paladin126 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2012 Day 8 26 MarMonday.. The tiles for both toilets are up, window grills fix and kitchen window are change..Love the hor window grill at least don't feel like staying in jail.. We survived past 8 yrs at old without grill with very young kids .. Sure will take some time to get used to it again.The toilet tiles didn't manage to do 2 tone.. Oos again..Can't see clearly if the joining are perfect as we got there late..The workers put this type of steel at all edges of hse be4 plaster.. Super nice after effect I also saw that my workers included the steel bars at the edges of the walls before plastering. I am also pleased with my plastering, I really think its money well spent. Its costly, but now the quality of my walls is condo-like, which is a lot of difference to the overall quality of renovation and overall look and feel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wood frame already rotten.. Which means another hole on our pocket.. Seek Help from ID Cyrus, he offered to work on Aluminium frame which helped us save some $..and never will worry of water., hopefully won't cost so much cos wood one likely to cost 400-500The trouble woodframeMy favourite part of the hse, grill removed, window changed at service balcony..

I thought it is a small square? Is this a unit aircon? You did plastering right? Can just use a board to cover, normally the aircon installer will provide a thick board to patch the existing aircon hole.This tile not very big issue, because we found 1 piece of tile in the kitchen like that, and 1 piece in common toilet. My father helped me to touch the tiles if the tiles are protruding out, but it's not, and he said it's normal. After they apply grout, the tile gaps will not be so obvious anymore.
