my shadow blinds from qoo10 were installed today :D

when fully drawn

when partially drawn

the bomb shelter vent was also reopened and a vented panel put in instead of the round, protruding one

the kitchen glass backing

and the joint line near the service yard window. i think it's fine... doesn't bother me much. considered having the small piece removed, but that would mean the HDB grey striped accent would show through... so i opted to patch it back instead.

hello! I don't know the pfr price of my quartz. I was informed of the joint line right from the start. I was told quartz and granite will have joint lines beyond certain lengths. (: I knew solid surface wouldn't have joint lines but I wanted smth hardier so chose quartz instead (:

Yes. Quartz and granite have joint lines. Dark colours will look less obvious.

Looks like two pc is not so bad after all

mr k's workers helped me to install i printed the instructions off the qoo10 page for them to refer to. if you're handy with power tools and drilling it shouldn't be too hard (i'm hopeless haha). each blind is held up by just two brackets. yea i chose to do two pieces because one piece will be quite heavy and i don't know if the mechanism will hold up after some time. and also this leaves the option of having one window open and the other closed.

hmm good question. hahaha. it didn't cross my mind to extend the brick wall there. it'd end awkwardly either way... and i don't have budget to brick-wall across the living room haha.

Ya own contractor confirm cheaper but doesn't mean the quality will be good.

With ID they can advise you like color, help you coordinate and in some way ensure quality.

Speaking this cause recently I got a bad experience with a contractor. Cheap but the work they did suxs and feedback they will claim is "like that one".

As I still have some outstanding work (deposit paid) , will only expose this contractor after all my work is completed

hi the power socket's face plate was removed, then the wall was tiled, and the face plates attached back. don't think there are any tiles under the face plate. we had a hole drilled to hang our clock, but it's along the cement grout line and not drilled into the brick tile itself

i'm not sure how/if mounting a wall mount tv would affect the brick wall... may have to check with the pros on this!
