forkie

Fowah very very nice Tv console/feature and MBR toilet. We chose something similar like your tv feature too But mine maybe much lighter in color hehehe The tiles in MBR was what we were contemplating to get ! Very pretty ! But in the end we gave that up coz worried the lines might be tough to clean in future. My Lady says wet area might grow algae or wad zzZzzz.. Wasted really look so pretty !

Actually not bad la. I dont really like fast work 1, wait they anyhow do how sia My electric pts are more or less finished. Monday i will drop by and chat with the eletrician. There is a few pts i need to rediscuss with him. Plumber will oso drop by on monday as well to start doing the pipes.

I think he meant not very expensive and not experienced

Haiz... Yah... expecting > 50k even @_@ The metalic grey mosiac i dont recall seeing 1.... Actually i wasnt paying attention to Mosiac tiles until i saw the diff length black mosiac tiles.

Looking pretty good ! Keep the pictures coming

I like this 1 best ! so kewllll !

Yah now my lady and I are pretty worried that our life savings will more or less gone once the hse is done. Kinda regretting abit investing so much on it >_< Initially i chose the tiles are Lim Chuan Heng <-- forgotten the name so i just anyhow assume lol. But my Lady didnt really fancy any of it and grumble when we reached home. So no choice I told my ID to get another date and go down for tile selection again. So she suggested another shop, Hasfary which is the same stretch lo. I remebered your tiles cos we were having same theme idea ma, only different is i am anti floral ahaha so my Lady didnt choose those. But your selection seems pretty interesting which i quite keen to see. The floral might be a very good feature sia ~!

So how is it going ? Haven seen much update from you man

Oh ! quite true, I have 1 contractor oso suggesting to overlay then to hack as well. Can really save quite a lot actually. But coz my flat is really old so i decided to just change everything just in case. Not very sure the pros and cons of overlaying the existing tiles then to hack and replace. I'm guessing like maybe if overlaying will abit heavier and thicker for the floors ? Are there any distinctive pros and cons of doing overlaying rather then hacking and retile ?

Sad the balcony is costing me a bomb ! not much picture for the time being i guess. Wiring and piping works is in progress which i need to wait until they finish before carpentry arrive Oh my avatar kewl ah ? thanks ! Eh... It was there leh ! With the rest of mosaic tiles actually. I took the samples and walk around looking for matching tiles to match that day.

I like your hse better ! 5Rm point block and in central somemore ! Also your flat layout seems better then mine. Squarish which is perfect to plan n design ! Coz of my big open balcony i had to invest > 5k to cover it up T_T Not only that, Old flat have too many niches until i am going crazy ! Need to find ways to box up or cover them. Farnie thing i really remember seeing your tiles @ Hasfary lol !

Wah great location TPY. To top it off you got a 5room @ high flr ! so envy ! It is really good to live as close with parents/in laws which is why I decided to move from 1 end to the other. The 3D really is nice. Love the simple black and white theme. My lady somewhat deviate from black and white to something more daring along the way ^_^; hopefully will turn out well in future. So far I believe hacking is done liao right ? I cant wait to see the tiling ! You have very good taste in tiles selection ! I am really eager to see how it actually looks !

If using the tiles ID bought maybe canot do that. Coz that 1 is glass tiles and when cutting away the edges and buffing it, the perimeter might not be clear anymore. Hmmm diamonds or buttons... That 1 i try not to bothered by it too much. As long the Lady in the house is satisfied then all ends well. I am having headaches on alignments and boxing of unsightly pipiings/casing solutions.

Hmmm i duno about the L box thingy but ur kitchen... wah...... ENVY ! Both my wife and I love white but we really have no courage to try that. Cuz we were really too lazy to do frequent cleaning so we gave up the idea haiz As for the Alter i do agree that dont do glass backing. Really dangerous especially if kids are running around in the house. Using wood backing also look nice on the picture ma. hehe

I find it quite ok actually. But My lady dont really like it. She find it too plain. Initially she wanted the 2 tones grey tiles to cross tiles all over the bathroom. But my ID did the wall tiles 1 tone. Floor tiles 1 tone. So my Lady was not very pleased about it. Then ID sweat and quickly suggest other solutions like adding these diamonds to make it look more interesting. So far i think my Lady buy off her idea on it. Hmmmm as for me.... i can live with it i guess. Still quite ok to me.

Living room Wiring Think wiring will take a few days more since i doing full rewiring. Bedroom 2 Most of the casings i will be doing inside the rooms. The from there it will drill out and have only the base plate appear on the living dining room area. A so call... "Concealed" wiring.... No choice ! That is the best we can come out with to follow HDB regulations Some adjustments here n there and I have a problem with Bedroom 2. Think of getting 1 side of the niche to be box up if not next time really diff to place a bed in. So might have to ask Pergo guy to take out the area of the skirting and the electric guy to shift the casing abit so i can box up the area. Water piping oso have a problem. Was thinking using Back to back so my MBR will not have pipings for the shower mixer. The thing is Common Toilet and MBR Toilet is not in same alignment due to diff designs of tiling. So if Common Toilet shower mixer is in centre, when the plumber drilled the pipe through the Master Toilet, it will be more to the left and not centre. Tried a brainstorm an idea but really have no other alternatives. The best solution so far is to use another bracket when the pipe comes out and then run the pipes to the centre of the Master Toilet Shower area. Will be kinda unsightly but at least better then running pipes all over the place haiz....

Electric/Aircon day Well The electric man and air con guy are running their wires and pipings ! Air con man is pretty fast ! But i dont like it !!! Coz by the time i reached.... almost all done. I didnt really have time to check their materials used. After reading n sourcing info from here, I requested Amaflex 1/2" Copper gauge 22 16mm PVC pipe Really diff to confirm they did used the materials i ordered. So i was not pleased and my ID was kinda panic as my face was totally black and rummaging the pipe lines to see if i can make out the materials. So far the copper pipe did look thicker then the rest I seen b4, but i cant be sure it is gauge 22 as the info only comes with the plastic bag with the coil. Cant find the freaking plastic everywhere..... PVC pipe is ok but the insulation is called Nyflex Cl1 1/2 ???? Eh ??? Y not Amafelx ? Are they the same ???? Haiya anyway since the thickness is the same and using Cl1 i guess i let that pass. Told ID since she is so confident of the aircon man she recommend, next time if got problem I guarantee her she will be the 1st person i look for. MBR Aircon piping Less then a day MBR and all other rooms are done.

I drop by most of times when i can make time. Cant really rely too much in ID. I prefer see and know the actual problems. From there i will discuss with ID and respective contractors on that area. ID says using a kind of chemical which is very very strong. So wont drop off in long run or wad. Ermmm... good ah ? hmm i find them ok ok lo, but my Lady does like them alot so I guess we are going ahead with the suggestion. The Black mosiac is what i insisted on :X i kinda like that design lol. Finally i have some1 who like it too ! Not really. So far only 1 black clock with 1m in diameter. They dont have anything smaller of different color.

Guy from Pergo have finished all 3 bedrooms ! Fwoah ~~~ think only take 1 - 2 days and tala ~ all done up. Skirtings is pretty nicely done up. MBR MBR flooring Bedroom2 Bedroom 2 flooring Overall we are pleased on the laminated flooring. My lady was a little disappointed on the little rounds rings on the wood all over the floor. No choice since they did not have those only linear lines wood grain and this is the closest they have.

Living Room Base for False ceiling up ! Need to extend abit longer behind coz we think will wana have the ceiling fan further from the TV feature wall. Kitchen/Toilet stuffs Stuffs from Heritage arrived ! Think gona install them but still have to wait for plumber to fix the piping. Kitchen Drawings Figuring out the specs for the kitchen cabinets

Reno is progressing pretty well. Front door niche was boxed up promptly Shoe Cabinet Structure of Shoe Cabinet was done up as well. Shoe Cabinet Behind gypsum board up to cover the room.

Hmmmm new ideas ! ID suggested add few deco tiles on Common Toilet to make it a little more interesting. She paste a few tiles to show me her proposal Common Toilet WC wall The WC wall with a few deco tiles Deco Tile 1 Closed up view of Deco tile Dcco Tile 2 Another View. I am quite alright with her suggestion. My Lady is pretty interested actually. There should a few more ways to add in these deco tiles. Later in the afternoon ID will show us her other designs.

At Taka actually got it for $48.90. Only have last pc hanging there after I took 1pc.

New purchase ! Bought a DIY Big Time Clock from Artfriend. Intending to put it on top of my tv feature. My carpenter says will give me 900x900mm for it but this clock have a needle of 20" -___- Means about 1m in diameter when rotating zzz The box dont really looks big. My friend mms me this picture when i ask he check out for me hehehe But still bought it and maybe i ask my carpenter to cut the clock "hands" ( made of aluminum so shouldnt be tough to cut ) to the size so i can hang it up.

Haiyoooo ! I feel for you man. Both HN and La cafe fully paid ? If is me when they wana collect my balance payment they need to wait long long sia :X
