tommy78 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) 1st of all Happy 2009 to all and i must mention that renotalk forums had been very informative and helpful in building my 1st home. Lol Actually i had move in to my new place on 28th Dec 2008. Original condition of the flat is good and previous owner got only 1 build in wardrobe which we decide to keep..however it seem the toilet condition is quite bad...so decided to spend more to some $$ to make over the toilets.. the rest of the reno include changing of all door except main door and changing of 6ft graphite top with new kitchen sink . And 1 feature wall to conceal the bomb shelter + shoe cabinet at my foyer We decided not to spend a bomb and time on renovation as we wanted to shift in before 2009. We decided to set about 10k for renovation to make over. As for now only left my kitchen water pipping not connected due some reason .....but should be up by 2nd Jan 09. Thus instead of posting before photo only, i will be posting before and after at 1 go :x Here is our floor plan Kitchen Before Kitchen After Living Room Before Living Room After Master BR Before This the Wardrobe we are keeping as it is Master BR After Blue Common Toilet Before Blue Common Toilet After New flooring with shower kerb and accessories including basin and toilet bowl.. new toilet still kind of messy with all the cleaning equipment but MBR Toilet Before MBR Toilet After Edited December 31, 2008 by tommy78 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

asianms 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2009 Congratulations on your new home. You have really freshened up the look. I like your frameless shower screen. Can share with me how much it costs to do that? The place I buoght has sliding shower screen doors with tracks. I'd really like to change it to the frameless type. Also, how did you change the kitchen sink without hacking the kitchen counter top? Good that your ID accepted small jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was charged $390 for the 10mm thick clear tempered glass frameless shower screen. My ID are actually my elder brother's friend... so even now is peak season he also do for me and my site dun need much supervising by ID as it is near my workplace and old home so i drop by almost everyday to check myself...anything just call my ID to get it done lor.... but still the progress is still quite slow cos of the peak and holiday season. Appreciated at least my ID trid to push abit so that almost everything is completed.. By the way i did hack the granite top as the old top had discolored badly.. now my granite top got 2 different color tone :x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tommy78 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) ohh you are at JW st65. Me also at JW st65 currently. going to move in a few months time though. which floor is ur unit at? 5th floor One of the 658 block My bomb shelter and cabinet... at 1st my ID propose to have some other design or add a big mirror. But i dun like the idea of seeing urself or reflection when u just enter or about to exit the house. My wife actually think the mirror is good but i told her she will surely scare herself sometime one.. End up we settle for the most simple design for feature wall and cabinet... note that one of the door for the shoe cabinet is not there ( cos the contractor had bring it back to rectify due to scratches) Edited January 1, 2009 by tommy78 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tommy78 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) **** angry this afternoon... contractor come to fix my kitchen sink water and tap.. then found out my tap leaking.... and then the bottom drainage thing for the sink's screw also too short... Call Poh Joo and ask them my tap leaking...the lady who answer my call is **** rude and unprofessional... my conversation with the PJ auntie (translated into english) Me: Hello Poh Joo , my tap i bought from u leaking PJ: When you bought the items Me: 12 Dec PJ: Har.. Last year har? (Nabei i was thinking we are only 2 days into new year only)Where leaking? Me: The base of the tap the gold color portion lor, so how are u all can send the replacement tap to me? PJ: Did the contractor damage it abnot? No we dun send replacement, u must come down to exchange cos if we send ppl over and found out that the damage is caused by 3rd party we need to charge Me: The drainage thing's screw can not tighten also cos too short. PJ: Har can not be sold so many same set no problem at all, your contractor dun know how to fix izzit. PJ: Sorry you have to come down personally we dun send replacement to door step Me: Then how u all open until wat time. PJ:......... Nabei i was **** angry then i bring my entire sink with drainage cap and tap to PJ. 1.30pm left Jurong to Jalan Besar... reach there almost 2.30 due to traffic jam and some other ppl accident along the road... lucky they attend to me very fast cos the shop is empty no customer.. I tell them i cant fix the drainage cap if can fix up for me as i brought the sink. End up they claim tat the drainage cap must be pack wrongly by factory and gave me another set with longer screw. Then i frak them in the face " Har becos of one shorter screw and i need to come back all the way from jurong" Then they went in to test my tap and get me a replacement set (tested)... before i left ask again confirm no problem? then said no problem... Then ard 3pm + i reach home and tested the tap lucky no problem... hopefully my kitchen sink can be up by tml...(contractor coming at noon) The the new set of drainage cap (with longer screw) previous one the screw is about half the length only The replacement tap.. previous is leaking once pressurize at the gold and chrome joining area personally I wont purchase from PJ again due to the following reason 1) rude and unprofessional sale person over the phone 2) need to travel so far for replacement (to and fro more than 50km heng now petrol cheaper ) I will purchase from IMM or Jurong area...save the trouble . 3) Traffic jam area :x 4) In the 1st place why a **** brand (PJ brand)new tap will leak and give me wrong item Edited January 2, 2009 by tommy78 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
