S&s Self-Designed Home In The East

Recommended Posts

I can't believe you DIY automated roller blind. That saves you a lot of money than to engage outside people to do automated blinds for you. Impressive! Does your profession involve a lot of hands-on work?

irritated with the outrageous quotations la. if not i will also just pay for it. the sourcing took up a lot of time. i think with the other study room blinds, total cost will be 4k. somemore with my own programmed remote control, i can one click make both blinds go up or group them into grp 1 and grp 2.

thanks for your appreciative comments.

as for profession, highlight the line below. :horse:

hmmm... if your child is in a secondary sch in the east, i might be teaching him/her

I bought 1 for my foyer. Haha no intention to hang any pendant light for the dining table. Cos i tend to move furniture around. Don't want to restrict that area to be a dining area forever.

Then for sure that shop that you bought is the cheapest already. Alright, i shall visit it one day. Hopefully they are still selling at the same price.

thats a good idea.... gives u flexibility. but double make sure k ? because your dining area wont be a highlighted area.

Yes I agree. The price to do automated blinds can be really very expensive. You are really good in that.

If I have a child that big already, I would be an underage mother at that time when the child was born. Hahaha...

:jawdrop: You mean $4k DIY or $4K if let professional do it?

thanks bro! i think got ppl do it before but never post it online.

the chalkboard paint u can buy it from art friend. i asked the staff there before. i know for my wall, i needed to buy 10 of their small cans. if u ask them, they will help u calculate. so u have to calculate your door/wall surface area first before going down. i didnt get it from art friend. i got it from my contractor. it was included in my reno quotation.

we changed our main door grill and repainted the door white.

just wanted a black and simple black grill.

for the lock, i had to give in to my wife's request. she didnt want any of those finger print system because it attracts attention. (still like the looks of those finger print locks :o )

however, we threw away the standard lock and use Mul-T-Lock.

below is a description of their product.

"Mul-T-Lock®’s High Security cylinders have a special telescopic pin tumbler mechanism with internal and external pins. Both the internal and the external shear lines must be aligned simultaneously in order for the plug to rotate..

The patented Mul-T-Lock plug has a special structure. When the top and bottom pins, plug and body meet, a three-dimensional shear line is formed, creating an almost perfect spherical shape. Steel inserts enhance anti-drilling resistance.

These features provide an added security dimension, amplifying the Mul-T-Lock cylinder’s pick-and-drill resistance for High Security needs. When master keyed, additional side pins or back pins can be incorporated. "

the pins in the grooves will be pushed up and down when u are turning the key in the lock.

our home is child-unfriendly. that big black wall is the chalkboard wall. AHHH one minor mistake i made...should have hired J&J glass construction to do my glass. Cheaper if i go direct than to go through my contractor.
