ahlipz 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2012 More updates....Dining area mirror + backsplash for kitchen area is up as wellFull length mirrorThree pieces of the mirror :dancingqueen: Backsplash - We were advised to use the more sturdy material since the price difference is less than $50Pending for electrical socket to be fixed up. That explains why the bunch of wires is left hanging. Need the carpenter to fix the LED area coz there is no laminates protecting the area, just the raw wood being exposed :curse: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ahlipz 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2012 Sub con came to check the mirror & was advised that the "wet" cement has interacted with the morror to produce the black unsightly patches. He has already pasted a protective layer behind the miror but the joint part was without the protection laye, resulting in the black patches.He already settled the new mirror at my living room today. Contractor also came up to my house settle the rest of the renovation, mainly my lightings and toilets accessories to be fixed up this Wed. Pending for my furniture to be in by end of the month.

I managed to get a table lamp at Paragon but didn't manage to get a standing lamp coz the shipping is really quite expensive. You can go to Hawaii Five-O at 34 Ekamai 21, Sukhumvit Road or Asiatique It is like a night market aka Suan LumHope you find some treasure in BKK Edited August 8, 2012 by ahlipz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ahlipz 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 Hi Ahlipz, any idea where to get the 3D subway tiles, thks ? Hafary and Unlimited Enterprises Pte Ltd has the normal subway tiles but the dimension for both shops are different , the ones that you used in your bathroom maybe is from Unlimited Enterprises Pte Ltd, just a guess I am not sure where to get those 3D subway tiles. I happened to see them at a couple of location and really make me drool. Anyway, my tiles are already up before I chanced on the 3D subway tiles. The tiles are from Hafary coz I saw the invoice from a small box of leftover tiles in the bomb shelter. There are bigger and larger subway tiles. Perhaps it will be nicer unless the tiler is really good. Mine is only so-so, some of the tiles are slightly chipped off after the tiler cut them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahlipz 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 Kitchen sink & tap is up. Nothing fanciful compared to some of the T-bloggers Gas heater piping is up. Pretty satisfied as the plumber managed to conceal the pipes compared to the initial discussion with my contractor. She informed that the pipes will run like MRT track from common toilet to Master bedroom toiletCommon toilet vanity, sink and tapMaster bedroom toilet vanity, sink and tapKeeping it simple, white and clean. Sink is quite similar except the master bedroom sink is much bigger. ID wanted to fix 2 taps. Taking into the cost of the tap, it is a cheaper option to install 1 tap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahlipz 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 My plumber informed that the Grohe rainshower set is too long Why didn't I check before buying it during the sale? He is advising me to place it on left the side of the shower faucet instead in the middle due to space constraint. They are unable to shift the pipes coz they are concealed behind the walls, otherwise will go with thw option to lower the faucet in order to place the trainshower set in the centralised position. Sigh!For those of you doing reno, remember to check before buying rain shower.Lesson learnt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
