  1. I agree, just wait for the package. You need a mixer to run the water n rain shower must use storage heater else water pressure not strong enough.
  2. Hi Nexer, Last time my shower very cheapo one can last 8 yrs, I think Grohe should last longer bah. Btw, did you can the mixer for your rain shower?
  3. I even asked my husband to bounce on it so that you will know if u will wake ur partner up or not. just like they throw bowling ball.

    Hi Salad, How's the workmanship for the overall Reno? Do they know how to design the pattern of lying the tiles? Sorry for asking such funny qn becos my colleague who is renovating the house now is having a hard time with his contractor because he expects the tiler to know how to lay in such a way the wall n floor blends well. I don't know got such thing until he told me, rightfully, wall tiles should place like subway tiles, if u r using 30x60. Haha, I was telling him, that contractor must be cursing behind his back.

    It's cheap for Krono Original. I was quoted $6.50/p sf, for two bedrooms its already $2300+. Anyway, I'm thinking to use Kronotex instead. Btw, Hafary sells wood like tiles n my friend was quoted $3+ which he said its very nice, look like wood but yet they are tiles, thus easier to maintain.
  6. This is the feel which I'm looking for when we went Koh Samui this June. I'm still thinking should I combine industrial look and modern resort.
  7. Last time I bought Dunlopilo @ $1099. or you can go for installment plan, Slumberland promotion $2698 - Mattress + Bed frame + Accessories. Else, you can go for King Coil.
  8. U can try Amazon. I think its cheaper but don't know if worth shipping back. I'm worried that the glue cant hold the weight, anyway just KIV first, this is not my priority for now.
  9. Home Fix selling $119.90 No drilling required, mounts to wall easily with silicon glue L: 32.0cm H: 24.5cm D: 9.4cm each pump holds 15fl oz
  10. Not only that, I also first get to know that if u pay comm to the company, u need to pay additional 7%, but if pay to agent directly then no need 7% gst. Actually, I think commission should not include GST, agent already earn 2% from us , then add another 7%. For my flat, it's easy job for agent becos my location is gd, she no need to advertise, within her network already got potential buyer.
  11. After talking to Kronotex, Closet Design and Caesarstone, I think my renovation will be more and more ala-carte. Stress. All the direct dealers do not want to deal with sub-con. Am still wondering if any ID will want to take my project. Just saw Harvey Norman got good deal for Electrolux Kitchen Package - Slimline Hood, Hob, Built-in oven and Microwave oven only $1599 but too bad they can't hold the stock, latest delivery must be by 15th Sept. not fated.
  12. Nearly but because the ID want us to go all the way to IMM and my husband very lazy so we did not want to waste our time.
  13. Congrats! And ur house is the perfect condition, no need hack a lot like resale flat, can really save a lot in Reno.
  14. I only know I can change the toilet bowl from squatting type to sitting type. My current flat common bathroom is squatting type but I don't like so I change it to sitting type. As for floor tiles, why cannot hack?? But definately you can't move your toilet bowl from left to right.
  15. Hi, Can PM me your ID contact? Tks.
  16. My current flat is done by Ho Bee who is a contractor 8 years ago. Boss is good but workmanship so-so. Now I'm looking around for ID to do up my new resale flat. Have not collect keys yet but doing some homework here, hopefully can settle one gd one. Both me and my husband like clean cut, we do not have a lot of features, built in. No matter what trend, as long as both of you are comfortable living in there and can face the design 5 - 10 yrs down the road, y bother whether the design is in or not in? Most important is practical, child friendly unless you got a maid to do house chores.
  17. I think there's a new rule for agent, they can't represent both seller and buyer because there will be conflict of interest. By right if you are direct buyer, you don't even need to pay that 1% commission to the seller agent because he is representing seller. Some good agent will said that he will not collect comm from you, maybe just an ang pao for his work, but some will asked his colleagues to co-broke.
  18. Tks for your advise. Think must buffer in more budget for my kitchen top le, because I really like to have a better quality kitchen top in long run, rather than facing the ugly top.
  19. Tks lyefam. But if buy from Amazon, when do I need to get ready becos I'm staying with my parents and we do not have much rooms to put all these stuffs, thus unless the shipment is fast then can consider. Btw, is Kraus sink deep enough? I think deep sink is better so that water won't splash out.
  20. Are there alot of furniture at OM Joo Seng? Been to Liang Court and IMM but nothing fantastic, and my colleague said go Joo Seng better. Anyway, we can't buy any furinture now because we still don't know the actual dimension, it's kinda risky. But, nice sofa don't come cheap, I like We love Air but I don't think its cheap because we feel that sofa should not exceed $1500 max, (my husband give me that budget) as we will not sit on it for long.
  21. Hi, Anyone used Mayer kitchen sink before? The quality seems not bad and not that ex, thinking should I go for Mayer or Blanco.
  22. My current kitchen top is soild surface, well hard to maintain and now with many burnt marks, scratches and rust mark from my dish rack, thus my new house I'm considering to use quartz for better investment. I have been looking around for Caesarstone countertop, have asked ID to quote using Caesarstone too but am wondering does Caesarstone supply directly to ID or directly to end user with their in-house installation? I just don't want ID quoting me $180/per foot run and yet its not even Caesarstone lowest grade. Btw, is there any showroom which I can view? Need some Caesarstone users to give me some advise. Tks.
  23. Pardon me for the poor pictures, I tried to rotate but no matter how I upload, I can never get them vertical. I don't know if the so-called GROHE promotion is a good deal or not but at least we find them still within our budget especially they come in 3 pieces, shower head, shower mixer and basin mixer. Another thing that we learnt from GROHE, if going to install in HDB flat, we need to buy brackets because the water piping is not concealed so the brackets are to hold the mixer to connect to water pipe.

  24. Yea, visited ur blog quite often and thanks for including all the 3roomer blog, I got lots of inspirations from there. Now. I'm just wondering will ID get mad if I don't let them do wardrobe? Closet design told me that most ID don't like them, thus asked me to finish reno then called them to build the wardrobe. Anyway, most reno package don't come with wardrobe package, so I might opt that out. For Prego laminates, you got those from made in Malaysia or Switzerland? What's the price range? I did asked Kronotex about Prego price range and they told me if we get the floorboard from Switzerland ones will be more costly than theirs. My friend was quoted $3.50/psf for those made in Malaysia. Kronotex told me if I want higher grade floorboard I need to engage them directly, most ID will not get their premium range, thus I guess I need to inform my ID to do cement screed for my bedrooms,and do flooring later. At the end of the day, I really wonder do I need an ID?? Even then, contractor not that cheap also, thus I thinking if ID can give me some creative ideas for my kitchen then its more worthwhile to engage them.
