The only tiling done at my place is the balcony floor. We din choose the design and size of the tiles. My 1st reaction is "why??? ..." Hope after removing the floor protection from my original marble floor, the difference between the balcony and living room is minimal. But I doubt so. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Battle, I have to look out for your reno progress to estimate when the tilers will come over. The sand and tiles have been waiting here for a week liao. According to Andrew's schedule for us, our tiling works will stretch to June 16.

Wah.. Stress ar !!!

Basically they are targeting to complete all tiling & cement work by either Monday ba. Cause the tiler told Andrew he will hand over by Tuesday. Basic laying is fast, but the cutting & touching up really more time consuming. Very challenging. Got to kio line by line. Bit by bit.

why you didn't choose the tiles? then who choose?

We let Andrew chose the tiles for the balcony because we want the tiles to be as close to our marble slates as possible. However, if a marble effect tile does not look right, then he can go ahead and choose any tiles that can match. He did mention that the tiles will be squarish, white with grey strips. We din expect it to be very big square and rather uniform strips.

But since it will be a small exposed area after all the carpentry are in, I hope the difference is minimal. Our marble slates are long and rectangular while the homogeneous tiles are large square ones.

ya, my neighbour also indian and my neighbour downstairs also indian. The food they cooked smell so good that i wish i can go and join them too. hahaahhaha...

U should make the 1st move by invitin them to eat cakes at your island....then they will ask u join them eat nice food

I got 1 fren complein his neighbour make curry puffs every morning early early to sell....smell is 1 thing but my fren have to remember to close all his windows.if not his house tile more or less becomes oily.

Here's a pix of the almost completed MBR Bathroom.

Almost completed because they have not complete filling up the gaps between tiles. Only partially done.

And paisay paisay, just checked my SD card, found that I have not taken pix of floor tiles. Will take some pix tonight ; )

The protruding short wall is for conceal mixer piping?

Finally I see some photos. It's hard to visualise how it looks like when you narrate on your posts. Hehe..

Nop, that wall is original HDB one. After hacking away the tiles, found that its hard concrete block, so can't flatten it. Both bathroom also have this, don't know why !?

I really can't see & imagine why they need this protruding short wall. Both bathroom also have :bangwall:

Don't know good or bad, at least now I can make use of it to put shampoo etc. :sport-smiley-018:

Might be the whole idea after all, to put your soap and stuff..

DAY 21 - 23, 8th Fri - 11th Mon

Sad, by the time I visit the house again, they have already covered the floor with paper for protection for future work. So nothing to be seen.
