dyleen 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 hello forkie, You mentioned that you're expecting a total damage of about 50k. Does this includes the carpentry? I love the black tiles for your toilet. But worry the toilet will be dark dark. Saw in magazines before, black tiling done in toilets and it gives a very mysterious and classy effect. Will you be getting black toilet bowl to match?

Yes including Carpentry, Rewiring, Windows, and Air-con. We got 1 black WC and white WC actually. Now thinking if need to swap the black WC to common toilet coz too much black in MBR. Maybe using white WC in MBR to even out the color.... Hmmmm still thinking... The black WC might looks weird in Common toilet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

forkie 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2009 Tiling are done ! Just need some minor touch up on some areas ! Still have no chance check the tiles coz the floor are covered with sheets of cardboard for protection. Currently doing false wall on ceilings and electric wiring. Laminate flooring Pergo will be coming tmr to install my bedrooms. Hope it does turn out well and good ^_^ Add some more pics of the tiles. Kitchen floor Washing Machine Base My wife complaining this is too small. Actually fits well for a front load, but she wana bigger 1 in case we need change a bigger WM later. The tilers can increase the tiles space but.... That stretch with kitchen cabinets, boxed up rubbish chute will not flush with WM anymore. Saded ! So it means everything is even until WM area u see a pop out of the WM haiz....... Cant fight with her on that, she is determined so oh well.... Floortrap Stainless steel trap to match my floor. But my lady dont like this as well.... The steel is not really a thick pc so in future it might dent if keep stepping on it. So she wanted to be replaced with a cheaper pvc white floor trap. I dont really like the white plastic thing so right now i am discussing with my ID if she can lower the trap and have a movable floor tile and make it a conceal trap to over it up.

You may want to consider having grey grouting instead of white, especially for bathroom. If not, after sometime the grouting will turn from white to orange to brown and then to black. You will have a hard time cleaning it with a toothbrush. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
