Refreshing A 32 Years Old Flat

Recommended Posts

my MBR floor tiles are up, however i thought the gradient for flooring is a bit too much. Don't know if it will feel uncomfortable stepping on them....

any comments?

i tink the slanting is there for water to flow towards the floortrap quickly..... for me i would prefer no ponding/puddles on the bathfloor after someone finish using the bathroom...

I did a test earlier today and step into the bathroom. The slope really felt funny as i could feel with my bare feet.

Told the worker to dig up the tiles and relay them as i don't wanna feel giddy walking on these tiles....

The sad thing is that my mbr toilet only has one drainage point which is in the shower. Hopefully water can still move into the shower area when i wash the toilet.

Use broom to sweep the majority of the water towards the drainage point. I doing that also although have 2 drainage point (still got small ponds everywhere after washing toilet). Floor dries up 50% faster then leaving it alone.. :sport-smiley-018:

trunking of my aircon up today....

Amazingly it was done in less than 2 hrs by 3 guys, maybe my trunking run distance is shorter than normal....

WIW trunking

MBR trunking.

I am now concern about this as the space between the trunking and the ceiling is just about 31cm and i am supposed to fit my panasonic aircon which is 29cm high.

But the installer said no problem, so i LL because i initiated this trunking manner as i tot the trunking will actually run through the blower inside itself. Didn't expect the trunking to run below the blower.

hi advancer, you concealed the shower piping? you installed opposite side of the basin right?

yup as u can see from the picture above, there are 2 pipes running into the wall on the left hand side.

I made a mistake here by choosing the basin and not the shower on this wall, thus there are 2 ugly pipes running into the wall above the basin.

I will be asking my contractor to cover up the pipes using a similar wall tile and can double up as a bench to place my toiletries.

box up of the sewage pipe which is wrong as there is no doors for me to open up. Told Alan about the mistakes and they got to re-do it.

Noticed the citygas heater just next to it?

Just found out that there should be clearance on top the heater as the top is the exhaust and will be hot, thus the bend pipes on top cannot be box up by cabinets as it will be damaged by heat over time.
