Yup. It was in the news. We are still thrashing this out with HDB and town council regarding this. Will be a long pocess.

Hi New New, How are u? I bought home insurance. But there was no violent break-in. I tried to claim but to no avail. Hai.

I don't have grilles previously. Cos my unit is not a corridor unit so we feel it is pretty safe not to install until we have kids. But the burglar walked on the tiny ledge outside of the flat and climbed into the kitchen.

I do read renotalk occasionally. Just not posting that much anymore. Thanks for the compliment. The house decor can always be better. Yup yup. . I need a Maria or Sophia - maid. Lol.

Black or white.... also need to CLEAN UP! Ha. LOL.

Hi Modern, Thanks. Home is always warm and cosy. . Still furnishing the place bit by bit although we have done it quite a bit as of now. To be frank, my home was broken into when we shifted in duringthe 1st wk. It was in the news and newspaper. Lost a bit of wealth unfortunately. Burglar was caught but unable to retrieve the loss. So spend some money meant for furnishing on grilles and alarms to fend off intruders. So saving up abit first before purchasing additional stuffs.

Hi El LoCo, I never gave a final reno to my reno experience with DHome. Overall, I would rate my reno experience with Loyd 4 out of 5 stars. Although there were (minor) hiccups/conflicts along the way, I would still recommend Loyd to renotalk mates taking into factors such as his design capabilities and his attitude toward his works. He is very responsible I must said. For example, if the workmanship is lousy, he would tell the carpenters to redo everything. We don't even have to tell him. The only drawback is his time management skills. I think this is largely due to the fact that his firm is a small one and he is handling every single details. But he has hired some staffs lately to handle the administrative duties and other stuffs. So hopefully he has improved on this aspect. He reply to phone calls, emails or smses very promptly. To be frank, works such as electical or tiling are done up very quick. Only the carpentry took longer than expected. But as I said, I would still strongly recommend him so long as you do not need your house to be ready in 3 weeks or a month.

Hihi, I like ur toilet tiles, exactly like the toliet at Heeren. Gd feel overall.

Hi Hush Girl, All the best. The reno has ended. Just move on and be positive. There are other more impt things in lives for us to bother abt.

Thanks mates. Really appreciate the information. Cos I intend to buy spare bulbs for all the lights in the house. I will check it out at Blk 966 - near my parents' home. Hee.

Nope. Where are the branches located?

Hmm, is your flat on the --- floor?

Yup yup.

Thanks Wolflet. Yup. Just wondering any place to recommend to buy at a cheaper price. Btw, are all tubes called T5? Or different length have a different name? Cos I am using a 30cm/1ft type and another is longer at abt 84cm. Thanks again.

Hi Pinkpetter, Getting married?

Hi Mates, Any place to recommend to get light replacement - eg. T5 tubes, halogen lights, light bulbs? Thank you.

Working on national day.

My house is still very messy, storage boxes lying everywhere. Still unpacking. Not much time to unpack except during the wkends.

Inax is a popular brand with many restaurants.

The shower head is abit too small. A normal rainshower is more shiok. Haha.

I think Merlin provide a wide range of customised frames which are pretty decent. If not, places like Wall Arts or even Resort World sell beautiful frames with mirror.

Yah, so long as the bed is here. Have a place to sleep and shower first. .

Oh okie. Hopefully the hairs done get trapped hor. Hee.

Rondy, u are rite la. There are many things that looks gd but not practical. Funcational and aesthetic purpose are 2 different things. But coffee table should have ba, at least a small one. Can put cup or something in case want to dine in front of the tv. Haha.
