At around 6plus, my friend happened to pass by and I was told that the windows at our new house were not closed so i tot the plumber assistant forgot to shut our windows which we told him to do so. At around 7plus, HB went over to check, to his shock a few errors were detected which we had just discussed this morning only!! He told the assistant there and he panicked. -requested shut out valve for every outlet were not in place. -common toilet bidet spray was fixed at the wrong side. -used black cement on instead of white to do patching on our "white tiles". HB was like huh, this was what we discussed?? Call ID immediately and he said he will rectify tomorrow. *fainted*

I have no idea it does make a different. Thank you for the advise

=updates= 19th Jul 2010 We had received our sanitary wares last sat from GR link. The delivery guy was good. He will text me time of arrival (abit late due to rain which causes minor traffic jam) and even note down every little problems on the DO after verification most of the items. He said to be fair to us, he will even note down those things which are not check (vanity cabinet-too bulky and not easy to put it back). We had received our delivery from 'A lighting' today. Supposed to deliver at 9.30 but somehow the delivery guy came at 11am. Luckily the plumber was there early althought our ID mentioned 10.30, otherwise we got to 'gong gong' wait there. We had our 1st stage of discussion with the plumber and electrician, together with our ID. Spend almost the whole morning, took quite a while with the electrician. We were advised to do re-wiring as some of the wires look old and cannot make it already. Shall see what's the price difference 1st before making any decision. ID was saying there were quite a number of point 'shifting' and so the price may be steep and suggested to do re-wiring... headache leh, budget already so tight. Cost may easily go up to $2K leh Most likely we will fabricate a full height cabinet beside the washer which i intend to place my oven there. I have not purchase my oven bcos i told ID it's defeating the purpose to buy an "oversized" oven if the full height cabinet has size limitation, so he should advise on the right size and from there i can proceed to do my oven sourcing. So, eventually he said then have to wait till carpenter comes in lor. By then, i tot it will be too late

Hey gal, Looking good.... i like the contrast of the door frame and door too.

I sounded him last week and he said usually an oven will be less than 600mm (width) so should be able to fit in.. Cross my finger! But I guess i need to eye for one first before carpenter do on site measurement, right? LOL...I've orders from colleagues & friends this year which I don't intend to but a few insisted. Moreover, it's doing something I like so I accepted it. Last min rush to buy ingredients, containers, etc... Thanks to my supportive Hubby who is helping me!

Hey fifteenmay, So envy... i got to wait for 2 more mths than can shift. BTW, the curtain is very nice.

No, i didn't watch. Need to subscribe scv? I'm not a good cook, it's been long since i cook but i love baking... Made these 'ong lai' balls for CNY and some other cookies. Here's my 'ong lai' balls, melt in your mouth not in your hand.... huat ah!!! Before After Too bad... i don't think i can accomodate an oven. It has always been in my wishlist to get one for my own home.

$10 for such a nice carpet?? Super 'wu huat' leh! Thanks for sharing this super duper good poison, gal!

Samgalz.. Thanks for leading me here to get the carpets sales address, wow... there are some many info and "kangtou" in this thread. Really useful! Agreed with Merydith... Indeed "good" poison!

Ahh... Where's AFC thread? Kekeke....

Nice kitchen leh... The laminates tone is just right, not too dark. Btw, where's the place selling carpet? Could you provide the address? TQ. Tot of getting the floor protector from IKEA but just too exp leh.. Hoping there's offer, on a 2nd tot, might as well get a carpet for the roller chair.

=updates= 10th Jul 2010 Purchased our lighting and Alpha V6 ceiling fans (2 nos) from A lighting. Price tagged were entitled further discount. So far, majority of the items were purchased... need to stop my bleeding pocket liao Dining light Entrance and Balcony lights Wall light b/w MBR & Gals' room Bedrooms' lights

I'm using plastic bottle trap for both MBR and common toilet....since it's not expose

True.. Seems like my ID is not very proactive type leh. Everything wait till meet the sub-con then discuss on the spot lor. That's pict is from Lilithfiend's blog right??

Seriously that didn't cross my mind.. I tot it's standard one and stainless stain is more for commercial?

Is this the usual stuff you'll propose to your client? My ID did not plan all these leh.... Just say to meet up and discuss with plumber, electrician and air con man

Ger, we checked our place yesterday and realized windows **** and kitchen were up (no grilles yet). The living hall ones were badly scratched, took some picts of it.. Will try to post it tonight.

Wow.... Looking good to move in anytime, samgalz... Thanks for taking pict of the internal wardrobe. The gate is bery sui!!

Congratz !!

Should have hor Anyway, by then it should be coming to an end of my reno.... well, i hope so! *cross finger*

=updates= 3rd Jul 2010 MBR bathroom-grouting for wall completed, dont think the floor tiles is done yet. Looks like the WC will be very near to the sliding door Common bathroom wall tiles, floor tiles incomplete yet. Kitchen wall tiles Close up on kitchen wall tiles

Hi gal, been busy these days so didnt go up to see. Understand it was still at tiling work, shall post some picts later. We had choosen the paint/window grilles and wrough iron designs yesterday. Informed ID that air con trunking will be up on 15th Jul (Thurs) but was wondering if 1st coat of paint will be up by then or not, must check with ID again on this otherwise the joint line b/w aircon & wall is visible. Checked with hb if possible to postpone the date to fix air con trunking, he said it could be after 25th which is kinda late.... but I do not want to rush to fix aircon without 1st coat... too sloppy and can imagine how ugly it will be lor. Haiz... ID mentioned that he need to go reservist on the 2nd week of Aug for 3 weeks so if we postpone air con it might affect the whole progress. Tentatively, the HD will be somewhere in 1st week of Aug.... siao liao!!
