Progress updates for today. In a week's time, I should be settling in my new home. It is very rush now and certain things will be done after shift in. For example, i still have 3 lightings yet to be delivered from TB. Glassworks and remaining doors should be up either today or tomorrow. Carpentry for balcony area is also still in progress. The friendly eubiq guy came over today to do some site measurement and also gave some advice. Bosch delivery also came to replace the wrong model that they have delivered earlier on for my oven. The workers from my contractor are all out in full force to do cleaning and patching here and there. Quartz and granite are being installed for my kitchen island area while i was onsite for inspection. Should be all up with my kitchen tap and other basins in the room and taps installed. Some patching works are still in progress and also the installation of my haiku and vento fans. Quartz countertop installed. the long cutout on the island is for the installation of the eubiq track for use of electrical appliance or laptop. Induction and gas cooker are also cut out. Granite countertop for common and master bath respectively View of the so called island stretching from living to dining. Balcony carpentry still in progress, the middle portion is for washing machine while the left most portion is still work in progress for a cabinet to display my water feature. Water heater for lower floor is hidden at the centre top. The empty portion to the right can be use for storing small items. the haiku fan is finally up. have not really tested it yet. It would be nice if all cables can be concealed.

Thanks Harriette. Over the weekend, I have shifted some of the stuffs over. The installation of the haiku fan has been done today but vento fan is still in progress. Plants and rack purchased as required by Fengshui. There were a few disappointments though 1) The dimension for Eubiq tracking was not followed by the carpenter. Somewhere somehow, the communication broke down and the cut for my tv console became 1496mm which the communcation length was 1003mm. They had to replace it 2) The vanity mirror seems too close for comfort. A 200mm was too much for us to take like putting a mirror right in front of you. when you wash your face. This has to be rectified too. Work in progress for this and hopefully it will be done and resolved by Thurs 3) Went to discuss with main contractor today, I had asked to omit a track lighting cable but somehow it appears today and this has to be removed as well since the cove light from the living to the dining is more than enough. 4) The top part of my kitchen cabinet is white laminate. But this looks weird for my "tall boy", hence it will be change to wooden laminate to match the lining. Got to tell my mind that this is "special" 5) The oven model was delivered wrong on Friday and had been sitting inside the "tall boy" when i discovered it. As I never bring the invoice along, and just agree when i see one oven being delivered. On second look on sunday. It was different from what i have seen previously and immediately went to GAB to ask them check and contact Bosch. Other end of my study, facing dining The TV console area, noticed that there is a cut-out area whereby the length is too long and have to redo. "Tall boy" standing tall and weird with the white laminate. It will be change to match the lower part. Shower pipes are all installed.

Its just 10 days before the shifting. Think alot will be ongoing after shift in as I see that the handover would really be quite tight. Went down to check on the installation of wallpaper and ended up in disappointment. By right the company should have come down and take measurement of my place before placing an order on the size. I sensed something is wrong and even challenged on his works since he ordered a 3m by 3m size when i mentioned that my height is 2.6m and width would be lesser than 3m. However, he reassured that his workers will do everything nicely and ask me not to worry. End up when i reached today, the installer asked me which part do i need to cut so that the wallpaper can fit. I should have known better . Bad experience for me and lesson learnt that there is nothing call "everything will be done nicely when measurements are not taken". On a side note, i was quite pleased that i have installed my man utd wallpapers in the study room. Quality of the wallpaper bought from Megastore was not really the best as it really feels just like paper and can tear easily. Anyway, since it's already bought, I will make do with what i can. Besides the wallpaper installation, I just took delivery of the oven and microwave and installation would either be tomorrow or next week which i have no idea when (last workweek to go). There were no workers at work today at all. It seems that the main con, carpenter, plumber and electrician are all tied up. Really wonder how much they can progress for next week . Just as I was about to leave the house after wallpaper installation, i realised that the kitchen stove top was cut wrongly. By right the gas hob and induction hob should slightly off-center and under the perimeter of the hood. But it seems the carpenter cuts a rectangle right in the center. Called my ID and after checking. He mentioned that the carpenter is aware of this and will make rectification. Perhaps, that is the reason why he was missing today... My master br bedhead wall. By right, the pic should stretch abit more to the left. But due to the wrong size, the main tree has to be salvaged. Pink is the overall colour for Fengshui reason, just like my purple accent wall for other common bedrooms. Not sure how long the wallpaper can last. Definitely the quality is much inferior to the korean wallpapers. But the overall effect to me is still awesome. No chance to take the other end as my phone batt went flat Delivery collected for oven/microwave, gas hob, induction hob and chimney hood My previous pole system wardrobe which i have shifted from old place to one of the common bedroom. Due to miscommunication, the left part of the cove lightings has to be cut so that the last pole can go all the way up. Then it will be possible for new doors to be fabricated and can close neatly rather than hitting the cove lights. Lastly, while waiting for the installer to do his job which i waited for 3hr plus, i took a paranomic view from living room to capture the progress of the reno. 65% done

Yes Makanology, i like all the different styles, cant really put one theme for the entire place. It's gonna be a rojak but confined within certain walls of the house. Different feel at different places... Hopefully all will come together next time.

Hi Alfredt, Realised that I seldom take pics from the balcony side. Below is something which i have now. But the top hung sliding door is actually done from the inside of the kitchen. I have an earlier picture which shows it from the kitchen side. Hope it helps you. See below.

Taobao purchases mainly for kitchen bathrooms. do not really have a specific theme in the new place. I like almost all i found in renotalk forum. Loft, vintage, modern. So specifically for kitchen bathroom, i try to make it vintage by using copper colours. Industrial themed picture frames Made orders for curtains yesterday, while delivery of kitchen appliances would be on Friday, together with wallpaper installation and installation of bathroom accessories would be on saturday. Magicseal measurements would be tomorrow, together with wardrobe payments and kitchen and bathroom top measurements.

Carpentries are delivered today and installation are in progress. Besides taking delivery of my bathroom accessories, the TB bathroom accessories were also brought over. Was really amazed at the progress with the carpentries. Most of them were delivered and installation is in progress. There were some minor hiccups here and there but overall everything is still fine. minor issues reported 1) door size mixed up for 2, contractor to redo. 2) Electrician make mistake on hood/hob area as he leave space for only one switch when 2 is needed 3) box-up for common bathroom not taken into consideration by carpenter. They will have to cut short the carpentry size so that installation of lightbox (shining upwards) is possible 4) Water seepage spotted at balcony with the afternoon downpour, have contacted window contractor down to put silicon and remedy cooker countertop and island countertop microwave countertop and cooker countertop View from balcony View of kitchen from staircase Workers doing the installation

Thanks all, final 2 weeks to go. daily tasks everyday right till the end...Will post more pics if available. Just informed that my TB purchase for toilet stuffs have arrived.

Next up was the installation of the metalgate. They arrived on time. 3 workers in total. 2 locals and one china worker. Poor thing, as a newbie he was being nagged here and there. At some point, i can see the anger in his eyes and is afraid that a fight is coming. He was probably doing all the "sai kang" while the other 2 old birds just do minor stuffs plus make comments. Part of learning process maybe. That is the poor guy below Teaching in progress End day, the final product is all that i am concerned...

Ok, so finally the main door is up. On saturday, I had to make sure that the main door is being installed so that the people from homeImprovement can come and install the lockset. Lucky there was no hiccup, and the door was up on time just as the lockset people arrived to do the installation. The whole process took around an hour. First they have to work on the newly mounted door to create an opening within the door, I am quite amazed that they are able to create that hole in the middle and not splitting the whole door in the process. Any wrongdoing and the door might just split open. That is the most tedious part, the rest is just putting in the lockset and then do some screwing and tuning for alignment. Alignment in progress The final outcome! Sunday was an off day. The work continues this morning when my WCs and basins arrived. Not really sure when they will be installed hence leaving them in the study room first. In total, 3 WCs and 2 sinks plus payment

Besides the polishing of the parquet flooring. Staircase glassworks are still in progress. Not too sure when will everything be up though perhaps in the next week or so. All the windor grilles are installed though. Sides of staircase wall are covered up with carpentry as shown in the first picture. Taking a closer look at the carpentry works. The spaces in between will house energy saving bulbs on alternate levels. Just hope that the final product can match the desired effect that i browse on one magazine with picture below

Most of the lights are installed just pending the delivery for the rest of the lights from TBs. Had some minor hiccups with the location of the power points. Decided to shift them to the side instead of the center of the walls. Parquet workers were doing 2nd round of polishing and putting a 2nd layer of lacquer this morning. Aircon in one of the common room was reshifted slightly so that it will not be blowing directly onto bed which is bad for health. The rest were located either above doors but not all could be done this way as the trunking and piping have to be concealed. Carpentry works are in process and should be up by the next week. Have been doing quite a bit of coordination to arrange for deliveries of my furniture prior to shifting in for 25th Nov. Let me put it down as a way to recollect everything 1) Main Door should be up by saturday 2) Main door lockset from Yale YDM3109 will be schedule for installing in the on saturday 3) Metal gate from Metalworld will be coming down for installation on Monday (timing yet to be confirm) 4) WCs and sinks from Toto would be coming down on monday as well (timing to be confirm) 5) OPSH will be coming on tuesday to do measurement and install one parition wall. One side partition beside MBR entrance is already up as shown in picture below. There will be a L-shaped WIW measured 2.5m by 2m done up. 6) Bathroom fixtures will also be delivered on either monday on tuesday from Bretz celebrity bath and locks. 7) Wallpaper installer will come to install the wallpaper in the mbr on next friday. Below is the image which is not the clearest. But the overall effect is to look pink for the room.
