Some light works to the living area done up too! Decided that living area is too dark without any downlights. So decided to install 2 sets of double downlight using 4W LEDs:

 

And of course, the dining light from LIGHTCRAFT. Looking good!

AND FINALLY! FOR THOSE WHO ARE WAITING FOR THE RESULT OF USING LED DOWNLIGHTS TO LIGHT-UP AN AREA, THE EXAMPLE OF THE KITCHEN IS HERE!!!!!

Ran an L-shape track with 2M by 1M tracks and fitting with 7 modules of 7W LED each. Here are the results:

The below shows purely LED only. This is without the counter lights being used.

 

The below shows it with the cool white T5 lighting up. This was used for food preparation. The pictures shows it with the installed Glass backsplash.

 

 

The below shows the sink area which is lighted with 2X 4W LED. The black glass divider has also been installed as seen in the picture.

Wah.. 7 7W led light for kitchen, won't consume more electricity? Though 7 bulbs but kitchen still look dark, or is it the camera's fault? Need to on cabinet lights to make kitchen brighter, like that consume more energy

It's ok in actual. Bright enough with cosy feel. Bright enough for general use. The cabinet white light will be used only during cooking. Other than that for everyday use it's actually bright enough. Cheers!!

Hi Battle, hope my sharing helped you in your decision making. Would be great if you can share pics if you decided to use it!

Yay! When you can start painting works it means that things are shaping up and the heavy works are almost all done and finished. The family friend had started to paint. Its a pretty simple combi - all white for the apartment and only a grey scheme for the feature wall. simple is more.

Decided to re-varnish all the wooden doors to give it a new lease of life!

Toilet is about done. Taps have been fixed. leakages fix. Sinks fixed. Table top fixed.

COMMON TOILET:

 

 

MBR TOILET:

 

 

My contractor called me on the installation day to inform me that after all the installation have been done for the common toilet sink, he discovered that the underside is wet. Apparantly there is some micro manufacturing defect which resulted in water dripping at a very slow rate through the sink. To the normal person, this will never pose a problem as you will nv suspect that drops on the floor are caused by this defect. However, he knew me to be very particular about such things. He warned me and asked me to check with agent (which is L-pheno) which i bought the sink. We arranged for L-pheno to call him and he offered to explain to L-phene what the defect was. Thankfully L-Pheno (which service till today has been great!!) came down the next day with a replacement. Our dear contractor was there to remove the entire sink by himself! He's been great help. Glad to have a contractor like him.

I have made known to my contractor the bugging problem of the water tank valve leaking onto the double socket which the washing machine uses. It posed a hazard. Was informed by wife that today the plumber refused to change the entire valve as "it is not his business". Fortunately, our contractor decided to roll up his sleeve and fixed a new valve himself!

I shall check on his work tmr. Nonetheless, awesome guy.

I just had all aircons serviced. Used this uncle for a few times already. Down to earth not there to carrot you. Entire apartment servicing less than $200 I think. He says our aircons are still new.

If you need air-con service contact let me know.

Nice job with the bathrooms!

I see you have a black rack shelf in your grey bathroom. Is that laminate or solid top? It looks like solid top, didn't know it's possible to use solid top as a shelf like that. What a good idea!

Can you share the gray colour code from which series? Looks nice

Hi Fishponder - That is a solid top. The same one used for the sink and MBR. Solid tops are pretty easy and flexible to fabricate. 2 rods were drilled into the wall and the solid top sits on it and then silicon applied all round. It's sturdy and looks good. You can always fabricate one to go along with the sink top for a more complete and sync look.
