My fire-rated solid wood with veneer main door (double leaf door) is $1,300, side door (single leaf like yours) is $900. As I didn't take the lever lock, they give a discount of $50. I would suggest you take those items out & anytime you want them back, you can consider as Variation Orders.

ID sent message informing that the tiler boss is sending his top man to touch up the uneven groutings which I spotted just recently. This tiler guy is really good; besides rectifying those problematic area, he practically combed the whole house & redo all the white gaps which some lines had already partially turned black!!

My exact sentiment & that's why I dropped the contractor with lowest quotation like hot potatoes!!

ne0 I got the inspiration for white kitchen from this forum & so when my ID said "white kitchen", I say "Yes"! Agreed with you that solid white top stains easily, but it also cleans easily too. I usually place a wet white cloth with some detergent over the stain & it is gone within mins.

Hi, Sunny I personally & sincerely wish you a smooth reno journey! Your house is really big & kudos to your space planning skill! Looks like another challenger to my Extreme Makeover!!

Hi, YunYun Thank you for visiting my blog here. I will PM you the contact details of my hardworking ID. Wishing you good luck in your ID selection & a smooth reno journey in advance.

Thanks, marsh. See you this Sunday.

I agreed with what you have said. Unlike electronic devices where original packaging comes with unbroken seal to guarantee that it is BNIB.

Congrats....your reno will start next month & here wishing you a smooth journey! I have contacted Marsh & inform her that I'm joining you all this Sunday, if it is confirmed.

Am now attending a colleague wedding dinner at Marina Mandarin. It is really a very long marathon for this couple; 9 years before they married today! Hmmm....I wonder when my eldest son will get married....?

May Congrats, your dream comes true and you are now the house owner! Wishing you a smooth reno journey & hope your house will turn out as beautiful as mine!

I am trying to upload the close-up view showing where the needle is pointing at. As to whether it works or not, I am not sure but I know the Qi will be influenced by the big Luo Pan....just like when you hold any compass / luo pan, the needle will move and point to the magnetic pole. If it doesn't work, I take it as a beautiful piece of Expensive Art! That's why the Luo Pan must be BIG enough to 'influence' the Qi meandering in the house. BIG = Expensive $$$ Its function is to 'Hua' the 'poison' & 'negative' energy from the beams & columns inside our home. See enclosed floor plan...this point block have excessive overhead beams & columns. I am glad that you also like it.

More pictures of the Big Luo Pan: Close-up of the Luo Pan I understand there are many 'buyers' of this big Luo Pan from the FSM....

Hi hafiizh Welcome back to my blog! Saw that your reno in progressing well..... For that "loaned" & expensive mattress, I hope they can 'le long' & sell cheap to get rid of it. I have heard from feedback that items seized by some furniture stores, they will repack and sell the items as NEW to customers. But then again, how can customers tell they are receiving the goods in their original packaging, and not repacking??

Hi, edenstrauss I will upload some pictures to explain later.....hopefully by today

LoL...the cheque was issued with incomplete name & they kept it till yesterday. I issued out the cheque to X'Clusive Home, wrong, it should be with 'Pte Ltd'.

I do not believe in the Arts of Placement, but somehow I was exceptionally 'drawn' to this Luo Pan after hearing what the FSM claimed it's efficacy. I have taken a few close-up photographs & will explain in details later.

Actually I have not seen this real big Luo Pan when the FSM recommended it to me. I have seen only the pictures in the album. The background colour was chosen by FSM. When I see it today, I am glad that it turns out nice & looks really like a piece of art.

Hi, madmilo Thank you for visiting & reading my reno blog. I know I am one of only few forumers who wrote extensive coverage on daily progress / activities from Day 1 of my reno journey. I have PM you the contact detail of Donny...and I hope he can be of great help to provide his design solution & manage your renovation with all his heart like what he had just delivered for my beautiful home! Here, wishing you a smooth reno journey.

Status Update: Finally received and installed the BIG Luo Pan yesterday. Here are the progress photographs: The installer (should be the brother of the FSM) seen here taking measurements and making the adjustments... ...and the Luo Pan is finally hung on the wall at Dining Area

Status Update: X'Clusive Home delivered the LaContessa Mattress, super single size, yesterday!! The delivery man was adjusting the height of bedframe as this mattress is really very 'pluffy' and thick!!

I have already cooooooled down....really no point getting upset over such a noosey chap!

Aiyah....that chap is a new trouble maker in Geomancy/Feng Shui section whose character is really "CANNOT MAKE IT" like his nick! There is a common Chinese phrase "Xiao Li Cang Dao" (Smiley with hidden Knife)! You know the meaning? He likes to make personal attack instead of commenting on the topic! When we attacked him, he will say we are rude but never shut up his mouth!

Have just completed the installation of the big Luo Pan. I took a few photos and will be uploading here soon...

There's something terribly wrong with that trouble maker. People like him are prone to depression because they are very unhappy. People who are happy & who have attained inner peace, will never ever utter such unkind words to hurt others. With our work experiences, we have seen people from all walks of life and we do often come across eccentric ones like this chap. When such people crossed our paths, we just have to take it with a pinch of salt.
