  1. Hi, can anybody PM me Kenneth or Zack or Steven contact? I am urgently looking as I need to start my renovation fast.
  2. haha... from Ikea lor.... My hubby keeps bragging that I made the tables but actually it was from Ikea. Bun bun, I took the pictures already but waiting for my hubby to post the pictures... haha....
  3. Thanks Bunbun.... Really excited as I see the house becoming like a home soon.... Tml I be having my exams and after that, I can finally start to move my things in... got the time to do it already... Tml my sofa and bed is arriving.... Along with my fridge... I am so excited.... hehe.....
  4. Oh... wonder if I am too late... You can try to go Jurong west area to get the fan if you are not too particular about design... We find the price most reasonable there...
  5. Yup... super cheap lor... Actually, my mum was shopping with me around Balestier and we saw so many lights and she was telling me... So expensive... I buy the same design from china only so cheap... haha....
  6. hmmm.... thanks... hehe.... actually my flooring for the kitchen and toilets all black... only walls got combi of white and black.... but glad it didn't turn out to be too dark.... I didn't want to put black tempered glass de... wanted white de.. cos was afraid that black would make the kitchen look dark... But my ID encouraged me to use as he keeps saying that it is reflective so will not be dark de... But he is also the one who encouraged me to take white solid top for my kitchen as he says dark colours if scratched, more ugly....harder to maintain.... As for the sink at my vanity top, I bought at Poh Joo for about 80+.... I honestly not very sure if it is cheap but I bought alot of things there so that I dun need to run around Singapore lar...hehe
  7. Okay... confession time... all the lights, except the dining lights were bought from China.... My mummy went there and bought everything back for us... she only spent maybe less than SGD200 for all the lights.... Then we actually spent abit cos the dining light that she bought, those 3 hanging type de, she forget to bring back something... So we brought the whole set to a auntie who sells lights, then she say buy spare parts not worth it lar.... so we bought the red lights from her for dining area lor.... cos I find it too cute le and the price reasonable mar.....hehe.... Truth be told, even the toilet accessories and the interesting tap that my hubby is playing with, all bought from there... coz its cheap.... hehe.... Ya lor... my parents moving in with us offically on the 1st Dec le... So much for newly wed privacy... haha.....

The tempered glass backing is actually up and I like the look of my kitchen liao... haha.... As for the lights, well, the lights for my whole house is actually only less than $100..... hehe.....
  10. Wah... you really design your own WIW ar.... steady... haha... my hubby and I got no sense of design... we simply go with what they propose.... hehe....except some adjustments added here and there... The knife set looks really interesting....
  11. I not too sure too... We request for two days of acid wash cos we had some things in the house.... So they washed on Tues for Kitchen and two rooms.... Then they washed the rest of the house yesterday.... but can tell they washed for very long cos they wash the two rooms, wash till we very tired... Waiting for them to finish then put all the things inside the two rooms mar....
  12. I got most of my lights from China... The only light that I got in Singapore was from Silic... I think.... The auntie is really nice and even told us that most lights are manufactured in China nowadays....And offered to help us match if we lost any missing parts....
  13. Anyway, more pix.. My solid Surface is now up.... Overview of my Kitchen... ALMOST completed.. Now left the Glass Panel.. Angle angle... Another angle... My Kids's Room with Lights on... The same light again... The same light but this time it was switched off... My Living Area (TV Area) The TV Area with lights switched off My Main Living Area The main living area lights...

OK, all done for now.. these pix are actually delayed. The painter came and touch up, and with the exception of some places, most are done already. The acid wash is also done, and the place now looks clean.
  14. Not supposed to have cabinets there de... He suggested it so that no need to hack but we decide to hack cos we simply feel that the wall tiles not aligned... cannot accept lar.... I also know men all got faults... thats y, everytime things go wrong, what both of us expect is just sorry... When we that, we count wrongly or something lar... I tell u, my hubby very chin chye de... he was telling me, if the ID had bothered with a simple apology sincerely, he would have taken his suggestion... But cos he can tell ceiling this lar... that lar... cannot blame them lar..... Then not even a slightest hint of apology.... that is what pisses us off... Say sorry so difficult meh?
  15. Hmm... just wondering if I just go CASE directly instead of allowing him to hire the "auditor" if I am really unhappy... Is it okay? He hacked off all the wall tiles eventually after we insist that we do not want to build cabinets to cover the wall tiles that are not aligned... Actually what my hubby and I are looking for is a sincere apology and not telling us that he is doing out of goodwill.... not obligated to do for us de....
  16. Great information for this thread.... I had some issues with my ID too... Though it is resolved eventually, he keeps saying that it is out of goodwill that he is doing for us.. He says that if he ask HDB people to come see, they sure say he is okay de and we have to pay the auditor $500... I called HDB and they say that they do not provide or do such things... So is he telling me the truth or what? I have no intention to blow up the whole situation but not too happy with his service... One of the issues that happened, our tiles not aligned and his reason was the ceiling is of different height... so he keeps saying that the HDB people will approve de so he is changing the tiles for us out of goodwill... Go to other contractors and they sure wont do it de....Is he right???
  17. I agree... my parents happily bought me two sets of rain shower as I requested but in the end, we didnt use it... I don't like the idea of storage heater as I feel that it is a waste of electric and water and so big so I opt for instant heater... Though I love to have rain shower but it is simply not practical.... So I forgo rain shower for a normal instant heater....
  18. Thanks for helping to ask..... Maybe really different ID then different bah... Haiz... we drove a hard bargain mar... cos my ID keep saying that he doesn't earn much from my project....
  19. Oh well, considering that we drove such a hard bargain, he got to recoup the cost somewhere right, so I guess we're not surprised that this is happening. Anyway, I would suggest that you don't be too optimistic about your reno first. We were like you all excited in the beginning and sure that everything will be fine, but I guess everyone now knows what happened, so don't be too sure and its good to be a little guarded ba.... Btw, not sure if you understood my post too... His workers are the ones who took out the window frame and knocked of the Mosaics... His workers are also the ones who took out the roman pillars and thus causing the mosaics to fall off again.... (Not sub-contracted out)
  20. Well, guess will have to discuss with him again.... His stand is that since his worker charge him... then he got to charge us lor... Anyway, y is replacing the mosaic expensive? My mosaic is not those modern de... its those old fashioned type that people use to do skirting.... I went to a tile shop that he used to ask too... Think its only one row of a few at $1 wor..... But he is charging us over hundred for the damages to be made good.....
  21. Hi, I only outsourced my rewiring and painting so cannot comment much... But if you are keen, I can recommend the guys who did my painting and lights for me... I asked the electrician just now.. just taking out old lights and put new de, $8... not sure cheap or expensive lar....
  22. When he showed me the VO, I posed the same question to him. I asked, but the things is spoilt by your workers when they remove, then I pay? Abit weird right? His response, my worker took out then the things fall out le.... cannot considered their fault mar... cos they responsible to take it out then damaged, no choice.... I am totally clueless now.... Though it is not expensive but I felt unjustified... and unfair...
  23. Hi All, I posted this query in another thread. If my ID spoilt my mosaic during the removal of the old roman pillar in my living room, do I need to pay for it to be replaced? My ID sent me a VO asking me to pay for it only now when he trying to hand over end of next week. Then during the removal of windows from my kitchen, the mosaic was also spoilt then he suggested to plaster up and paint over it without the mosaic cos he says it was difficult to find the mosaic....Then it was also included in the VO. They spolit it then I pay for it? Really? Normal?
  24. It is difficult to assess if the mosaic can be saved as it was hidden inside the roman pillars. As for the mosaic under the windows, it was actually a few but he said that when his workers were getting rid of the window frame, they knocked off some, actually only about 3 or 4.... but he said it was difficult to find and so asked me to do what he suggested. But I felt that it was abit weird cos when he hacked off my doorframe and affected the floor tiles, he replaced it for us for free as he said that it was spolit by him... But this is not the same???
  25. Dear All, I need to enquiry. My ID just gave me a variable order. I had some roman pillars in my resale flat. In my contract with my ID, I had asked him to get rid of the roman pillars, but in the end, his workers had spoilt the mosaics at the corner of the wall in the centre of the living room. Early during the renovation, I had asked my ID to change my windows in the kitchen. In the process, yet again, he spoilt the mosaics and told me that it is difficult to find back as it is of a different colour. So he suggested to plaster up till a higher height and then just paint over it. Which I agreed because I thought it will save the efforts to find the old mosaics... and it was not conveyed to me that he is going to charge me for that... I simply thought he was trying to ease the efforts to find the things that he spoilt. Now, I am charged for the plastering up wall below the window and the mosaics that they spolit in the living room. Is that reasonable to pay? I felt very weird as I thought if they spoilt the things, they should replace it back?
