hi, a question, do you guys know that some rainshowers are the concealed type.. meaning there isnt a phsyical rod connecting the rainshower tap to the rainshower head. Can that be installed in our HDB toilets?

Hi nashville, I was considering those since it will look cleaner, though maintenance will be troublesome

I assume you will need to mount rainshower head on false ceiling

And also require quite a bit of concealed piping. Not sure if HDB allows to hack the walls of toilets?

PS thanks for the compliments! I will PM you my contractor details

Greg...need your expert help...i am shopping ard taobao for a industrial looking desk for the study...can you share what key words i should be using?

Hey Vanessa,

Keywords would be

"loft" or "工业"

"书桌" for study desk. You may wish to just use 桌 to capture more hits

If you want more vintage-y or distressed types, can add in "复古"

I noticed that the tb seller on your link has 3 diamonds only. Might be worth finding one with at least 4 diamonds (5 preferrably or 1 crown)

Your welcome! Hope I don't sound too naggy. Lol

Oh yeah furniture on taobao takes about 10-15 days to reach china warehouse. I just learnt this. Expect to wait about a month minimum before it reaches sg.

not at all! Most helpful...i have run into a hiccup...think it is dangerous to get these metal legs...installation will be a pain!

Vanity and kitchen counter tops are installed! Really quite in love with the look. No regrets with this choice.

Laminate issues which I am very uncertain on how to rectify.

The gap where the underlying plywood is visible just above the sink. Worried water enters and will cause problems

They used a black permanent marker on the laminate to hide the visible plywood underneath. Is this normal?

Any insights/inputs from renotalkers are appreciated!

My doors are up! Contractor just sent pics and I'm pretty pleased with the look

Doors from kitchen to yard

Doors between MBR and living area

Close sesame!

Nice. Are these bi-folds and tri-folds doors ? wanted something similar for yard-kitchen and kitchen-living room. Can share the shop that sells this ?

thanks

Thanks Alfredt!

These are folding doors with three panels. Aluminium, powder coated black.

Problem with three panels is that it might be unstable/flimsy so needed top track in addition to bottom track.

Naturally, there's an additional cost for that.

I went with my contractor's contact so he can organize everything for me and make a small profit.

I don't have that contact but there is a business advertiser here which gave me a very similar quote.

hey macuser, I realised I missed ur post

actually I really wanted wanted for the track to be mounted on the ceiling so there will be a long glass panel above the folding door

unfortunately I needed to hide some electrical points which I no longer needed and the most convenient way was a false beam.

to be honest, it'll be a lot nicer if there wasn't a false beam. I have some decor related ideas for the false beam though!

every compromise I make, I try to use it as an opportunity to use decor and work around it heh

Hi greg,

Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question, but I was just wondering why didn't you request for the track to be mounted on the ceiling ?

The door doesn't seem long, so I think it'll be stable. Ours is quite long, and it's very stable.

bad worksmanship. you should withhold future payments until this is fixed.
