hermione 1 Report post Posted January 12, 2011 Hi, i stay in blk 38A. Jia Lat my renov not start yet and it has been dili dali for 2 months doing nothing. Now waiting for ID for quotation and worse due to CNY, most likely can only start work later. One question do you overlay all wall and floor tiles for your master and common bathroom. I don't like oroginal master bathroom green colour. It looks ugly. If i'm not wrong, we can't hack the wall and floor tile in master and common bathroom? hihi! ur my neighbour! ya, this season they are super bz, sure dilly dally one. mine was supposed to be done early jan, but i think now will be only done nix wk, prob last wk of jan then can completely handover. even my aircon also that week then can install. but as long as its before CNY can liao. i just wanna be home! i overlay my tiles. u cant hack those tiles, ya quite off lah the tiles... just overlay, cheaper for us also. hacking is extra cost...

May_dream1 14 Report post Posted January 12, 2011 ya... back to square one... too headache... i can research all day and still its the same conclusion, both sides also pros and cons. some people say its ok, some people say nope. i think i'll leave it up to my husband to decide lah. either way i'll try to hide it. should not be too bad. my friend concealed her storage tank in a cabinet in the kitchen, i think its nice... those of you with resale should do that. i think if it's really obviously exposed then will be v ugly... actually funny hor, how come these foreign manufacturers dun design nicer heaters... something that maybe looks like a cabinet or something futuristic and cool... maybe those europeans dun mind... after all their houses can be 100-200 years old... ours is only max 40 yrs old... i'm not having rainshower... dunno how to appreciate rain shower... hahaha... but i know everyone loves it. i like my shower at an angle tho I do like rain shower!!! But i can live without it if its going to come with an extra cost. Just this thing only, already headache for me. I wonder how to continue with the rest of the renovation Let me discuss with my designer this sat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But gotta stick to my budget for reno, so got to sacrifice that. At least my walls r plastered and the white floor tiles r not too ugly. Can live with it i guess... Just clean more lor maybe...
