potatoes 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2011 My new Custom made Clothes Hanger Fixture This fixture is special because it cannot be purchased outside. Owning to the petit size of my yard and the protruding ceiling lamp, ID suggested to get hs dad's company to specially fabricate the clothes hanger fixture for me. Yesterday, Kafu, who out of his goodwill and @ his own cost, unselfishly spent 3 solid hours helping me to install this fixture + also my living/dining/bedroom curtain rods as well. This is something highly commendable about my ID Kafu. Job well done too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He will also help to service the all the existing alumimium windows on my 2nd level. Another value added service.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
potatoes 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2011 Preparation for moving inTime really flies.... our renovation started in mid July and have just completed, we are now busily preparing for the next BIG thing ..... yes "Moving In". To me, this has always been a challenge. Apart from those "muscles" , what is needed most is time needed to do the packing. We have exactly 1 week from now to "Move- in" Day to do all the packing. To date, out of the 100 carton boxes we ordered, we have completed packing close to about 50 boxes. Stacking the boxes up preparing for move-in Moving some of these into our new home Hope this will be quickly over soon ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just went down to IKEA yesterday to purchase some storage racks for my storeroom and also bookshelves for my kids' rooms. Managed to get some good deals from the garage corner too!

matrox 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2011 Thx Cleong. So far I have already met with 2 ID and 2 contractors. 1 contractor quoted abt 49k while the ID quoted 42K. Still waiting 2 other quotes.Cos of budget constaint, I will probably keep my Reno simple.Isn't contractor supposed to be cheaper than ID? Does that mean that the contractor has higher profit margin that the particular ID? All Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matrox 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2011 Lighting effect of breakfast counterHi PotatoesDo you mind sharing where did you get the lighting for your foyer? We are also looking for the same for our foyer and passageway to the bedrooms, casting shadow effect on the ceiling/wall. From the photo, you have the 3 lined lights near the foyer light, is it cos that light isn't bright enough? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matrox 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2011 Congratulations on the comnpletion of your renovation. I'm sure it's a tedious and tiring process and it's gonna be our turn soon.... I like your toilets, initially we wanted to get the black pebbled tiles for our toilet too, but later abort the idea as we are not getting the plain tiles to match it. Instead, we opt for those little squares-like mosaic toilet tiles which we have been eyeing few years back after seeing our friend having it for their bathrooms too. Orange was also one of our color but somehow, we "disqualify" them. Basically, I still do not know what I want contrary to my DH. Hope you will settle soon at your new house and all the best to your moving this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
