hi guys

so far reno had been smooth and no problems :thumbs up: only complain is that it is really slow. when ID say she will take 8 weeks , she really mean 8 weeks to complete :unsure:

carpentry will be coming soon and i hope everything will be fine :sport-smiley-018:

yesterday i went to check the lights. even day light is not bright. now i know downlights and cove lights are realli just for ambience ONLY.

my study room got 4 x T5 day light (cove lights) and 2 x day light down lights.... can see from my electrical plan below. i was realli expecting this room to be really bright since i had so many ligths in there... but so sad the room is so dark, the section not under the downlights is so dark and gloomy... :furious: waste electricity every time got to on so many lights :help:

will talk to ID and add more lights. WTH all these ambience lights is not as bright as 1 simple light in the center. :dunno: :dunno:

:help:

another problem :furious:

my bed cannot lean flat to the wall without having space in between becoz of my aircon trunking running low. Ther's a gap in between the bed headrest & wall.

solutions :dunno:

1) use carpentry to build 3 pieces of wood to cover the "holes" - cheapest maybe even FOC

2) build fake wall using partition board - $300++

3) use carpentry to build a bed head "feature wall" - most $$

think i will choose option 2, to build a fake wall using partition board... OMG more $$ :jawdrop:

hi went to check the lights another day and realized that actually my down lights and cove lights are bright enough, maybe i got too high expectation LOL :sport-smiley-004:

my cove lights are bright enough for daily lights, on down lights if i need to work or read. :sport-smiley-003:

anyway my only complain is that the reno is kinda slow.... really taking 8 weeks :unsure: :unsure: but maybe partly my fault as i add and change somethings. workmanship are quite good .. just a little bit here and there need to fix or change :rolleyes:

i am really impress with my ID, her memory is really super... she can almost remember everything that i need to change.... when i said i got a problem with my bed head cant lean fully at the wall, i gave her my bed head measurement and the next day i saw it written at the wall for the plaster guys to fix.. really fast and efficient.... thumbs up ... forum super star really zai zai, dun play play :good: :good:

my tiny toliet

nice PD door, really save space

very nice store room rack, smooth sand finish.. nice enough for display cabinet

my fav ceiling fan, very nice and excellent service from eric bro (renotalk forum ceiling fan guy (highly recommended) :good: :good:

hi i bought these from kiitos at suntec or plaza sing. :notti:

my total reno cost is 40k include electrical, i feel its ok as we had quite a few carpentry works. i had other "contractor" quotations more expensive but lesser items being done

my reno is very smooth without any problems :rolleyes:

Jessie is great too..... she just came up my house yesterday night to check final touch up. :thumbs up:

i calculated my total spending for this house is about 60k, :jawdrop: include everything like aircon, roller blinds, study chairs, pots, wok, spoon, floor mats, chopping board, etc

really expensive to start a family LOL :help:
