paladin126 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2012 Looks like I'm not the only one, and I'm not very comfortable with them sawing my door! They sawed both your doors and did not "seal" the exposed parts up? Gosh... If it's me, I might try using colorless nail polish to protect it hahaha how much did your ID charge you for sawing the door? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aurelia 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Forgive me for the lack of updates! Was away in Japan admiring the sakura blossoms.. @paladin126: My ID charged me $80. Is that expensive?@HelenYeo: Renovation has been slightly faster than orginally scheduled by William. Our renovation costs a bomb only because there's lots of modifications to the house like toilet tiles overlaying, and wall hacking for multiple rooms. The display cabinets in the living room weren't cheap too, but we prefer engaging carpentry than buying ready made shelves from furniture shops. Oh well.If you're doing only simple renovation, you should be fine. Edited April 18, 2012 by Aurelia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurelia 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2012 Renovation Week 5: Painted, Tiles Done, Lights Up!Didn't realise the main door was sawed at all until tiling was completed. I guess that's a good job done? (Ignorance is bliss) Hahaha Took these after dusk while testing the new lights, our house is starting to take shape! Slight issue with one bathroom light malfunctioning, and the warm white downlights in the hallway not matching with the house's cool white lights. Gotta get 'em rectified by next week!

HelenYeo 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2012 Ur living room looks spacious now are u using homogeneous tiles for ur living & all bedrooms? I think you house is going to look very nice Wonder if their workmanship is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurelia 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) @binchotan: Welcome to Casa Clementi! Which block will you be staying at? Gathering sounds fun! LOL@kunzzy: There's only 2 downlights using warm white lightbulbs, so changing *should* not be an issue. @HelenYeo: It's indeed much more spacious now with the Kitchen and Bedroom 3 walls gone! Can't wait for carpentry to be done within the next 2 weeks! So far so good with the worksmanship as I'm not really picky with the minor details. Perhaps you can request for a quotation and worksmanship viewing first? That's what I did too. Yes it's homogenous tiles throughout the living and bedrooms. Initially wanted white colored tiles but they're so expensive (like 8 dollars and beyond at Hafary)! Can't figure out why... Maybe they're harder to manufacture? This was the "lightest" color we could find and still within budget. Edited April 18, 2012 by Aurelia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kunzzy 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2012 Hi Aurelia, if you have time, can take a picture of your living room with just the downlights on and another one with the covelights on at night? my living room is about the same size as yours but I am deciding whether to install a downlight as I currently I already have a covelight but I find that living room is still quite dark.
