ohh.. plants up there will be nice!

Erm, remember to secure them though. with some wires to ensure wont topple.

and yes, waiting to see your island then see whose one is bigger.

ahhh thanks for reminding me..I try to find some plants from ikea

hahahaha..mine is only 5ft! urs, I guess is the longest rite..

oh... i thought yours will be longer since you have such a big kitchen. Maybe Ely will be longest then?

hahaha..Bro Kobelala..FYI.. woman are like that..

I don't think it is expensive, if I can remember, my contractor quote me less than $500 that exclude the lightings.

If u intend to do, its best to decide now before they start doing the false ceiling. And if you need me to draw for u how it looks like from cutting angle just let me know..I'm will be glad to help

Sis, thanks alot, no need to draw cos meeting contractor on friday to tell him

Quick Update - Reno Day 34

Yesterday was a hactic day for us.. We arrived at 9.00am and went off at 9.00pm..12hrs!

Things that settle yesterday

Laminate from Kronotek, but probably will have to call them again and redo the skirting for the walkway.. I hate the look

Kitchen Cabinet almost done, before we went off..they have installed the exhaust hood.

Aircon compressor and FCU installed and settled

Curtains for bedroom 2 and Blinds for the rest selected

Deliveries :

From Bosch - Washer & Dryer

From Pagoda Teak - Bed frame, 6pcs Rardrobe, Vanity & Mirror Cabinet (MBR & Master Bath)

- 4 pcs Wardrobe, Vanity & Mirror Cabinet (Bedroom 2 & Common Toilet)

It took the Pagoda guy 5hrs to carry from downstairs to our hse, to MBR & Bedroom 2, & also to install..WHY?

Because all my furniture is bloody heavy! all furniture are made off Teak Wood..custom made from Indonesia. Seriously, we didn't expect it to be this heavy..pity those guys, they have the difficulty to carry to our bedrooms..even their Big Boss came over to give a helping hand. Kudos to all involved..as a token from us..heee we give them a bit of ang pow and can drinks.. As for now, I'm having a big big problem with my vanity... How to installed them? I need a very good support to withstand the weight.. for a vanity with a size of 500cm(L) x 400cm(W) x 500cm(H) weight abt 20~25kg.. Can someone suggest to me, what should I do?

oh... i thought yours will be longer since you have such a big kitchen. Maybe Ely will be longest then?

Yours is definitely the longest! Mine is only 6ft, and it's narrow - since wedged between wet kitchen and weird beam. Would have hacked that partition but don't know what to do with such a big kitchen either, so decided to keep it as a yard/laundry and wet kitchen. From my pics, you can tell mine is much smaller than yours - yours can fit a dining table and prep area! Mine only holds cabinets and the wine chiller.

P.S. Very, very nice progress Lady R! Seems like we may be moving in around the same time? Can't do anything about the plumber since it's the granite tops and carpentry that are causing the delay. Without the tops, cannot install the sinks and taps, and didn't want to do WCs first as the workers might use it. I tried to Deh the granite top guy but it didn't work!! I seriously need that course. I Deh-ed for like 5 minutes and my homely charms had no effect :/

LOL, reminded me of my Delivery Day, also 12hrs! Super tired at the end of it. Still need to move the furniture around when they're doing the parquet re-varnishing and cleaning etc. Sigh.

Perhaps you can hook the vanity to the wall, like some people do to their bedheads and shoe cabinets? Your carpenter should be able to do for you. For me, it's the plumber who would be helping with all the misc. work, like drilling all the holes for my paintings etc so he even aligns all my art nicely, and all my cabinet hardware (pull knobs, handles etc). The carpenter will help with Ikea shelves I want put up - he'll just slot them in and even saw off excess length.

Yes, we intend to hook to the wall..but my main concern is, can the hook withstand the weight? I did try to carry the small cabinet..and it is sooo heavy..even my contractor is complaining

Heavy means real solid wood. Can last forever! my old king bedframe(now in guest room) also like that.

Keep on posting pics!
