Yup. Not common, Ikea have a lot. Other place seldom. Enjoy your shopping too ; )

DAY 42, 3rd Jul, Tue Granite guys come today. Installed the sink area + cooker area. Have not view the real thing. Will go look, but won't be able to shoot or upload pix as my PC is not accessible. According to them, they will up the rest of the table tomorrow. (XX XX, keeping all my fingers cross). Plumbing guys will be here tomorrow as well. To fix up the tap etc for the Kitchen sink. After which, I think all done. ; )

Double is between super single and queen. Yup. JL sales @ expo. Will have to take note of the thickness. The 1 I'm using now is "just nice" zhun shun fit, Heng ar. Will do more shopping ; p

Thanks, ; ) Will start taking properly when my granite is up. ; ) Yup. ; p Actually left with only granite top + plumbing for sink. Once these 2 done, I can call in gas tank supplier and they will hook up the tank to my hop. Like that means can cook Liao. Other things will be like - buy sofa lah, - put up my shoe rack lah, Move in more things lah Oh ya, last night alone, today wife + 2 elder kids. They will be very happy cause can go school themselves Liao.. Tomorrow my MIL place officially starts upgrading, so will be very chaotic. So bring 2 elder one since nearer to school, no 3 will be further if move now, so she stays with granny : )

Last time at my own house, I have 2 sets of bedsheets. But we didn't really stay there, cause my MIL helping us take care of my kids mar. So we (my wife & I) stay at my MIL place in bedok lar. (so since then, don't need to buy extra bedsheet lor) ; p But as the room is not big, + need to house KIDs as well, so we sleep in double bed lar (size double) ; p .. so again, don't need to buy bedsheets since already have plenty ; p Then as time pass, we got more kids, so no chance to move out... .. . till now, finally got our own place, but have invited my MIL to stay with us (but now, we have our own room, kids share 1 room), so now need to get bedsheets liao ; p Heard that this weekend JL expo sales. Will go there bio, cheap can buy :dribble:

DAY 41, 2nd Jul, Mon Granite guy put airplane again. 1st, didn't turn up for measurement. Now delay in coming for installation :furious: Think his Ah Kong own a air-strip, that's why he good at flying :jawdrop: Anyway, Andrew called to chase, he will try to install at least the sink area + cook area 1st. Table 1 more day. Lets see what happen... .. . Going to enjoy my rain shower :dribble:

Sunday... .. . Not suppose to be a work day, but still have lots of touch-up & cleaning to do. The uncle here to touch-up the whole house. I'm too tired to check. Anyway, today, I will move in to sleep !!! Kelvin also helping. Think uncle finish touch-up, but iron grill have yet to finish. Think got problem... .. . Anyway... I manage to move most of my cloths & basic things I need. I move in to sleep. I love the rain shower :sport-smiley-004:

DAY 40, 30th Jun, Sat Today, I wake up 7 early 8 early, had my breakie and head home to strip my wardrobe door (ikea sliding type, heavy with 6 pieces of tampered glass).... With the help of my new battery drill, it really speed things up. Managed to pack everything into my little car, send over to the new place. ; p Too me a while to finish installation, went for lunch. Lighting installation work going on. On & Off, they will check how I want to place my switch, & some other items. While installing the switch for my down light & LED, found that they have swap the wiring wrongly (above the false ceiling) !!!.... Don't know how they do it, but they manage to swap it over :dancingqueen: Painting uncle already busy touching up, painting, my iron grill. Seems like the grill are custom to have very tiny gap (think to prevent his cat from squeezing out & run away). Progress is extremely slow as the grill still have 'pattern', that makes painting work more tedious. At about 4pm (I think) I free liao, so I join in to help painting. Siong... Later, Kelvin also free liao, join in as well... 3 of us finally finish painting BLACK by 9+ PM !!! :bangwall: Siong......

LOL.... maybe ; p

That one don't have to worry, cause later they will touch up when finish. Final round of electrical work WORSE. especially when installing lights. Will have a lot of hand markings. But they will clean-up, touch up, so the final product will still be ok lar. :thumbs up:

For me, when its cold, I just switch the temperature to max and don't turn down on the water flow a little lor. But unless I fever, else never have to resort to reducing the water flow to make it hotter.

LOL.... Yup... The last time I buy, was when I bought the SeaHorse Mattress, ask for 1 set FOC, on the spot buy 1 more, so don't need to worry since the sales person who sells me the mattress, sure will know which bedsheet size fits mine :sport-smiley-004: After that I don't really need to chap... After that I squeeze with my MIL, so sleep a double, so also don't need to get any :sport-smiley-004:

Ok ok, thanks for all your advice. This will be my 1st time buying a proper bedsheets. ; p.

Oh, didn't know that... Wow, interesting. Just now 3 of us paint my iron gate. Think previous owner really afraid his cat can squeeze out and escape, the gate got motor than double number of vertical bar, took almost 3 of us 1/2 day to finish 1 coat. We finish painting by about 9.45pm.......zzzzzzzzzz

It's 2 x 8 ft. Hopefully granite can come on Monday, and plumbing done on tue, final tiling touch up. Than reall consider completed. Nop, switch inside. There will be shower curtain to separate shower and w/m. Thanks.

Hi hi... need your advice. For a standard Queen Size mattress, 10" thick. Is it consider normal thickness? When I buy mattress cover, do i need to watch out for anything special ?

Agree. Old old things indeed better. The 1st owner of the flat left over a old Diamond Brand ah gong clock that runs on AC supply. Same as the one at my mum's place, handed down from Ah Gong as well. These are solid clock, don't remember the timing chao at all. Will clean-up and use that ah gong clock. Its classic liao. ; p Think we have the same plumber ba. I wasn't around when Andrew instruct him to do things. (I specifically told Andrew how I want my Rain shower to be place and the height, also where to place the instant heater.) He keep arguing with Andrew cannot lar, not standard lar. where got put so high one. tap must be lower, must catch centre line :bangwall: Andrew simply tell him. OWNER instruct one... Eventually he bo bian, just follow :sport-smiley-004: My sis's place homogeneous tiles very old liao, think about 15 years liao. According to her, quality very good, she move her furniture around pulling & dragging & it seems ok. But Andrew told me. U'rs cannot hor !!! Now a days, if you do that, almost 100% will kanna scratch :bangwall: Bo bian.

DAY 39, 29th Jun, Fri Electrical work again today. Installation of Lights & power socket, but they come only afternoon ; ( So today do all the drilling work. Tomorrow will continue with the connection.

For me, the delivery will need to be concurrent since I'm on leave. As for Oven, need installation, so since deliver liao, might as well every thing in lor ; p Nop. I not into Tub. (my previous owner installed seat type tub ; p ) I would love to, but so far haven't really come across one that fits me comfortably. Also bath room / house too small to have a real shiokie shiokie tub. so ..... no lor. : )

Yes. All my items delivered. Also went light shop again, this time round found all the light I need. ; ) Tomorrow install light ; )

Think is the younger one ley. Doesn't look old to me. But end up still do properly for me. A little very minor thing I didn't pick lar. If really going to pick everything, he sure die, sure got to dismantle at least few piece and rebuild. Actually only after the cabinet up, my own ikea shelving up, then I notice many of my wall are not perpendicular to each other, end up my DIY shelving cannot touch both wall nicely. Will need to leave a little gap.

mmmm.... call Andrew :sport-smiley-004:
