Hi Crazycar!!

Just to check with you, did u have any issues with the height of the rain shower? We measured the length from the hdb given tap/mixer to the beam and it was abt 1.25m, but most of the rain showers we saw were abt 1.3m and above! how did u manage to install the rain shower in the MBR? From the pics, i can see that u even have space in between the beam and the shower head! If u dont mind saying where u got it fr and whats the height fr tap/mixer to showerhead? thanks!!!!

hi angel,

u r correct, we have to buy one where the height from the mixer to the shower head must not exceed about 1.2 m. ours is about 1.1 m. there are actually quite a no. of places selling rain shower that can fit into our bathroom. i've seen them at poh joo, hoe kee, royal fanco etc. we bought ours at royal fanco. can't remember how much but i think it's about $400.

our reno is coming to a close and we have to face hiccup finally. thought it will be a smooth process. hai..... :bangwall:

realised that the mirror that we installed above the shoes cabinet had a small chip at the edge of the mirror. not noticeable when view from a distant. but still feel a bit sad as the mirror is new and supposed to be perfect! :( reported to my ID immediately. after discussing with the mirror supplier, they offered to minus off about 20% from the cost of the mirror as re-doing the mirror will involve a lot of work. after some consideration, we decided to just accept the discount.

also realised that our bomb shelter feature wall has some scratches on one of the mirror too. this is too obvious and we want the ID to replace this piece definitely. so handover may be delay by 1-2 days.

mirror ah mirror..... why are you giving us so much problem. :help:

Hi CRA

Do not be too worry.

So far I see yr reno very smooth despite mirror mirror on the wall....

HAPPY

yeah! yeah! yeah! but before moving, a lot of hard work... cleaning, shifting stuff etc. :)

Hi,

African Black is one of the darkest. If I remember correctly, there one that is close to black. But I think it will be too dark for flooring. :help:

ha ha... i also dunno. i only know there are 2 type, air-vented and condenser. Condenser type is supposed to be better in terms of energy efficiency. Most models are retailing at over $1000++. Then saw this new model and it's selling at below $1000. :help:

Our roller blinds are from Jimmy Textiles. :dribble:

Oh the roof top garden is almost complete too!

CRA, you stay in blk26a?
