Sanitary delivery resolved by my contractor.. Tiling done... Place still quite messy and dusty so not yet post the picture online.. Ya quite saved some money from shopping from jb.. Need to take note if buy from jb need to be prepared to take some risk...Nothing comes free... Furniture and lighting saved a lot of money... Lighting try not to buy something that is hard to install or complicated from jb... If things spoilt or not correct need to go back jb and change back with them... Learned a few things along the way.. You will need to have a ceiling cap or a fan hook if you want to install a fan in your house. Some fans doesn't come with the fan hook.. Like my elmark fanaway fan. You will need to buy a separate fan hook that has a 3cm diameter.. Normal hardware shop do not have this kind of fan hook (they sell a standard size that has a diameter of 5cm i think) need to go to shop that sell fan or go back to elmark show room in singapore to buy the fan hook.. If you use the wrong fan hook you will not be able to close the fan cap and will see a gap of 1.5 inch between the fan cap and the ceiling. Lucky for me my contractor was very nice and asked the electrician to go and buy for me. At the moment my master room fan still pending contractor to help me buy the fan hook.. They elmark girl called it the omega hook. Will try and do false ceiling next time with down light for my place if given the chance.. Had a lot of headache choosing the correct lighting for my place... Hope it looks good once it is finish...

can pm me also the contact thanks.

I will post some more picture a few weeks later. Currently my place still quite messy.. A lot of dust... Reno will be finishing around 19th Jan...

My contractor help me to call them and managed to get them to send earlier.

Contractor inform will get the carpenter to change.. Hopes everything goes well from here..

thanks for your advice. the holes are external.. Will check with my contractor tmr to see whether she allow to change the cabinet door.. The more i see it the more ugly it look like

My toiletry stuffs were supposed to be delivered today but the bacera ppl did not note down my change of appt to today and can only be deliver the stuff on Monday afternoon.. My plumber who is also very busy already set appt to come Monday morning.. Their staff also not so friendly always very busy..Very hard to get a hold of them... A bit regret now to buy from them....

So they normally won't change the whole piece only patch with this sticker is it?

Yesterday went to see the carpenter doing the final work on my kitchen cabinet. Notice 3 holes on the kitchen cabinet door laminate. Complained to the contractor and he used liquid paper to patch up the hole. Is this acceptable? Is it a common practice by carpenter to use liquid paper to patch up holes on the white laminates on the kitchen cabinet? I have complained to my contractor and she says next monday when she comes back from holiday will check and update me on the next course of action. If I were to wipe the kitchen cabinet surface next time all this liquid paper will sure come off and the small holes will likely to grow bigger and bigger.......

How much did the electrician charge to lay the cat 5e cables to all your rooms? Did you use cat 6 cables?

If really want to save cost can always use wireless router to provide internet to the rest of the room. The downside will be you will not be able to share any nas storage unless your nas is a wireless device as well. If you can't receive the signal can always add another router as a repeater to amplify the signal. Cat 5e is more than enough unless you want to transfer more than 1GB of data per second.

6:30pm Meeting with electrician. Finally got to meet up with my electrician. He's my friend long time contractor. Gives me a rather good rate for my double plugs. Gave him the floor plan go through with him my requirements. He makes some markings on the wall. Explained to me opennet and starhub....but I blur blur only understand a little. What did the electrician said? What are the things that need to take note when preparing for the opennet points in the future?

I got my curtain from joo chiat complex jimmy textile.. Did not go around to compare much as was very tired shopping on christmas eve. So decided to buy from them since the girl serving us was very patient with us. Total cost around 600 for 3 windows size of 4ft x 4ft.

Which shop is it at boon lay shopping center? U have the name of the shop?

Is parquet or laminate flooring easy to maintain? Scratches or water damage?

Maybe you should try calling everjoint shop at amk to check out the price. So far I find their price reasonable..
