schiz0id 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2011 tell your electrician you want to do opennet later on. then the electrician will lay a temporary cable from a hole to outside your house to where you want to have your TP. then when opennet is here, they will scotch tape the fiber optic cable to the temp cable and then pull the temp cable at the place you want the TP until the fiber optic cable is through. i also not sure you understand what i mean. heheheeh....Hahaha amazingly I think I know what you mean... I think....... I will let my electrician know and see if what he says is the same as what you suggest. Else i'll be sure to post it here Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine is only the broad and flat which have all cables together in 1, incl my opennet. don't know why its done this way since a few of you have separate for opennet? hhhmmm....

sleek 2 Report post Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Went up to my place on Wed 9th to kpo kpo and found out they were polishing the marble on that day so quickly took some boring shots and left as the whole house floor was taking a ! Went up again today to kpo again but quite boring as nothing much else has been done this week since we're waiting for carpentry, except for the laminate flooring platform in my master sleeping area. The laminate flooring for my mum's platform could not be done as there was 2 batches of laminates which resulted in a difference in tone so the installer called me today and told me she will let us choose again. Initially I was confused as to why we are using laminate flooring for the sleeping platforms and my reno guy said it costs the same for laminate flooring or carpentry laminate?! Even though our platform is low, it is rather scary standing on it at the open bedroom window. My whole upper body is above the window ledge and I will be so glad when the grilles are fixed! Some photos as usual, 1. Partial living room downlights. The switches for the right side will be hidden in the carpentry at the main entrance so we are unable to turn them on for now. Dont know why the clothes for my aircon has dropped, we tried to fix it back but couldnt reach the top 2. Ceiling light for storeroom and both toilets.1. Lights in my mum's room, hahah 2 tone cos 1 to see properly with, the other to hiao with! Love the crystal light reflections on the ceiling.2. Pendant light in hallway to bedrooms, still covered up with styrofoam and plastic for protection! Edited November 12, 2011 by sleek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleek 2 Report post Posted November 12, 2011 1. Master study area & sleeping area downlights. I think I might want to change the sleeping area to warm lights instead.2. Laminate flooring sleeping platform and reflection of lights in the polished marble. The long long wires hanging down right in the front of both shots are for the lights in the WIW area. 1. Laminate looks good enough to my untrained eye 2. Very UGLY like this. Is it too late to get them to paint the casing?! The electrician boss was nice enough to upgrade all my front panels to what I requested for instead of only some but now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleek 2 Report post Posted November 23, 2011 On monday, i was unable to be around to see them finally bring the carpentry up but my mum said there were 8 men and a house full of carpentry pieces. Yesterday went down to meet the curtain guy and door guy for measurements, discussions and decisions and saw there were 3 carpenters and 2 electricians - to fix those switches we requested to be done on carpentry. Carpentry in my mum's room was completed. The WIW in my master room was up except for the doors, they were putting the headboard together. The top and vanity cabinets in the master toilet were also fixed, now just waiting for the caeserstone counter top to be fixed plus my plumbing. The tall shoe cabinet and settee-shoe cabinet in balcony area was all done, except for the settee cushions. They were in the process of fixing the TV cabinet and today when we went down again, it has been finished except for the mirror pieces. Today 2, carpenters are there finishing the kitchen carpentry that was half done yesterday and whatever else. Some previews of carpentry in progress, we're all super stoked! Mum's room is completed. The low shelf is made of plywood and varnished/ lacquered as my mum likes the raw look. Shoe cabinets at main door/ balcony. The last photo is of the shoe organiser from Ikea's Pax/ Komplement range that my mum thought of. Master room (Left to right, top to bottom)1. Can you tell by now how much I <3 all the crystal lights in the home. LOL at myself.2. Right side of WIW which I will be using. Left side is for the husband. The reflection of the ladder on the left of the photo is from my toilet tiles. 3. From sleeping area looking to study table, WIW and toilet. They will paint the WIW backing to make it look like a wall as suggested by carpenter and reno guy instead of using laminates.4. The KDK V56K & M11SU fans are up. No wobbling and very breezy, yay!Kitchen (Left to right, top to bottom)1. Miele came to install the washer and dryer last week and different people will come again to demo. No cabinets to house these or the rubbish chute as my mum refuses to have to open and close doors to access them. 2. Left side cabinets, dishwasher is sticking out awaiting the plumber to connect it before they push it in under the counter top3. Right side cabinets, fridge will be on the right of it and then our dining table.4. Managed to get these two Blum drawers complimentary from carpenter/ reno guy but they were not willing to give more *sad face* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
