. Description took from Ogawa World:

Spend 90 seconds every day on the OGAWA Yogaflex accompanied by simple yoga poses to allow your legs a good stretch that improves blood circulation. In the long run, OGAWA Yogaflex can adjust X-shaped and O-shaped leg problems, improve standing and sitting posture, create great body curves, stretch nerves and tone the body.

The ***** of the OGAWA Yogaflex can be adjusted to 25, 30 and 35 degrees to achieve different health benefits.

ARE YOU FACING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS?

*

Incorrect standing and sitting postures

*

X-shaped or O-shaped legs

*

Poor blood circulation

*

Constant muscle aches and pains around the waist

*

Obesity

* Stiff shin bones caused by long sitting hours.

WHAT ARE X-SHAPED AND O-SHAPED LEGS?

X SHAPED LEGS

This problem occurs when both legs are bent inwards with the knees close together.

O SHAPED LEGS

This problem occurs when both legs are bent outwards with the knees far apart.

X or O-shaped legs can affect growth and cause spinal distortion, as well as pelvic bone misalignment in women which can trigger period pains and birth complications.

BENEFITS

* Stretch and strengthen muscles.

* Relieve muscle aches and pains.

* Improve blood circulation.

Meeting the ID later at 11am to check the progress and also to make second payment for 40%.

Wife and I both lazy so we leave everything to the ID. So far only went down to the house - but that's requested by the ID to confirm the tiling work.

Went up to the flat to meet the ID to discuss on how we could lengthen the kitchen cabinet a little bit. Took some pictures which follow.

Master bedroom toilet wall - half done. Our MBR toilet will be black and white tiles with square mosaics in between [separating the black and white tiles]. The mosaics are not there yet so the wall looks a little funny now.

The master tiler was laying the kitchen floor tiles when we arrived in the morning just before 11am.

[sohck 0]

Common bathroom's wall tiles are also half-done. We can see that the master tiler is very skillful. He has laid all the big tiles leaving the space for the mosaic. If his measurement is not accurate, the mosaic will not fit properly and that will mean he needs to hack and relay everything.

The drainage for the kitchen basin. Poor guy, we need to shift this one foot to the left and extend 10 cm to the right to make way for a longer kitchen cabinet.
