Sorry I'm a total noob on this. ABS plastic blade durable? I bought KDK R56SV and baby fan which is PPG material. No idea what's the main pros/con between them. I just looked at price. But if I had excess $$ to spare, I wouldnt think twice about getting Aeratron. Heeeheeheee......

Updates!

ID arranged to hack the kitchen wall on 18th Feb only to be chased away by HDB's contractor at 11am. Nevermind, I dropped by that night to see but nothing was done at all. WTH HDB??? I informed my ID, so he said he would ask his hacker to go earlier to hack the wall on 19th Feb. Hacking of kitchen's half wall completed in a day :good: ... I dropped by that evening to spot check - hacking was completed and debris all removed, no mess at all BUT cement screeding not even started! :curse: Again, WTH HDB? What kind of contractor did you hire? So irresponsible and unreliable. We are coming to the end of 5th week since I submitted the request...... Argggghhhhhhhhhh! They were supposed to start work on 13th Feb and handover on 21st Feb.

Sorry, please pardon my ranting... I could see how bad my ID felt, he was apologising to us for the delay - which was totally not his fault. We knew he arranged everything in tight schedule for us. Whatever he promised he delivered on time so far. Electrical wiring & SY window installation will be this Saturday :sport-smiley-004: Flooring will be next week once HDB completes the work. Understand that he is also getting our kitchen and bathroom carpentry fabricated too :D

In the meanwhile, ID was scratching his head when we told him our dining table is 1.68m long. Our area is 2.9m but considering the chairs & legspace.... it will be cramped. So, we went back to St@r living and see .....

Dining table - Changed to this, same colour combi and cheaper + shorter @ 1.5m

Our chairs with armrests cannot fit into the new table so we replaced with these chairs - 2 of them

Purchases from Taobao

Wonder how the rest of the RTers managed Amcon? I sent an email asking if they would update me on the progress, they replied me "Ordering". One word! Wow, so much for customer service. I went on individual TB site to check on the purchases records - they ordered on 11th Feb, I guess all items should be received by next week? So much guessing :( don't wish to use them anymore.

Budget Furniture list continues...

Ikea is having sale - hooray!!!:D:sport-smiley-004::dribble:

Thinking of this bed....OMG only $69 with slatted bed base! It's solid pine.

fjellse-bed-frame__0186606_PE338792_S4.J

or this @ $199 with slatted bed base (most probably this one since the flooring will be wood colour)

brusali-bed-frame__0173727_PE328183_S4.J

Maybe this beside our grey sofa - $399 (same black pencil legs)

strandmon-wing-chair__0213908_PE369552_S

Love this from Qoo10 ($99) but the Korean seller's review are mostly bad and natural wood colour OOS so dropped :(

Nice table design.

But me being a careless person and afraid the drinks may spill or slide off the edge

Haha! I tot of that too but I love the curves and it's kinda baby safe.

heya, whats the dimensions of that chair ar? the max that can fit into the table is simi? thanks many many !!

Which chair and which table ah? I didnt measure the dimensions, was at the showroom and pushing in chairs to fit in the new table. Haha. So sad the armrest ones too big. Even the bench cannot be hidden now. But long table must go! Edited by SuperMama

Electrical wiring was done today as well, can't wait for my TB track-lights to be installed once they arrive in 1.5wks' time. :dancingqueen: Yes, I am using only track-lights for living and master bedroom :P No downlights!

Next week (end Feb):

1. Cement Screed by HDB contractor - Complete by Tuesday

2. Kitchen Base + Carpentry (TBC)

3. Laminate Flooring for whole house

4. Painting by another contractor (waiting for quotation)

5. - Air-con installation (We will only switch on 1 AC at most hence we bought budget Midea Inverter Sys 3 - using Toshiba technology only $2399)

Once laminate flooring is done, delivery of the following can proceed - target by 1st wk March

- All purchases from Hoe Kee (Roz sink, basins, facets, bathroom accessories)

- Taiyo Hob + Tecno hood, Delonghi oven + Panasonic microwave

- Ceiling Fans (KDK R56SV for living+ R48SP for Master bedroom)

- Wall Fan (KDK M40MS for dining)

- Multi-point Instant water heater (Europace)

- Installation of all lighting (from TB & Philips)

- Wall mounting of Sharp TV and Philips sound bar

- Samsung Refrigerator

- Electrolux Washer+dryer

(Sorry, a bit lazy to list down the model no.)

Most probably pop by Ikea next week end to buy the bed, bedside tables, armchair, bench with shoe rack, some toy storage for my baby, etc. EXCITED!!!:sport-smiley-004: :sport-smiley-004: :sport-smiley-004:
