Just met up with my contractor yesterday... one whole list of things to think and decided and resloved 1) Settle where all the eletrical points and lighting points are yesterday 2) Relise that I only need 1 light for my kitchen, but i bought 2 already . Not sure if can reject. 3) Contractor needs to know how high is the support for my fridge. My fridge will be near the entrance to the kitchen, hence need to make sure it can open totally without knocking into the drop off curb 4) Hv decided how the trunking of the air con should run and where the aircon should be. 5) Contractor intially ask for air con ppl to set up trunking first, then they paint over, then air con ppl to install aircon after that, which means 2 trips. Gain City say they charge $85 for additional trip. Sianz 6) then turns out that the best way the trunking should run is along the wall near the floor. This will cause my bed to be unable to pushed back to the wall, hence a gap in between. So the contractor suggest to do a fake decorative wall to cover the trunking, which means can have lights coming out from it or and put photos along wall. Will cost additional $1200 7) Hv decided how the inside structure of the built-in wardrobe. 8) The contractor given me a whole set of cateloges to bring home and deicide - type of doors - type of locks - type of cornice - colour of paint - type of cabinets - type of aluminium bi-fold doors I am feeling soooooooooooooo overwhelmed right now!!!!

Bought this 2-seater Lorenzo sofa (in khaki colour) from Courts Bukit Timah yesterday for $1398 inclusive delivery with 3 years warranty and $50 Courts voucher!

Yup. I will hv to keep reminding them on the delivery I guess and inspect properly.

the angle itself is not a 90 deg angle... think it is more than 90 deg, hence, look slanted. My place is full of odd angles

Hai, pillar in the middle of the house still cannot hack. HDB request for PE endorsement which means I have to pay another $650. In process for about 1 week already, so hopefully can pass by next week. Contractor seems quite confident can passed though. If cannot, means the whole layout have to be changed.

Hi! Went down to Balestier to shop for lights today. After walking into many shops, we ended up buying from STRASS Lightings because the prices seemed much lower. However, after coming back and viewing the forums, seems that that is many negative comments on them! I bought $430 worth of items from them which includes - 2 nos of round lights for kitchen - 2 nos of rectangular lights for 2 bedrooms - 2 nos of smaller rectangular lights of 2 bathrooms (similar to bedroom ones, except smaller - 8 nos of 13w x 2 round downlights for living room (he quote $15 per pc) ` I am pretty worried abt all the comments but my hubby says as long as the shell (the light itself) is ok, the bulbs (even if lousy quality) can be replaced. I hope he is right!! As for their service and delivery, i have to cross my fingerS and pray it is ok.

Its called Chye Sheng Hardware Ptd Ltd opposite 10 mile junction. Tel: 67625055 But warning first, it doesn't have a lot of choices but if you are looking for the basic items, it should serve you well.

Hi! Should be considered quite major ba ... hacking away everything...

Yesterday, contractor brought me to a very lok pok shop at Bukit Panjang to buy toilet and kitchen stuff (i.e. basins, sinks, WCs). Price cheaper than those Hoe Kee , Sim Siang Choon at IMM. Spent $880 in all!
