At closer look, workmanship for sliding door doesn't look good.

A responsible cabinet contractor to redo the door thickness. But can't he also do the same for the al door which is giving you problem?

Overall, nice and clean feel.

The sliding door problem is a very bad experience for me and my wife, the price is much higher than the sliding glass door and yet the quality is a very bad (hollow door, poor finishing, poor installations, etc).

It is up to the main contractor and the sub-contractors, I have push him for the rectification of Al door before. After some uses, it goes back to the original position; You are right, the best is to change the one piece Al door to ensure smooth closing.

Overall Al works and doors works from B*** I***** have bad workmanship.

Last weekend, too busy re-organising the store room. I brought the Gorm system from Ikea. I added the height extension post so as to reach a height of 233cm.

Not bad, can put alot of things inside the store room now.

Looks good. How much is the gorm system from Ikea? You assemble of they do for you?

Tks.

It is cheaper to buy a set (GORM - shelving unit). Then added the extension to it.

See below:

It is asembled by my wife and me, not that difficult but need two people.

Mitsubishi Electric System 3 inverter Aircon:

mxy4.jpg

mxy1.jpg

The System 3 consists of MMXY-3A28VA (QTY=1) , MSY-GA10VA (QTY:2 ) and MSY-GA13VA (QTY:1 )

The MSY-GA10VA fancoils are for the two bedroom and MSY-GA13VA fancoil is for the living room. The MSY-GA13VA is 1.5hp as compared with MSY-GA10VA is 1hp.

I brought the system 3 two years ago with the price less than $3000 (should be) with installation and it also comes with Stainless Steel Bracket and Power Point. It is from Tai Wah Aircon (authorised dealer for Mitsubishi Electric Aircon). Call them for a quotation, and their price is very resonable and their service is friendly.

Re-runing of Aircon trunking:

Unfortunately, during the first installation, I forgot to consider the trunking routing, as a result it is very ugly. I need to re-run the aircon trunking, still talking to and getting some qoutations from the aircon contractors before making a decision.

Old layout:

New layout (wanted):

Lessons learnt: Painful and costly

Thanks eiffel76, the phase 2 renovation has already started on 18 Oct. The place now is very messy and stressful to live as I am staying in, same as fuji_apple74 T-blog says initally very excited after a while , it becomes very tired. I totally can understand fuji_apple74, I also wish it could finish ASAP ...

Some quotations are cheap because they reuse the existing gas pipe and water pipe. I am not sure in long run, will it create a problem? ..

Lesson learnt : Ask whether they reuse the existing gas pipe and water pipe. What is the material used?
