amrasenelya 1 Report post Posted December 12, 2009 Hi, Your progress of reno seem to be very good too... Dama is a good place to get those plastic/PVC stuff...people there super friendly and helpful...I brought some materials PU board from them to seal up my balcony windows as I am using this small balcony as storeroom. You ask me .which brand of laminate I used...oh yes it is EDL...I have a copy of the catelogue but dunno where I put it liao... Your kitchen cabinets very nice too... Agree with u GR Link service is good...they label there stuff well when delivery the items... In fact in the end, I think I brought more things from them then PJ... keep more photos coming in... thankew danny oh you sourced for the PU board from dama and passed it to ur ID? hehe we also getting alot of laminates from EDL.. Their range for lightly patterned ones are more than Lamitak.. next week will start false ceiling and L-box.. hopefully will move even faster from there so dat i can quickly start cleaning up! haha.. cant stand the dust..

amrasenelya 1 Report post Posted December 12, 2009 check if it's easy to clean oil stains sad, they only have tinted bronze colour.. so prob wont get alr, cus would prob stick out like a sore thumb... the only cheap way is to cover my washing machine with a cloth when its not in use to minimise the oil splatter..

amrasenelya 1 Report post Posted December 14, 2009 Day 22.. L-box and false ceiling in living and dining area up! I was still expecting to see the bone structure.. pleasant surprise! Our flattened bed board partition, and our sealed up original door position with existing door still inside..! We are thinking of doing cement shelf at the shower area, wanted to do a long long one across the orange wall, but i think we'll hit against it quite often... so contractor suggested a 10" by 10" triangle shelf in the position above.... this tiny space, i doubt can put all my barang.. shampoo, conditioner, shower foam, facial foam are the essentials... and this shelf is $120... abit ex.. how how brown cow? if get the glass shelf i scared will drop on feet, and more difficult to clean..

amrasenelya 1 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Day 27.. 1st coat of paint is up.. door frames are painted, bedroom doors are varnished, maindoor repainted too.. no wonder so hard to open the door la! same shade of galaxy for left and right, but left is brighter from the light coming from living room windows.. not too dark! iris white for the other parts of the living room.. we like the slight shade of grey.. hubby with the velvet wall he chose.. turns out nice! funny why one side of the wall is painted, but not the other...
