Why did you have to relocate the TP again? Was it really out of place?

For my house, I am planning on just laying cat5e cable which doesn't depend on Opennet to wherever I want (including to bedrooms), with one end next to the existing TP.

No. It's because the wall it was stuck to originally had to be torn down as I changed the layout of my home.

I don't want to lay any cat5e cables as my 3 room flat is a small place, really unnecessary. I only need the TP near my TV, which is a smart tv, and everything else is wireless. Also using the free fixed line that came with the telco package, so attaching a phone to the RG. which will all be at the tv console, hidden or otherwise. So everything in one convenient place would be more practical.

DAY 27

Went up to my flat yesterday evening (Sat) and was pleasantly surprised the flooring had been completed and looked good... well, at least good enough for me.

The extended living room area into the dining area and kitchen.

Viewed from the kitchen.

Platform for my TV area. Very nice look and feel to it. Better than I expected. Reminds me of a dance studio floor.

Another view of the TV area.

Can you tell which is tile and which is laminate?

Coming up tomorrow (yes, Sunday! ), painting. Once that is done, the carpentry, glass works and other stuff can all come in. Crossing fingers.

Well done! VERY nice!!!!

Yo, Dreaming and Potatoes! Now that it is done, I dare to confirm it CAN be done. Swee swee. Upside down also not scared.

Amazing! My ID never told me this is possible....

wow bro! great progress on your flat! i see you did alot of box-ups to hide all the pipes, did you also boxed up the aircon trunkings?

im also having issues with opennet as well, paying is one thing. but i doubt i'll be able to hide the trunking due to the appt only later in dec as they aren't not able to come down in time before my carpenters put up the wall features and false wall to hide all this and the TP.

thanks! yup... a lot of boxing up. aircon trunkings also boxed up, as I have a fake wall that runs along the entire house. i got the air-con guys to run the trunking separately for all 3 units so that the individual trunkings are smaller sized.

how come you have to wait so long for opennet? I thought when you sign on with telco, will get appt within 3 weeks. the opennet guy who did my place was very experienced, and service oriented. he said if need be, get someone to lay a conduit in the light boxes or places you wanna hide the fibre cable, with a pull through rope inside). not the trunking for the electric cables type (those sure get stuck), but a conduit like the aircon water drainage pipe (the round smooth type). with a round conduit, the opennet guys can pull the fibre cables through very easily. not like mine, stuck left, right and centre and need to cut holes. don't let opennet ruin your beautiful reno.

actually they also told me the same thing, but when i checked with my ID, he says its going to be very tough to route the fiber cables if using those electrical trunkings, dun wish for them to cut hole here and there on my extended false wall either. however it dint cross my mind to use those drainage pipings, maybe might still be possible. will check with him and see if it can still be done? if not, will just have to settle for exposed trunking. i dint sign up with any telco coze i had the impression that they would ask me to get opennet to do the TP first then can i get them to come to do up the rest so i liased directly with opennet instead. maybe i go sign up with one and see if the appt can be brought forward? you went with which telco?

Decided to go for the Legrand (Mallia) light and power switches. Lots of colours and gang combinations, but most likely will go with the silver.

2-gang light switch and water heater switch.

Cable TV socket and double power socket.

It is now very common to get these big switches. They come in many brands like Clipsal, MK. I got mine from T&J from a shop in Balestier ...... I think they are less expensive.

I had wanted to buy it myself. Saw it in one of the smaller light shops diagonally opposite the lightings.com.sg showroom at Jln Besar. Checked with my ID, and he told me the electrician can provide at additional $60 to change all the switches and plugs to Legrand. But thing is, they come with a face plate and rocker only (made for pte property where wires are hidden). So if you wanna use them, and are not concealing your electric wires, you will have to buy a matching base by another brand, which uglifies everything. PM me your email address, I send you the catalogue.. super huge file.

DAY 30

Visited my flat first thing in the morning before I went to work. The glassworks are been done. All the carpentry stuff have been moved into the flat. I understand the guys have done one day of woodwork. The place is a war zone once again, with saw dust all over the place.

Full height glass panels separating the dining area from the kitchen.

More glass. This time, it's the door to the bathroom/WC.

Looking into the kitchen. Can't wait for all this woodwork to end. Such an eyesore.. and messy messy messy.

Suspended kitchen cabinets.

Wash basin with suspended storage cabinet on the left.

Full height wall cabinets in the living room.

Full height vanity cabinet in the bedroom.
