niko_niko 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2007 Harlo everybody,It had been some time since we posted anything on our blog. Now that we r going into our 7th month of renovation, we r happy to annonuce that our long-awaited platform and the balcony window is finally up.Initally we were told by our dear Kelvin that the balcony window will be up by the time we returned from our trip to japan...(gosh..we missed the place....my hubby still cant get over the food there...) but unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances it was further delayed... And so it was finally up on 30 March. In the meantime, Kelvin also proposed new changes to our house especially the basin for our MBR toilet which I simply love it so much!! And true to what diva79 had said...he's truely a lobang king!! weh he brought us to buy our furniture.But we got another title to bestow him...Mr Makan Lobang King! My hubby is really enjoying his impromptu suggestions to makan places. Hmm.... I kinda missed the salted veg duck soup... Enough talk here, some pics to share: Before we go into reno pics:Japan!!One of the cake shop in Japan (Osaka)Tako Yaki (Check out the size of the tako!!! )Now back to the main topic:'New Version' of our basin in MBR toilet:Our window & platorm at the balcony:Another angle of our balcony:We'r glad that most of the thing are on track now so we can now concentrate in preparing for our wedding which is in approx 2 mths time!!

niko_niko 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2007 Just to check... your balcony below is just glass panel ?? look nice...Yup. It's juz glass below the window. A kerb was raised at the bottom for the frame to sit in as well as to prevent seepage of water.Nice basin...to be overlaid with granite?Nope, tat's very much the finished product minus the cabinet (a small one) which my id is adding at the bottom. Not very sure wat it will actually look like. But am looking foward to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucky for us, we had several tries with heavy downpours after the widow was up but no sign of seepage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But we couldn't take any photo as he had lend his camera to his friend...wrong timing...Very happy to see the study table up already!!! minus the drawers. Finally got a decent good place to study liao. Kelvin's skin must be really itchy...called me up to disturb me saying there's problem with the carpentry!!!! Saturday (23/06/07) - Went for my first fitting for my gowns in the early morning. We only managed to pop by our place late at night due to a dinner appt. Pretty pleased with the progress. Our study area and kitchen cabinets are already done up. What's left were the box-up at our foyer and MBR as well as my coffee corner. Below pics are the almost completed products:Our Study Area:Kitchen PicsSunday (24/06/07) - Rest day for the carpentry guys. But not for us...it's our 过大礼 Day.

niko_niko 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2007 Cont'dTuesday (26/06/07) - Kelvin called to inform that the carpentry works are completed. So we popped by our place and pretty happy with the 'final' outlook of our place. But alas...got a little problem...the opening for the wires for our tv in the MBR is too low! !! The shoe rack is missing! !! Called up Kelvin...and arranged to meet up with him the next day to rectify.Other pics:My coffee corner (Kelvin kept saying it's a bar counter):View of our Living Room:Wednesday (27/06/07) - My hubby (who's already on MC due to gastric pain...so poor thing) had to meet up with Kelvin in the morning to settle the 'missing' shoe rack as well as the opening ...Thank goodness, the carpentry boss was very prompt to rectify the 'opening' problem. As for the shoe rack, some improvision is done at the box-up at our foyer to accomadate the shoe rack.Thursday (28/06/07) - Rectification done for the opening at the box-up in our MBR.The box-up in our MBR:No prize for guessing what behind it...It's our toilet... Looking forward to the rectification works to be done later today...gosh! It's Friday already!8 more days to our wedding dinner!!! By the way, our dear ID was still at the glass fabricating factory checking out on our glass at around midnight... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
