istel 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2011 Different color to show where living ends and where dining starts... I can finally wash my hands with the basins up... however, water pressure is abysmal and I'm on the mid level... I guess I should call my Town Council and not the SP? My shower set... nothing impressive other than the lousy water pressure... Gas meter's in the way of my cabinet... Called up Citygas and they said it'll cost me $100 if I want to shift the meter for even 5cm... Good luck to me on 17th... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neubie 2 Report post Posted January 12, 2011 wa, your plumber so lavish, give u copper pipes (prices more exp than stainless steel) thruout! the aircon bracket looks ugly initially, after painting to match wall color, it will look ok liao.... initiallly i felt the same, and my contractor told me if not comfy he can do up gypsum board to conceal the entire wall, but i dun think that's necessary at all...

Mine looks ugly I also did a last minute box up for the aircon area, and the cost is only less than $100, I think. You can ask for the quote first before decide.

Mine looks ugly those aircon brackets are suppose to be concealed wif gypsum box-up. ur aircon installer didnt do for you? it's a standard thing for some installers. my previous a/c installed by Gain City was not concealed just like yours, but current one installed by Imperial was boxed-up by them. i didn't request for it. Their surveyor told me it's standard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I'm waiting for the heart attack when the bill comes I also did a last minute box up for the aircon area, and the cost is only less than $100, I think.

Their surveyor told me it's standard. Thanks for all the advice, think I'm just gonna live with it... Gonna spend additional money trying to rectify the stupid gas pipe and meter so I'm trying to cut down my other costs... I'm not quite happy with my air con installation but can't say anything about it liao. Nonetheless, good to hear that imperial aircon gives such decent services though Just some updates, other than the stupid gas meter issue I'm having with city gas which I will elaborate when they fix up the stupid meter. I bought 7 sets of full extension blum runners, 36 hinges and 18 blumotion for around 365 bucks. Not sure if that's a good price but it'll help if you bring along your contractor's name card to get additional discounts Edited January 14, 2011 by istel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
istel 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2011 Quick update here, post pics later... So the Citygas contractor that came on Friday to rectify my gas meter issue... said my gas pipe is copper which is not in accord to regulations and it's leaking in the area where it's covered by my cement kitchen base ... Fast forward to Sat, Technical Officer came down and said have to hack away part of the cement base to install galvanized iron pipe to replace the copper gas pipe... Fast forward to Monday, the guys who came down to fix the issue had to hack away chucks of my cement + tiled base to install pipe... I leave the result to you guys' imagination for now before I post the pics tomorrow My laundry drying system from Ezzi-Living was installed today as well, installer was prompt and efficient with his installation. Will post pictures of it as well tomorrow... I'm currently wondering if I should install window grilles for the windows that are not along the corridor... No kids here and I'm on the 7th level but am worried about spiderman thieves if they spot that I'm the only household on the block that doesn't have grilles... Am really worn out mentally and physically with the reno decisions... sigh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am at level 6th. Thinking of not putting grille too and most probably not putting. I guess there is nothing at home for the thieves to steal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
