Greycat 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 Day 4 of reno....mre pictures taken by BrownMse tdy:Tiling of living area almost done...Balcony's been knocked dwn n window fram (minus actual window panes) r up..... Dining area also almost tiled up..just short of tiling passage way nw.....Our foyer area...BrownMse selected those grey tiles with patterns...gonna ask him to take a close-up nxt time round...Kitchen windows up...a picture frm outside....Supposed t be white kitchen but I dint expect it to b tinted black...always thot dat white windows wld b tinted "greenish"....anyone noes wat Im toking abt?.... View of windows frm inside kitchen...doesnt look so "black-tinted" in dis case......Original door of BR2 being tiled up....As seen frm outsidePicture of tiled up door frm the inside...There's actually enuff space to put up a rack but we r gonna just make it "flush" with the walls..guess we'll box it up.....Now my biggest problem....kinda unforeseen...During earlier discussions with contractor, we had askd him n all of us thot dat the following vertical "beam" of abt 6inch cld b hacked away. Apparently, it cant.....tested it out after foreman Ah Meng tried to hack it with a hammer n hit steel. Well, at least, it can be tapered down to abt 3-4inch...still it's gonna be a bit of an eye-sore....Now wondering if I shd do a false wall for this area (abt 1.5m wide). We r gonna b putting our sofa on this piece of wall though......hmmm.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Greycat,My windows are powder-coated white and the glass is tinted slightly green. Maybe your windows' tinted black to blend in with the colour of the rest of the windows??Hope you have an enjoyable renovation!

Greycat 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2007 Hihi Dfish, I thk could be....u may b right man...My whole hse windows is actuali black-black (the HDB type) so when I wantd white windows for my living rm n kitchen, my contractor quite shockd....But my theory was dat in living area n kitchen, can oni see the white windows, wont be able to see 2 types of windows together anyway.....yah huh....mabbe ur right.....mabbe the contractor purposely put black-tint to match..... At a loss nw....BrownMse says if not black-tint, den ppl wld b able to look into kitchen (which is unfortunately next to lift lobby). I do agree with him. But living room windows not up yet, wonder if I shd get contractor to put up white-greenish tint window panes instead....White-powder coatd n black-tint windows is not what I envisioned le....

Still look nice lah..My yard windows lock also got problem, cannot unlock. Its those latch for sliding windows made of plastic, the quality not that good one. Its more than 2 weeks already and the window contractor still haven change! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I guess the kitchen windows would be open when u r in the kitchen.. so you will still be looking at the view outside.Wait for your pictures then can better visualise. If u really cannot stand the black tint glass, then change it.. afterall you will be staying there for years... But think again, my colleague ever told me this that usually we are particular about every detail of our house cos its our first renovated house. After some time, we won't be so bothered anymore.. Well, both you and BrownMse have to make a decision.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
