sohzai 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2009 (edited) Hi ordix, thanks for ur info. Went through your blog and your house looks awesome. Actually i have want to level the slope at our window also. Judging from your comment, seem like you prefer the orig slope to allow more light to come in, and more spacey feel also? Your toilet is lovely, cool man. I agree with weii, nice home there ordix! Anyway, this thread seems to be "alive" slightly these few days. How are you guys? We seemed to have "quietened" down since Chinese New Year this year. It's like, you remember this? And when's our carwash gonna happen? haha! Edited November 3, 2009 by sohzai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Judging from your comment, seem like you prefer the orig slope to allow more light to come in, and more spacey feel also? Your toilet is lovely, cool man. thankss. i tink most of us levelled the slope dunno what the hdb designer was thinking then. waste our money to level that part. i've seen a few neighbours' box up the slope. some use cement, some box up n paint white but most ppl would blend in evenly with the walls. if u opt to box up and level the slope evenly with the wall then paint white, then i would prefer the orig slop as allow more lights. cos i tink 314 units bit lack of lights, whole house quite dim... eerie... haha but luckily my designer chose the right color for the laminate box up, n i requested them to not blend evenly with the wall so it looks like a different structure the whole thing looks bit protudingly out, bout 3mm i think, so look bit more like a deliberate feature of the bay window. old ppl cant accept my toilet... haha too RA like fishtank. anyway my neighbour house started to have alot of cracks appear in the house... as shes in related line in construction, she said its not those minor cracks. its crack from various walls to ceilings.. hdb refuse to fix but later claim they will fix for them 'out of good will' the workmanship of our flats really mediocre, shu do a throughout check of cracks in our house. bring this up as i saw a few hairline cracks at my bay window. but most likely i will just paint it off. hopefully those cracks don't come back again.

I guess basically is because of different expansion properties under temperature change. Edited November 4, 2009 by sohzai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
