Looking for good contractors? Click here for your request

went to Hansgrohe and Nam Wah today, last day of their 25% and 20% discount respectively.

Bought shower and tap mixer for MBR shower and MBR sink respectively from Hansgrohe.

Went to Nam Wah today, but my WC is 6", S-pipe, very hard to find :( all the wall-mount WCs requires P-pipe. Saw some tap mixers at Nam Wah, seems as expensive as my Hansgrohe (was rather shocked)

Please help me look out for suitable WCs... think I need to visit Hoe Kee at IMM soon.

Also was told to get my doors installed by next week. We shall see how that turns out :D

met a sales rep from Panggiap today, decided to get a $280 top-hung silver bi-fold door with white acrylic panels for my common door toilet and a $380 silver swing door with grey acrylic panel for my mbr door. sales rep says that we must finish doing the finishing before we can do site measurement, oh well, won't be done by next week :D

met a electrician to discuss on my wiring, was quoted $1200 for labour charge (i supply wires, casing, db box, switches, etc) to install 9 lights, 5 ceiling fan, 1 db box, 1 scv, 2 internet rj45, 2 phone rj22, 1 aircon 15A, 6 double socket 13A, 1 3-gang, 3 2-gang, 2 1-gang, 2 heater.

That first ceiling fan is unique! What's the brand and how much does it cost?

ossify, any particular theme to your home? I think I saw the 2nd fan in other t-blog also. It looks gd!

Personally, I think if you want ppl to focus on your ceiling, then 1st choice. If you want a cool color ceiling, then 2nd design I think will be more suitable. 1st choice will be gd if your living room is not vibrant in color term. The bold red will help to inject some character into the living space.

But after so much nagging, I will go for the 1st one. Unique!
