I like your kitchen concept! ;)

Thanks, add a few fine-touch during the phase 2 to add more practical.

1. Install a tempered glass (8mm) size about 90cm by 60cm on the solid top surface that is the right of the hob to prevent any scratches on the solid top surface.

2. Install a black color back splash at the sink area.

3. Install the stainless plate (10cm height) at the bottom of the sliding door so that the door will not be stained when mopping the floor.

I think the tiler used chemical cements for the kitchen, the tiles thickness selected should not be too thick. Another thing is to use a slightly thick laminate flooring (some is 8mm, some is 9mm or 10mm). Lastly, if there is a slighhtly difference, the laminate floor installer will try to add some support (some form of plastic sheet) below the laminate floor to slope up the joint area to have a flat joint. Talk to both the tilers and the laminate floor guys, they can advise you.

THANKS VERY MUCH YEO99 !! WE'LL ASK FLOOR OPTIONS.

We have engaged Twin Aircon Engineering Services to do the re-run of aircon trunking.

Twin Aircon Engineering Services

Tel : 62600715 or 84840325 (Alex)

Total demages: $600+ included the servicing of 3 fancoils units.

They used the new gas pipe and water pipe.

Overall after the installation and services, there is no problem. Quite satisfied with their job.

They also sell and install air-con, you can ask them for quotation too for new air-con.

Do you have picture on how the aircon piping was done? The piping is laid near to the floor or the ceiling?

The trucking run mostly near the floor, only need to go up near the fancoil units in the bedrooms and when the trunking runs above the common bedroom door for the living room aircon.

See post #109 -common bedroom and living room trunking.

See post #105 - master bedroom (you can see the trunking running near the floor) and I also do a box up near the compressor area below the window.

Hello Yeo99,

May I know where did you or your contractor source your bedroom and Main doors from ? I have been trying to get some quotations from **** but they were not cheap.

I got my bedroom doors from the contractor Rick, I paid $280 per door. I actually I did not get the contract of the company. I only have the company that did my kitchen sliding door, but I am not getting from them.

Actually I am thinking of getting the main door from Yontat. I will see the reviews from some of the forumers here. If you are getting from ****, please review it. Thanks.

Curtain Rail:

img2844b.jpg

I brought the normal sliding curtain rails for my curtain from the neighborhood hardware shop. I brought three rails for living room and two bedrooms. All total costs less than $28 for Al rails and Al holder. My contractor agreed to mount it for me. Truly value for money. Will get the curtain later.

love the low-sheen wenge color of your doors cos they are the same as mine!! :D :D :D

but the door lockset which is the same as mine is a little flimsy, if u turn down the lever to open the door and release it with control, the handle doesn't go back to 3 or 9 o'clock position right? i tried using wd40 which helps a little, but still not so good...

Thanks, I tested this evening and found that the door lockset does not have the problem you mentioned. I does not Know the brand of the lockset, it maybe difference from yours. My keys have a label on it say "nelon", not sure that is the brand of the lockset.
