  1. Hi SaltedCaramel, Thanks! Vincent is awesome. I have no regrets engaging him.All the best with your reno
  2. CURTAINS and BLINDS We decided to go with curtains for the living room and MBR and roller blinds for the rest of the area. I would only recommend 1 person for your curtain needs: Vincent who is famous very famous in Renotalk. His company is called Garvin Marting Services. We approached a few and Vincent gave us the best price and excellent service. I would recommend that you give him at least 2-3 weeks to do the installation. Also when you meet him, its good to have an idea of what kind of curtain/blinds and the colour that you want. Vincent is very busy and you may have to wait a few days to see him again. He is quite humble and gave us sound advice. We initially wanted Venetian Blinds for our living room. He cautioned us that Venetian Blinds will be quite heavy to lift up as our windows are full height 290cm. He was worried that my wife may have difficulty lifting the blinds. We really appreciated his sincere advice. The installation was very neat and clean and it was all done in 2hrs. He and his sister came down for the installation and they are really pleasant people to work with. For MBR we went with 90%black-out curtains. As for the rest of the bedroom we went with roller blinds as its easier to maintain. We also got a water-proof roller blind for our yard area (it comes with a tension cable to hold it in place in case of strong wind).
  3. Hi shoe. Yup you can use the keys to unlock it manually. I will upload more pics as soon as I can
  4. Hi Tarzan, It also comes with a normal key. If it runs out of battery or there is internal problems, the system will become like a normal lock. The system will let you know when battery is low
  5. I would suggest you check with the retailer. You can also call Bigassfans to see whether they have your details.
  6. Yup it comes with warranty. The warranty will be auto-logged by Bigassfans electronically upon purchase from them.
  7. PURCHASES We purchased this Samsung soundbar from Harvey Norman. The sound quality is quite good. Love that I can stream songs from my phone via bluetooth. It comes with a nice subwoofer We purchased this nice clock from vhive. Wife dont like the idea of hanging clock. Bought this step-ladder from Qoo10 for a good price. It comes with free delivery as well! Bought 2 of these cable management boxes to hide all the ugly wires. Another Qoo10 purchase. We purchased this TV wall mount together with our TV from Megadiscount Store. It was installed by SgBros. They are quite professional and it was installed real fast https://www.facebook.com/sgbros?fref=photo
  8. DIGITAL LOCK We bought our digital lock from AN Digital Lock: http://www.andigitallock.com/ Both Yale and Samsung has similar features. We went with Yale as we liked the design and stainless steel handle The ones with fingerprint reader is more costly. We went for the one that uses card. AN Digital is recommended for their professional and fast service. Overall we feel that this purchase is worth it. No need to rummage through keys to open the door
  9. Water Filtration System After doing a bit of research, we decided to go with the Hyflux HF1P+. This is a long acting filtration system and can last up to 3-5yrs, depending on your usage. Its placed under the sink and looks quite good. You can buy it from various places, including NTUC. However, I recommend that you purchase it from their retail shop at Bendemeer Road as you will get it at their promotion price which is much cheaper
  10. Dear Seahew, My apologies for late reply. Please check your pm
  11. FAN Haiku 60inch Caramel by Bigassfans I bought my Haiku fan directly from Bigassfans at Park Mall. The installation was done by an authorized installer recommended by Bigassfans. Its advisable for the installation to be done by the authorized installers as it is quite complex. Wrong installation often results in the fan being wobbly/noisy. Bigassfans will charge additional fees for reinstallation if you engage an unauthorized installer. Price wise I dont see much of a difference between buying it directly from Bigassfans or retailers. Based on my experience at its highest speed, its not as powerful as KDK fans. However, im ok with the wind Haiku fans are much more energy efficient than KDK fans. There are 2 different mounts based on your ceiling height. If your ceiling is more than 290cm, you can go for the longer standard mount (you can go up to fan speed of level 7). If your ceiling is less than 290cm, you will need a shorter mount (up to fan speed of 6). The price of Haiku 52 inch and 60 inch is the same for some reason. KDK R48SP We got this smaller KDK fan for our master bedroom. Its powerful and windy. Wife likes fan and I like Aircon
  12. Hi achtung7, Thank you! PM has been sent to you
  13. Hi Boazchan, The electrician was arranged by my ID. I will see whether I can get the contact. All the best with your reno!
  14. Haha. Im not sure what that one is for as well. My guess is that its for the storage heater in the kitchen.
  15. Yup. Reno is almost over. Will post more pics soon
  16. The sink is standard depth - 200mm. It looks shallow probably because of the angle. My DB box is hidden in the utility room. Heh I thought about the legrand switches. But me and wife decided to go for simple switches. We are using the MK white switches provided by the electrician All the best with your reno!
