    *sigh*, my id say cannot conceal pipes in toilet... dun want to do for me. :(

    hee...went there see see look look, hope to get more reno ideas

    btw, their units are all having open concept kitchen

    did your ID tell you why cannot conceal? concealing pipes require lots more work though...

    the haze has got another victim i supposed..

    MC only means a northward spiral of your postings numbers.. :D

    hi xebay

    well, we didn't want a conventional design.. as i said in my first few posting, this is a very bold thing to do and can cuts both way. Especially, thinking about the resale value provided of cos if we are ever going to sell. We just felt that there are too many similar houses out there and we were quite upset with designers who simply cut and paste from each other.. we wanted originality yet not too overdone.. it was hard to balance frankly and we are still having arguments around some part of it..

    totally agreed. we cannot accept piece meal designs some ID/contractors proposed, especially my hubby, who is exceptionally particular on wkmanship and detail plannings. tat explains y in d end we r spending a bomb on our new hse. :help:

    btw, ur hse vvvvvv swee!!! :dribble::dribble:

    hw much is ur reno gng to cost u huh?

    Our Neighbours...

    One day when we visited our place when it was still early days during the reno, our neighbour pop out and say hi.. very nice man look to be in his late 50s... he started greeting us and tell us many stories about the neighbourhood.. after awhile, he started telling us the dos and donts to stay there..

    Both myself and wtb listen intensely like a young couple (not so young la) receiving words of wisdom..

    He went on and on about which neighbours are not in good terms with who and who.. and why we shouldnt park at certain part of the road, blah blah.. gosh.. so many rules to follow?? in my mind i was thinking why so many things to say one... neighbour help each other can liao mah.. anyway that was the first meeting..

    after that everytime i go there, he will serve us drinks... he even went to our half baked house and give us a few pointers here and there.. I was really trying to be polite as the reno really inconvenients him quite abit, his being the adjacent house and some adjacent walls are affected..

    Anyway, the relationship was really on a very amicable basis. Me and WTB were still thinking what a nice neighbourhood...........Until one day, he was very upset when he saw us.. after realising that we are shifting the entrance of our house.. he says we disturbed the peace of how cars are parked now.. as mine is a corner unit and at the end of the road, many household parks their car right infront of my unit.. anyway. tough to explain but our change in entrance did cause abit of changed in the norm..

    me and wtb was like oh.. "did we created some animosity before we even move in... " and the truth fact is "YES" we did..

    Recently, my contractor and PE was telling me that the authorities started asking alot of questions on our project.. and it was not common that they asked all these questions as those are not the norm.. we were even asked to cut out a piece of our structure for testing!!! My contractor and PE says, someone must have complained to the authority and they have no choice but to take action.. what the ****... all finger points to my immediate neighbour.. he is obviously still very upset with the gate changed!!!! He says now all the cars have to use his gate as the turning point rather than mine!!! :furious:

    Anyway, for CNY, I sent them a hamper just to try to make peace..

    i dont know what else i can do to such a bossy neighbour.. everything i did was with proper authorization....

    forgive my rattling.. but what to do?? :dunno:

    what a great start to our new life... :curse:

    hmz.. not on sales, we bot them at GWC few months ago.. got sales ar.......... ????????? where? what products? I need a few more chairs..

    i received the email in early feb:

    think the sales is @ Kartell Flagship Store
