Yo bianzi! Hehe.. Looking at your photo, looks like there is a small beam on the top left-hand-side of your photo.. That, together with the location of your 2 water pipes (connected to wall) actually makes it seem like it is not practical to install the other way round; which is with the brand facing outwards.. *shrug* Anyway your current water tank orientation still allows you to see the indicator lights on the side of the water tank right? If I'm not wrong, it will be more difficult to see that if your ID had installed it with the brand facing outwards... *double shrug* hope I helped somehow... Yeah this is one big headache! Install on the wall behind also cannot (no space & very difficult to turn around to reach), on the glass shower screen also cannot (no space & scared sth happen to the glass Hahaha ), install on the vanity cabinet also cannot (no space)... In the end, we are planning to install the toilet roll holder on the wall OPPOSITE to the toilet bowl! Wahahaha... CFO & I even took turns to do role playing to "sit and reach" (not the Primary School NAPFA test version of "sit and reach", mind you.. ).. Location good enough, can reach! Anyway we have a neighbour-friend who invited us over to see their house and coincidentally they also installed their toilet roll holder at the same location! Hehehe..

Sheesh I am so beat right now... But the 'show' must go on & here I am once again... Hee. Today I will be bringing to you other generic updates on my humble renovation!! MASTER BATHROOM TAP INSTALLATION - The Kohler tap from TaoBao has been fixed up! Standard fare with good water flow. Oh yeah, the toilet bowl is finally fixed back, which meant a bit less stress for myself whenever I want to visit my new house. Wahahaha.. I finally don't have to visit the toilet & decrease my water intake before popping over to my new house.. If you know what I mean. HAHAHA. HANS GROHE RAIN SHOWER INSTALLED @ MASTER BATHROOM - Easily the most gorgeous article that I bought from TaoBao so far... *hwing hwing!!* Water pressure is great & works like a charm.. Very very satisfied with this purchase... KITCHEN SINK & TAP INSTALLATION - CFO is over the moon with the kitchen flex-hose tap! And I am a very happy man because my dearest wife is so happy.. The entire tap is rust-free & feels solid when I use it; that's including the lever at the hand-held outlet. The water pressure is good too! The only drawback is that we were kiasu & chose to buy the longer version... Should have gone for the shorter variant because then, our future dish rack wouldn't have to put so high up... Luckily CFO & I are about the same height & not that short... Phew. Barely made it. 38L JOVEN ELECTRIC WATER HEATER @ SERVICE YARD - Bought this from #TapzGallery along Balestier Road... This is the energy efficient variant, which you MUST remember to ask for if you are also getting electric water heaters like myself... Unless you are prepared to pay a bomb in electricity utility bills.... Hehe... Wanted to get the smaller 25L capacity but #TapzGallery didn't have stock for that already.. The smallest capacity energy-efficient model was this 38L model liao... Oh well. And that tops off my wonderfully productive Monday today!! HOPE YOU GUYS HAD FUN! SLEEP TIGHT! I know I will...

Hi Saru! Thanks for follow my blog all the way till now! Hehehe... I apologise in advance that I left the job about the wood trimming for windows up hanging in the air... Unfortunately I don't have good news for you... When I got my unit keys, #CalvinTan had come down to measure the clearance for the window wood trimmings but advised against it on the spot... This is because there isn't much clearance for him to install the wood trimming for the top rim of the window frame... He said it could still be done, but he told me it was not worth it because it wouldn't look that nice... Plus the fact that my window frames are (THANKFULLY) in white-ish aluminium colour, and not the dark brown colour... Sorry again Saru... Maybe you will be able to do it for your unit... Hello seowleng... Oh no you are mistaken... My vinyl flooring only covers all 3 of my bedrooms, dining hall & living hall... Kitchen, service yard, household shelter & toilets are not included... While we are on the topic of bathroom floors, I did overlay them with hafary tiles...

TAOBAO purchase continuation from Post#296, Post#297 & Post#298... (I last ended at TAOBAO #11 ASSORTED SOFA CUSHIONS, so here are the rest... I have also finally fixed all the hyperlinks in the previous posts ) TAOBAO #12) WISHBONE CHAIRS Link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=37407162671&spm=2014.12193480.0.0 Considerations/ Discoveries/ Rants/ Advice: CFO & I were looking for Eames chairs that were suitable for our scandinavian theme but decided they were over-used & too main stream... As such we bought 6x of these white/wheat-coloured replica wishbone chairs!! Called Y-chairs in Taobao, CFO & I are immensely happy with them! The woven fabric seat is so comfortable!! TAOBAO #13) KOHLER BATHROOM ACCESSORY SET Link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=40164394898&spm=2014.12193480.0.0 Considerations/ Discoveries/ Rants/ Advice: All accessories are chrome-plated very nicely & embossed with the words "Kohler" on them! Of course I think they are not genuine Kohler products.. In fact some of the accessories look EXACTLY the same as what you can find at Hoe Kee.. Just that the embossed brand name is different... Haha... Something fishy.. Heh heh... ANYWAY good stuff for a relatively cheap price!! Check out the link! TAOBAO #14) KOHLER TOWEL RING Link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=37766541202&spm=2014.12193480.0.0 Considerations/ Discoveries/ Rants/ Advice: Bought this seperately because the earlier Kohler Bathroom Accessory Set doesn't come with a towel ring... Again, it is nicely chrome-plated & there are no signs of rust or any defect... "Kohler" brand also embossed on it... TAOBAO #15) HAND SPRAY Link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=25978252421&spm=2014.12193480.0.0 Considerations/ Discoveries/ Rants/ Advice: First and foremost, guys this is not called a bidet spray! It's called a hand spray!! HEHEHE... Got 2x of these chromed beauties at a steal! FYI I have seen an exact model of this in a bathroom accessory shop along Balestier going for SGD80 each! These taobao babies on the other hand, only cost me about SGD40... TAOBAO #16) BIRCH CLOCK Link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=38271706822&spm=2014.12193480.0.0 Considerations/ Discoveries/ Rants/ Advice: Nothing much about this, other than us getting #CalvinTan's approval for this design... Loving the birch frame & the refreshing pastel blue!! And that's all for this lazy Saturday evening!! This is LeonJennaWong reporting that we have cool weather today in the northern part of Singapore & I am going to turn my attention to finishing the last bits of my kiwi fruit that CFO prepared for me... See ya!!

Granite is definitely cheaper! If I'm not mistaken, the cheapest is granite, followed by #Kompactop & finally iQuartz! Good luck for your own renovation mrbyetz!

Yo! I plan to get those long armed vacuum with a brush at the end to clean up cobwebs & dust periodically.. And on top of that have to keep cleaning.. Hehehe.. Hey there! Hmmmm.. Off the top of my head, the #kompactop seems to be about 5mm thick.. I am still not living in my house but as I was mentioning, I did do an initial "splash about" (in some parts of the world it's called "playing with water" LOL! ) and the #kompactop seems completely water proof! I was told that the colour also won't fade after extended periods of contact with water.. U must take note that #kompactop is not wood! It's some kind of vinyl/ resin/ hard plastic.. Hope I helped!

Quick blitzzzzzz in a desperate bid to catch up on my blogging!! But first I want to ask... Did anyone win 4D based on the 'lucky' numbers that I gave last night? Wahahahaha... Aiya so hungry now, waiting at the Starbucks near Jurong East MRT Station for CFO to finish work... CFO where are youuuuuu.... Hmm what's a guy like me to do.. Have to try to catch up on my blogging on the limited laptop battery juice I have left & hope this laptop doesn't die on me.... Hehehe... So without further ado, I bring to you... ALL ABOUT TRACK LIGHTS INSTALLATION TRACK LIGHTS @ FRONT OF LIVING/DINING AREA - 2 sets of track lights have been installed in my living/ dining area!! Really brightens up the entire room by illuminating the walls! Can't wait to buy those huge framed pictures and to direct the track light beams onto them for extra effect.... Currently my dining area still looks a little dark, but I'm hoping that my 3x #Miniforms slope lights can sufficiently illuminate that area! My gorgeous loose furniture TV console has been delivered!! WOOHOO!! TRACK LIGHTS @ BACK OF LIVING AREA - So bright & pretty! *hwing hwing!!* (Oh yeah I actually put up track lights for my corridor passageway also, but forgot to take photos... Another day then! ) As you can see, CFO & I have found that the vertical beam shelves are quite useful to put our bags, water bottles & other accessories during our periodic visits... Wahahaha... And that's all for track lights... Moving on to..... ALL ABOUT #KOMPACTOP INSTALLATION The #Kompactop supplier finally came in to install the long-awaited table top surface! YEAH! KOMPACTOP @ KITCHEN (THE SIDE WITH HOB & HOOD) - Apologies the photo is a little blur.. (Dunno why when I take picture in the day time always quite blur one lei. *shrug*) The surface is hard & ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! The workmanship is also good, with sealant being applied at the join line between the #Kompactop & the adjoining wall... No complains thank goodness... KOMPACTOP @ KITCHEN (THE OTHER SIDE) - Did I mention that the LED light strips & the #Eubiq track (600mm model) have also been installed? :) So happy to see the kitchen coming together now! Fast & furious progress here! KOMPACTOP @ MASTER BATHROOM VANITY CABINET - My subtle fear has been addressed... #Kompactop is a very ideal surface for use in the bathroom's vanity cabinet... From my splashings around, it's definitely water-proof & can take a level of beating in a bathroom environment... The #Kompactop surface & my Kohler sink look has been accentuated with a 5W LED light (with movable head; bought from TaoBao! ) installed above the sink (in the box-up)... Lovin' the look & feel of my master bathroom! And I suppose that is all I have for now, laptop really REALLY running out of juice liao. STAY HAPPY & HAVE A GLORIOUS EVENING FOLKS!!
