battle 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2012 Ho ho ho ho... Another fruitful meet-up with an ID Contractor. (He's not really an ID person, but more of an experienced contractor who can understand what owner like me needs We had a real long chat. Suppose to meet at 7pm, but he's early, cause he need to have his dinner ; p So we meet at coffeeshop, officially start discussion time, mmmm say 7.15 pm ba.... than talk talk talk talk talk talk, 11.45pm I actually started with my finalized design, then he give me some advice (think only experience people like him will spot it). (base on my final lay-out, with 1 m space for a fridge, if eventually i switch to a 960mm fridge, I will never be able to pull out the veg tray cause if I flush my fridge with cabinet, the door will not be able to open 180 degree to fully enable the veg tray/drawer to be pull out) than I'll With his experience, and character (always "kenging" to resolve problem or better solution/layout), I benefited ; p Think we had the frequency, just before we ended our session, we kinda continue and chat, than one thing leads to another, all my 3 lay-out diagram. :bow: He also like the ultra long long work-top design and he took out his paper, pencil, calculator, draw, measure, calculate......Can be done within my budget. He can't see WHY NOT .... Sui... Double confirm, triple confirm... Mai tu liao, pull out 2 more piece of NEW CLEAN piece of floor plan (I dam KS one, once OTP, go online purchase floor plan liao, than print out 20 piece, 10 x A3, 10 x A4... : )Re-visited the floorplan, draw, where to put what... bingo....Now waiting for him to review his quotes and hope everything goes well ; )This should be the final lay-out liao. If got changes will only be the length of the work-top or table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

battle 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 Okie, here's the minor touch-up of the plan. Key changes : Remove the full height cabinet on the right side of the hood/hob area. (so that can put rice cooker)won't want to put on the counter top as it might be ugly. ; p The counter top also reduced from 3m to 2.4 meter.Dining table remains at 3m (so that at max, can seat up to 5 a side)I've added a square table. (will only be open if there is MJ session & only with my BLACK MJ tiles :sport-smiley-004: ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be the one buying all those gadget. ; pBut most of them will be in the cabinet until I need to use lor.Like there is a period of time I crazy about cooking ( after watching all e cook network shows. Lol ). Tt time every sat will cook something for my kids. I even make the traditional "or nee". Then after that period, switch to swimming, than to jogging, than rock climbing, than now cycling. ; pSo things keep changing, now about to go back cooking again. Lol As for power point, no worries, I will have plenty. And Also lighting point. ; ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cause thinking if put rice cooker there, it will be there all the way Liao with the wiring, cause every day 2 meal mar, so by 10+ my MIL will start cooking for their lunch at 11+. Ay, maybe by then go buy a nice looking one hor. Lol.Btw, Andrew ok with you using other electrician ar? When I was asking him, he was not in favor of me using my own supplier ley. For my granite, I think will be using his although a little more $xx, cause he will have total control over it lor. Cause now I think think, some of the pieces of granite will need to be polish on multiple face, and Also I will want minimum number of piece to form the long table. Scared if I go to others, they will break up into 3 or 4 pieces, like tt will have many many join lines Liao. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His recommended electrician is zenterra which I think quite famous here too. But he is ok if u outsource, just that it's easier for him to coordinate. But if have enough profit margin from yr Reno, then no reason he won't let you go outside. Only if u squeeze him till small margin then he need to earn from other place loh. I think that's his mentality lah... Most contractors need to earn money mah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now a days many claims that their carpenter's skill is so good & so good etc, but than when you try to open their long/wide drawer, not steady one (something like when you pull from extreme left of the drawer, it will kind of get twisted like that.) So far I have only seen 1 that super solid, when you pull from 1 corner of the wide drawer, it comes out really smoothly, and ultra rigid. (tt's from Interior Affairs) I read about all the review from your T-blog and those photos, that's why I buay paisay request for a house visit so that I have witness it as well too ; p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
