calliecats 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2012 Make sure at least one of you is around to instruct in detail where to put what point, switch, etc....They will also ask you which switch is to turn on which light.You can do like what I did here so that it is clear to the electrician...http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd395/tjkjohn/floorplan_sockets-1.jpgHi,My contractor thought through where to put the switches & sockets for me after we went through the general lighting requirements. He suggested the places where it would be most convenient & logical for all the light switches & explained the plan to me when we met later. Eg. He put 2 switches for me for my bedroom ligting-1 when entering the room & 1 near bedside so I would not need to get out of bed to switch off the light. He also asked me how many appliances I will be having on my kitchen table top so he will put the power sockets there. Saved me alot of trouble to have to think it up myself. Maybe you can ask your ID to do the same for you. Then go through with him the plan & give him your input before you approve it. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muska1119 1 Report post Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Day 14 .. End of 2 wks of RenoA lot of things are starting to shape up. Can feel it's finally looking more like a home.. Didn't dare to step in since last fri due to the tile works.. And today pm went in to have a good look..Just be4 we go up, bump in to previous owner who came out of lift..but they didn't see us..guess they are more anxious than us to see how their beloved home will turn out at the hand of new owner.. HahThis is the 1st sight that greeted us.. Nice! The original rounder entrance shaped into nice neat rectangular top The original corridor...The living floor tiles thought it might be too yellowish but looking nice too..The kitchen looking so bright and cln look now Edited April 1, 2012 by muska1119 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muska1119 1 Report post Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) And finally again my fav spot at the moment.. So bright.. This is the only window that provide light to the kitchen..so its important to make it as clear as possible.AfterBeforeSo dark and scary...From this window can see the common toilet lourver..so glad we changed it..the previous owner did not clean them at least > 10yrs.. A v v thick dust overlaid each piece of glass!All in all .. It's really a lot of stuff has done since wk1.happy that the tiles was chosen correctly to help us brighten the hse.. Did found a few uneven floor tiles n wall tiles... Tomor to let ID Cyrus know.. Wonder what he 'll say.."Cannot expect 100% perfect??" Sometimes he will tell us we too ngim chim..

Haiz..Why don't you call the outlet to check if you can change the bed size to queen? If you have not made full payment or commit on the delivery date, normally they will not do the bedframe until you gave your confirmation date to deliver.
