    PAINTING

    Step 1: Oil based sealer

    Step 2: Sand down affected areas

    Step 3: Base coat tomorrow

    Step 4: ??? (I will only find out tomorrow.)

    Step 5: ???

    I never knew oil based sealer is required. All along I though we can paint directly on a plastered wall.

    Is such a huge difference now.

    Edges of tiling areas sealed. Must protect all my chrome, stainless steel, copper...

    I like to share with all the Reno talkers the stuffs Ihave collected over the years.

    Muji Cuckoo Clock

    For those who love scandinavian decor. I brought the white one during 2012 X'mas. When Muji came out with the green one last year. I brought the green one too.

    Hi Marcel, may you share where is this "reno heaven" in BKK? I remembered I went to a similar Home Depot style mega store in BKK (near one of the MRT stations) but I cannot remember the name already. Thanks! :)

    I am referring to Boonthavorn Co., Ltd.

    They have a web site so you can go and check it out.

    By the way they also sell GROHE (assembled in Thailand).

    If you are going for a light, uniform look, go for the white lilac. The main difference between the two colors is that white lilac is of a warmer shade (yellowish), while special touch is a cool shade (bluish). IMO, juxtaposing special touch and the warm flooring will look "off".

    White lilac is too near the color of your flooring and thus don have the contrast as much as the Special Touch.

    I will go for the Special touch in this case (*Note I am not really good in color combination)

    *Juz my 2 cents worth ...

    Thanks Songz and razzberrie. By this weekend, you will know which color I select.

    I was in BKK shopping! (Actually I was there for 2 day business trip. Skipped lunch and rushed to the biggest DIY Shop BKK)

    This place is reno heaven. You can find everything under one roof. CHEAPER THAN SINGAPORE.

    My 304 stainless steel purchase.

    1x VRH Faucet for my washer

    2x VRH Robe hook

    2x VRH Basin water trap

    4x VRH Toilet spray (2x as spares)

    Total: SGD150

    This is a picture how we reduce the number of visible piping in the bathrooms.

    Run all pipes in the common bath room.

    Punch 2 pipes (1 Hot & 1 Cold) through the common wall into the master bath room.

    Conceal all the pipes behind a calcium silicate wall. (Instead of 2x conceal for both common and master.)

    A similar idea to soloqueen’s http://www.renotalk.com/forum/topic/63885-transformation-in-telok-blangah-drive/page-2
