lohwl2000 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2009 Hi MTLot, Welcome and congrats on your new place! We also ran cat6 wiring for all my four rooms + living room. Think should be quite useful. We didnt conceal the trunking/casing. For ease for future repairs/ maintanance. Hee.. Can all of you enlighten me, why you still install the Cat 6 cable when you can have wireless running around the house without laying any cables? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers I have tried wireless, very often low signal, that's why decided to go ahead with LAN. Cat6 can support the new 1G broadband from the new company forget wats their name, who is currently laying fibre optic cables all around singapore.

Hi MTlot, If you want to plaster that area to remove the bulge area, do indicate to your contractor that the plastering is to remove the bulge. Because for some contractors, their 'understanding' of plastering is just to smooth out the wall and not 'even' out the wall. Some will tell you that the wall cant be 'even' out since the wall original condition is already uneven and to even out, need to put alot of plaster at some spots which is not possible as the plaster will crack. Actually I didnt notice the bulge until blackcar pointed it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did assured me he will try the best to cover up everything. We'll have to wait to see the outcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTlot 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2009 Hows the design like? No 3D drawings I suppose? So for contractor you will go and choose the tiles yourself? Yeah, he's a contractor and not ID so no 3D drawings. All depends on me for the ideas and he'll do his best to match what i want. So mething good bou't this guy is he will give a lot of suggestion too be it on the cost saving side or on the reno works. For the tiles he bought us to the warehouse to get the tiles and he have a lot of ideas but beyond my budget. I get to choose the tiles but i give him freedom to do both my toilets. I'll go take some pics later and post here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
