    @Yune Ki

    1. We picked WY5244D. Think you should match it against your flooring for best results!

    2. Think there's only one office at Sungei  Kadut, can google for the full address. They allow you to view all A4 samples and the real sized laminates. You can bring home A4 samples of those you selected.

    if you're not particular, can get your contractor to request A4 samples too.

    3. There is a separate quote for constructing the platform.

    HTHs!

    Thanks. Was it J & E or Evorich that construct the platform?

    3D Drawings (II)

    What we did here was to try to make all things woody to prevent having the Scandinavian feel. We deliberately changed the laminates of the dining and MBR to the 2 we were contemplating and the 3D turned out really shocking! :o

    We even got Evorich to send us samples because we might need to reconsider our choice of flooring. But we realised that our choice of flooring actually looks really pretty! It's the 3D drawing that is misleading. -__- 3D drawings are excellent in helping us to visualise the design but honestly I think 2D drawings suffice. The colours are way off!

    And so, with the flooring sample, we made another trip to Lamintak. Before going over, we looked through countless pictures that gives off the feel of what we are looking for,  and we finally found out what we actually needed. Thanks to the researcher fiance who can tell what determines the feel of what we want. I look at the picture, I only know I like it. The fiance will analyse why we like it and report his findings lol.

    Another problem with laminates is the what you see in the catalog and what you see on the samples (A4 or smaller) and what you see in real-sized can vary. And I am quite the perfectionist I am pretty anal with it comes to this. If there is just a bit that I don't like, it needs to be changed.

    I think, we have settled on our choice of laminate; and we will be using it throughout the home. Just 1 laminate for all carpentry (except kitchen and toilet). And we ain't getting getting E to change the 3D drawings for us; we trust our own eyes.

    TIP: Please always get samples of whatever - countertop, flooring, etc. And, get a few that you like. You never know when you may change your mind along the way and it's a huge hassle to go get the samples later.

    Hi hi, following your blog closely. Ihave few questions for you.

    1. Do you mind to share the laminate code?

    2. Which lamitak office that you go to, can provide me address and do they give you the full sample that they have?

    3. When you get Evorich to do the platform in your MBR, the price that you've gotten includes doing the elevated platform? 

    Thank you.

    3D DRAWINGS

    Dining + a glimpse of kitchen

    MBR

    Turned out we only have 2 views so we don't get to see how our toilet and shoerack will look like. The drawings turned out to be rather Scandinavian. We will be requesting to view in our new choice of laminates before we decide on the actual laminate.

    We can't decide whether to go with a wood/white wardrobe or a full wood (with lighter wood laminate) wardrobe. Hope the amended 3D drawing can help us decide.

    RENOVATION UPDATE - 12 MAY 2017

     Supposed to do electrical works today but E sent us a picture telling us that he can't go in the flat because cement screed is being done and it's almost finished! :o

    IMG_7052.JPG.8dc8c99e9bcbc37f9baaa76f5ce17109.JPG

    It was a huge scare because I previously told the contractor that it is to be done on 17 May 2017, and HDB haven't gotten back to me if the liaison person has changed. If HDB had contacted the contractor directly and got them to do the cement screed, it means that they did not top up to the level I needed to lay vinyl!!

    I rushed over to the flat and seems that they did it to the correct level. :huh: Getting Evorich to take measurements and confirm that the screed is properly done on Monday!

    I'm doing Muji too and I've the same colour combinations problem that you're facing. Worry thatTaking all wood with different time will make it dark and combi with white will make it scandi

    RECTIFICATION OF DEFECTS

    Tips:
    1. Number the defects; easier to list it down
    2. Take pictures of the flat to track defects rectification
    3. Take note of new defects created in the midst of the rectifiction

    Last Saturday we had a joint inspection with the HDB officer, and the workers came to rectify the defects. We were told that the workers will remove the masking tape labels so I took pictures of the whole flat with the masking tape labels.

    Please be very careful about the new defects! We had them change 2 of our socket casing and the walls were affected (they said they will rectify it) and more cracks surfaced after they removed the basin to fix a cracked wall tile.

    They are still in the midst of rectifying the defects.

     

    FIRST MEET UP WITH CONTRACTOR ON-SITE

    Last Sunday we meet J and E at our place for the first time. Like I mentioned, they really do take quite a while to respond. We waited for 2 weeks or so because they arranged a time to meet with us. But the meeting was good - they seem to know everything! Same vibes per our first meeting (haha) - experienced and we felt that we are in safe hands. J went around taking measurements while E was looking around and telling us what we should take note and also answering our questions.

    We signed the contract on the spot that day! They gave us a Nippon paint book and laminates portfolio for us to explore and we are really excited about it! We are heading to Japan so we can only kickstart things 2 weeks later.

    Works that we would be doing:

    Living room
    Change DB box doors & add shelvings
    Full height shoe rack
    Tic-tac door to conceal bomb shelter
    Entrance kerb to be laid with tiles

    Kitchen
    L-shaped bottom cabinet (w/ quartz top)
    Cement sink support
    Bar height dining table
    Hack half wall
    Hanging shelves (attempt to cover sewage pipe)
    Box up gas pipes

    MBR
    L-shaped wardrobe
    Dresser
    Platform (for bed) - To be done by flooring guys
    Flush recess wall

    MBR Toilet
    Vanity cabinet
    Top Mirror
    Shower screen
    Overlay floor and wall tiles
    PD door

    Misc
    Aircon box up (KIV)

    We initially didn't want to box up our air con trunking to save money but E suggested to run the air con trunking around our living room to avoid having a false beam in our already tiny living room. As such, we might need to do box up.

    ***
    Till we come return from Japan~ We would be choosing our flooring when we're back!

    Hi hi

    Any reasons why you're not gettingJ&E to do flooring? Mind to share your flooring and platform bed quote. Thank you. 

    Enjoy Japan. It's addictive!
