Holes in the laminates that needs to be filled up to prevent cockroaches or bugs from creating a nice home for themselves: Cover ups for the pipes. I like!

gimz63251073 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2010 (edited) Hob area. The exposed wood..think i should apply some varnish to be kiasu. before you guys start to think that they are the "king of carpenters", some parts of the cupboard not very well done though, like this Basically some laminates are not glued close enough so there is the ugly line which is obvious at some places but not at others. Could be due to difference in skill level, one worker was more experieced than the other, which is a possible reason...To feedback to uncle and let him know.... Another touch up needed is the tall cabinet door. It cannot be closed properly on the top, hope uncle can made swee swee for us..

Can fit in my small ladder, the paint is there to mimick pails that we going to get in future. Can't wait for you to peel off the protective sticker for your stainless steel countertop and take a picture of it in all it's naked glory! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coldflamez 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2010 hey guys, look! i just DIY-ed my pallet shoe rack...haha...by putting my shoes on it. ok this is a little too tall, i gotta remeasure the height to fit it below the window... I like this also, there are many variation on instructables.com. But you need to note that the shoes might be wrinkled if you place them in that position too long.

Contractors generally quote like $162 per foot run with a built in sink and back splash.. solid surface is $100-$140 already... say $50 more per foot run, for a 8 ft kitchen (3room flat mah) = $400. save a bit here and there, still can make it within budget. oh have been waiting for the air con people to come to mess up my house with the ugly trunking!
