ELECTRICAL QUOTE & SCOPE OF WORK Now that all tiling has been done, cement screed as well, what is the next step? 1) Plastering started on Sat which i am glad.... suppose to start tomorrow. 2) City gas lay piping 3) plumbing? 4) Electrical For now, my most headche is looking for a reasonable electrican to rewire the whole house..... but i have to quickly find or else my reno will be delayed. The priving in most quotes i saw for electrical was similar except the one recommended by my contractor What i needed: 1 single gang 13A switch 16 double gang 13A switch 15A aircon point 15A electric cooker/hob 36 Lighting points and installation of lights SCV point installation of ceiling fans installation of remote control installation of 2 way lighting (for living room light) new DB board quoted nearly $4k by my contractor's electrician. Need it to be cheaper....

hi emobebe, here is the pic of the code for the tile i chosen.

thanks for your help... i will check out and see how it goes. my budget would be 3k now i use all curtains, no roller blinds so more extra materials to make into cushion covers.

hehehe... yup, i am putting 60" in my bedroom. went to audio house electronic fair, no 60" tv was shown there. i might go to the liang court this week.

Yes, my housewarming on 17 May which means i will be very busy that day. 21 May is what we agreed earlier?

I also want to have my weekdays night to meet friends or relax is weekends can do more things. But at the moment, work doesn't allowed. Very sian loh.... I just finished AGM at 7.10pm. This is so long... Haiz... I thought we said 21st? Now become 17th?? I love cheesecakes.... Miss the good mouthwatering cheesecake from marshy.

episode 5 is flimed at yr house? didn't see much though...

you still can change the fridge to a nicer looking if you want to.... hehehehe...

I think reno is always over what has been budgeted. i am over by a lot too... sob sob....

ya.... my weekends are as packed as weekdays. no time to do anything else....

SELECTING CURTAINS Curtains is one of the last thing i need to choose. Initially wanted to call Mr Chew that has been recommended by a lot of forummers here. But my friend told me that to make appointment with him need about 2 weeks, i decided not to call him anymore. Then another friend recommended MGL curtains along lavender street. So, today, i gave myself 2 hours to go and select all needed before i go to do my weekly volunteer work. When i reached at 12 noon, there were 2 lady inside the shop.... my guess was one is the lady boss and another is worker. Then i sat down to discuss all that i needed with the worker. I am not as patience to look through 500 samples, instead, i think i have only seen around 20-30 samples. Maybe because I only wanted certain type of curtains.... But i am glad that i choose all within the my estimated timing. Total costs including tracks, was about 20% more ex than in malaysia. but i still choose to buy here as its easier for me. No photos as small pieces of clothes won't be very obvious to show here. When its all done, then i will take photo. oh... before i forgot, the lady also going to sew some cushion covers for me using the same materials as my curtains. The reason being material i chosen are more for full length curtains but as i have ledge near the windows, curtains are not able to be full length. So those extra materials, she will help me make into cushion covers. I guess that is extra for me?

i also need to wake up early to go church by 9.30am

Ely, i think i am very meticulous with selecting everything.... hehehehe.... even my tiles also took me 3 trips, remember? maybe i do it the slowly way? photoshop might be done faster? hahaha... show us the pic of your wardrobe meh.... my electrical quote is abt $4k which i think its a bit too high.... i will go over tmr to have a look to see any progress since friday night or not.

21st May loh.... i am ok with that date. friends78, you ok?

is it? looks very big leh.... never mind, at least you have 2 simplehuman item. i have yet to buy 1. hehehe...

did i tell you abt my estimated quote? i only got it abt 5plus just now.... nearly 4k loh so its more than yours but then less lightings than yours leh... sob sob.....

if want to visit my place then to friends78, then would be 21st May. 17th is when i have house warming loh.... can do a vote??

eh... cannot leh.... my windows are along the corridor. so must have curtains loh.....

hehehehe... how much was the simplehuman step can?? hehehe... not $200??

oh.... never mind lah, delivery man sometimes don't know how to say sorry. not only deliver, not service minded.

I took 2 hours at the shop to choose all curtains.... but my pricing came up to quite a lot. haiz.... i think next time will do in melaka instead. it was cheaper by 200-300 loh...

i saw this before at one of the IT Show. really wanted to buy but didn't in the end as the cost was quite high. Good choice you made there!!!

Haha.... What so special abt today?
