The Experience: Our First Home

[summersann 6]

Summersan!

Hi, i too installed relite fans for the house...with casing to hide the wires...no false ceiling. I noticed that the fan cap (where the motor is) isn't 100% flush with the ceiling...cos the fan itself isn't flushed. Did you have that problem? If you did, how did you solve it? pic to explain what i mean below.

Hey vanessa,

Here's a picture of how ours looks like. It isn't flushed with the wall.

Hope this helps!

We picked Artist Room in the end. Hope it goes well!

Hi, I am curious to meet artist room too. But I sent them my floor plan and enquiry more than 3 weeks ago and not a single response. Finally, I had to call them last week and left my number. But still no response from them. Was it the same for you?

Thank you! Guess there is nothing that can be done then. Do you have trouble with heaps of dust trapping between the gap?

They've gotten quite popular and have a lot of projects at any one time. We didn't have to wait too long before they got back to us, but had to wait a month before they had the first draft of our floorplan ready.

Hahaha, not that we've checked!

Hello! Sorry I've been absent from renotalk for quite a while I got the box from Typo!

Our IDs are Artistroom. You can find out more about them here: http://www.artistroom.com.sg

Try emailing or calling them on their office phone first. They're a small ID company and are quite swamped with projects most of the time. PM me if you'd like their mobile

It's been a long while since I last logged into renotalk. I do miss the renovation process! Soon, I'll mess around with the pieces at home to keep things fresh and give myself an excuse to experience the renovation process again. Glad we didn't have too many built-in things!

It's been 8 months since the boy and I moved into our first home together. We've settled in nicely and things haven't started falling apart. Some cracks popping up here and there, but I guess that's only normal. The good thing is, our IDs have stayed contactable and they usually come within the week after we inform them of the need to fix a few things. Thumbs up for that!

Strangely, I don't seem to be able to share my pictures on Google+ anymore. Renotalk prompts that I can't use that "image extension" in this community. Hmmmm. Anyone knows where else I can load pictures to share?

Testing.

We're enjoying the house (especially having meals/tea on the open balcony).

The boys are enjoying their new home (which totally makes my day because we wanted a bigger place for them to play in).

We welcomed another member into the family (she's a real cutie, and is getting along exceedingly well with the existing boys).

And most of all, I'm really grateful that I now have many places as backdrops for my pictures.

Haha, oops. Maybe I was too eager to round up. But it's coming to 8 months soon!

Makan, she's not shy at all! She's a menace. Hahaha
