Smallboy

APPLES: dont know how to explain... some parts are false ceiling... some are L-box....... Yes... carpentry is always the last item in.......... PreciousJam, Poseidon, Ivy, Familyof4........... you are welcome next Sat. See ya! I will update you all along the way...... if Sat still can see carpentry. :)

Wa... pressure now on Uncle to perform magic... meeting him tomorrow............ :) Blum... have not decide yet............!!!! But MBR, I am eager to see too. I just chose the laminate for the interiors. You chose yours? I saw the tile you wanted (that expensive) one....... in a mag... also done for toilet. Very CLASSY. (From Smallboy's wife, Wendy)

okie.. let's set at 10am 25 April...... who can make it?

Our old place is at Ave 4 too...

Shall we all set a time on 25th April to meet? Then we can meet........... morning, afternoon or evening? PreciousJam and Familyof4, how??? Hope Uncle wont disappoint.........by Sat, got things to see.......

Will share tomorrow, after I see the BLUM sample and the final quotes for EACH item of BLUM I want... hee..hee... watching the prices like a HAWK.........

Preciousjam and Familyof4, Uncle count until very 'accurate'....... if you are coming NEXT sat, the carpentry will be up..... yipee!!!! This week, nothing much to see..... only tiles work and some hanging wires everywhere. Today the saga was soooo funny....... they did my false ceiling soooo wrong....... so low. That Jason had to 'fly' down and told the workers off. So, today they waste 1 day. Got to tear down everything and re-do tomorrow. I hope NEXT week, you can see false ceiling, the WC installed, the carpentry........... oh... my BLUM (my wife's....LOL)

Yeap, I bought from Desmond too and found that his service is great! Do check out the package. I bought that too.

I have been advised not to mount ceiling fan on false ceiling. Long run, may crack the false ceiling. So we decided to go for L-Box, not false ceiling so we can mount a ceiling fan in the original ceiling. (centre). :) Hope this is helpful for you.

hahaha.... When we first went to Uncle, he also told me that... you come and see first. If you dont like my workmanship, it is ok.......... HE IS THAT SURE OF HIS WORK. After we see 3 houses done by him, we know why! For that price, it is a good value for money. I will ask my hubby to PM you the quotes.

Carpentry and BLUM, can ask Jason. His guy brought me the catalogue. So glad I can find a BLUM person......... my hubby can't understand my obssession!!!! I want my kitchen to be like Jamie Oliver/Nigella Lawson tyep... hahahaha... watch too many cooking shows! Not so much top up........ rather you pay for the no. of BLUM drawers you want.

$200 for a 80cm is not too bad......... one ID quoted me $350.... FAINTS! if your ID is a good man, then tell him on the side lines.. you can buy BLUM and get him to install for you. If he can this favor for you.... GOOD MAN!

Yes.. that's the one! But wait, I got the same prices for BLUM from my contractor.......... it is not that far difference in prices.... Tempting you now! Way before I start my reno, I research on BLUM............ then I asked some ID and they quote me some ridiculous prices.... so i thought BLUM is out of my reach....... now Uncle said it is not so ex......... it is just depends on the markup of the contractor and ID............... so now I know... I can get BLUM at 'contractor' prices.... hee..hee...

From Wendy: Uncle knows my 'heart-desire' for my dream kitchen........ his guy promoting BLUM to me already..... very tempting!!! Esp when I see the full video in BLUM website.............. die lah... sold already.... money running out of the wallet. My hubby will be screaming in PAIN! :)

From Smallboy's wife (Wendy): In Ah Soon quotes/any ID quotes... they only give you a row of 3 drawers only. The rest are all 'open-door' cabinets. Yes.. Uncle already includes soft closing. But I want my kitchen to have those long drawers type (you see those Ikea advertisement)...... I dont want those doors type where I got to bend down and dig for things. I want it all pull-out system so I can access to my stuff easily. :)

I have that.... but mine is beige colours.. (off white)..... was very cheap... bought 12 years ago.....still using that...... no complaints about that. Can put in microwave to heat up food.......... :)

My contractor doing the carcass (the cabinets), doors etc.... I am loking to buy the internal drawers called Rationell fully extended drawers....... ie.. it comes with the runners, metal sides.... and that piece of wood for the base. The outside (door) is as per my contractor supplied. Ikea does not sell the runners only. You can check blum, though. They sell the runners, tracks.... soft closing etc. Dont know if I make sense.

wow.... very nice! Love the colour combi.....

NOw, wife frust and blur over KITCHEN drawers. She is adding lots of 'BLUM" style drawers....... initially wanted to just install the Ikea ones.... now the carpentry guy suggested BLUM and she is tempted! Any comments on IKEA and BLUM drawers??? She wants the metal box type.... dont want to see wood at the side.

Anyone has a Ariston Oven? Any comments.............. ???

I check my contract with Ah Soon, his company is listed as FU HUA... not sure if it is the same one you are asking.

hahaha.... I saw that too.... i have been seeing Jason on Sat, Mon and today.... his lens very slanted..... :) He very poor thing....... back aching and he is limping.... today he just got a jab at the hospital in the morning... He told me Ah Soon told him to start work in the morning, at night then go see doc. Jason told him off.......... Xiao... I can't walk, still ask me to work.......

hee..hee... we choose same tiles.......... but mine in Kitchen......... and I place the tile the other way...... And your WC+ Basin + rainshower deal is SOOOOOOOOO good! very cheap..... aiyo.. and I just got mine last sunday.

the hole is for some pipe to go in... I think... The smiley face (holes) is really really funny. Think the guy lost control of the drill................. :) Carpentry will be next week........... we just walked thru a 3 hours meeting last sat...... so tiring..... to confirm all capentry work............ hopefully you can see some next week. Ah Soon just called........ he said his guys start the fabrication of the wardrobe already......... very FAST! yippee..... :)

Yap.. that's what the guy said too... buy Crestar but more expensive............ We said we got budget... the next best buy is Fanco fans....
