  1. aiyo....as if my english is very good....mine also half past six... i got no energy to do the coordination, after 12 hr shift work concuss liao lol and ya, for kitchen faucet, get normal one better, find those with angle that suit ur usage and habits
  2. hahhahaha, tats u ar!! hahaha, remember reading ur blog while i am still a lurker, just tat i forgot who's the owner of the blog
  3. wow, u coordinate all of them, 佩服佩服 ...so when u gonna post up some pics?
  4. ya i see ur point lor, but mine is a flat wall ma, the so call hollow part like urs was plastered away by the previous owner redi, so i literally has a flat wall to work with. hence, i nvr include any boxing up and neither i am doing a feature wall or false wall. like that, my headboard confirm shake here and there one, aaron can still say normally they advise owners to do partition board behind the headboard. then i ask" wat about my sidetables? wat if in any circumstances i need to shift my furniture,will ur partition shift along?"....no answers.... ur trunking run along the bottom of ur wardrobe and cuts in from the hollow part into the side of the wardrobe....so ur wardrobe front at the very least still look ok ...while mine one below , one on top, further more at the front of the wardrobe....sliding doors can only slide up to the 2 trunkings....can imagine how ugly the front of my wardrobe is lor 6ft wardrobe literally becomes 5ft, together with the loss in depth by the trunking at the back also..... then why should i pay for 6ft? anyway already unloaded my bullets on aaron abt this liao , tmr meeting up with him and the aircon contractor to discuss
  5. Now the rage part. The aircon trunking imo is hideous! The trunking was laid at the floor's skirting level(see 2nd pic on the top)....like tat how to place my bed's headboard against the wall sia!! Surely, every one wants to see less of those fugly trunking but doesn't mean make it run at the bottom of the wall when i'm not even doing a feature wall!! ugly trunking appearing in the middle of nowhere....wah i cannot accept this! Next look at the Condenser unit, do u think it's safe???? To me, the RHS of the stainless steel bracket is at a bigger load stress than the LHS. The condenser is not fixed to the bracket with bolt and nut, see that little left "leg" of the condenser, if it breaks due to corrosion/wear and tear, i dunno whether the condenser will flip anot. I think this is not safe, what about u guys?? Next, with the ugly trunking marked with red circles, how can u visualise a beautiful build-in wardrobe??? srsly i can't.....
  6. Today is a day of happiness and RAGE!! Due to the uneven wall case, i went down to take a more detail look....turns out to be a day of mixed joy and anger! Firstly, the happy part. Plumbling and electrical work had started, new water pipes installed from mains to various water outlets Electrical wiring had been done to specific power point location. Looks okay to a layman like me, what do u all think?
  7. theirs are pre-fab flat, no walls can be hacked de
  8. hahaha, quoting our MIW govt "if dun encounter prob then i worry!!" lol wah....i tink i kena overcharged for my kitchen plastering wor....800 bucks for a small kitchen sia
  9. about the kerb, yea maybe tat's the purpose lol thx for the figure, needed a rough figure to gauge because my kitchen walls had already been plastered. not i want to be niao, budget really tight liao! anyone else who did plastering for 3rm recently pls share, thx!
  10. Haiz, rant a bit! Start of phase two of the renovation already got problem liao! Firstly, aaron help me liaise the delivery of the bathroom items and kitchen sink which i ordered from hoe kee in early february. One item is out of stock.....they informed aaron but never tell me anything at all when they called me.... never even mention about it when i asked if there's anything wrong with the items..... so purpose of calling me? it is to ask me go down to settle the balance payment.....WTH....my items not all accounted for and yet got the cheek to ask for payment without telling me the truth!! Luckily the out of stock item is not the kitchen sink which needs to be measured for the carpentry works. Secondly, after removing the existing cornices....it was found that my walls are not "levelled" as dunno which previous owner had plastered the wall before.... so need to do whole hse plastering......ffuuaa....plastering is not the few hundred bucks kinda thing leh! hopefully got alternative solution....anyone know the rate for plastering for 3rm?
  11. wah unboxing presents wor! but too bad.... paid by ur own pocket hor!!??
  12. hahaha, not ur fault, i wanted to go down to Hommage during their relocation sale..... then i drag and drag, otherwise the one month period is alright de. i like their fabric sofas, squarish and rectanglish, look very proportional, simple and elegant. i saw one high back rest de....over my puny budget, haiz!
  13. take care, 船到桥头自然直. ur block got upgrading ar? i went over to ur block area on saturday to walk walk, see ur void deck so new so clean so nice!!
  14. oh....never see the edited part in details.. paiseh actually i also tot of extending my storeroom to use as study before(reduce length and extend the width), wanted a longish study room but cost of doing it and the need for an aircon there make me abandon the idea

  19. @makan, mine is alternate saturdays lol @beng, hope ur "confrontation" with ur ID will push him to focus more on ur site
  20. Today is so hot and sunny! Decided to go down to Hommage Lifestyle to see see look look. Lucky their new location is so near to the MRT, if not will sweat like **** for a car-less guy like me. Had read about good reviews regarding Hommage since i started lurking in renotalk, i was hesitant to go down as their product designs seems to be of the expensive type as compared to Nova, Defu, etc. Nonetheless, it's about time for me to decide on my furniture and so...hommage here i come! Indeed, the experience was as good as the reviews suggested. Friendly salesperson who is not pushy, patient and yet offer assistance/advice in choosing colors. 1) Fabric sofa, 2m length. Simple and good looking, wanted to get the model behind but decided not to due to the bigger armrest which is not to my liking. Will be in light grey in color including the cushions and pillows. 2) Bed frame, nothing special and not their expensive type, will remove the middle dividing line on the headboard cushion 3)TV console. their newer designs are of length 1.8m to 2m, which just fits into the entire space i allocated for tv console leaving no extra space at all. was also worried that it may pose a problem when the main door swing inwards. Hence i chose an older design with a shorter length of 1.65m. Not as nice as their newer designs tho all three adds up to the budget i propose to the salesperson when he asked about my budget.
  21. how much is the blinds ar? i wan to do blinds leh but my wife wans those lacy curtains
  22. Today morning went up after work again, but no work done....according to schedule yesterday is the last day for tiling work but they finished early. Guess the phase two works are going to start next week as planned in the schedule. Since i was there, i tried to take some better pics with my noob photography skills Firstly, a close up look on beng's favorite rounded corner base , think the round edge of the tile on top was pretty well done Next, till now i still dunno what is the purpose of this kerb/platform at the bottom of the pipes, had been wondering for almost three decades but lazy to find out the answer Finally managed to snap a pic of my toilet wall and floor, showing the contrast of two different shades of grey. noob photgrapher at work Leveling of the extended living room floor, preparing for laminate floor to cover over it, again...a noob photographer, should have place the camera nearer to the ground? Lastly, boxing up of the Louvre part of the old school door frame...box up so early, wat if aircon trunking needs to go thru, how ar!??
