Rasp 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2009 Good Morning Seashell, Welcome~~ Your layout is really very challenging. Both your bathrooms look pretty big. My reno started on 29/July. Quite close to your date. We also hoping that the reno will end soon, cant wait to move in. But thinking of the cleaning before that, make me think otherwise.

Uncle wun charge you for anything ba. *hugs* hi pink! didn't see u in ah soon thread for some time...! actually i m more worried of, delayed HO due to rectification of the tiles. PLUS, my neighbours around can't really tolerate renovation noise... ALSO, uncle will LOSE money if he got to hack off everything and relay again... cus the floor tiles are of the same quality so will have the same problem... as a side note, i heard from one of his team people, uncle always do alot of free things until he is not earning much liao... i feel bad cus uncle initially don't want to do the floor tiles as the measurement is 44cmx44cm, now added the stain problem...

I thought since I am doing only on 1 panel of the wall and the floor, it shouldn't cost much... (didn't do my sums correctly -totally mesmerized by the tiles-- it looks very nice in the showroom!!) I will take a pic n post up later... Edited September 4, 2009 by seashell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erm.. I also got a super longish common bathroom. We changed the entrance of it to open at the middle and now it look so much better. We didn't do a vanity at the common as mine is super longish + narrow. So we just mount a wall-hung basin so as not to make the space even narrower. Look quite ok to us. Wow.. then you must really start the chasing. According to my hb, my carpentry will be up next week. Is yours fabricating at the factory already? Must chase chase.
