    notice the placement of stuff in ur kitchen, seems like u do cook.. and with a slim hood, i would say not advisable to put a roller blind in the kitchen cos of the oil and grease..

    imagine the grease on the blinds and then u roll it in... =.="

    unless u want to do a thorough cleaning of the blinds each time u roll up...

    hi fairydust,

    nope.. the tiles need not be removed to fix the mixer u are getting.. cos they will use back the hot/cold water pipings laid by HDB and just changing the mixer and ur shower head...

    yea.. there will be height restrictions if there is pipings in ur bathroom..

    just measure from ur mixer up to the piping, that will be ur height limit so that when u buy ur shower set, u can tell the person.. otherwise, ur ID should also know how to measure and let u know..

    on a side note, there are 2 kinds of shower set regarding height restrictions.. 1 is fixed and the other is adjustable... ours is adjustable one so we can adjust it accordingly to our height restrictions.. =)

    hi dizyweds, my hubby and i are also planning to get a rain shower set for our place. can i know whether does the contractor need to remove all the tiles before they install the rain shower?

    our contractor told us, due to the pipping box at the top this may restrict the height of the shower set. can i know what is the measurement of your shower set cause it seems to fit just nicely below the box! :)

    There hasn't been much going on @ our unit last week..

    One reason was cos we decided to change to marble last minute.. Else, flooring shld have been done by now..

    Checked with Johnson and he sees says there won't be a delay in schedule as carpentry works are ongoing and so far they have completed the kitchen cabinets, entertainment room console and study table, MBR cabinet.. And they are working on the living room carpentry now..

    Hacking of the living room will be tomorrow and thereafter, tiles will be laid.. Estimated completion beginning next week.. Painting works will then start and then carpentry will be up..

    Gas pipes and gas heater will be installed tmr..

    Think there will be lotsa changes in our unit from this week to next.. Can't wait, can't wait!! =D

    Marble Selection

    So we've made a big, big decision and decided to change to marble flooring for our living/dining area instead of homogenous tiles.. =D

    We went for a "dry lay" session today at the tiles warehouse @ Sungei Kadut..

    Spent one hour choosing 157 slabs, making sure we liked the grains and that the marble had no defects etc..

    @ the end of it, this is the rough overall look of how it will be..

    Hi Dizyweds,

    May I know have you got your rain shower? How is it? Any problem so far? Btw, which company you bought from Ebay? Thinking to get one of this type of rain shower.

    Cheers:) Emobebe

    Hihi,

    Yupz, we got our rain shower last week.. It took abt a week + from the day we ordered till it arrived..

    I'm not sure if it's a stroke of bad luck on our end but we received a mixer with a small little dent.. Tried contacting the seller but he din reply..

    So I suppose we won't recommend this seller to anyone..

    We can't be sure if it's the customs officer or the mixer was already defected when it was sent out.. =(

    Whee! The platform in our MBR is up!

    The husband had a good time napping on this over the weekend whiles waiting for our appointment... Hahah..

    Besides the platform, all tiling works for bases in the kitchen, bathrooms and service yard is done...

    Ceiling works in the entire house is done..

    This coming week, tiling works will start for the living room..

    We are still considering if we shld use marble (tho we already chose our homo tiles..)

    Will need to wait and see how much ID will quote and how deep a hole in the pocket it will burn before we decide...

    Bought a few items within the last week or so.. =)

    Philips LED FHD TV - 42PFL8605

    5542636855_9197e14b91.jpg

    Ok, so those who have been reading our T-blog will be asking.. Another TV?!?

    Yup, we were so impressed with the TV @ the IT Show (We think the host did his job really well) that we grabbed it during the hourly special..

    $400 more expensive than the LG TV we initially bought.. But we had a free entertainment system which we managed to sell to recoup some of that..

    The LG TV that we bought has also been sold.. =P

    50hz to 100hz with an addition of sub-woofers and clear picture and ambient lights.. We think it's a pretty good upgrade? (Or so we hope.. =p)

    Philips Blueray Player - 42PFL8605

    5542636915_62e9eb19fb.jpg

    For the entertainment room..

    Kitchen Clock

    5542636827_0708a3494b.jpg

    Love this clock to bits! For the kitchen.. The red fits the scheme of our kitchen too! The husband spotted it and the wife made the decision to buy.. Hehe..
