WC, pipes & water heater are installed quite early, after tiling/painting. but the other accessories like taps, wash basins, bidet sprays, bathroom accessories (eg toilet roll/towel holders) were installed after chemical wash.

bathroom accessories should b last & after chemical wash

i guess these workers won't bother to take care of stuff which don't belong to them. i've seen cigarette butts left in my flat too.

we feel each other! all the best!

people, i feel you. after all, been through it myself. but i'm very sure all will be well & you will be enjoying the fruit of your labour really soon.

i think for alkaline it's 9? acidic i think it's 3? u can check out more info on the website

i saw this at grafunkt too

just to add my 2 cents worth : you need to ask Alan what works will be done on a daily basis. tell him you want to be there to supervise. i know it's hard but i've learnt that it's better to brief the workers what you need & how you want it to be done. no doubt alan will rectify the mistakes but rectifications do delay the reno progress & it does get quite frustrating.

Hi my contractor has yet to send me the final bill so i have no idea what is the total cost.

but need to top up about another $1k...but most likely will get it. stools too small for them..haha. i wanted to take a pic of the 2 of them together so placed them on the stools. they prefer the sofa, armchair & floor anytime.

my vote goes to layout 2 too!

nope. K is definitely not her carpenter. she has listed down all her sponsors. can check them out on her blog.

ordered a desk from scanteak. not sure how it will turn out in the bedroom. but i think my chair will fit in nicely with the desk tho..hmmm had to return the desk i bot from grafunkt as it's wobbly & i realised that the desks from that range are all wobbly. as i can't get a full refund, only a store credit, been trying to source for a replacement item. contemplating to get this: might place this in the bedroom. went to collect my stools from egg3: and it so happens that today is the last day for their storewide 20% discount! decided to get a smile coffetable from them. price is cheaper, compared to lorgans. and i love that the sizes can be customised

most of her stuff are sponsored i'm pretty impressed that her taobao stuff & ikea furniture look like really expensive items in her house.

lots of furniture not in place yet. some late, some not bought yet. so may take a while to update the rest. but my reno is more or less done. didn't do any fanciful stuff. by the way did any of you guys see xiaxue's renovated house? maybe can check it out for some inspiration. and coincidentally, the supplier whom i got my smeg fridge from sponsored her the smeg fridge

got it for $30+. not advisable for furkid coz it's made of rubber.

hihi that one not papa bear chair replica - the design looks similar. it's just an armchair. bought it from room of woods but it's the one & only piece that they had.

haha no leh..but i get startled by it at times

hi his number can be found in my signature.

received a few enquiries regarding the fan which i ordered from australia & thought I shall post my review here. the fan is called eco2, which is supposed to be an energy saving fan. and it's a 52inch blade fan. since i ordered it from oz, there is no warranty for any defects so it's a matter of "heng suay" - but i took the risk anyway. as i wanted something different for my living area, i sourced around for a cheaper alternative to haiku. i love the eco2 design - simple & sleek. airflow strength - good. and the best thing about this is, it is very silent. even the delivery person who sent over my kdk standing fan commented that it is very quiet. fans from australia can work in sg. the oz supplier whom i bot the fan from was very prompt in answering to my emails. delivery was fast too. i spent close to S$600 for the fan (which includes shipping). payment was through paypal. my verdict:

i used helping hands. their price is reasonable & service is good. i've had friends who also engaged their services.

this is not haiku fan. it's just a normal fan called eco2. ordered it online from Australia. about S$600 includes shipping.

i'm letting go my old watersource alkaline system at $800 (nego). Bought it at $2500 about 1.5yrs ago. Please PM me for discussion.

ordered this thru amazon & it arrived at my postbox today! very fast!

oh it's a LED E27 light bulb. here's a copy of the invoice:
