  1. Very nice. Mind sharing me the contacts for window + window grille please? Also, your track lights for the living, are you intending to use how many bulbs of how many watts? i using track too but not sure how many metre track and lights i should use..
  2. wow big house.. where is it and how much did you bought it for? Love the giant kitchen that you're gonna have. It's gonna be masterchef worthy. LOL.
  3. pm-ed you bro. I know.. KitchenAid is because I like to bake desserts/cakes, therefore it is a useful tool for me. I currently using those cheapo hand mixer and I don't like my philip stand mixer. How's the review/feedback of the Metra 9 Basin? Hoe Kee selling it as a Package (with matching Mida Sink Tap) @ $589 They got two version of the sink taps - coloured or chrome, we chose the colour one to match the basin.
  4. hi, can you share with me what is your basin tap? Where you bought it and how much is it?
  5. cool. did the aircon installer tell u how to run the piping.. or your ID told them? How are your box up going to be like?
  6. went to Ho Ho to took photos of my door colour and door lock - while googling for Ho Ho Doors alot of negative reviews came out about their service and etc.. So far i have yet to encounter these problems? Perhaps they have changed for the better, nobody knows. There are still alot of IDs getting doors/frames from them and supply to customers, can't be that bad right? (ps: i have included the price on the pics as well, so those keen can just take reference on the pricing. if you need contact feel free to PM me) Solid Door Laminate Colour: Door Handle, think i'm gonna choose the black one for my toilet as i'm doing monochrome style in the common toilet with all the black toilet accessories. Master Toilet Sliding Door: I was previously looking at the laundry systems such as EZ Living, KS Auto System, Steign and few other brands that are always selling at Expo. After much consideration, we have decided to go ahead with Steign Solar as it fits what we need - Solar Drying + LED Lights, etc. As you know all BTO now doesn't allow you to do much of sun drying, and just nice we need lighting at the service yard area. One good thing about this laundry system is that it has a LED light that gives a brightness of 1600 lumens (about 100W) which is bright enough for any kind of laundry in the darkest evening. If anyone is getting a laundry system, don't be lured by the pricing. Be sure to test it out and see how strong/flimsy the thing is. This mostly flimsy part is the scissors arm, and be sure to check and see the motor and parts inside the system (some vendors show the internal of the dryer at Expo). you won't want the scissors arm to be swinging around and break during strong wind (not that i am expecting a thunderstorm or typhoon..) Was confused between their Solar vs Solar S model as the specs seems exactly the same except the difference in the colossal weight - 30KG vs 35KG. I know, I know. nobody does a 35KG load of laundry at one shot. But you know - sometimes those army uniforms, field bags, combat boots and etc all weigh a ton after washing. Therefore, we felt that more is always better than less in this case. Solar Model: Solar S Model: Comparing Laundry System vs Dryer: Hope I don't sound like a salesman for this product, just sharing about this item if anyone is looking to get a laundry system. Over the weekend, the person came for site consultation and it can fit nicely in my small service yard. Best of all, the uncle (Mr Hong) is very knowledgeable about his product and electrical stuffs. He said that my Main Circuit Breaker (MCB) switches needs upgrading as all newer flats are usually B10, sad to say my BTO project provides us with only B6. B6 = 6A rating B10 = 10A rating For those who are unaware of what S1 S2 S3 are, they are the lighting point around your house. So all the lighting points will link to either of these Circuit Breaker switches. Apparently P1 P2 P3 are more for electrical outlets. (learnt something from Mr Hong, true anot I don't know. anyone can verify?) Certain household appliances (eg. air conditioners, refrigerators, freezers) need a higher wattage (a lot more power) so they require circuit breakers of higher ratings, usually 20A. Less power hungry devices like our televisions, lightings, computers can have circuit breakers of lower ratings, typically 10A or 16A. Replacing these would help prevent my house from tripping due to the low Amp for my lightings, although i'm running mostly LED lights and shouldn't be an issue. But better to do all these at the initial stage right? Need some advice from fellow renotalkers: 1) Anyone here uses vinyl flooring for your living and bedroom ONLY? 2) Anyone here using vinyl flooring for whole house (incl. Kitchen) ? Why? Because I have some concerns using vinyl in the kitchen due to cooking/frying. We were considering to overlay the current HDB Kitchen Tiles to a matching tile of my vinyl flooring since most contractors doesn't recommend hacking due to waterproofing issues and cost. Not sure why, but we really don't like the original tiles... Will there be any implication given that the cement screed height will be increased? There are some rumors saying that it affect the bombshelter door, etc... any input would be greatly appreciated.
  7. yess! buti can't visualise whether it will be too cramp. your area seems bigger than mine for the width between each side of wardrobe. i'm doing it without doors, so the depth of the wardrobes are 550mm instead of the standard 600mm.
  8. Hi @happypotato pm-ed you. @JennyTan pricing for doors as follow: 4 x Solid Laminated Door (3 x bedroom + 1 x common toilet) @ $1276 Toilet Frosted Glass Door @ $550 All Bedroom Door Handle/Lock @ $140 as to the evorich pricing, i got it at $6.25/psf when i sign back in 2014. Pricing now should be $6.80 onwards. (those interested can PM me, i can share with you my contact and you can ask him for a better than $6.80 price) i can pass you my contact if you're keen. PM-edyou.
  9. wld be interested to see your aircon pipings and etc. I have concern on this as the aircon piping, water piping always spoil the look of the house.

  11. pls share contact too.. i'm looking to do false ceiling also
  12. Updates: - Collected keys on 30th June, here's a look of the skeleton house: - spotted many defects around the house, glad that there's no hollow tiles found. Here are some of the pictures of the defects 1) Rusty/spotted laundry poles: 2) Rubber peeling off from service yard door 3) Cracked switches 4) Paint not touched up properly 5) Rusty hinges: 6) Bloated / uneven walls (look at all the markings) 7) Chip and scratches on main door I've also noticed that the area space at the service yard is pretty cramp once the ceiling laundry pole is released. Anyone feeling the same? I think it's due to having two large PIPES at both ends of the service yard. Might need to hack if not very difficult to do laundry. one plus point: we got a nice masterbed room view of the neighbouring condo.. too bad our bed will be facing the other side instead. I am thinking of replacing my kitchen floor tiles instead of using evorich. Any one here using evorich in your kitchen?? is it ok or it's difficult to maintain overtime?
  13. interesting boss-secretary blog here. Progress looking good. wow your tiles very expensive leh.. How many shades of "gray" are you into? haha..
  14. mind sharing your contractor details too? i would like to replace my BTO kitchen tiles and overlay MBR tiles. do they do such small project? Thanks
  15. cool. any specific brand/model you are using? soi can buy the same without researching. lol
