Snowpear And Braised Egg's Tiny Home

Saw a shop that specialized in carpets at The Furniture Mall. But may be quite pricey.

Anyway, some furniture shops sell 'carpet' or 'rugs' too. Think I saw some at lifestory too at Great World City.

yeah, went to lifestory before. can't find any suitable ones

maybe will go check out furniture mall. thanks for the info Pencil!

applefreak, the tampines courts are u referring to the mega mall there or tampines mall???

oh, persian style carpets definitely out for our house coz doesn't match

BTW, 2day went up to check. A portion of the floor tiles in the hall had been done up. seems quite slow ley the speed. coz when we were there to see how he did, he took about 5 mins to lay each tile. he was there from 9am to 6pm. but only 2/3 of the hall done up tink he eat snake every now and then

it's the courts at the mega mall

good to work slowly then will ensure that the tiles are laid properly mah

other than laying the tile, the tiler also got to mix the sand/cement and slurry

can't mix too much coz dry up cannot use liao

oh i juz came back from courts mega mall but didn't go to the furniture section coz was looking around for lcd tv. the salesman there keep following us around even though we told him prefer to look around 1st

ya, hopefully he did a proper job when we were not around keke... actually we were wondering y they did hall tiles 1st since nothing else had been done yet. wouldn't it damage the tiles since they still need to deliver cement and kitchen tiles and all other materials???

after checking, we found 1 piece of tile not level. can feel the edge and feels like "kicking" the edge when walking on tat peice. will ask him to rectify on Mon keke...

i only know if the living, dining and bedrooms use the same tiles

coz the doorway tiles must be one piece as far as possible

so they have to lay from the doorway to ensure this

2day went up to spot check again. not much progress, living room tiles still not done up yet. MBR toilet only 70% of the wall tiles done up. dunno it's me gan jeong or the speed of the reno is really slow...

Looks the same as last week:

How come must soak in water before tiling??? !!

Expensive sand, better make use of it carefully

[applefreak 1]

haha.. i feel the waiting time between tiling and carpentry (in between doing plumbing, electrical, false ceiling) longest.. coz plumbing, electrical and false ceiling cannot tell much difference to the unit ma.. but once starts carpentry after that, lots of difference..

---------------------------

fortunately, almost all the items like taps, mixer, WC, shower head, basin, lights all purchased liao. just waiting for their "turn" to be delivered keke...

but still haben decide on the shoe cabinet and vanity top design HB said my design for the shoe cabinet CMI
