May Our Dream Home Come True

Recommended Posts

Thanks for sharing this! :) I wouldn't have known this... I will get my ID to be present as well. My trunking will be a headache, as I wanna get the System 3, but the third bedroom is across the hall, so have to run a very long trunking or look for alternative aircons (window/portable unit)...

Yes yes, its good to have your ID present when installing so that he can do any counter-attacking for you.

Hi wei2, its good to see the progress on your flat, appreciate your review on the aircon trunking and layout too, its quite unsightly to see the bulky trunking around as well. the next phase will be the carpentry works?

Hey MeRfMeRf, painting work should be completed tomorrow.

Then chemical wash on Saturday. Can't wait to see my glossy floor tiles.

Then should be toilet fixtures and carpentry works.

Can't help to feel that my reno progress is the slowest ever.

Painting was completed, but for the last few days, not much work was done.

No sight of workers yesterday and today :(

Delays and delays...

Toilet fixtures to be up on Friday, and electrician will come back on Saturday to fix up the lights.

My super slim door for master bedroom toilet.

Nothing fancy, cheap acrylic bi-fold door.

And the super mini window for common toilet.

There is mis-alignment when window is opened.

Will ask the window installer to rectify problem on his next trip.

Window Grills

I would very much love to have the windows without grills.

But husband and parents insisted that window grills is a must.

Grills were up yesterday.

But workers forgot to bring the locks for my grills, they have to make another trip down to install them.

Items Delivery

Yesterday and today, i was waiting at the new place to receive deliveries.

All were on time, except for a lighting store.

Oven and Hob. Hood is already tucked in bomb shelter.

Hob delivered was of wrong model.

Called up Mega and was shocked to find out that the model i ordered has already been discontinued for 1.5 years.

Somebody messed up, not sure whether it is Mega or Rinnai agent.

Frustrated, but i didn't want to go down to reselect another model.

The delivered model was one of my choices initially, so i just accepted it.

Toilet Fixtures.

Bought from GR Link, Poh Seng, and Ikea.

There were some problems with items from GR Link.

Called up Benny and he was very nice to drive down personally to replace the defected at night.

We rejected a mirror from Poh Seng as the corners were very sharp. Husband was very concern about safety issue.

So we have to source for another mirror to be put up in the common toilet.

Lightings & Fan

Bought from Chan Huat, LC Lighthing, BL Lights and Ikea.

We hand carried most of the lightings from Balestier down to our flat.

Spent around $600 at Chan Huat but they only do free delivery for $800 and above.

Quite bewildered with them, maybe their business is too good, that's why can set such a high quota.

Not to mentioned that all their prices are exclusive of GST.

Bought only 1 hanging light from BL Lights which cost less than $300 and they offer free delivery without me having to ask.

BL Lights are quite unique and to my liking. They have lights that i didnt see in other shops.

Their prices are quite average and i would recommend them.

I got it from GR Link, just beside Poh Seng.

I bought most of my fixtures from there, and Benny gave me a discount off the total amount.

So $188 is sort of like before discount.

The shop is run by a couple, very friendly and helpful people.

Hi ks82, i got my oven for $640.
