Pretty small considering we are getting a front loader washing machinemosaic tiles in the bathroom shower area. Actually not too bad la. should be able to get used to the colours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yokechye 2 Report post Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Had a site survey with the aircon contractor and realised that there will be some problem with the aircon in living room.The beam depth across between living and the bedroom corridor is low and is at the same height as the bedroom door. which means if I want to run the drain pipe via the 2 bedrooms, it has to run a full round at low level. Another possible way is to:Option 1, run across the HS wall to the common bathroom, but it would mean that I will see the 1 inch trunking for drainage across the wall at 2.1m height.Option 2, still can run along the main trunking, but need to add a pump to pump the water up above door level and connect with the rest of the drainage piping for bedroom 1 and 2. Lastly, option 3, totally dun wan aircon for living room since we are having ceiling fan!Now we are in a dilemma, To install aircon or not to install aircon in living room.Anyone got any recommendations for the drainage or comments regarding a pump for the drainage system?

battle 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2012 Hi yokechye,Congrats in getting your key and all the best in your reno.Personally, i don't install a/c in living room. For me, utility bill already high liao, cannot afford to have a/c in the living room to draw more electrical power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
