Haha.. Ne0, cannot be so undiplomatic lah. Does not bode well for future neighbourly relations. Why can't everyone just get along, be reaonsable, considerate and understanding right? PEACE :D

I can. provided i can reason myself to get along with them if i don't consider their misinformed understanding that a renovation creates a small din! ha

See the darker patch of the wall under the window? That how the rainwater come in. Even u do waterproofing also no use, cos when raining, the cement absorb water and the water will flow all the way below and cause water seepage to the unit ceiling below....(this may also be the cause of their water leakage on their ceiling)...HDB and Town council officer have to come in now....haiz...

Of Cable Management, Electrical Works, Lights... and late night Bak Kut Teh

Met with Jaskel last night to settle our biggest headache - ELETRICAL works. Hubby and I had been scratching our heads for a while on how to plan for the electrical points, SCV points and most of all, running RJ45 cables in preparation of Open Net. Our estate won't get it till 2012, but since we're rewiring the house now we have to plan for it.

The biggest nightmare is the study -we have 2 CPUs and 3 monitors, on top of a printer/scanner, wireless router, cable modem - that's a LOT Of cables and wires to manage! In our old place the CPUs sat on the floor - ALONG WITH THE SPAGHETTI-like MESS OF WIRES... :bangwall: It was the PERFECT trap for dust, hair and cat fur.

But Jaskel solved all our cable management woes with one swift stroke of his ball point pen - by hiding them in our study table! You're a genius dude! :bow: Don't lose that drawing of the study table! Buying your 'blue pills' from the 7-Eleven nearby really paid off! :rofl: Too bad it was a bit lao-hong...

5 hours later - after settling electrical and some of our carpentry designs, Jaskel brought us up to see the lighting effect of the downlights and LED at Darkfear's & Marsbars' place. VERY NICE!!! :good: The carpentry workmanship was also very swee. We were considering LED lights since the beginning, but couldn't really picture the effect. After seeing the real thing, we're going to go for it, but it all depends on Jaskel's quotation... HINT HINT :notti: If we leave it to him, he will turn our house into a carinval - he and his multi-coloured LED that he wants to put everywhere! Luckily he didn't recommend to put it inside the WC :P

By now it was past midnight, almost 1 plus already... and being typical S'poreans what did we do... GO FOR SUPPER. ;) Ended up at Balestiar for late night Bak Kut Teh... yum yum... where Jaskel regaled us with reno stories from his experieces over the years. We were quite saddened to hear some of the 'horror' stories from recently.. it's really not easy to do what he does. Before we knew it, it was 5.30am! My eyes lids were starting to droop already... zz Today we both look like panda... Jaskel - I'm going to buy the eye mask for dark circles and charge it to you :P SKII one.. don't play play!

But seriously, thanks for the late night soiree Jaskel - it was fun. :yamseng:

Next stop - choosing laminates :D

yes yes, it took us half the day with our ID to fully arrest and comprehend the electrical works for our house too!

esp when it came to the 2 way switches, i hardly can follow up and almost switched off. ha.

LED lights? i did not even breathe a word of it for fear the cost will just scare us away. ha! must be awesome when your lightings are done up then.

btw, for a moment i tot Darkfear & Marsbars is a d a m n cool atas lighting shop in some ulu area of singapore! hahaha. only to realise is our fellow forum mates.

to hear a contractor hanging out so late with a client to talk about renovation speaks volume! jaskel, you're really professional.

but 5.30am in the morning??! ! ! admit it jaskel, you're like what i see in tv those contractor contractor bring client to entertainment right. hahahahaha

really looking forward to yr reno with abated breadth!
