KSJL 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2010 Hi FT, we are neighbour! I got an unit of Pinnacle too.... Looks like alot of Pinnacle owners are doing open concept kitchen as I read alot on the forum n majority are hacking their kitchen. I am leaving it as it is as initially I wanted to change the sink location to make L-shape kitchen but due to waterpipe so decided not to spend too much $ so just leave things as it is. I will be doing suspended kitchen with swing door at the entrance....hopefully it will turn up well! Wish me good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teo 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 Hi fftw, I'm new to this forum. We recently purchased a 5 rm resale flat in the east. We are thinking of going for a reliable contractor who also has some design sense. My husband is also an 'ang moh' so we need someone whom he can communicate with. Will it be possible to send me the contact information for Dennis and perhaps a few photos of your renovated home? Thanks a bunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fftw 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 are we allowed to hack the toilet tiles cos i thot there is a 3yrs restriction for hacking the toilet tiles?? I think you can't hack bathroom floor tiles cos of water proofing. But the tile I hack is to hide the ugly pipes. So maybe can? I am not sure leh. Dennis is going to get replacement tiles for me.

fftw 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Chrome Rose Rain Shower Remember the big hoo-ha over my Chrome Rose Rain Shower? In my great haste to exchange, I didn't take any photos of the cheap china made Rose rain shower that was delivered to me. Instead I only took photos of the Rose rain shower that I eventually exchanged. The difference between the china made Rose rain shower and the european version is very obvious. The weight of the china made ones is equal to a plate of Chicken Rice whereas the european version weights about 3 kg to 4 kg. Also the look of the china made version is very generic Quite ugly actually. Also I suspect they gave me a used version as there was lime scale on them! Anyways... here is the final product.

fftw 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Rain Shower @ Half Price [/u] As I mentioned in my previous post, I took Dennis advise to retain the current mixer in the bathroom and only bought the pipe, Rose rain shower & the "U" shape thingy in order to get my Rain Shower or Overhead shower as some might call it. Total Damaged per bathroom $150+ Also, Dennis contractors are very careful to ensure they remove & replace the pole/pipes properly so no holes can be seen. Before Pole was Removed After Pole was Removed/Before Installation of Pipe for Rain Shower & Rain Shower Final Product!

fftw 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) What Is This?!? Its SOOOO Ugly :( I have not really been going to the house to see what has been done as my hubby is in China at the moment & I am busy at work. Plus I trust Dennis to do what is right after he communicated with my hubby on how he wish to run all the pipes in the house. Including the gas pipes. But to my horror! The gas pipes are all over the place! Its such an eye sore! Why are there so many pipes in my yard ?!?! Bending this way and that way? I understand we have a gas heater & gas dry plus another hot water pipe going to the Kitchen sink. But seriously?!? It looks like a bunch of copper pipes just landed in my back yard. Wanted to call Dennis immediately to ask him what is going on behind the yard but... I don't know what was his dicussion with my hubby on the gas pipes so don't wish to be KPO. Will wait for hubby's return tonight to see what he says... See the photos and be the judge. Ugly isn't it? Anyone has any advise? Maybe there is a neater way? Or worst case, paint it over in white?!? This is how my yard looks like Why is there a bloody bent?!? Edited January 23, 2010 by fftw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fftw 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 Why must they run the copper pipes over my aircon pipes? Can't they run it parallel?!? Two copper pipes, one to the gas cooker hod & another to the sink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fftw 1 Report post Posted January 24, 2010 I found this link on The Building and Construction Authority's (BCA) national yardstick for measuring the workmanship quality of building projects. It provides a list of common complaints after constructions. Might be useful for those who will like to do a proper QC or basic knowledge. http://www.bca.gov.sg/Publications/Enhance...ent_series.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
