booy 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2009 booy Its a cove area which effective is just dead space under the windows. So we flushed with the windows and did a mini cabinet there instead. To store all my spare supplies of skincare and cosmetics. wanted normal doors, but ended up as a surprise to us when Jason did proper shelving and sliding doors. it turn out very well... best of all, was FOC from Uncle soon. I see... But put skincare products is not advisable bah.. It's too near the sun, will have heat and affect the products.. I'm very gian on these FOC things from Uncle Soon.. Will I ever see his quotes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrspiglet 2 Report post Posted May 5, 2009 Hmm, u have a point too. But wood is poor conductor of heat, so i suppose with the layer of concrete and wood backing, i think shd be ok ba? I dun feel hot sitting next to the windows leh.. When will u be meeting uncle again? Seems like he's getting busier n busier! Small little things no need to tell him 1st, just ask for big item quotes, which was wat i did... 2nd meetup at my place we threw in a lot of mini things, including my mini cabinet. Nvr bargain much with him so he gave this FOC to me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrspiglet 2 Report post Posted May 8, 2009 mrspiglet, dun put your skincare products there...the heat in there is enough to spoil or shorten the life span of it... u all sounded so scary... i quickly remove them from the cabinet already. Now left with tissue paper and facial cotton pads. shd be ok ba? Need to spend some time to decode the quotes.. hee.. Better than I expect though.. He's really very qing cai.. Ya, uncle is really very easy going. And fatherly too! But he's really forgetful. mrspiglet, do u have a better picture of your nice nice rainshower (the pipping and stuff, conceal inside wall ar??) You using Instant Heater? I'm trying to get one but my contractor say cannot use instant heater must use tank type and will have alot of pipes running here and there. Thank you thank you I try to post it up this wkend. Its not conceal piping, my contractor says its not HDB approve, but i read somewhere that its legal. Anyway my tiles were already up so i didnt wanted him to hack away. Its not messy, very neatly done despite not concealed. i use instant gas heater, the Rinnai one. not the typical electrical heater. Ur contractor is right that the normal instant heater cannot be use cos it will not be able to support the water pressure required by the rain shower. I'll post the heater for u when i get home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
booy 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2009 It's definitely a right choice to remove the skincare products.. No point spending so much $$ and later the product gets spolit or even cause more problems to your skin.. =) I also heard concealed piping is OK leh..

Mimi 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2009 Today's weather is soooooo hot! No energy to pack my stuff for shifting next wkend, jialat. Just managed to gather my strength to upload the photos taken on Fri. House's a little messy.. pardon me for that. The 2-door fridge that came with only 1 door handle. Notice missing handle on top door? The lounge chair from Barang Barang. Samsung TV... I was quite shocked by the size n wondering if we have bought a TV that's too big. It didnt look that huge at showrooms. Scratched coffee table with sofa. Suede bedframe with the FOC pillows n mattress protector. Hi Mrs Piglet I was browsing yr blog ....yr Toilets are really nice nice Me going to redo my toilet ...something like yr brown toilet too=) And i like that barang lounge...was thinking to get it...
