Good News to know that the ugly pillar (now I know it is called stiffener) can be hacked. Will go down tonight to see if it is hacked already. Tiling should have also begun yesterday.

Yesterday, contractor brought me to a very lok pok shop at Bukit Panjang to buy toilet and kitchen stuff (i.e. basins, sinks, WCs).

Price cheaper than those Hoe Kee , Sim Siang Choon at IMM.

Spent $880 in all!

Hi! Went down to Balestier to shop for lights today.

After walking into many shops, we ended up buying from STRASS Lightings because the prices seemed much lower. However, after coming back and viewing the forums, seems that that is many negative comments on them!

I bought $430 worth of items from them which includes

- 2 nos of round lights for kitchen

- 2 nos of rectangular lights for 2 bedrooms

- 2 nos of smaller rectangular lights of 2 bathrooms (similar to bedroom ones, except smaller

- 8 nos of 13w x 2 round downlights for living room (he quote $15 per pc)

`

I am pretty worried abt all the comments but my hubby says as long as the shell (the light itself) is ok, the bulbs (even if lousy quality) can be replaced.

I hope he is right!! As for their service and delivery, i have to cross my fingerS and pray it is ok.

Hai, pillar in the middle of the house still cannot hack. HDB request for PE endorsement which means I have to pay another $650. In process for about 1 week already, so hopefully can pass by next week. Contractor seems quite confident can passed though. If cannot, means the whole layout have to be changed.

hi sanpokchubby..

great to see ur reno process is progressing quite well...

juz a note: the fridge base looks slanted to me.. not sure if it is because of the photo angle..

Yup, I also think so.

Other than that, everything is progressing well I believe.

the angle itself is not a 90 deg angle... think it is more than 90 deg, hence, look slanted. My place is full of odd angles
