Impress21 Design And Build - My Home Makeover

[oogachaga 2]

The high ceiling is really obvious fr the pictures sia.

So shiok to have such a high ceiling...9m!!!!! I thot it's usu for loft units or penthouse only. Do u intend to hang nice chandelier...

This is an awesome unit...and really hard to come by..how long did you take to find this dream home?

Hi,

I dont know what they call it...could be a loft , whatever not penthouse la.

It took quite a while...almost like shopping for contractors

Yes..I will be updating soon...been quite busy

wah. shuld be private property. u ask them do alot of mirror? wonder how much will dey charge if i do a 1mX2.6m mirror.

Ya..condo. No..only the dining area....had to compare prices ma. you can check with them for quotation.

You can try How Yan Glass Mirror Merchant ( reasonable quotation ), or Mirror made for U for price comparisons..std 6mm plywood and 5mm mirror glass.

Had a peek at your toilets...looks great with those fancy tiles...looking forward to the completed project...didnt have time to go through yet but will soon

I had open the blog as well to talk about the progress. All the wet work is done up very well but the plumber and electrician job is not so well done. Quiet shock that the electrician will not seal up the trunking gap... after talking to Henry, he mentioned that they will help us to seal the gap for the living room only... Job not done nicely..

Hi,

Great!

You can ask Henry for advice...He got his carpenters to help me silicone the doors, which was peeling off already, and also touched up on the stainless steel backing...no problem lei.

Perhaps you can post pics of the problems as to understand the extent of the situation better and get advice.

Will check out your blog

Thanks

My hood is from EF...9401....its the telescopic one, paid $195. Its tucked in when not in use...neater, and just pull out when you need; plus easier to maintain...and cheap too

There's a slimmer one...but it protrudes out, so collect dust lor, and slightly more ex.

I engaged Jin's Brother as its their specialty, they claim to use premium grade Italian diamond powder which gives a better and finer finish. There are cheaper ones using China powder though.

They came at 9am and took the whole day to complete.

Hi,

Kindly PM Jin's Brother contacts and their quotation pls.

Thanks,

DAY 60

Works:

--Final rectification and handover

--Siliconing of mirrors

LG Hi Macs recitfied...although it is hardly "seamless" only if one look very very hard..but otherwise cannot really tell..The LG guy said it was due to the adhesive or something

BEFORE

AFTER rectification..to b e fair, its quite well done, had to shift to catch the right angle to really see the "joint" ..( to the left of the coin )

LG solid surface done to my satisfaction

Speak to Irene 9624 9728...I did mine for $650. As mentioned before, there are cheaper deals which uses China diamond powder...you should find out more, and decide on what you want..

Yes I would say 99% seamless...still can see a bit if you look very very hard

DAY 60 cont

Minor touchups and rectifications were done during the past week, however I didnt like the lower glass panel of the top cabinet....it creaks on opening and closing ( despite spraying WD40 )and movement isnt smooth. I feel its the cheapo hydraulic arm used for that panel..even though it soft closing unlike the upper glass panel. Last week, one part of the hinge came loose when a screw popped out!

Initially I wanted to use the BLUM Aventos bifold system, but the carpenter said cannot be done now as the shelf will be in the way of the mechanism, so the other solution would be to use one glass panel instead.

So the new panel installed ...

There is sufficient head clearance, and easy to reach the panel. Stuffs can be easily accessed as well..

( note: caninet not organised yet...stuffs are just dumped inside )

Mechanisms used...the bottom BLUM damper added for soft closing, and it works rather well. (Notice this damper is not aligned properly just like the other side...need to rectify)

The other damper...(only noticed when I stood on a chair )..will need to call Henry to rectify

But otherwise, the panel is perfect - soft closing and quiet and best of all, no top up

ahaha. u r looking too hard!

Ha ha...must be objective mah ..but its acceptable for me and to my satisfaction
