annjoy 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 I went to get my toilet accessories at what I hope, is at a **** good discount. And called the ID and asked him when should the delivery be. ID said "十多号 lor" We were like: "十几号?" ID said: "13th then" God help me. I hope he knows whats going on. I was then reflecting on this whole situation and thought, hey wth, he didnt tell me I should go buy my accessories already (cos previously I asked him when should I buy it and he said he'll let me know when the time comes). I wonder when he was intending to tell me. -.- Tmr, I am going to be contacting movers + changing the delivery date for all my newly bought items. ID has confirmed that I can move my stuff in there by the 18th. Again, I am crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. Dropped by the place earlier and found some workers measuring the floor. I asked them when will work start and they say dunno, see whether tmr got man power a not lor. -.- omigosh. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annjoy 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 err i actually believe that tiling takes quite a fair bit of time, judging from my reno work progress. mine is just overlaying of kitchen n yard floor tiles + 2 toilets floor n wall tiles also took abt 2weeks to complete wor. so i'd say its quite possible that urs is a 3weeks job. n in any case, we owners r at losing end, cos if we go n rush/ hurry them, they'll do a sub-standard job but anyway its a joyous season, so just be merry n drink more! Oh is it... 2 weeks huh.. but mine 4 days never do any work liao. ya I completely agree. before we sign on the dotted lines, they are the prey. once we sign, we're the prey. No fun one! haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

macbart 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 Hi Macbart, of course not. Do come often. Haha! Cos I always peep at your Tblog too! Which I haven't updated in a while. Cleaning-packing-cleaning-moving-cleaning-unpacking-cleaning-unpacking... has been rather tiring. It's been a week since we moved in... and I'm hoping we can be fully unpacked and settled in by next week. The hob is a 2 burner already... I guess between the two burner got some space also not too bad. The sink - yes, I will definitely be looking at something smaller. Was staring at my measuring tape last nigth and realised 0.9m is **** big la haha! Yeah, I guess it is good to have space between the burners. And yes, you're right. 0.9m is large! We bought a single-bowl sink that's 795mm... and we're discovering that we hardly use even half of it on a regular basis. I guess we could really have chosen a 600mm sink instead.

Hi ossify, Hmm my lobang is actually a friend whose friend used to run a shop selling all these toilet/kitchen accessories along upper serangoon road and has since closed down recently. So he has a lot of stock that he is selling real cheap. I dunno how much is the actual price yet cos the owner wasnt ard when i went. I noticed only the listed "retail" price which is the normal price you see everywhere lor. But he will of course give a **** good discount cos he is clearing stock + he has no more showroom, the displays he have in his storeroom are dusty and the place is hot etc etc... bottom line is, he is clearing stock at a low price. Can't be too picky too though. Not a lot of variety. I show you some shortly. Let me go upload it ** Yes reno wont be complete. Initially told to him was, he will finish tiling + plumbing + electricity by 15 Jan. Then I move in. Carpentry can then take place after that. Yes, it will be dusty but its okay.

Haha Ok I got this sink, single bowl @ 0.54m - a, kinda pleased cos now I have more space!!! 4M long kitchen space to play with: 0.8m - allowance for fridge (my ideal fridge is going to be 0.7m in width) 0.55m - space between fridge and sink 0.55m - size of sink (actual is 0.54m) 0.8m - space between sink and cooker 0.8m - size of cooker hob (won't be having any oven underneath the cooker) 0.5m - space between sink and wall Does anybody know what's the typical width/height a kitchen drawer should be?
