  1. I;ve seen 3 common places to buy tiles listed here: LSH, SBH and Hafary. Quality and price, I tink have to go there to check urself.
  2. wah ! thot realli abt the tooth.. but then turns out about something else.. hehe ! hmm,...somemore i just send this enci the email on the wallpaper eh.. bt no reply yet .. hah !
  3. very nice bt at 600, dun tink i can afford leh... was thinking instead of painting the wall and door one colour.. and then put the winkplay stickers on it. bt i'm nt sure if 1 type of paint can be used for doors and walls or not.. dun tink so rite ?
  4. dun worry. as long as u like it that's all that matters. for my house, both our parents dun like the neighbourhood at all. but everyone else thinks that it's great. to each his own i say...
  5. hi cornetto ! are ur squarish bedroom side lights the ones with design ? those are nice ! most likely we'll get the small table lamps from ikea as well once the house is completed. oh. the rooms and living room also has ceiling fans with lights. so including those, i would have spent a total of abt 1.8k.
  6. i saw something similar at Soon Bee Huat before... bt I tink that it's actual stones tho...
  7. hehe ! no pics of painting yet cos will only be done on thursday. hope to get some pics by then !
  8. alrite ! we have decided to go with ID's electrician so that the ID can co-ordinate everything (easier for us) and also peace of mind on the end result. Good news for toilet bowl. We get to exchange it. Most likely going down this weekend to bring it over (so heavy !)
  9. we paid our ID $650 but the electrician said that they paid him only about $400+. and we need to top up $900 more to complete the job. and yes, our ID's electrician need $1-1.2k to complete the job. like wat he said, seems that my ex-ID also cheat him out of the money abit lor. but then i still like a bit dun believe. haha!
  10. hey xwih... all the best fr ur situation. remember, it's always better that u know it now than realise ur mistake later.
  11. Okay. i gt a flat price of $900 from the old electrician and an estimate of $1k - $1.2k from my ID's electrician. help anyone ?
  12. Realli hope can do exchange, have to call up the shop later. Bought loads of lights last Saturday. 22 (13Wx2) downlights from Light + Form 3 "moon type" lights from Ikea + 11W bulbs 2 LOCK lights from Ikea + 11W bulbs Total Cost: Slightly less than $800. Which is just nicely within my budget. Hehe ! FH gt a phone call from our ex-electrician today. So weird ! Anyway, he was asking us if we want him to continue. I am thinking of using him (we didn't contact him previously cos dun have his contact number) as he had already done it halfway and know where everything is suppose to be. Plus, we have already paid him half the amount. But also another side of me is cautious. In case that he is still in contacts with our ex-ID and may try to do something funny. Our current ID is pretty flexible and dun mind the previous guy to do the wiring. If we choose a new electrician, costs may be higher but also at the same time, I might have a better peace of mind due to electrical works but probably stress over the cash. What do u guys think I should do ? One good news: Painting is to start tomorrow. Yea yea ! That is most likely one of the most visible change u can see in the house.
  13. oh man oh man oh man ! gt a call from my ID stating that the toilet bowl we bought can't be used ! our prev ID said that 6" is fine but nw the new ID said that we can only go to a maximum of 5". I realli hope that we can do an exchange of some kind. sigh...
  14. Thanks all ! Appreciate all the answers ! Most likely we are painting it ourselves
  15. Heh ! I just spent a total of slightly $800 on lightings yesterday 22 PLC (13Wx2) from Light + Form Cost: $700+ 2 LOCK ceiling lamps for Kitchen and Service Balcony 3 moon like lamps (forgot model name) for Balcony and both Bathrooms 6 x 11W bulbs All from Ikea. Cost: Approx $70 Very happy with my purchases !
  16. Hey peeps.. quick questions: my bathroom pipings will be done in copper. can we paint the pipings ? if yes, wat type of paint should i use ? i assume tat if the pipings can be painted, it will be done after the installation. Also wat type of paint do i use for the big big white colour plastic pipe ? Thanks all !
  17. wow ! so much ?! that is realli asking a lot eh.. bt chinatown is quite a good location wor... i also believe that the owners are just trying their luck to get a high price. all the best in ur search weezersg !
  18. yah we did looked around before gg fr the appointment. mine is an RP flat as well and i was lucky since FH's good fren is living same block and he didn't mention abt any major issues. at another flat that i viewed, i did talked to the neighbours. see if they gt any comments. mostly just see the top, bottom and side neighbours. go at different times and also on different days to get a feel. all the best !
  19. hi Happy.. if u feel that u are pressured then dun give in yet lor. customer is king BEFORE he signs the contract. and sorry to be cynical, and my apologies to jasz_24, but for me, i prefer a completed house owowner to give opinions. because of my bad experience with a particular reno ID, i've been more cautious ever since.
  20. just reply and say that u are not ready yet to sign as u're still waiting for other quotations. don't let the person pressure u. be strong, stay firm !
  21. hi there.. sorry bt can i know wat is COV ? I tink cos the areas that u are looking at is rather hot property so the owners possibly might wan a higher price. btw, is telok blangah heights the one with full length windows ? very nice !
  22. yep yep ! gotta buy a few stuffs more ! Thanks Ben3555 ! HDB finally finished the re-screeding my whole house ! I was so excited abt it that I forgot to take pics ! Hopefully it'll be dry enuf by Friday evening so that I can move the toilet bowl from the room and the plumber can fix it up. The bad news ? The workers move the existing sand, cement and stone to my balcony ! I hope that the balcony tiles are not damaged. My contractor did put the cardboard on top to protect. Thank God they did ! Now that screeding is off my mind, the next big hurdle was the done-halfway electrical and lighting points. URGH ! Such an eyesore. Once that's done, i'll have a peace of mind. Everything else is moving along nicely. The kitchen cabinets should be starting next week. Can't wait to see that once up as well as the painting and the flooring ! Wheeeeeee
  23. it will be written in the booklet and the HDB officer will inform u as well
