doubleEM

Congrats...

Any experience with this yet??

Then he might have to take you to another tile shop because these days there are more shops to choose from...wanna try to change your mind tomorrow with them I feel you should maximize all your alternatives before bending over on such a important decision..

Yup yup for sure just praying only small ones and nothing major. Made all my required purchase early to facilitate this process too . Let's see. fingers crossed.

Same thing happened for us with our hexagonal tiles at Hafary but thankfully we found a more suitable color at LSH down the block! Whew... Good luck for the quest...

Hacking all done today and in 2 days but unfortunately debris cannot be hauled in time so they will return tomorrow to remove the debris. Tiling work is next but they will not begin till next Monday. Fingers crossed and hope my scheduling isn't affected. Always my biggest fear when my timeline to move is tight. But I have faith my ID will deliver the goods...Let's see.

The hood looks well done up from the inside. 1st time seeing something like this though. New things to learn and know everyday

No worries chaos glad to share and help

Makes sense too thanks for the info

The layout is squarish and proper usable spacing which is great and the view is awesome too...

Well from some other Tblog discussion this I remember once extender is use the speed cuts by 1/2. So trying to see if possible to settle with simple router itself or is there a particular router with better in built range capability to achieve this effect.

Thanks for the tip but are costly trying to achieve a more cost effective way and less cumbersome way to this.

congrats on inking the deal and awaiting work to officially commence

开工大吉! Work commenced today officially and my original 3 day hacking can now be completed in 2 days! Yippie! Our ID got to work early this morning to lay down the instructions to the hacking crew for her and work commenced and she duly send us an update to inform us of this matter this morning. What surprised us was that she actually made the effort to walk through to our neighbours in effort to apologize to them for the noise that would be created during these 2 days due to the work. I'm impressed by her EQ on this issue. Not bad as she continues to impress us with her work ethics thus far...very considerate which is a trait she has that ensured she got our deal besides her design flair of course. She also agreed to assist to coordinate with the windows guys to come down to our unit to take measurements for quotation for window grills since we have decided to replace all the window grills in the unit as its check design now and black in color of which we are looking to change to powder coat white with singular horizontal lines across (More damage to burn the pockets) But gladly she was ok to assist us on this issue which allows us to save a little on GST cost. Kudos to her on this willingness to listen and help in whichever way she can to save some $$$... So she returned to the unit in the afternoon and updated us with: Who Wrecked My Home???? Well fully hoping the hacking completes tomorrow as promised and the next phase of work begins...this is where the official pain begins to the pockets since at this stage most ID's will demand their 50% payment...sobs... Smooth Sailing is all we can hope for now...

If your block is already done with the MUP or scheduled for MUP you can apply for the permit with HDB to install 2 compressors but if your area has not even been scheduled then basically don't even bother. Unfortunately my current area has gone through it so I can have 2 compressors now but D... I'm moving out of here and the new area has not undergone so I'm stuck with a single compressor again haha! On the good side, I'll get to save $$$ and not spend on luxuries. Cos truly trying to cool down the living/dining area in an EM is not easy purely because of the open vacuum space at the staircase area. So you need at least 2 strong 18K or 24K blowers to achieve some effect for the area. So what we have gone with is a System 4 in the end with a 12K blower in our new MBR and 9K blowers in all 3 bedrooms on 2nd level for now. We will be shifting the compressor near to the edge and fan blowing straight out of the balcony itself so the whole area will not be so hot due to the heat from the compressor fan. Not sure how others are doing it but this is how we have arranged with our ID AC guy yesterday. Quote came in and we decided it's acceptable after comparing to some others we have asked because this is compared as a non standard HDB installation that we are doing and they will be doing multiple trips as per our ID request and coordinate fully with her so this will be the bonus we get. As for network this is still my headache for now but I guess most suggestions will be the new Starhub cable + fibre package where you can then have a cable modem and router on 1 level and fibre modem and router on another level to attain the best effect. Would be good with any other experts here can share a better way out! I'm all ears...

Thank god else I cannot afford any delays at all with my tight timeline.

Hurray, Its finally the 2nd Appointment day and HDB is bustling today perhaps due to the long weekend and tailback of resale transactions! Got our keys a day earlier thanks to our really great sellers who obliged and realized they have even tidy up and clean the whole empty house for us before this handover. Nice clean and neat nothing more we could really ask for. So here we go: In it's raw state we can see the home is well taken care of by the ex-owners who have lived here for over 10 years so kudos to them but unfortunately we are the type of "reset" new owners where we would reset the whole home when we do decide to purchase as it will be our home and hence should be designed and made to be our home. Unfortunately this process truly hurts the pockets but we just have to be prepared for it and keep to our budget. So hacking officially commence tomorrow and it's now officially Ready...Set...Go! The home is now officially in the hands of our ID whom will be at hand tomorrow to inform the hackers what she requires from them and keep me posted on the updates. We went over today to meet up with their electrician and AC guy and shall now await their quotes to see if we would go with them or seek external quotations from other vendors to do this job. At least our ID is nice enough to say she will help us coordinate and no worries even if we decide to go with others. Let's hope all things go well and smoothly from here...

Yes..that's probably the only downside about them..but work of art worth waiting for?? Guess it applies to you in this case.

ZzzMonster bro, that's alotttttt of carpentry there.... Met her in evening to hand her the keys, hacking begins tomorrow yippee....

Excited you mean Congrats and good choice of ID when it comes to space planning and design wise. Their works are really good if you are open to hacking down all walls or as many as you can allow them to Eagerly await your updates...

Yup that color wood from castlery range is very nice from table to console to bed frame and side tables too.

Mind sharing the website of the other shop besides Castlery you went to today? Can't find them on Google. Thanks

Well when Id's take you to the company's designated store it usually means they have some "perks" offered to them so it makes sense not to settle for any items on the spot but no harm to go and get a quote for the items. Then go around to other stores to hunt down your shortlisted items and start narrowing down the best prices you can get. So it's good to start window shopping around before your work commence. But there are some ID's who would recommend you to go to other shops because they have the type of design you are looking for and then ask you to just go have a look on your own..now this then means they will not have anything to get our of you buying direct from those shops. Same applies with lightings usually.

Congrats on the progress...looking good.

What's left to go: Bathroom Basin Mixers - 2 pieces 1 Rain Shower Set Master Bed Frame Bedside Tables Kitchen Mixer Light Fixtures We have more or less shortlisted our Master Bed Frame and Rain Shower set and toilet accessories so I guess we are in good stead for now. With the rest with no real hurry less the mixers as we still can't find what we truly are after yet.
