Pardon me, your wardrobe seems like not enough clothes hanging rod, too many shelves and drawers.

I also agreed with ayazumi... the dark floor tile should be use in toilet instead. Wood flooring dont go well with dark floor tile.

Actually our new place, my friend designs our only toilet-cum-bathroom to be open concept too with lots of translucent glass but i hate glass so shelve the idea. In the end he only do the bath area to condo style with conceal piping. Our reno started on the 12 March and we shifted in on 16 April, almost 3 weeks now, the place is still messy as my wifey want to wash all the clothes before putting them into wardrobe. We have not even order our dining table yet. The new cover for our 2 seater sofa is somewhere...

Kirk... I previously worked for teak wood furnishing company which has 120 branches in many countries for many years and had my fair share of experience with teak wood, both Indonesia and Burmese. It is very difficult to find old teak tree with very nice wood grain and the drying process usually not done properly to save time and cut cost, the moisture in the wood will be suck out by our dry air conditioner and the plank will warp to some degree. I'm sure you ever come across teak wood flooring that felt a little bit uneven at the edges, upon close inspection sometime you will find fine crack in-between 2 pieces of plank or strip, that is caused by moisture in wood get suck out by dry air. The same goes to solid teak wood dining table top, we use to get service call that customer' solid teak wood table become a rocking chair, it was transport back to factory and leave it in the humid warehouse for a few days to warp back to flat surface and return back to customer. Solid wood flooring is nice and warm but maintenance can be pain in the "A dark place", very few years die die have to re-vanish. Silat, lacquer, oil finish, or the special finish like Scanteak furniture... etc. The Burmese teak looks young... go see Novena Church flooring, those are made with teak tress above 100 years old.

I told my friend to tell the plaster workers not to throw cigarette butt in my toilet, if stain my tiles i expect them to scrub my tiles clean with their tongue or else i will not pay a single cent for their plaster work.

Service and Conservancy Charge (SC/CC), monthly fee payable to Marine Parade Town Council. Usual is $50 per month for 4 rooms HDB flat, some months got special rate at 50% off. Go open the letter box, you got quite a lot of mails! The hardware parts are a mixture of blum and hettich. They are not expensive, just that not all carpenters are certified to install them, that is why ID command a higher price tag if customer request for it. I want to show you the workmanship so you can request the same from your carpenter.

aaahhhh... maybe you can use the round rope use for climbing, they have many sizes, thickness and colors too. Try drop by Campers Corner.

LOL... when i saw the photo of keys, there is a special feeling rushing to me. Cant wait to see your renovation progress. If you wish to see my carpentry workmanship and materials use so that you have a better understand of what to expect from your carpenter, you can come over during the weekend. Oops... forgot to tell you you have SC/CC reminders from Town Council, maybe you can drop by Marine Parade Town Council to open your SC/CC account.

To counter the slight yellowish with age, have it done in other colors instead of white (light grey, wood finish... etc).

Maybe you can try Art Friends... use real fish hook must be extra careful, one wrong move can get hurt easily. Perhaps can use mini carabena to replace fish hook.

White PVC is very thin layer, very easy scratch, cheap and lousy quality. Polyester laminates is thicker, comes in smooth or wood grain texture. I can show you polyester laminates but i cant show you what is white PVC as I dont have any at my place.

Hi denimart and pokey88, Our valuation was among the highest in that neighborhood, therefore we told Ron so long the selling price hit the amount we want, we will let it go. We have settled in our new place, if both of you wish to visit us to see our renovation, just SMS me.

I cant tell you now because I have not receive the final bill for my renovation. All my cabinet internals are using polyester laminates, not PVC; light grey for kitchen cabinet, ash wood grain for wardrobe and other cabinets.

I'm also using the same model as you... the spinning sound is not as loud as my old Ariston that decide to broke down for good after shifting house. Got it at $480 from BKC.

All my cabinets (kitchen cabinets, wardrobe, storage, shoe cabinet) are in high gloss white color laminates... my carpenter do all edges in ABS trimming until you dont see any dark lines.

Maybe you can check how many rinse you selected? I'm using a front loading washer from Samsung, the default is 2 rinse but can select up to 5 rinse.

I maybe wrong but i think the F2 system is unable to use R8 filter.
