Update on 28 Feb 08

Today seems to be a slow moving day. Nothing much seems to happen. Only more tiles were laid, including our common toilet floor.

Another view of the master bedroom toilet.

After the grout lines are filled, the rough edges are not too obvious. still deciding whether to accept it or not.

Hi,

If I remember correctly, I think it's $2.30 psf. The box-up at the toilets come original from HDB.

Well, there were some chips. But after grout line filled, they are not obvious anymore. Moreover, most are at non-noticeable area e.g. behind my future mirror, vanity cabinet etc. So I'm living with it as I think having to re-do them may cause more problem.

Reno is going at a slower pace now as wet work, ceiling work and electrical work all mostly done. In fact will be taking a 2 weeks break as will be waiting for the capentary shifu to be available. Today the first coat of painting is done.

Living room.... white all round with grey false ceiling.

Bedroom.... same theme.

Not much development on the reno. So spend the weekends buying more stuff for our new home. Bought lights from PanTech @ Jurong East. Mainly PLC and fluorescent lights. But still come out to be $944! !!

Then today went to bought switches that we are going to replace for the whole house. Bought this series...

Quite cheap.... $1.40 for a 1-gang 1-way switch.

Hi Crazy...nice renovation!

So now are you waiting for carpentry works?

HAPPY

hihi,

can i check when you overlay kitchen wall tiles, what happen to your electrical swtiches? do you need an electrician to take it out or just lay over the tiles around the switches?
