Marble Ledge

Our ID installed marble ledges in both our bathrooms for us! That day when the pieces of marble ledges arrived, I tried to carry it. Oh wow, it's soooo heavy I barely can hold 1 piece properly. Real thick solid marble!

In MBR bathroom

They are the same size. Photo angle made it look different lol.

In Common bathroom

hihi quick question, did you not do any overlay of tiles? the marble slabs in your toiets are very heavy. how did your contractor install those slabs on?

thanks!

Is there a lot of rectifications to be done??

Majority are touch-ups here and there... It seems like our painter is always not doing a good job Carpentry need some touch-up on trimmings.

We also just found out last Saturday that a part of our bronze-tinted mirror is chipped-off...think workers knocked it because last time never see it.

I'm not sure how they overlay the marble slabs... didn't get a chance to ask our ID on this.

I can contribute a little on this here, I also installed shampoo slab, I saw tiler cutting a groove into the tiles, about 1 inch deep, tiler say doing this must avoid those red and blue tape wall as might hit water pipe in it. I also chosed to cut the grove on the same tiles in case I need to touch up wall next time so less tile to replace. He cut the top line and bottom line then chisel off the middle part to make the groove. One side of the groove is deeper so he can insert the slab nicely into place, then touch up with white cement. I used granite instead of marble. HTH.

Thanks for explaining! Quite difficult to picture how it's done though.

End of Week 10 (#throwback)

It's been a hectic weekend with wedding & furniture shopping & checking of house!

Last Saturday, my ID-little-sister finally got time to drop by my place to check for defects. Her eyes really can see a lot of things we cannot see =X Not sure is that a good or bad thing... because I felt very stress after she pointed out all the rectifications that needs to be done ><" But I believe she wants to make sure our dollars are well spend.

I think our ID felt the stress when we bombarded him (over whatsapp) with all the rectifications that needs to be done. Anyway, I shall not go into details. Mostly carpentry trimmings issue & painting job that needed to be touched-up / clean-up.

Yesterday night met ID at our place and glad that 1/2 of the rectifications were done. Today, his carpenter & painter will come and finish the rest. Also met him to confirm the color for our kitchen tempered glass backsplash.



Oh ya also haven't update last week, our iQuartz top is up!

Forget to take the latest photos when we were there yesterday. Our place are 90% complete, left 10% consisting of touch-up + backsplash + hood to be installed + replacing a small piece of our tinted bronze mirror.

This weekend will be cleaning, cleaning, cleaning of new place + packing up all our remaining stuff in current room! We are moving-in IN 5 DAYS!

Everything has shaped up so well! Really like what you've done to the toilets. Coincidentally, we have also purchased frosted doors for our toilets, hehe

Excited for you! 5 days, wow!

Ya now not stress le! Gonna focus on moving in and make it a cozy home instead of a perfect-house

The backsplash is in light-greyish color. Actually I wanted something glittery to contrast with our dark wood laminates, but apparently there's only a particular company who do it & heard it's more expensive. Hope this will turns out nice too!
