2 Room Bto Themeless With Philips Hue Lighting
Glass and doors. Installed a bar for exercise chin up and double as hanger for drying long laundry like jump suit. Behind it I did a shelve above the DB box to make use of this space as storage. Room door is up but haven't peel off protection. Door cost about 1K from Sunyu due to my selection of laminate. Glossy pearl white door. As for toilet door I am sad i choosen wrong color, should have go for off white instead of pure white. I thought pure white will match closer to my pure white wall. Both aircon 9K btu and 18K btu with 27k outdoor unit by Starmax also installed. Besglas Alumix wardrobe with laminated glass door. 4 Hang bar and 4 shelves all adjustable by allen key. My Jade Green sliding shower screen is up. Loving it. House is 90% completed. Pending touch up, curtains, ceiling fan and some common fixture.

a) Yes need to Y split from sink outlet and connect to dispenser, probably need drill a hole into countertop to let the pipe pass thru. b) I also worry electricity but apparently it doesn't work like water heater, it uses instant heater and cooler, only when u dispense then energy is used to make it hot or cold. So it is safe to turn on 24/7 cos if no water is dispense, no electricity is used. c) yes it comes with 3 filters which must change once the number of litres is filtered. I dunno the filter cost. When I was looking at hot cold dispenser, the 3M one selling at $1388 was my top choice, but the salesman turned me off if u read my previous posting. 3M only comes with 1 yr warranty and each filter is $160. If spoil after 2 yrs, your $1388 investment is gone. So I don't feel safe to buy it. And then I found Hydroflux, they sell me the package for $2138 with 4 sets of filters and warranty the machine until the 4 sets is finished. Assuming you are a family of 4, the water you drink from dispenser will be double of a family of 2. For my case only 2 person, each filter can last me long time, probably 2 years, so 4 sets can last me up to 5-6 yrs at least. And I don't have to worry about machine spoil as they will replace it for free if break down. I bought this to get rid of boiling water everyday for drinking, this alkaline filtering is a bonus to me, healthy life style, save counter top space. Gonna use this water to cook instant noodle and make ice cube, should be more healthy. You should consider this too for all the benefit and convenient you get from it.

I didn't do the mirror as in the picture on previous post, i just choose 2 top shelves and 2 bottom shelves and 4 hang bars with 3 vertical L shape support frame. no drawers. 2 Sliding glass door as per the pic but i don't like see thru so I choosed laminate to paste on the glass. Total about $1600 for 1.6meter x 65 depth and 2.4 height. Also need to pay about $380 to construct the partition board as below pic. So all in slightly less then $2000. Also will be silver colour, if choose white need to top up money like few hundred more for the powder coating.

Misc Update Some progress and misc update. W888 installed with bidet spray and valve. Bidet jet pressure very strong like water jet skiing Hydroflux hot and cold dispenser installed. Just barely fit into the height. No more boiling water. Hue light casting in the bedroom, effect is good on white wall. Of course this red is ugly, like red light district. Pink was nice. More hue light photo next time as router faulty out of the box got to get it replaced. Build in wardrobe from besglas coming this week. Including sliding shower screen and 2 glass door for toilet. Renovation coming to an end soon after glasswork is up. About time to order the curtains. Wanted string vertical blind but this is the most special I can find in singapore, about same as normal vertical blind except it has got a thin mesh fabric in front of it, this is view from the back. And price is 3 times normal vertical blind. Probably will just get normal vertical blind as it is not the string type I wanted. This is the string vertical blind I saw online and wanted to get it but not available in singapore at all. Looks like no market in singapore for this kind of blind. My Sitoca comptuer table and custom made dining table also coming this week. More updates next week.

So you will be getting the philips Ambilight TV? I tested the ambilight apps which react to whatever your handphone camera shoot at and very impressive. Then you configure which light you want to position to extend the light effect off the screen. If just doing sound ambient not effective enough as compared to lights extension of your tv. With a ambilight tv you can use your cove as light extension instead of react to sound.

Thanks Ahyong but I am not technically skilled like you and I don't feel comfortable touching live wires. Also I hate changing drivers. I reckon even if I change the plug the wireless controller is also very big to tunnel thru. So I rather make a 13A and just plug it in, easier for me to replace it next time no need to cut and join. Why don't you paint your cove ceiling white so color casting on it will be nicer instead of casting on a dark area. I try to keep my house as white as possible so color casting will look like you got a coat of paint in that color.

I saw it as well but I already bought 2 non plus version. Next time then use new model. Their online website say extension kit, probably already selling the new model but no news of how much is each extension cost. I am having problem to install their light strip as it doesn't work like usual led driver. Need to plug into a 13A socket, so very hard to tunnel the light strip around my carpentry especially with the wireless controller in-between the strip and driver. Those standard lightstrip electrical wires that carpentry and electrician run for me cannot be used.

andotang replied to ZzzMonster's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - HDB Resale Renovation & Interior DesignThank you for all the reviews. That makes my choice easier. I need 2 fans, so Haiku is a must for living room, also heard the wind spam 2 meter away from wing tip so I am sure it be windy enough for me since I am only 2 room BTO and I can only use the 52" instead of 60", wish I could use the 60" since same price but will be very near the wall structure, think must give allowance for air to circulate. For bedroom I can use a Spin or Haiku, all other DC fan seems no competition to these 2 at all. So either I buy a $1500 haiku and a $900 spin or just get 2 x $1500. Only worries I read about haiku is people who used after 2 years start getting abnormal clicking noise, if my $1500 haiku don't last me many years more then the spin then really not worth the investment, but then again, the haiku looks **** bloody awesome that you got to get it for the looks. Not gonna get the led light or sense me option for haiku too so to make it bare bone so less thing will spoil. add too many feature more chance of break down and waste money asking them to come service. You think it is too much to ask for 5 yrs of usage without problem for the haiku or you are happy even with 2-3 yrs and it become noisy and beyond repair. Was thinking to buy 2 haiku so I can swap the parts out if one failed and keep it as spare part for the other one still alive and kicking. Zzz if your spin break down and you need a new one, you will get haiku or spin for your bedroom?

andotang replied to ZzzMonster's topic in Reno t-Blog Chat - HDB Resale Renovation & Interior DesignMind telling me your experience with your haiku fan so far, like wind power and noise level and any abnormal noise? If you didn't buy haiku which will you buy? Spin? I ask because having a tough time whether to go ahead with haiku cos heard their service is very bad scare break down within 2 years not worth for that price, with the same price can buy 2 spin or Airfusion Climate II. Your review so far with your experience will be nice.

Granite Top and Blum Hinges Granite top for vanity installed, dropped my first choice of Black Galaxy as it doesn't turn out as good as those displayed in showroom, the glittering bits too little on actual piece as compared to showroom. So I got Imperial Black instead without looking at actual sample. Am satisfied with what was installed although the Imperial Black seems different from those in Soon Bee Huat showroom. Vanity top with a tall mixer tap. Kitchen top with build in dustbin. Using counter top stove for cooking. Blum Hinges for side opening door panel. Blum Hinges for lift up top opening cabinet. Drawer track for the 3 drawers. Hinges for cabinet above the fridge. Press to open. Flip up type. My cabinet in bedroom and living room should be using Blum hinges too but they don't even have the Blum word on it and looks cheapo. Gonna check with ID what kind of blum hinges are those.

Lights and Heater Installed. All my lights is installed but I cannot change the color yet as I didn't bring my router to the new house yet. Still got a lightstripe not yet install in my cabinet. 2 x E27 hue pendant in the back for hue effect. This I use a 13w E27 daylight for normal usage everyday. Kitchen Light, as my kitchen is long shape so I get a long adjustable light, can put 5 x E27 bulb but I only put in 4 x 7W bulb. Bedroom platform lightstripe. Hard to replace next time so hopefully don't spoil so soon. Because this lightstripe comes with normal 3 pin plug and a controller for hue so it doesn't install like those usual one color lightstripe. E27 downlight from Philips, no need worry about replacing drivers or bits and pieces of false ceiling dropping down while you change the drivers. This light is direct connect and can say as never spoil, only the bulb will spoil which you just need to screw out and replace easily. All this convenient for just $10 exclude bulb. E27 Pendant light for dining table. Using 13W daylight bulb for everyday usage. Hopefully light will not cast shadow onto the ceiling fan. Close up view of Philips downlight on ceiling pillar carpentry. Toilet light and T5 in box up. My heater is installed and it is a perfect fit due to the slim and long design. Will post my granite top next.

Bombshelter Rack I choosed a slim profile metal rack instead of wood panel as I don't like the wooden smell in the bombshelter lingering all year round. Custom made to size. Kept a gap on the left side for tall item like ladder and ironing board. Right side will be used as shoe rack, custom size so it flush with entrance wall. Far view from outside. Bird eye view? Using the granite from the cut out of kitchen sink to make 2 shampoo shelf in shower area. Hopefully enough space to use for me and mrs.

Carpentry is up. 5 tier shelves inside the DB box. Yet to decide what to put inside here as it will be warm due to router heat. Pillar carpentry to hide wires going up for the 2 hue pendant light. On top can put things or collect dust. Table space for everyday use and pendant for daylight bulb. Vanity pending granite worktop. My biggest carpentry in the house is this shoe and storage cabinet. Laminate wasn't as nice as what I see on sample.... well...my fault. I am glad I decide to cut 2 U hollow on the side panel so view will not be block. But in the end I decided to put the shoes in the bombshelter rack and keep this cabinet as storage for other stuff. Thank you for viewing.

It is known as "Moisture Resistant Particle Board" and Carcass is 16mm with 18mm door. Usual carpentry is Carcass 14mm with 17mm door. No my fridge is not in a cabinet, it just happen the partition board is there, I didn't want to cut a big hole from that board, only a small hole for the fridge plug for ac power. My stove is counter top type above washing machine side, not cooking beside the fridge.
