My Ea @ Bedok - Mid May 2012

DAY 15, 1st Jun , Fri

Finally, almost seeing the complete picture. MBR bathroom flooring also done. Left with few painful strips to be done. (at least 1/2 days effort required).

Common bathroom floor tiles not done, but wall almost 90% of the surface covered, left 10% of painful cutting + grinning to perfection work. Long siong day....

Another fruitful evening + night + mid-night spend with my ID. We walk through every single detail on power point location, high/low point, which CU to pull from...

Walk through detail lighting point, where to place the switch, how to pull to hide as much trunking as possible. False ceiling or Cove Light. (many many feet/pieces of cove light)...

Finally, water pipe, as it will run through the open concept kitchen, dining room towards MBR bathroom, it posts a great challenge how to hide it nicely... .. .

Looking at the challenges, I'm ok to expose the stainless steel pipe, but ID cannot accept it. He don't want to spoil the looks. He cracks his head trying to 'hide' the pipe...

Again, he's asking for more perfection than owner (I'm happy and delighted). :drunk:

After walking through, we proceed to coffeeshop to lim kopi, makan supper, talk, chat, re-do his quotation on the spot as he will need to include all the additional work that was introduced since day 1 we start work.

Let's recap what we introduce from initial original idea.

Day 1 morning when hacking starts : Decided to hack kitchen floor + wall (remove all tiles & do cement to flat).

Day 3 morning, found dining area flooring popped. Last minute decided need to hack. Day 4 morning, did full inspection, whole house flooring goes.

Day 6, we confirmed we want Cove Light...

Siong siong week.......

Ya ya, it can be very slippery, that's why many paste those anti-slip stickers / patch or put those anti-slip mat. but that actually made the tub ugly.

problem not in the tub, it's when coming out that I slipped. Feet wet so easy to slip loh.

Hi Battle,

When do you intend to move in?

Do you need carton boxes? If you don't mind, you can reuse mine. They are all new when I got them, don't want it to go to waste.

@Battle - I bought our lights at Lightings.com.sg. Thanks for the good tip. It's all about guts' feeling. We've been to various lighting shops but only at the above did we feel comfortable. Immediately, my girls are able to select "what they won't mind having". All lights are chosen by them. Nothing fanciful.

@ May - Ya lor! I was so afraid that I would fall climbing out of the tub after showering during the hotel stay. That's why over here, though got 2 tubs, all of us use the bathroom with standing shower.

Ay, think by the time it complete, should be 1st week of july. Will proberbly move during that week.

Think will only need a few as I won't be moving everything at one go. Will take out time to move as the place we are currently staying will be occupied by my BIL ; p

DAY 18, 5th Jun, Tue

Common bathroom tiles all done. Sui. Love it.

They have also patch most of the gap between tiles. As there are light and dark colored tiles, they will have to fill the gap between tiles using white/cement colored accordingly.

Photo will be shard later ; p

DAY 19, 6th Jun, Wed

Still patching the bathroom tiles gap, think might finish tomorrow.

Today, they start laying tiles from main gate. (according to them, they will align from main gate so that it is nice when you 1st step into the house ..... mmmmmmm interesting concept)

Anyway, by the end of the day, 1/2 of living room done, walk way to dining area done, kitchen started 2 row, island cabinet base 1/2 done.

Really a lot of work cutting the tiles, especially those around the door frame, along the corners, lots of manual grinning. No joke. As tiles are not 100% flat, they have to pick and choose to make sure the finished flooring is a flat as possible. Really siong siong job. Put, buay gam, change, put busy flat, change !!! *faint*

End result, nice and flat floor. Great job done. ; )
