    How long did u wait for 3d drawing?

    It has been 3 weeks since I signed e contract. No drawing given yet

    Hi, I waited about 2 weeks. But I think it should be about 2-3weeks of waiting time.

    Have you follow up with your ID on the drawing? Maybe you will need to do some extra follow up when the Reno starts.. May have the tendency to delay the work..

    As I am a fan of woody texture, my ID recommended me to Kompacplus for my kitchen cabinet top. Apparently it not only looks good, Kompacplus is heat proof, scratch proof and even stain proof. Sounds too good to be true right? To verify its claims, I asked for an A4 size sample to conduct my own test!

    Test 1: Scratch test using kitchen scissors

    Result: Light scratches can be easily wiped off but I managed to permanently scarred the sample after giving it a super deep scratch. Definitely more scratch resistant compared to the solid surface at my current place.

    2. Chopper Test

    Result: To be fair, most of us will not chop on our precious kitchen surface right? But Kompacplus survived the butchering session with minor permanent scars.

    3. Leaving a boiling pot of water on top for 5 minutes

    Results: No visible damage

    4. Direct Flame

    Result: To be fair, this is a wind proof lighter (stronger flame) and I did not move the flame at all. The surface started to crack after 8 seconds. If I move the flame around, Kompacplus survived even after 20 seconds.

    5. Stain test with turmeric paste and soya sauce, leaving it on for 26 hours

    Results: For those who cook curry, you will know that turmeric is super hard to wash off. After wiping with a wet cloth, the turmeric caused a yellow stain on the surface. However everything came off after I scrub the stain with JIF.

    In conclusion, given its aesthetic woody design and high resistance properties, I should be using Kompacplus for my new place (;

    Anyone using iquartz, may I know what are your reviews?

    Hi, I heard from the user.. they have prob with water spot. in the end, i am using quartz top.

    Maybe you can try a water testing?

    Ho ho ho,

    As I am not in the rush to move into the house, I am taking my own sweet time finding the right ID or contractor.

    "A lot of people" said, if you already have ideas on how to reno your house, you can go and find the contractor directly and save money.

    If you do not know, find the ID.

    We know what what we want for our house, however after talking to a few of the contractors, we give up. lol.

    Based on a few reasons:

    1) Coordination work is tough. It takes one to know the process of the reno. Should Electricity goes first or Painting last? One wrong arrangement may affect the others working process.

    2) I realized most of the contractors will not be on time when meeting for design discussion. sorry, but i just can't stand people who are late and they are super late for the appointment.

    3) We are like "chicken and duck" talking to each other… lol.. although i have shown him pictures and color scheme that we like, but they will always give me options to choose, as they already have ready stock. And these options are not even near to my design.

    Hence, we decide to engage an ID to enjoy the whole process of the reno. Of coz, some ID can be irresponsible, but we will just have to deal with one person rather than air-con person, window person, contractor, flooring, painter, and others

    We have a met a few IDs-

    After meeting them for two appointments, we shortlisted 2 IDs and choose one of them.

    Both of them are very knowledgeable, friendly and able to answer every question that I asked them.

    ID 2: It is a team of 2 people. J will be dealing with customer personally and Y will be at the site managing the workers.

    ID 4: It is a team of 4 people. Every time we meet up, there will be 4 people at my house. :) one is an trainee, one is on costing, one is on design, one is one suppliers.

    In the end, we choose ID2 because we can really communicates with J. He is very experience and knows my preference in the design and how to create the coziness of a home. I am sure you will meet those IDs, which they are not really IDs, they do not have design and Know-how knowledge, they only deal will customers and give them quotation. They will not answer my questions immediately. J is not one of them.

    Budget is also one of our considering factor. No GST at the moment. ID2 is able to give us a very good price, after seeing a lot of the quotations.

    Let's pray hard that we make the right choice!

    Sharing with you how I upload my photos.

    I upload them into a private FB album then copy the URL into my RT t-blog.

    I find this to be the easiest for me because I still can upload via mobile.

    :notti:

    Thanks! That's a good sharing.

    Upload via mobile is sooooo much convenient. :good: :good:
