Went to JB on a Fri afternoon for KDK fans. Traffic was light at the causeway and we were able to make a turnaround in 1.5 hrs. Indeed, the savings were huge! 4 ceiling fans for about S$630. That would cost about S$1200 - $1500 in SG.

Prices are indeed crazy. I recently inquired about glass tops for my dining table, just a 1.3m round dining table. First quote I got was $500 for tempered and $300 for normal glass. More expensive then the table :P

Seems like construction, renovation, furniture is a good industry to be in .... I honestly think that the id profit margins are very high ...

I too think the same. The costs have doubled or tripled since my last home renovation in 2006..

Another buy that exceeded initial budget. Ariston FK62 CXS. I assumed Ariston had removed the pizza function from their entry models, e.g. FH52... it's not listed on the specs, forcing those who need the pizza function to get the higher-end models. They also did away with the rotisserie function, which probably wasn't that useful after all.

Most of my work is done. All the shipment has arrived. What's left is for the carpenters to install the cabinets, electricians to mount the lights, plumber to install the bathroom accessories.



Still, we were wise to go down each day to take a look. There was some oversight, like they left out the internal colour PVC in the master bathroom cabinet. A wrong model of light was delivered wrongly. All these need to be highlighted immediately, else it'll be too late by the time it's finished.



Balcony light installed.

Hi Sentinel,

Did you consider Bosch? Can you share how much did the Ariston cost you? And where did you buy the same?
