Update...

Today my toilet accessories from Poh Joo delivered to our house. Waiting for the plumber to install.

Wei..wei.. Mr plumber, PLEASE be more careful and dun make further more mistake hor??

Today glass sub-con FINALLY came to install three toilets door.. Waited more than a week.. sigh.. but out of the three glass door, one suppose to be sliding door, two swing door, end up become all swing door. I told glass sub-con to verify with ID as this is not what I have communicate with ID.

Kaoz! Lucky I was there to notice the swing door, if not, once the swing door is installed, extra work need to remove and some wall tiles will have replaced. Hmm.. Hope it's not MURPHY'S law again lor..

Today went up to do marking on the toilet accessories on every item so that our Mr plumber can install on Sat as told by ID.

ID also tell me that the glass sub-con will install sliding door for level one toilet.. It's their miscommunication. Then.. ID told me that our Kronotex flooring have deep scratches due to no protection paper covering the laminated flooring. Wah Lau eh!! anyway, ID will call Kronotex person to get it replace..

Will update photos later when I m back home..

Hope your problems are resolved soon.

Today I finally received my first Taobao purchase.. One item - the clock is broken!!!!

How bad is the damage of the clock? Able to claim from seller?

HappyAng, you are another happy owner who can look forward to moving into your new flat early April! I am happy for you :-)

Ha..ha.. At the moment more stress on the issue of my renovation.. Looking forward to 10th Apr, ID committed to handover the house back to us..

How to claim from seller? Send back to china? Who bears he shipping cost?

Peeka is really efficient and good! I didn't buy insurance for my purchase but every purchase comes with free basic insurance BUT does not cover breakage for glass item. However peeka made the initiative to make special exemption for me and got their courier to pick up the damaged good from me today! They will allow the claim for me

After 64 days of renovation...

Finally, can see our carpentry work le. Notice all internal is grey colour? We pay extra to use polygon for the internal instead of white PVC.

My wifey favourite, tiffany blue strips for the lower kitchen cabinet with tiffany blue glass backing (will be install later). Hope my wifey will love the end result..

Left side of the photo (dish rack cover) is the Hafele lift unit which I personally buy from Hafele and hand-carry to ID's supplier at Sungei Kadut. Initially wanted to use Blum system, but there's a height restriction (may hit the false ceiling).

Common toilet, glass door is up. Notice the mini vanity?

Master toilet, sliding door for shower area..

Wah...Free scratch resistance test by the sub-con...

ID will get it replaced... That' the result of no protection... Really SPEECHLESS...

Counting down to the handover date and hope no more SHOCKING THINGS along the way...

HappyAng, at first I thought we have lots of light fitting but after looking at yours, I suppose we are 'sama sama'. I know my spouse has placed order for over 42 lights for the entire unit. Our contractor also told us that this week, lights fitting will be up.

After 68 days of renovation...

Kitchen cabinet. A bit not smooth on the lifting and closing of Hafele lifting mechanism, will check with Hafele salesperson for advice.

Breakfast cum bar counter.

Finally, Mr Plumber is here... Our Grohe rainshower set.

Common toilet. Mr plumber say he will check to ensure no leaking before he leave today.. Well.. gonna keep my finger cross. Look at the space on the right.. If toilet bowl can shift a bit to right, then our vanity can do bigger liao.

Joven 35L storage heater is sitting in the common toilet.

Today also meet ID to discuss the position of our downlights... Looking forward to see more things this week and our handover next week. Aluminum grills worker only came this evening, so don't have the chance to take photo yet...
