I think Fisher & Payel models can choose which side you want to open from.

See what rectifications can be postponed to after you move in. Do the necessary and messy ones 1st. The rest take it slowly.

Storage @ MBR bay window (incomplete)

Shoe cabinet (incomplete) Tracks for shelves

Hidden dresser: Texture of laminate Interior (incomplete)

Hi ledd_777, Check out the Goodhill Enterprise website and call for verbal quotation if you have the dimensions. Website: http://www.goodhill.com/app/index.php Check out the Song-cho cloth hanger @ http://www.songcho.com.sg/product.asp?Cate_ID=55&Cate_Name=Wel-Mi Series&Cate_Level=3://http://www.songcho.com.sg/product.a...mp;Cate_Level=3

Bay window ledge is laminate with verneer finishing. For cushions, probably can buy to put here rather than fixed to the ledge. You should be able to get the pole hangers from most hardware (五金) shops. Mondi is under Star Furniture Group. The things that I bought are on promotion.

Check out the website Goodhill Enterprise http://www.goodhill.com/ and ask for verbal quotation through phone.

Check out this thread on downlight: http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20787 $60/downlight with electronic ballast and strong thick sturdy casing

For downlights, check the brand and origin of the ballasts too. ATCO and PECO are good stuff.

Sorry, what I meant was even worse . I meant, if you buy from USA irobot website and ship the unit out of USA, USA side may not honor the warranty too

I think if you buy from USA irobot and ship it back to SG, the warranty is not valid. The warranty is for USA and Canada only.

Lighting pictures taken at night: (Not much different from the ones taken during daytime. Poor photography skills at work) Passage way lighting in living and isle to bedrooms The 2-way light switch at foyer (main door) is 4 gang. 1 for foyer (1 set of 2x13W cool white), 1 for dining PLC (3 set of 2x13W cool white), 1 for living room passage (3 set of 2x13W cool white, as seen in photo above) and 1 for isle to bedrooms (3 set of 1x10W warm white). Living room light groupings

Hi xherion, I took some photos of the round downlights at my old place (8 years old). The downlights do not have glass covers. Only daylight and warm white types. No cool white.

Another useful lesson I learnt today: Normally when you buy square PLC downlight, the ballast will be fixed to the top of the PLC casing. If 2 tubes, there will be 2 ballasts. Ballasts are quite heavy. My electrician removed them from the casing before installation and placed the ballasts on the false ceiling. This was to remove weight on the casing.

Hi st002, The tilting of the socket is controlled by a lever. Once installed, the lever is not easily accessible (i.e. hidden in false ceiling).

Reason: Lazy to think harder? All my 1x10W PLCs are warm white except for the WC (daylight) in the yard. PLCs are easy to change...if don't like, buy bulb to change Will go down again to take photos when the sun is down. Then can see the true colors of lighting.

That area is not a balcony. It is a planter that has a drop of 60cm. The quotation for this item I got from various companies: InnerView (my contractor): $1500 Rezt & Relax: $1780 Weiken: $950

Ceiling lights (3x36W daylight with IC to toggle 2, 1, 3 tubes) at guest room and study room Ceiling light (3x36W daylight with IC to toggle 2, 1, 3 tubes)) at MBR 3 set of 1x10W (warm white) at MBR bay window Note that the worker cracked the false ceiling when pushing the light in...need to touch up again Now that the lights are connected, the 2-way switch with LEDs are working Tip 1: If you have idea on the placement of PLC light especially in toilets, kitchen, yard etc, you may want to mark with pencil on the ceiling. Or mark them during discussion with foreman. If not, what you communicated with the foreman may not be communicate to the workers and they assume where you want them to be Tip 2: If unlucky, the lights you purchased from light shop may not be all working. For example, out of my 16 sets of 2x13W PLC downlight, 3 tubes got problems and 1 ballast got problem. Luckily, Homefix is just downstairs and I can easily get replacement for installation. I go down light shop for 1-to-1 exchange when I am free. The extra will be kept as spare for future.
