alister 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 aiyo...how come suddenly i read my nickname??? btw, can i just check if any of you going to use alumix system for wardrobe??? that day i went to strawberry_pear's house, i see the wardrobe is the custom-made kind but it's not what i wanted...because the area for the wardrobe in my mbr has that square aircon window so if it's better for me to use alumix kind of wardrobe because it uses the wall as its backing and the floor will be the floor in the mbr...in short, they just install the poles, shelves and doors...it can save me space and at least i can make use of the space at the stupid aircon window too...if i do a normal wardrobe, i can't cover the aircon window, thus, i will need to have a smaller wardrobe....i dunno if anyone can understand what i wanna say anot....hahaha...anyway, do IDs do alumix kind of wardrobe??? i'm also thinking not to do any hacking already....squeezy than let it be la....now thinking just squeeze the bed and wardrobe in the mbr...the next room will be a study room and entertainment room, will only custom make a suspended study table and top cabinets....so if next time if wanna transform into a bedroom, it's still possible....headache ar~~~If you are worry abt the wardrobe blocking the aircon board, you can ask your ID to make sure the back of the wardrobe is 'alive'. That means the back plank can be removed. But hor, if you use system 3 or 4 aircon, u will not be using the mbr aircon ledge in future anyway. I think using the alumix system will cost more, but if you prefer, go ahead. Just dun think it will be a smaller wardrobe b'cos of the aircon ledge.I also never carryout any hacking of wall as well. So squeeze queen size bed and wardrobe lor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whew !Hi alister, can I confirm if both your toilets cost $2900 to overlay the wall and tiles (excluding all other stuff like vanity top, PD doors etc)? Mine was also around this range for the overlay and I thought it was kinda high initially...but it seems like this is the norm...Do you have any restriction on the types (price...) of tiles you can use?

The price of tile we chose was a mixture of $3.00, $4.80 & $5.20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also read somewhere pipes shouldn't conceal incase there is a leak, we can still identify where. Can others share ?I will be buying normal standing fan, not those ceiling fans.My downlights are $26 for double tube (13w x 2) & $19 for single tube (10w).
