the overlap of frame , do u think is a good idea if all the overlap part u cut a gap that the size of the other frame that going to be overlay on it so everything will be flat and easier to put it on the wall , but that mean the carpenter or u hv to be very accuerate of cutting the gap to make sure it join nicely with the other frame

i want the 3d effect leh... cannot cut

so disappointed today that my 35l joven storage heater cant be installed because of the piping!! and false ceiling needs to be cut and some cornice to be removed... luckily not the new cornice.

and i have to buy another rheem storage heater... more ex! and less reliable than joven... i want joven la... :~ super bad mood...

installer showed me his way of running the copper pipe if i insist joven... i walked out of the bathroom . all the pipes in my hdb were hidden... i will never let the copper pipe running around the beautiful bathroom! disappointed. very.

anyone using 38l rheem storage heater? share your experience...

the very challenging carpentry is finally in progress... very pleased :rolleyes: love the dark glossy laminate, kind of retro, but i love it!!

the study desk under spiral staircase is exceptionally huge!! and the movable cabinet (to be placed below) is amazingly huge too can put my printer inside lo the curve is beautiful, even the doors are curved! very pleased the carpenter jokingly said... duno the desk can fit in or not!!! haha... better can!

how much did he charge you for such a difficult table? is your carpenter the big fat guy?

hahahahaha!!! big fat guy... you mean long ge ah!!??? hahahaha! i tell him ah!!

actually patrick's quote is itemized. but i dun bargain it item by item, cos some are cheap, some are ex, i bargain a lump sum from total cost. so i guess he give and take here and there... 220 psft for carpentry... my shoe cabinet is 43 x 60cm, he charges me $500... oh ya, have not deal with him about this yet cos very ex!!! am meeting him tomorrow... my rubbish chute disfigured... my heater switch downstairs not working leh, i think his heater installer wants to come my place everyday to boil hot water for me to bathe ah!!

honestly, the study desk is really not an easy task, and i wanted drawers! !! while talking & explaining to to long ge, i kept observing his expression and tone, cos if its too challenging, i will change my design, but he din show any displeasure! and he did it!! turned out bigger than wat i wanted... very very please. check out the rectangular holes you see in the pix, those are for drawers, curve drawers

hi timtim, yes, i went ahead and did the ceiling for living room, however, space is too huge, effect is not as good as the ceiling above the beds. hm... got to think of more decorative pieces... the painter gonna hate me!! cos the ceiling is grey, and these beamings and roses in white... they sure hate me!!!

i love this! perfect!!!
