looks like everyone likes the glass door! It really looks much better..but living in HDB no choice, cannot have that. ;(

if there is a gate, can lah.... thief need to open the lock on the gate before can knock the glass door. and glass door when knock, the sound can be quite loud..... also depends on whether you have good neighbours or not.

my neighbour is an aunty, at home 90% of the time and when she hears some noises, she will open the door to check. so i am not worried

Hopefully my neighbours are good too...So far met 1 only. Received some bad news today. ID told me my common room cannot have sliding cabinet due to the space. Haiz. Any expert around got this kind of measurement of my common room? He says not enough space to hang etc etc due to the designs for the interior.

Day 10 & 11 updates,

Progress very slow, Only see 1 or 2 worker everyday. Alot of things still not done...

total rush with a dateline due to rental issues, cos as of now i'm renting a place and its very very expensive. So i dont wish to top up another half more month of rental cos it will be a waste.

Hi Brothers & Sisters,

Would like to ask if any of you use track lights for kitchen. Friend of mine had given me some track lights which is LED. ID told me that track lights wouldn't be bright cos my kitchen theme is black n white. From my understanding based on the information given here, LED focus on 1 point only. So if I wish to make it a little brighter, Do I really have to go for normal lighting only?

Thanks to anyone whom can answer me question.

Hi Rondy, Thanks for popping by. Everything adds up $37,850 excluding furniture, audio/video, lightings & toilet stuffs. Dang...My budget initially for reno was 30k only but than....Sigh!!!

Is it because you do alot of carpentry work like wardrobe, tv feature wall, tv console, shoe cabinet that's why escalate to $37k

Yes track light is not bright enough. Good to highlight decor or walls for mood lighting but definitely too dark for cooking.

Thanks alot for the info, Been thinking alot for the past few days. Decided to switch back to regular lights instead. A waste since can't use the track lights.

You can use them in the bedroom or living room if you have some pics or shelves that you want to highlight.
