payton 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2011 Some updates. 17 Feb 2011 Quite a no of works done for the past few days. Skirting has been put up, lightings & ceiling fan fixed, and also flooring has been polished. We no longer need torch light when we go at night! Lightings for the rooms Ceiling Fan @ Living Ceiling The holes are cut for LED lights. Powerpoint Luckily the color of backing for the switches looks quite similar to the face plates. Job well done by Mr Payton However, we kinda regretted not getting all white color switches/power point as some of the backings were scratched during installation.. gotta respray/touch up.. haiz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
