fftw 1 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 Will not if the area underneath are properly sealed with silicon. Likewise for overmount, if properly sealed up, will not leak either. Personally, I feel it's the aesthethic reason that carries more weight here, rather than the water seepage reason. Overmount sink exposes the silicon surrounding lining more, which is prone to getting stained with contaminants after some time. You can ask your contractor to put the silicon under the edges of the sink rather than around the edges of the sink. In Australia, all overmount sink do not have silicon around the edges of the sink. All the silicon is under the edges of the sink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fftw 1 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 Pictures of Bidet Spray Location We truly enjoy working with Dennis When I wanted the bidet spray, he promise me to find out the location & get it done. WHich he did, locate the location of the bidet spray. But since I was a little concern over the hacking of tiles in the bathrooms, Dennis didn't hack the tiles to install the bidet spray. Though I have to confess, he did tell me that its prefectly alright & within HDB regulations to hack the walls to get to the pipes. I was the one who is a little concern about HDB rules & regulations. Finally, yesterday, I told Dennis to go ahead with the hacking & the installing of the bidet spray. Lord & behold, its done... Well kinda done. At least the hacking & beautifying Well done Dennis! and Plumber Pipe for Bidet Spray in the Main Bathroom Close up - Pipe for Bidet Spray in the Main Bathroom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fftw 1 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 Rain SHower "U" Connector I have a few people asking about how I manage to have a rain shower without changing the mixer & what is a "u" connector. As I advise many, go to the shop, look for the person I mentioned in my PM & he will show you how it actually look like. But since I was at the house today (& I finally remembered) I took a picture of the "U" connector. Hope this will clarify all doubts Main Bathroom While in the car, my hubby reminded me that the main bathroom "U" connector & the common bathroom "U" connector is different. Alamak! So now, I will need to go back to the house (most likely this weekend), to take another picture of the common bathroom "U" connector. So all those waiting for the picture, please be a little more patient... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More Lighting - Living & Dining More lights are up when I took photos today, but I see a "hole" in the cove lighting in the living room. Is it just me or do you see the same thing? this happens when the tubes are spaced out. if you don't want the gap, you need to put the tubes together with no gaps in between. but one corner will have a bigger gap.

They will clean the bathrooms & most likely clean out the grouting (part of my chemical wash) prior to handing over the house. If they don't, will get them to clean it during the "touch up" session. Thanks for pointing it out! I spoke to Dennis about the "hole". I don't have "holes" in the rest of my lighting so was a little concern. Apparently, the electrician didn't buy enough light tubes. But this will get sorted out sometime this week. So I am cool about it The white "thing" on the left is my marbel shelf. Its not really that close to the taps but in the picture it looks really deceiving close! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fftw 1 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) I Punch the Holes on the Wrong Side My fiasco with sinks continue ... Originally, the plan was for the dish drainer to be placed on the right side as seen from the picture below. However, when Dennis tried it out today, its bad news all around. If you place the sink with the dish drainer on the right side, there is no space below to place my dish washer because of the bloody drainage pipe!!!. If we place the dish drainer on the left side nearer to the yard door, the space at the bottom is swee, swee. Now the problem is that I have "cut" two holes in the sink. One for the tap & the other is for the soap dispenser!!! Let in the picture below. The "hole" for the tap is on the right side & "hole" for the soap dispenser is one the "left". So now I have no choice but to buy another sink So I am now seeking your help... I will like to sell the sink at 50% discount. A totally unused sink at $80. The good news is that the "holes" are generic. In other words, any taps may be fixed into the "hole" for the tap. And you may buy the Rubine soap dispenser from Poh Joo at around $30. Please PM me if you will like to buy my sink or know of anyone who might be interested. The dimensions are as follows: - Thanks a million!!!
