greglhc replied to greglhc's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - Condo Interior Design and Landed RenovationI have been addicted to tb over the past few nights because of a new search term for home decor stuff - Zakka So much stuff to go through, including vintage-y looking boxes, storage, mugs/cups, kitchen accessories. Colleagues have remarked that I look very tired over the past few mornings heh

greglhc replied to greglhc's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - Condo Interior Design and Landed RenovationMy contractor told me that horror story too! Must make sure it is an authorised contractor to check gas leakage!

greglhc replied to greglhc's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - Condo Interior Design and Landed RenovationThanks redder! Turns out they can't find the source of the leak so the hunt continues tomorrow.

greglhc replied to greglhc's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - Condo Interior Design and Landed RenovationGotta hack the wall to expose the gas pipe Weld the defect Plaster the wall - which is a problem because the wall will look different as it's cement finish And another problem is where to mount the hood! Might have to shift left or right of the original position

greglhc replied to greglhc's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - Condo Interior Design and Landed RenovationI think I jinx myself saying everything ok Just got call from main con. Apparently the gas people detected a leak and it is due to a screw used to mount the hood. I wanna cry.

greglhc replied to greglhc's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - Condo Interior Design and Landed RenovationHey Redder, More or less done already. The place was cleaned yesterday - was reasonably well done so less cleaning effort on my part Installation for bathroom mirror, curtains on Thurs. Bedframe, mattress and sofa set delivery on Friday. TV on Monday. Next shipment of taobao stuff probably in 3 weeks. Can't wait! Notwithstanding the bill from main-con heh

greglhc replied to greglhc's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - Condo Interior Design and Landed Renovationwah! vanessa, you must have some messy parties Would you conclude that kompactop is similar to solid top in terms of resistance to stains and scratches?
-
greglhc replied to greglhc's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - Condo Interior Design and Landed RenovationAnd out of all that mixture, only the turmeric stained kompactop?

Congrats on starting a blog! I would be so tempted to knock down the walls of the bedroom next to the home shelter heh.

greglhc replied to greglhc's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - Condo Interior Design and Landed RenovationUpdate pics on faucets and sinks from taobao. All installations by plumber went without a hitch. Kitchen mixer faucet with Selena sink. Really pleased with this buy. The height of the kitchen mixer is a whooping 70cm and gives a solid look Closer view of the sink. Rainshower. Water pressure is really strong in my apartment thankfully. Really like the knobs. No odd thingy to pull/push in order to change which shower head the water flows out from. Also has in-built mechanism to vary the mixing of hot and cool water to vary the temperature. Sink and faucet from tb. Was hard to find an undermount sink these days since everyone going for top mount. I chose the faucet because it had an old-school industry look but in polished chrome.

greglhc replied to greglhc's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - Condo Interior Design and Landed RenovationHi blackpeace I am not familiar with Krono Decoria so have no opinion on their product. If your ID is quoting you $7 psf (before GST) for HERF, I would go direct to Evorich and try to get $6 psf (before GST) If your ID is not willing to coordinate the installation for you, not to worry, it is very straightforward since I did this myself. Just ask your ID which stage should HERF flooring be installed, and then discuss with Evorich that is indeed an appropriate timing. You should have some knowledge of the reno activities that are happening before and after the HERF installation, in order to have meaningful discussion about installation date with Evorich. Then lock in a date and let ID know. FYI, it takes between 1-2 working days to install HERF.

greglhc replied to greglhc's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - Condo Interior Design and Landed RenovationHi Sarah, thanks for the link. I thought I am quite a tech geek but after stepping into those forums, I think I am shocked at how detailed the technical discussions are!

greglhc replied to greglhc's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - Condo Interior Design and Landed RenovationHey eddo. Sadly I can only go through peeka and not direct to tb seller. Peeka sent a query to them but I haven't heard any updates. I did decide to mount the rain shower anyway since the rest of it was in good condition ie no rust/corrosion. The part that was rusty was only this knob to raise/lower the shower head. After installation the water pressure for rain shower is really good. A sigh of relief.
