Contemplating how muchof my flooring I should do wood-like tiles too! Can share where u got those tiles from, the price n item code? Thanks!

Hi, did alan do the power track for you or you seperately did it yourself?

Chairs looking good!

Who's your contractor? I hope not all are like that

Concrete at sink is good

All the lights from taobao? thats alot! all the same type? Let me know if they're any good

K is her carpenter?

Retiling of kitchen walls will affect window grills?

Cant seem to find the Taobao thread: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.286.YWllHd&id=16867518047 Anyone buying from Taobao, can I ride on your order for the above? =)

Makanology: Still not yet selected, still deciding b/w alan or this one that brought me to see tiles already haha But Alan's quote still seem much cheaper... But I'm sitll waiting for final quote from both

Where'd u get the papa bear chair from?

Thanks swaskie! Will go check it out! Met up with a contractor today at Hafary and got dazzled by the tiles collection they had. Loved the wood tiles collection they have, just hoping the contractor will absorb some of the extra costs

can share your taobo link on dining lights? thanks!

Need to start looking for appliances/fixtures: Toilet bowls/sinks/taps Shower heads/mixers Kitchen Big & small sinks Hood/hob Fridge Washing Machine TV Bed/frame Lights! Hoping for more up coming sales!

All aircon units incl those fixed to the window are part of fixtures n belongs to the buyer right? And ceiling fan too?

Same, for ours K us about 10k higger than alan too!

Does Alan offer to bring you to his ex-customer's house or current projects to take a look at the workmanship?

Thanks! Was blum recommended by him or requested by you? I'm trying to see if I can save some $ by getting a cheaper one.. heh

To date: 5 meetups with 4 contractors & 1 id. I must say, the id pricing is really different from contractors! Though the id was sincere & all that.. but the $$ was really Coincidentally, both the contractor & id intro-ed me vinyl laminates yesterday. Got to touch, feel & step on the real thing, & saw how the thing actually 'hooks' together. However, generally contractors advocate tiles, while ids advocate the vinyl. Is there a reason for it? bcos Contractors are more practical (ez maintenance & cleaning & cheaper) while IDs go more for aesthetics & feel? The id did however come up with a different concept from what the contractors proposed, something that we had never thought of before too. And they did stress that the difference in the pricing is, other than 3d pics, because they emphasize more on ergonomics, like placing of switches, which types should be placed higher or lower & why. And of course they will help us match colours n stuff... Anyone has any knowledge on that, care to share? So that I wont need the ID.... haahah Interestingly, no one has suggested the pulout larder system for the kitchen cabinets, until I showed them a pic I took at Ikea to illustrate what I want to them. Or maybe the id would have suggested that eventually after I hired them (inline with their other input on ergonomics). Anyway that info I got from http://www.hettich.com/intelligentkitchens/ is pretty cool! I MUST have that concept for the kitchen, hoping that there will be a cheaper alternative other than blum or hettich. So anyway I'm down to my top 2 contractor choices! (Alan is one of them) ID is definitely out, & 1 contractor I met definitely not the kind of person we think we can work with. K's quote is not back yet, but I dont think it can beat Alan's pricing.

Did alan use blum, hettich, or other types of anti-slam/soft-close systems for your kitchen cabinets?

Can you choose to take air or sea shipmenr? Whats the price difference?

Ooh n for the measurement of cubic metre or weight, , will also include tge packaging as well right? How will you know the packaging's total vol or weight? The shipping agent will inform you?

Hi guys, how long did your shipping for TB items take? Trying to plan how far in advance should I purchse my lights n bath/kitchen stuff for it to be just in time for the contractors to install. Thanks!

Hi dear, could I have ur hubs contact too? Thanks!

Both Share the loots!
