ngunadi 2 Report post Posted March 25, 2010 Reno - day 10 - 18th March 2010 MBR Toilet - Shower Area Initially the shower area was not correct. This one is already fixed. The tiles placements were not correct, there was a miscomm between us and our contractor. We wanted to put the white tiles "vertically". But since the damage is done, oh well. We'll live with it. Kitchen - Missing Patch We hacked away the previous half-height wall. And we couldn't find the similar tiles for its size (33x33). So, I decided to get a similar tiles with different size (30x30). Hence, the different grouting. Most probably, we'll cover it with some rug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strangely, the house "feels" better once the partition is up. Effect of fengshui or self-fulfilling prophecy ? Anyway, I want to change the door color to lighter brown, totally dislike the current brown black color (you can see in the background from the picture above). But if we paint the door, it won't be nice. Anyone has a suggestion for this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clementi_PR 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2010 Did you ask the contractor to redo the mismatch tile? I dont think it will cost a lot, since it was only couple meter2 only. Try to ask, how knows they will absorb the cost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try to ask, how knows they will absorb the cost Erm ... the mismatch tiles are the whole toilet wall tiles. So, including hacking and tiles cost, it's alot. The kitchen tiles are meant to be like that. No other choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gimz63251073 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2010 gain city having any promotion now? Last i heard was free extended warranty. heard the gain city @imm is the most competitive? duno how true that is. Now considering where i should get mine from, any tips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ngunadi 2 Report post Posted March 26, 2010 Well ... i got my aircon during the expo promotion. We never bother to check at other gaincity because too many things to handle, so rather to just go with what's there. And luckily that's a good thing for us. After our purchase, we changed our mind 2x regarding the air-con setup, so having the outlet is near to our place is helpful. We just go back there and change the purchase. It's also easier if you need to go to the outlet to give pressure to the sales-rep for any issues u might encounter. For us, we pressurize them to have early installation date. Three weeks are definitely way too long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if we paint the door, it won't be nice. Anyone has a suggestion for this? I'm assuming you want it to look varnished in a lighter shade of brown... It's quite a challenging task. Need to use the varnish/paint(remover), Clean off the remover with mineral spirits, bleach, dry, sandpaper, then restain or varnish. Or simply ask your contractor. A particular ID advised me not to change my door if it is fireproof cause quite ex... Also think lighter brown will be nice, current one like ore lu lu...
