Good service & price from Catalina Lighting (thanks to Bleucheeze for another great recommendation! GU10 stuff in S'pore is SO hard to find)

Today will do another round of online purchases on TB (telephone) and Amazon (kitchen stuff). Online shopping is so FUN

@swaskie we are only left with these to buy: kitchen track lights, Ikea Billy cupboard, Expedit shelf, handles for all cupboards, telephone, ladle, wine opener, pepper/salt/spice jars containers, butter knife (some will be from Amazon), 早安君子hand towels, rugs, mop, ladder, Philips Airfryer.

Haha that's probably all! Even cleaning detergents - my colleague sponsored a set of Amway ones already!

Airfryer is gd.. Currently courts selling at 279 but i dun remember seeing somewhere selling 250 plus... Not sure if gmarket or perhaps u can drop by the hourly deal by courts maybe cheaper

[Makanology 29]

Can't wait to see ur retrolicious home!

Our renovation progress is soooo slow! Alan has many projects at hand and we have to wait for our turn for the tiling team to do our place.

Finally tiling work started 4 days ago and we have been going down almost everyday. Why? Tiler discovered a leak at our master bathroom. When it rains, the rain water will seep through the wall! So today finally HDB sent their contractor to fix the leak - no idea who is footing the bill but we reckon maintenance should be under our town council?

Our TB stuff finally arrived and here are the baba tiles that we ordered:

This will be used on our old school bathrooms:

On hind sight, people are now using bigger wall tiles to have lesser grout lines and hence easier cleaning yet I went the other way... Mr E just laughed at my choice & said 'happy cleaning!'

leaking from outside, i tink is hdb's prob.....town council is ur S&C and other facilities maintenance only.

this is something i dam unhappy about.....

when got prob, dunno exactly who to look for, then have to play the taiji game between hdb and town council

on the other hand, the tiles nice wor! very hard to find in SG ar?

Tiler Ah Meng is a nice guy with great skills. After watching him & his team work the last few days, we realized the tiles we have selected require more work than the usual tiles. Yet Ah Meng never complained once and always highlights possible problems due to our various tile designs & dimensions. Best part, he will also have 1-2 solutions for us to choose.

On top of this, we like their workmanship and so we decide not to rush them. In any case, Alan miscalculated and ordered insufficient wall tiles...

Ah Meng's suggestion of a more complete look by using the same kitchen wall tile for common bathroom entrance. And he even suggested using wood color for the grout lines = Nice!
