Hi Harriette,

I am currently living in an EM and planning to re-do the interior. I am wondering if you could PM me Mr. Yeak's number?

Thanks!

    Our funny bedroom ceilings In all 3 upstairs bedrooms, we have a square hole which contains a sarong cradle hook. We realised that it is less nice to have the square hole. However, we feel that a saro

  • Hi guojiawen, That sounds good. The solid surface shelf should be more durable than buying stainless steel fittings which might rust. And probably cheaper.

absolutely gorgeously done! The TV console is built and not store bought right? I love your color scheme and everything just gels very well, highly inspired :good:

Hi Tarzanboy,

my toilet tiles are ceramic tiles from Hafary. Code is YC63375. $2.60 psf. These tiles are very smooth so they are easy to clean and maintain.

Mr Yeak's brother is my carpenter. Mr Yeak and his brother have a carpentry workshop in Malaysia. They fabricate all the carpentry pieces there, and then transported into Singapore.

Jay designed the house. Mr Yeak implemented the design. Jay doesn't really supervise Mr Yeak. Rather, they worked together.

Hi Shirley and Doris,

I have PM-ed you. All the best in your reno.

Tefal Actifry We have used the Tefal Actifry to cook curry chicken, fried bee hoon and fried prawns. Very convenient. This machine is able to contain the smoke, oil and fumes well. A kitchen hood is not necessary.

We opted for a sink that is integrated with the solid surface, so that there is no joint.

How nice! Are these still working well for you, Harriette? I would be grateful if you could share your thoughts on the Actifry, and the sink.

Thank you.

[*]17 Apr 14 (we moved in): we detected leakage in the kitchen sink bottle traps in the morning. The plumber came to fix it in the afternoon.

[*]18 Apr 14 night: leakage was detected in the same place.

[*]19 Apr 14: The plumber came to fix it. Hopefully it is really fixed.

Hi Shirley and Doris,

I have PM-ed you. All the best in your reno.

Hi Harriette,

Please PM me Jay and Mr Yeak contact details. Thanks

Hi JohnB,

these are working very well. I really like the integrated sink as there is no joint with the solid surface and hence no bacteria will be trap there. For typical sinks, silicon will be applied along the joints to prevent water seepage. However, the silicon may be worn out in time, Dirt gets trapped there easily too. Unfortunately, Ikea only carries white sinks for such integrated types. There are some slight yellow stains on mine already. If you are buying such sink from other sources, you can consider other colours for the sink. I did asked Ikea's supplier to quote me for a sink made of the same solid surface that I chose. However, it was too expensive.

Actifry is really useful. It produced really yummy and crispy fried drumsticks. I only had to marinate the drumsticks with salt and pepper for 5min, place them into the Actifry and the machine will fry on its own for 25min. There isn't much exhaust. However, the floor do get slightly oily. It is good to do a quick mop after frying.

How nice! Are these still working well for you, Harriette? I would be grateful if you could share your thoughts on the Actifry, and the sink.

Thank you.
