Hi hi, how did u manage to get HDB approval for condenser to be installed outside? I was told its not allowed. Thanks!

My aircon installer applied the permit. Saw in this forum that another EM unit also install the condenser outside.

And the gek-sim-ism

Air cons finally up

The thumbs up: compressor outside the unit; not in balcony.

Placed in at level 2, outside the new common bedroom.

Now my plants can survive e nights

The thumbs down : blower unit **** room blocking the down light

Sigh... I guess the installer simply dun care lo. Very fed up with them over installations & piping etc.

Called renovator to rectify

the frowns

We did not notice the patchy wall under the window panels

But I suspect they won't rectify since the grills will cover it.

Well we complained and saw see how

Is urs system 4?

Yes ; system 4. Mitsubishi

Aircon installers simply cmi .. Just wanna quickly do and vanish

Sigh

Mini updates

Grills and gate installed

silver wrought iron set

One round of acid wash revealing the true faces of the tiles

Dining room: wooden grains tiles.

Master toilet : floor tiles with a vinyl , laminated floor look

No budget to change to new staircase. So asked renovator to vanish to 2 diff shades of walnut. Remove the 80s look and effect was pretty good

Outstanding tasks

Polish marble floor

Install shower panels

Install glass panel with sliding door at the living room

Carpentry

I'm doubtful if they are completed by 25aug where we plan to move it.

Pmed you

Today carpentry guys are here.

I braved my heart to check ...

Wow..past 930pm and they r still working.

Only see mainly skeletons. But hubby alredi yak yak yak....

Low shoe cabinet. Like the wood grains BUT.. They be stripped out as the edges can't be smoothed out..

Full height book shelves

I'm kinda disappointed the laminate is much lighter tone

A few,misalignments of the shelves

And the backing took up 5 cm..so it's kinda narrow..

Hubby frowned !!!

Master bedroom wardrobe

Wardrobe sliding door. Like the combi

The skeletons

Gonna buy a white dressing table to be placed at the purple wall

A view from the sleeping area

Glad my sleeping area is still a gd 3.1 m wide. =)

And to the kitchen..nthg much to see as the top cabinet skeletons also not up

Kitchen island and tall cabinet as store room

The other side of the kitchen

Highly baffled why till now they still dun remove the previous chimney hood

Keep the stainless steel backing

My re vanished balcony door and polished marble flooring

A few sighs...and it's hard to manage the one sighing and grumbling beside me ...

Nice progress! Soon u would be able to move in to a beautifully transformed house. Cheers!

Tks. I'm looking forward. Reno is so mentally and emotionally torturing .

Hubby just blasted at renovator.

And I'm turning sleepless cos of the joints of the laminate of the shoe cabinet.

Cos of the rough texture, it won't be a smooth finish but I like this texture.

So cracking head big big whether to change the top to a smooth laminate.

I guess for most of us..it's gek sim over tiling and carpentry cos it's the big items we see .

U need to be mentally prepared for any changes in the course of the reno n also for surprises which can either make u smile or cause ur blood to boil. Whatever it is, still need to remain calm n patient to resolve unsettled issues. Hopefully it is a win-win situation.... Nobody loses.

If u read my reno blog, I too had many unpleasant n awkward experiences with my ID but eventually we managed to work out peacefully n professionally.

Hope everything will work out 'swee swee' for u!

And the snail progress

MBr wardrobe A facing toilet

Back of wardrobe A

View from toilet

MBR wardrobe B facing bedroom

A closer look at,wardrobe laminate. Love the feel of wood grains

Study room is up and ready ; din turn on flash on camera so shot is a little dark

And they will only be back on fri to do the kitchen. Sigh... Snail contd to crawl

We can plan a lot but sometimes, faced by limitations , we adapt

Similarities :99%

similarities: 1%

Really dunno wat happen. Renovator blah blah abt support , stability & abt Sliding door is a waste of $$$ and the design evolves into just a normal bookshelf.

I just hope my range of books will just dress up the shelves.

Jia you jia you
