  1. Die die must get back the money. You hubby is so fit. Ask him and a few colleagues to go to the stall and flex their muscles. And tell them to pay up!
  2. Headache. Will see how. Next wk reservist liao. Not much time.
  3. The drawings are looking gd. Personally, I do feel the toilets are abit plain. But I think the design theme is on the sleek end. So it draws a better relationship between each individual area. I also believe putting some small plants will do the trick, especially when you will have plants in the study room also. Do upload the revised 3d drawings.
  4. I think I will visit the stall during peak hrs and disrupt his business by making a big scene.
  5. I think New New is pretty la. My taste is not very high standard. Muahaha.
  6. These types of non-glossy colourful laminates are still available in the market though.
  7. Some of our laminates are from Lam Chuan. I don't know whether they are any gd but during my initial stage of choosing IDs, some of the more exp ID like Orangecube used laminates from them. They say their laminates are better. My ID said so too. But neither my carpentry are up yet nor I have used laminates from them before. So I also don't know how gd their laminates are. Anyway, they have this new series of wood laminates which even my wifey who don't like wood grains say it is nice. The laminate with texture lines look like tree barks/trunks. But confirm will trap dust. ps. I didn't know if I type Orangecube properly will change to ******
  8. I got free plastering too. Hee. But my house not much plastering compared to yours.
  9. After selling then have space to put new chairs. Hehe.
  10. U are the first one. Go go go, gal! Get back your money.
  11. I saw LAM CHUAN website. It seems like they are the one who provided laminates for Ion Orchard as a whole. Not sure though. U can check out LAM CHUAN website.
  12. kopi, how much is ur reno in total? I remember last time round u mentioned 60k.
  13. Maybe u are tiling all your walls including bedrooms and living room? Haha.
  14. Lol. I am still a small boy. Lol.
  15. Yah, true but my gut feeling wise, I think the 1st one seems more functional as a fan.
  16. ah ha! rondy, u are the boss of amore rite. hehe.
  17. Disney don't discriminate against adults le. If not, won't have adult sizes rite. Muahaha.
  18. On one sat when I was there, my tiler (one) manage to finish tiling one toilet in a day. I think to give 2 weeks is reasonable. 3 wks abit long unless u doing something special which we don't know. Are u?
  19. I have a lot of disney t-shirts liao. lol.
  20. I think 3 weeks inclusive of hacking is reasonable. But just tiling alone abit long. But that is the worst case scenario rite. So stay positive.
  21. Such black and white tiles layout not for everyone. I think I saw it in a new renovated apartment in one of the recent home and decor if i am not wrong. It is a character thingy also. Just like when we go for tile selections, most of us will choose the normal or standard designs. Some designs are too strong to be accepted by many. . Hacking will bring up the cost for sure but there are pros and cons to each way of doing. For overlay, it will shorten the height between ceiling and flooring. Old tiles tend to 'pop' out after some times. So, if the old tile 'pop' out in the future, the new tiles will be affected. But of cos, it is cheaper to overlay. And u don't have to worry for waterproofing issue since u didn't hack away the old tiles.
  22. The right one.
  23. Dsman! Hope you had a nice and wonderful honeymoon!
  24. There are solutions like staining or even embossing (don't know if I spell correctly). Either way, it is best to do for the whole parquet floor areas. Embossing the floor ( no more grout lines) is nice but very slippery when the floor is wet as told by ID. Staining the floor can allow the parquet flooring to look uniform in color (just like laminate flooring) but once u stain, you cannot varnish without removing the staining first. Headache. Initially wanted to lay the walkway with tiles but feel it doesn't look nice. Parquet flooring will be better for the walkway. All three of us (ID, wifey and me) have the same consensus on this.
  25. Morning kopi! I think the color disparity is the more obvious problem I feel. I will probably get ID to quote the price to redo it. Morning Charemme! No la, it is not the ID's fault. When we got the house from HDB, the parquet was lay in this way for that particular room. We didn't notice the issue back then. ID spotted it immediately when he did the first on-site check. By then, it is already too late. Cos it was stated clearly in the HDB agreement that any issue has to recitifed within one yr of taking over the flat. We were like 1 yr late. ID already told us before the reno that different batches of parquet will have color disparity. He cannot guarantee the degree of color disparity. Just abit unlucky that this particular area is pretty obvious. I wanted to redo the room from the beginning but 2 votes (ID and wifey) against my single vote. The reason is to cut some cost of cos. The idea is don't need to fix it unless cannot accept lor.
