MHB 3 Report post Posted July 30, 2013 The lights from taobao look good. I also bought the industrial pendant for dining area. What material is it made of? Hope it feels sturdy!Hi greglhc,Should be metal, maybe aluminium... Mine still quite solid but need at least 1 rod to hold the head and the base together. Otherwise, the light will be flimsy.

MHB 3 Report post Posted July 30, 2013 Camping here to see the "sewing machine" vanity. Hi sappyd,Yeah... The sewing machine leg is ready, waiting for the solid top and the sink to be installed...My friend even asked me, why don't you join the pedal with the water hose. So water will come out when the pedal is stepped on like how people get water in the ancient day... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MHB 3 Report post Posted August 6, 2013 Yeah... Finally finished the wedding photoshoot Took a random pic at the place This picture reminds me of the very old 周星弛 movie, 国产007... where there is a painting which looks similar to the photo... HahaAnyway, back to Reno, the house is wash for the first time and now look clean for the first time haha...Went to PD door to get the half louvre door for my common toilet ( the upper half will be the louvre and lower part is a black acrylic piece) With the rim to be grey color. Got the grey door to match with my cement screed kitchen...My main door is getting from bad to worse... Sometime can't even open while other time, the door opened by its own (suspected the latch is not working fine)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MHB 3 Report post Posted August 10, 2013 It is really lightning fast, 3 out of my 4 days break has ended! Argh... How I wish the clock will stop and Monday will never come... Hehe... Anyway, with such a long holiday, it means more shopping and the hole getting bigger...Still lacking a bed frame even though I got my mattress in march... My wifey has been eyeing on the picket and rail Chicago bed frame since day 1 after we got our mattress but the price really put us off... Imagine we had been to all the different shops to look at the bed frame again and again but didn't make the move as the price is really high. In the end, we even think of buying the scanteak bed frame because of the price.. Then to our surprise, we saw a good price on the web and thus, we quickly go down to the place and get the frame, together with the side table and a chest...

MHB 3 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 Finally, the chipped main door and the 3 ugly grey bedroom doors are replaced... The white doors really match my blue wall... and my common toilet door is up too. The unevenness is really obvious once the frame is up... This is due to some thickness differences at the toilet entrance... I was not around when the installer was taking measurement and also on the installation day.. Hopefully, the white area can be patchedAlso, my wifey is determined to get the Yale digital lock as she was impressed by Xiaxue's blog... Haiz, no choice so spent more lor... So far so good though, the fingerprint recognition is really convenient... Say bye bye to keys...This week carpentry will be up, my Reno is really slow and steady... Haha... Anyway, not in a rush too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
