Hi, I think u need a PE cos u are hacking away the wall at the room beside the staircase. Just railings along don't need PE.

Does it go away when you scrub? Could be soap scum. Try to rinse the shower area clean each time after you bathe..

Don't you have an ID or main con? How come you need to source doors and carpenter yourself? Isnt this their job? Just curious. Does it save more $?

Hi I had a mould problem as well and I engaged professionals to scan the place for water seepage as well as treat the mould. You may want to consider this if your problem is serious.

Thanks! Do u think u could let me know which tile shop to find this? I'm being told that there are no pure white homogenous tiles, which I find unbelievable. Thank you!

Hi, are your white wall tiles in the bathroom homogenous or ceramic? Are they matte in finishing? Thanks!

Good point made by ayazumi regarding white oak! Now I don't feel so sad that I can't have that raw unpolished white wood look cos it will only turn dirty v soon anyway. Heh.

.. to your considerations!

Hi denimart, just to share that i was also bent on white oak initially. But was advised by contractor that although it is widely used in western homes, it is not suitable for our humid and moist climate as it is very soft and prone to problems like termite infestation or rotting. I did some research on my own, and true enough, I decided on practicality over aesthetics and took the strong Burmese teak in the end. Hope to add value to your cons

Hi, I recommend Heritage Bathroom at Geylang after trawling Jalan Besar and Balestier for comparison. Very reasonable prices and good service, v patient with my fickle mindedness plus bother to answer my countless questions. Check out the place!

Nice job with the bathrooms! I see you have a black rack shelf in your grey bathroom. Is that laminate or solid top? It looks like solid top, didn't know it's possible to use solid top as a shelf like that. What a good idea!

Oh my, how did that handle come off totally like that?

Hi ynwa88, Would you be so kind as to send me your quotation for reference? I'm really desperate for some comparison for my renovation which is running up to a huge bill, and I don't know which items I can bargain on. Help help! Would be so grateful if you could help. Thanks much!

Hi all, do you think my quotation of 8-9k for hacking and demolition works for an EM is within normal range? It's a complete overhaul which involves hacking of all flooring, built-in cabinets, wall tiles, toilets and staircase - basically everything. Any views appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, sorry to hijack, Kobelala, do you think my quotation of 8-9k for hacking and demolition works for an EM is within normal range? Cos it seems like a shocking amount to me. It's a complete overhaul which involves hacking of all flooring, built-in cabinets, wall tiles and staircase. Any views appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for your prompt reply! To clarify, you just need to engage them and pay them right? And they are responsible to manage the contractors and deliver the end result. Did you have to pay / manage the contractors yourself at all? Thanks a lot!

Hi Adidaem, Would you recommend your ID Atelier M+A? Is workmanship (very impt) and service attitude good? Thanks a lot!
