chipee

joseeng: tat's great, choosing laminates is the most interesting part grace: I've not tried the mover Chris. My dad got his friends to help with the moving tis Sat. Recently, I moved the fridge & got a mover to do it. Quite ok, got his contact thru a client.

Grace, dun worry too much & stay to your list of agenda to get things done. I believe everything will be fine Sounds like the free upgrade is a good deal. Just make sure tmr they turn up & not too late.

Grace: Thanks, the curtains do made a difference .. I din spend too much time deciding the materials though, I knew I needed a light & iron-free nite curtain for easy washing. Here's a closer shot of the pieces: Maybe your carpentry will be in real soon .. perhaps after your a/c installation? It's tmr rite? Pls test your a/c for it's coolness

Hi guys .. busy busy ... just got some moments for a short sneak here Grace: I waited a week to two for the carpentry fabrication & installation completed for most within 3 days. Pretty fast yeah ... We're quite satisfy with the wood work. Design wise ok, simple & neat. Nothing loud. I'm anticipating the mirror & glass installation tdy, cos Edmund just informed & I'll be getting the City Gas connection on Thursday Joseeng: Just take note to check the parquet after revarnishing .. if u will get BSC to do it. I had an area in the MBR redo again on Monday becos wrinkles formed. I had yet to check tdy but hopefully no more hiccups. It's pretty messy & definitely dusty. The carpentry was coated with a layer of dust. Good thing was I had protected the wardrobe. Since Edmund cleaned up my house prior to the revarnishing, cleaning had to be done for all the bedrooms .. even the walls I'm afraid I can't comment on the painting becos din get Edmund to do it. Dulux All 2010 had a wider range of palettes. Edmund picked one Dulux All color to match the feature wall .. Treasure Trove KSJL: Your frosted window is well done. Nice, do show us when your service yard's blind is up I bought the sofa & expecting it on Friday .. as for TV, still considering 42, 50 or 52 .. argh, can't decide still Maybe I shall wait for Edmund's bill & see if it helps to make my choice ouch ... ... As for the living hall curtain, I only got one variation taken on my hp .. not brightly lited:

Hi joseeng, it's listed as one of my defect items. Cos I got hollow parquet in all the rooms. They came to repair last week & this Sat will do the varnish. I'm suppose to get the parquet done before reno but their schedule too packed. So they ask me to do it later after my reno complete Maybe you wanna check with BSC again? If it's possible, book a timeslot with them

Hi Bluewater, my reno is coming to an end soon .. HO next week I think Sorry not much pics to show yet .. but I'll do it soon. Edmund has done a good job for us .. really thanks for your referral. Currently, I'm busy cleaning up & get ready for my folks to relocate. Haha, one final jolt .. I've not seen my 'final' bill from Edmund yet I guess it's quite prevalent to have additional items along the way ... haha!

Grace, yes we all will begin our new life at P@D. Soon you & joseeng will join us .. hehe I'll be residing at Holland primarily while my parents moved in to the new place. Ytd, Edmund cleared my place & complete the wash up. Guess my reno is coming to an end soon .. HO likely next week & I'll see the "bill" coming Will you guys be ard during the aircon installation? If possible, please do so you can ensure the work is done up nicely KSJL, I'm busy cleaning up the house. Wow .. hard work. Nvr in my life ... LOL!! Aiyo .. I find so much flies & insects in the house ytd nite, esp the lights surrounding Those scrawlies are creepy. Do you have the same encounter? I see woes coming ............ Today, the fridge will be going in. Living hall curtain installation will be done as well. tmr bsc guys coming to varnish the parquet. Forsee the coming week will be very tough .. i still can't decide on the TV *sigh* PC show is still a long way ..........

Hi guys, I believe HO will be soon cos we're expecting to move in by 1st May. Our new flat's owners are very eager to takeover .. so we had to move on yaya .. soon will be lurking ard P@D & TPP So far, I've been to the 7-11 twice. Looks pretty good & spacious. Grace, I din get the a/c done by BT nor GC, or even AB. Yap, I heard the installation schedule is snake long for them. Workmanship counts it all. Whether good/bad we will only know in times to come *sigh*

Hi Bluewater, you've got some nice decors that complemented your home. Overall looks very pleasant to me Your coffee table is simple & yet unique. It has the functional & sensational design you'll enjoy & admire for many years. I like it as in the possibility of decor combinations it offer, tat's a pretty timeless piece.

Grace/joseeng: hey thanks .. enjoyed my weekends & some work had been done. Paint touch up & last batch of carpentry completed. Glass/mirror installation will marks the end .. hopefully Wow Grace, tat's great your paintings done. Your reno progress is going on well. You've got nice fans too .. looks powerful & appealing .. esp the blossom design It's gonna be a fruitful day for you

hello .. yes TGIF, KSJL .. & everyone!!! If there's something I wish for, I wanna go home & Still so many things undone & last lot of carpentry will be on tentatively next week

Cosmic_ex: haha we'r on the same facing .. maybe can *wave* to each other next time Yes, it's quite bad & I hope something can be done to improve. Surely adding windows will change outlook of the external facade. Wonder if they would permit us.

Grace: tat one not Alibaba sign .. it's paint mark on your door. Have you tried getting BSC to varnish your main door? See if you can list as defect & report to them. I saw someone painted their gate, but not door yet. KSJL: Yes, I encountered the same as you. When my yard door open, the wind gush through the house. Bloody windy at times & I'd see my ceiling fan rotating by itself. Now, I'm concerned if my hanging pendants will swing & become frenzy. I've friends complained their hair went out of shape after visiting my plc .. as if they've been taken for a ride I think my situation is not any better cos I nid windows to shield the rain

Grace: u're lucky gal .. the white paint is very useful. Good for removing the Alibaba sign. I got it removed by BSC .. so hopefully Mr. Alibaba dun come again KSJL: oops .. hehe my bad I didn't customise cushion for the bay windows. I gotta few from Robinson last time so it's just nice for the bay. Sometimes I stand on the bay window to eat wind ... just hope no birds attack I need to shelter up my yard area cos rain may flood my corner, no choice *sigh* I've yet to brainstorm on tat issue, but the recent storm is really terrible. If you prefer privacy, doing roller blind at the yard will be good. Or, vertical blinds? They are also quite easy & versatile, can be drawn neatly back to the side, or the louvres can be rotated to an angle tat allows the right amount of light into the area & maintain an element of privacy.

Cosmic_ex: Hey, great to hear from you Yes, the bay windows are nice but u're rite. I do share the same sentiment on the MBR layout. It's really a teaser. After much brain-wrecking with some miserable alternatives, still succumbed to "THAT" position for good LOL .. oh well, I gave up. Did you manage to workaround yours? Please share if you do Joseeng: I used Nippon Medifresh & Odourless, but I've my own painter instead. There's so many nice colors I like .. wowowo .. but not gutsy enough to use them Grace: I'm from 1E. Yes, HO gonna be soon .. expecting lotsa washing & cleaning this May Day It's gonna be exciting when the colors are up. Then followed by lightings .. u'll have a better gauge of your home in the nite .. tat pretty marvellous KSJL: Thanks, you must be dancing & dining all days at your lovenest yah. Totally immersed in the happiness of your new home Aiyo, I've left out of my mind cos busy drooling over other neighbors' lovely nest at their blogs Reuben82: Congrats to your new home & enjoy your ID sourcing process
