mrmerry 2 Report post Posted June 14, 2013 Ok.. this is how the house looks like in the day. => cant wait to move in!My Angmo chu with singapore flavour comin to me july! The cupboard laminates are up, though missing the white stone top. Mrs Merry assures me the Aspen top is not too dirty.. but pictures are not doing it justice. PRAY.Cupboard lids all up! notice no handles? Clean lines.This is pending the marble top for the sinks! ok.. need to sit there and enjoy my hot shower..asap.The daylight version is much more closer to what i had in mind for the house. Though i would say the night time version makes me happy too.The strain of doing the house renovations and wedding together are finally starting to show up.. but i wouldn't change anything in the house. =) im so in love with my q house.

Let's hope this $$$ can save the yard from being flooded whenever a "typhoon" hits us. I'm just thinking how to survive through year end monsoon season..Please share your experience after that. Cos I'm thinking of using outdoor blinds for my service yard too, instead of fixing windows. Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrmerry 2 Report post Posted June 24, 2013 And so its been a while!!After the amazing day...Finally time to focus on the house with some updates!First all... the outdoor binds are up!Loving the wind and flexibility the binds are giving us. Been using them so far and no issues, and seem to be easy to pull and holding well against the wind.Well.. too bad for the hangers outside which i tot would be able to hold my teeshirt that i left to dry without any clippers.. it flew off.. Sorry whoever it landed on.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrmerry 2 Report post Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) @macuser77IT FEELS AWESOME. Sitting there on the cleaned ledge.. the hot shower hitting down like a rain shower just purely relaxes the body. ( because im sitting down and the shower head is raised quite high so it actually gives the feeling of rain shower with the flexibility of the shower handle! ) Problem is it takes a while to heat up the water.and how the storage heater looks like in the common toilet. ( actually i would have to look up to see it so its not as bad as i thought it would be. )In the meanwhile , we were cleaning up the house mopping n sweeping a few times to await the furnitures to come today. See all the cleaning stuff we got for the new house. Its expensive stocking up a new house from scratch!The furniture shop did a booboo and scheduled the deliveries tomorrow instead of today when we took leave to settle everything today! Mrs merry was already grouchy from cleaning the house and she was scolding the furniture company who promised us tomorrow so.. have to take leave tomorrow again.

mrmerry 2 Report post Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Luckily theres still a few deliveries made today.My 55 inch sony tv looks puny on the wall.. Will aim a 65 OLED inch next time when prices are more reasonable. Now the search for the elusive tv console to hold them all continues on!The big *** fridge is here! FINALLY CAN HAVE CHILLED DRINKS WOHOOO. Washer and dryer also here, but because the tap given by the hdb is not suitable and dont "hook up " well, so have to wait for plumber tomorrow again to change the head. (-_- SIAN) before stacking the dryer on top. Ok the serta willow spring mattress is also here as well, however the bed frame is still not . My table, chairs and sofa also.More touch ups from the painters on the dirty walls, carpenters to seal up some holes we found between the carpentry and flooring. Gotta say it looks much better now. Skirting corners were sand down also so its not so sharp. The guys from the PD door also came to reapply white silicon over the translucent ones which has turn yellowish. Yucks. More acid wash/sanding of texture tiles on missed spots of putty or paint.Overall, my ID is amazingly on the ball and quite a perfectionist himself while scrutinising every detail looking for stuff we might have missed too.One thing we dint expect was the not so solid feeling tt the vinyl flooring has given us, though we have grown to love it as its much more " springy " and feels better on the heels for me actually as beneath the clipping system are foam and because of that, you can feel some spots are deeper than some, though its not tt big an issue to me as its much more comfortable to walk on and much Given a choice again i might go for the more solid feel tiles but i think its more of being used to it for 30 plus years. im already starting to grow to love the floor as its not cold and hard when the air con is on and its kinder on my feet. lol Edited June 24, 2013 by mrmerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrmerry 2 Report post Posted June 25, 2013 Hi MrMerry,Is that marble for kitchen countertop and back splash? It is looking fabulous! Mind letting me know how much it cost for the countertops. Thanks.Hello wtg54, its actually quartz i did it for both sides though on hindside i really dint need it for the sink side. but it looks too cool Really dint like crystal glass.Did marble for the vanity in the bathrooms though, at the sides also to protect against any water splashes but luckily dint cause we dint like the feel of the marble.Hope it helps! BTW i dunno the cost .. Mrs merry might have but i doubt so as the amendments keep going on i think the quote for the worktop is lost somewhere... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
