madcat 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 WA... and suddenly reno is almost completed already? hahahaha... must been really a smooth sailing one for you. really happy for you! hahah.. eyes a bit auto cue now to air con pipings and trunkings cause seemingly tough to hide it at my new place. all are concrete beams above my doors can you imagine! so jus wanna ask, where is the aircon piping? My ID plan all the blower on top of bed room doors to minimize the aircon pipe trunking. Besides Bed Room 3, the other 2 bed rooms and study room with very minimum exposing piping. Here is the details: Aircon condenser is located at Bed Room 2 window Bed room 3 got a lot piping Piping links to MBR was boxup at Bedroom passageway Study Room piping was consealed into partition for glass door: the kitchen turned out alright indeed! pipings are already a thing in the past now! haha can i ask also, if the blum drawers and runners are under your ID package or you buy seperately? what's the damage? They are under my ID package. so I did not know their price if buying seperately. all in all, everything is all spanky clean and neat! Yeah.. We are quite pleased with the Reno so far. Though there are some minor touchups, I think it is normal for any reno. In fact, both my wife and I are quite easy going person. Probably that's why~ LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanax 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 You need to choose a centralized location to be your network hub in order to setup LAN network at home. For my case, I choose my study room to be the network hub, where my router will be. I asked my electrician to wire up CAT 6 network cable in all 3 of my bed rooms and living area, which will link up with 4 network points in the study room. So as long as I connected all 4 network points in study room with router, I can access to internet through wired connection from 3 bed rooms and living area. hi madcat, did your electrician advise you if u'd exceed 15m for fibre installation? As you maybe aware ON installation is only free for the 1st 15m after which is $33 for every 5m & your living room is pretty massive especially if you're gona run it along the perimeter to terminate in your study. I'm also considering terminating at my study, & i'll probably end up paying for the additional length, maybe $66 but definitely less than $99. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where do you store your big wok, pots and pans? In the drawers under the hob? Yes.. Glass backing for the whole kitchen. errr.. i do not know what you mean by special design.. because I am not particular about the corner area. normally I will store those items not required to access regularly. As for wok, ports and pans, there are plenty of big drawers or stroage with pull down or casement door. we choose pull-down door under the hob. Hope it helps, matrix0405.

I'm also considering terminating at my study, & i'll probably end up paying for the additional length, maybe $66 but definitely less than $99. I understand what you mean. In fact, I can choose either to terminate opennet access point **** room or study room. If it terminates **** room, I just need to connect it to the LAN point **** area and then connect my router's uplink to the respective LAN socket in my study room. But if device **** room requires direct connection, I will choose to terminte it at my study room. Anyway, my study room and living room are just different side of the wall. So I don't think the actual distance will differ much btw study room and living room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL I hope you are not talking about the irritating pipes that I have to boxup Err. why excluding the blum system? I think it will not add a lot into the total cost, right? it's worth the additiona cost if you can afford Especially when you got kids at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madcat 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2010 hi madcat, nice reno done.. thinking of having some glass partitions for my reno as well... Thanks mafacifa. The reason why i choose glass door and glass partitions is my dining area is between studyroom and kitchen. There is no windows nearby, so have to use glass to make the dining area brighter. In fact my wife was quite worried whether this idea is practical or not. But the end result is quite OK imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
