duomaxwell, your carpentry works really look good and functional. So well thought through!

Thanks for sharing! 

Yes I was wondering about the doors. Luckily your toilets are spacious enough so you didn't have to change the doors...

Btw, how's the ceiling fan? Did you get it from Amasco?

 

Hi trcd,

Actually our toilets are not really spacious. Its just that we don't want to waste money since we already paid for the doors, so we will just keep using the doors until it gives us problem.

Currently for our master toilet, when there is somebody using the sink to wash hand and the door is closed, there is a need to be careful when somebody from outside is trying to open the door. I think there wouldn't be this issue if we changed to a bi-fold door.

We got our living room ceiling fan from Aeratron model AE3

Finally got the photos from ID and sometime to post after settling down after moving in on the 20 March.

 

 

Ooh... Could you please share if you are using induction or ceramic hobs? Are there only 2 "burners"? Which brand did you choose?  

I'm considering getting a glass top ceramic - so much easier to clean isn't it!

Your house really very "swee"! 

Btw was looking at the master bedroom wardrobe - the black groove lines are for aesthetics only? What type of doors did you install?

Hi trcd,

You mean this side of the master bedroom wardrobe?

If yes, there are 2 purpose for the black groove lines,

1) aesthetics

2) to "hid" the "hidden" door so that the small door (to place my wife's handphone as she always use it as her alarm) is not obvious when the door is closed.

 

Which doors are you referring to? Toilets? Bedrooms? If you are referring to Toilets & Bedrooms, we are using the doors provided by HDB.

Thanks so much for the info! To adjust to 815mm, do you need to remove the top of the dishwasher?

Hi teegz,

We don't need to remove the top of the dishwasher coz there is no "top" to begin with  Our model is designed to be in build into cabinet, think that's why there is no "top".

Hi duomaxwell,

Can you kindly share the height of the kitchen countertop? My ID said that because my dishwasher height is 845mm, the total kitchen countertop height is about 36inch. Concern is that it may be too high for my height

Hi teegz,

If you refer to the 2D drawing above, the height of our kitchen cabinet is 810+50(cement base) = 860mm.

The area whereby we placed our dishwasher does not have any cement base (Refer to picture below)

If you refer to Bosch dishwasher installation guide (Below), the height of the dishwasher is adjustable (815 to 875mm). As such, we adjusted the dish washer to a suitable height so that the bottom kitchen cabinet can stay at the height of 860mm. 

 

 

The height of the dishwasher can be adjusted with a screw driver and a spanner.

Not sure of your brand of dishwasher. For us, we asked the bosch sales person who sold us the dish washer and he advised us on the above. We brought ours from courts and the bosch sales personnel from Tampines Court Megastore was very knowledgeable and advised us on all these.

Our ID and carpenter made a special trip to Tampines Courts Megastore to test out and make actual measurement of the dishwasher before the fabrication of the kitchen carpentry.

Hi duomaxwell

1. May I know how mch your ID charged you per feet of the 3 tracks sliding door wardrobe (including the mirror and colour PVC)

2. What is the hardware you used for the TV console sliding door? Excel or blum hardware? Any part no.

Thanks

 

 

Hi t14388,

1. PM sent for the cost per feet for sliding door wardrobe

2. the hardware used for our living room TV console door is blum. It's nothing special, its just a normal hinge used for all our cabinet doors as well. So sorry, i don't have any part no for this hinge.
