Meet up with Richard, my project sup today.. went through all the defects i mark out using marking tape.. i make things very easy for him.. i tape all the problem areas and number them.. even write down all the problems on a pcs of paper so he can refer to them easily.. me is a gd owner =p

Anyway all the defects he say he will settle.. actually nothing too major lah..except for one pcs of scratch MBR floor tile and one pcs of chip off MBR toilet wall tile which he say he will speak to the tiler..

He will also get the plumber to see my common toilet W/C coz it is leaking..

Mr J is now abit worried... our rainshower seem like rain drop..the water pressure not as gd as what he expect it to be...

Is it due to the fact that he didnt on the storage heater when he test the rainshower? Is it due to poor water pressure in our unit? Or is it due to the water piping layout of the house?

Any suggestions?

Hi Poseidon_gal,

Great to see your recent updates. Seems like your reno goes on pretty smoothly. Thats great.

Ummm.. I read previously that some units experience poor water pressure during the initial testing of the rainshower as their water supply wasn't turn up at the main water valve (outside the house). Do check with your ID if the water is turned on to the right level already.

Thanks Rasp.. i will check with my ID regarding that...

searching high and low for stainless steel kitchen pull out drawers. I need for both 450mm and 900mm. Went to Royal Franco and they only left 450mm.

Any one know where i can get cheap and good ones? Prefer it to have soft closing feature. I need 2X450mm and 2X900mm.. budget around $500 for all.

Anyone tried buying Ikea Rationell drawer damper with rail ( $29/2pack ) and request carpenter to install it to your own drawers??

The Ikea salesman told me only can fit into Ikea Rationell series. How true is that?
