Joining The Expanding Simei Neighbourhood

[marshmallow 0]

am using 3 x 6 wall tiles on wall in both my common and mbr walls

common bath even went vertically instead of the normal horizontal laying

as far as the visuals allow, did not spot any over-the-board unevenness tat are so bat requires rectifications.

perhaps, the consolation is that at some areas you would have sink, mirrors, cabinets etc to cover up?

think replied in banned's tblog. laying more ex because is 3x6? no lei.. my id never mentioned anything

bro neo, in Henry's quote the tile sizes are clearly written (30x45 for wall tiles iirc). before choosing tiles, he will inform you the charges incurred for larger tiles say 30x60. sometimes ID does not restrict the size of tiles used becos the initial quote is already higher... depends on how they quote also la.

My tile also no problem . In fact a lot of guys who visited my place comment that the tile is nicely done up . My tiler is the "little black" I think most henner got no complaint with him .

My problem is the uncle painter

Ya lor . That time i tot Y suddenly u sell clock ... lol

It's like that de . Normal for 1st timer like us . I rem b4 hang over I use coin to knock on all the floor tile to check for hollowness ... and my wife was like "hey what are u doing on the floor ????"

... how come he sent an electrician to fix the "yao lan" for you?

... how come he sent an electrician to fix the "yao lan" for you?

i also dun know . I told henry Jaden need to sleep yao lan cos he been sleeping Yao lan at his nanny place. Then I ask him to send someone to install the hock for me. Then he send Ar liang .

My guess is , the hook he install for me is those use for ceiling fan . So he send a electrician ... lol

Cos when I ask ar liang , this Hook strong one or not . He say "shouldn't be a problem . This hook we use for ceiling fan one . "

Anyway .... our dear Henry didn't send me any bill for that .... so I guess it's a FOC service .... shhh ....

ok updates.

HO didnt happen! last update fr henry is tt mon tue will do glass works. tue wed will do solid surface tops..

aniwae, carpentry is more or less done..

some peek shots..

Foyer, shoe cabinet with DIY-ed stool:

Black and white kitchen, minus my glass works:

Study:

my living room feature wall & tv console:

my original tv console was suppsoed to be half e height only, felt it look classier n more modern, but aft all e carpentry hiatus, dimensions were confirmed n conveyed over e phone, told carpenter to do me a standard ht console and he told me e doors would b quite big if did standard height. they tell me if its do from floor up, tis is e standard height of tv console. I asked him if it would look weird if its tis height n he told me it would look ok.. so i said ok.. i should hav double checked myself to make sure it was wad i envisioned..

so i ended up with tis big kinda bulky lookin ting..

was quite disappointed when i saw e final pdt and asked on e spot if can change to shorter.. but they told me bobian to change alr.. sigh..

but our parents all said it look ok la.. so ok then.. aft lookin n lookin it felt ok la. although @ a certain pt in time, e tot of juz payin for a redo tv console did x my mind.. oh well.. its mistake on my part to confirm such a dimension so ok la.. i shall live w it..

any one else feels it looks too bulky?

hey bro, looks good! actually if you dun point out, i wouldn't notice anything wrong with the tv console...

bigger console = more storage space. perhaps you'll need that in future
