    Fans, Light, Action! Nope. not KDK V60WK. Its KDK Sensa 5. haha. Spinning fast and good. Heard a lot of ppl saying 'dun buy from Malaysia, coz it's different, will wobble' -- rubbish! Its the same! i think its the skill of the electrician. haha. Nicholas's electrician is skilful and he told me HDB flat is chicken feet, as he deals mainly with factories with higher voltage one. As i'm moving in soon, Nicholas has to ask the electrician to do OT. that day, the electrician do until midnite, of coz, i didn't stay to watch midnite "movie". LED lights installed. nope, not from taobao, because i still don't know how to order from there. Bought from a shop from Expo fair. i think quite prominent one, always appear as a 'small stall' beside this curtain shop. this is the brightness of 24W LED. very nice and bright, left is daylight and right is cool white.

    Toilet I didn't do much to both my toilet, just installed shower screen and add accessories.(was planning to put the toilet into #Reno part 2 due to budget, haha) Psst! the white sink was given by Nicholas. Told him to help me look out for those "BTO projects, ppl too rich throw away good good one". There you go, it landed on one of my toilets! haha...i just need to pay installation fees - $40? another view. requested for the shower screen to be installed on the edge rather than centre of kerb, as it : 1) gives me more space to rub soap under my armpits...haha.. I'm a fat guy 2) i can use the kerb to put all those shampoo/soap,etc.

    kitchen countertop up! i chose black granite to add contrast to the kitchen cabinet. if look closely, can see bling bling. chose from Hafary tiles. i think somewhere in Paya Lebar or Ubi area (forget...Nicholas brought me there to chose) whole view Island top is also up. LOVE IT!! Actually chose black granite like the kitchen countertop, but could not sleep one night, kept thinking that the island needs to stand out MORE! Don't care lah, Whatsapp Nicholas in the middle of the night, told him i want to change to 'Blue Pearl granite' which i have saw earlier at Hafary, just that its a little more expensive. Again, Nicholas promised to úpgrade this without charging more. haha. That night, I had a wonderful sleep. close look at the island blue pearl top. the photo doesn't do justice to the real thing. coz not sure its the angle or skills....but can't seem to capture the REAL thing! Its actually more greyish, with silvery and blue sparkles as you move along your eyes. (I actually saw SMRT uses this blue pearl granite at one of the MRT station on their station granite benches. - was it City Hall?)

    Fixing up my storeroom rack. ---> Myself! to save some money, i transferred my old sturdy storeroom rack to my new storeroom. luckily, the measurement is exactly! taking the rack apart is easy..with the proper tools. but fixing up is ****! i took almost 3hrs! but very satisfactory. (note: this is not the modern bolt-less kind. this is the bolt and nut type.) almost done! tada!

    Finally got the CHANCE to post! 2 weeks after I moved into my new house! The BIG MOVe has finally been completed. OpenNet up, Fibre up, iMac up! #Tips 101: - You have to call yr telco (M1) to let them know that you are shifting to new address before the actual move if you are intending to transferring yr existing account. -if not, you will be stuck with a few days without yr internet like me! It will take a few days to weeks (depending on the telco or service) I will continue to post remaining photos with captions. Feel feel to browse around.

    aspialle, Reno on scheduled. As this is not a new BTO, Reno timing is about like that. Actually I taking my own time to paint, no rushing for me. Haha. Actually Corona Maple is quite popular as I have seen a few Renotalk users used them. Love the raw and Matt look of this laminate. My kitchen cabinet is more on the safer side as it has to go with the rest of colours in that area.

    haha...my secret compartment! woohoo! informed my ID that i wanted a socket to 'grow' out of my wardrobe. so that i can put our iPhones and charge on top of the L cabinet. so this is what he came out with. practical and did not waste any of my space. the bottom is also extended fully in to make full use of whatever space there is.

    Meanwhile, i was busying painting my house. and i did a wall of Nippon Momento. Colour chosen : Reflections i think i did more than 1000 strokes...hand swollen after that. hahaha. no shortcuts, brush by brush. i purchased my Nippon Momento in Malaysia during their promo recently. so you all can expect how cheap i got mine..keke. no TV feature wall done. so i decided to moment it for some effects. -TV wall feature (expensive, i scare very hard to change wires if TV spoilt.) -Wallpaper (expensive, i scare peel after a few years) -Nippon Momento (cheap! although not the nicest of all) an even closer look at the details and effects.

    the part where my ID, Nicholas promised for upgrade. haha. he will ask carpenter to 'wrapped' up the whole sink support nicely and swee sweely. no joke. even underneath also wrapped. not sure if you all can see or understand from this photo or not. anyway, i quickly come home and compared with my current house and realised my current one was exposed. so i will rate Renoguyz's carpentry --> 5 stars.
  15. seowleng
    over the next few days, the carpentry took place. Transformation is accelerated here. the master 'blueprint' of the carpenter. messy and dusty but all worth it. eagle eyes... ya lor.. stupid HDB. make such ugly and weird pipes --> a lot of my cabinet spaces wasted! but i really have to the carpenter who did my kitchen cabinet. he really save and gives me as much remaining space as he can. really cannot ask for anything else. has a chit chat with carpenter and realised he has more than 20yrs experience under his belt. I'm safe in his hands.

    HELP needed! off topic, side track a little, although still related to Reno. its about Taobao. i know it has been discuss many times, but I'm still confused. I'm F9 in chinese. I'm serious, i score F9 for my O levels. can talk, cannot read.u know what i mean.... basically i wanted to buy this items. 1) http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0d.6639537.1997196601.4.a4NYvB&id=39901259324 White 120cm x 80cm table. 2) http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0d.6639537.1997196601.64.a4NYvB&id=37888987075 4 x white chairs 3) http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0d.6639537.1997196601.53.a4NYvB&id=37390530030 4 x high chair 4) http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0d.6639537.1997196601.35.a4NYvB&id=23785224195 1 x A style stool, 1 x C style stool here comes my questions: 1) Should i use Taobao forwarders (e.g. 4PK) or Peeka? 2) correct me if I'm wrong, 4PK ship using /kg (doesn't matter how big item is). Peeka ship using volume cubic cm(doesn't matter how heavy item is) 3) can i conclude that if i have big tickets items to ship (e.g. tables, chairs), use Peeka. and small items (e.g. hangers, bags, clothes) use 4PK? Or can anyone who have shipped exactly the same item (more importantly is Item 1, 2 and 3)? can tell me roughly what is the shipping cost and how you go about doing it?

    Singapura, Oh Singapura, Sunny Island, set in my house.... yeah! my Island is here! (incomplete, but so happy to see it arrive!) i was so inspired to have an island after i visit IKEA. (they have a big island, 1.8m x 1.2m in the kitchen section) i visited it a number of times. even dragging down Nicholas to IKEA with me over a few chicken wings to discuss about 'replicating' or getting the concept of island i wanted. in the end, i settled for a 1.5m x 1m island as I'm afraid it limit the walkway to the kitchen. basically, reasons for wanting to build an island: 1) a gathering point for family meetings/dicussions 2) baking/cooking 3) a place for parties stuffs, informal gatherings 4) lao yu shen, birthday cake 5) I'm creating a white glass wall for my daughter (mini-classroom) --> i don't really know how to explain this point. or just wait till completion and it will be clear cut answer. not sure why my walls are yellowish. maybe due to off balance of iPhone camera. it should be just white. yes, WHITE.

    Its like every kids dream to see delivery lorry/van! coz that means your items are here!!! so happy to see them unload. i even wanted to offer my help to unload the items. workers say no need, scare i anyhow move, spoilt everything. haha. yes...Eagle eye again, Corona Maple. i think those who uses will know what this code is. i have NO CHOICE but to use this, coz its too **** nice! actually wanted to be same as one of the forumers here to use in kitchen cabinet, but was rejected by ID. so change to wardrobe. so much that lorry have to fetch 2 times. haha. 2 bedrooms filled with gigantic lego blocks!

    another view of BLANCO SINK AGAIN! so NICE!! ok. i promise not to post anymore of this sink until completion. else scully Renotalk moderators kick me out for wasting bandwidth. hahahahaha.
  20. seowleng
    At the same time, my sink support is also up! LOVING my BLANCO sink SOOO Much!! i think i will wash hands everyday HERE instead of the toilet basin!!!! you will note that the tiler did not tile up the side of the sink support. At first, i was quite shocked and ask Nicholas..."Nick, like that ah?" Nicholas told me he actually help me UPGRADE! he will help me wrapped the whole thing with carpentry and laminate. He says he will ABSORB the COST of this which was not in the quotation! Woohoo! like strike 4D like that. Nicholas told me that he usually will do it for customers when he feels its nicer, else he cannot sleep over ugly projects. (he will have nightmare and migraine, hahaha!)

    after some minor cleaning. my tiles looking good. my playful daughter posing! haha. electrical wires running here and there... another view. look at the evenness. (is there such a word?!?) if you all have eagle eyes, will note that my door have 2 colours...argh!! i hate the original yellowish colour. so i tried painting white Nippon paint ($11) on a small part of the door to see the effect. of coz, wife agreed that the pure white is nicer! but no time for now...will continue. luckily test paint on the inside, not outside, else i have to complete in 1 shot, else very ugly! hahaha.

    im so busy that i have to delay all my postings. Apologises for all these late photos. (just don't take the dates into considerations.) Next up: Citygas. (headache, why i said that?) i think they are quite famous for putting Aeroplane. Nicholas told me they put him aeroplane at least 2 times liao. thats why my kitchen carpentry was delayed also. anyway, its up. u all can see the bright copper pipes are the newly installed MRT tracks. this is perhaps the most common/popular model gas heaters liao. i ask the staff at Citygas and they told me this one. i bought it on the LAST DAY of their recent promotion. so cost is $300/nett + free installation of piping.

    Oh yes...im here to upload the Evorich HERF Vinyl (Eggshell) flooring photos. very happy over the vinyl flooring. this is how the packaging looks like. at first i thought why Evroich give me this 'Allure' brand? then after asking around, i realised that this is the real stuffs. haha. this real stuffs is VERY HEAVY MAN! there are only 8pcs per box but it takes a lot of strength to carry just a single box! workers installing the vinyl. this is Eggshell colour. for those who wanna reference. another angle. please note that all these are taken using my iPhone 5s camera. no lights. all are natural lights from windows.
