Self Designed House.. Project 2014

Recommended Posts

Wah thats like having Optimus Prime in your living room. haha. Looks **** powerful! :thumbs up:

I opted for the one a grade below what you bought and I signed up with MyRepublic too but so far the service has been a bit bleah. How's your experience?

I think I opt the same as you.

Got to agree their service is a bit bad as there always seem to have some miscommunication on appointments.

Do U have an opennet point? My republic not offering free opennet installation in their new promo... If u need free installation, have to look for m1 or Singtel already.

TV console blues... :help: i need to think of a design for my contractor by this weekend... still thinking if i shd do a suspended tv console or a free standing one...

i love the grafunkt line series console.. but not going to pay $3k for that... crazy price to pay for a tv console... so maybe i shd make one.. that looks like that.. but contractor said it is going to be expensive as they are going to paint over with wood finishing....sigh...

Free standing ones

- more scandi looking

- more storage space,...

Suspended tv console

Pros - clean look and easier to mop and vacuum :rolleyes:

Cons - can't take heavy stuff with limited space...as u can't be building a double layer suspended tv console.. looks so bulky and out of place

Decisions.. decisions :help:

Hope you have arrived at your console design! Same considerations as you but once we saw our carpentry quote we decided that we will go budget and only do/buy a really nice one when we strike lottery! Hahaha.

Really like Air's Telegramme and Grafunkt's line but also cost so much :(

Then we saw this on Taobao!

T1Hx54FF0aXXXXXXXX_!!0-item_pic.jpg_640x

approx $600 inclusive of shipping. Received it but yet to set it up. Looks pretty ok from outside. Haha. Hopefully it doesn't fail us after we set up. Lol

Wah we really look at the same sort of design... Air's telegramme is also one of the designs that I saw! Haven decide on the design. Meeting him only this coming sat for bathroom cabinet design and tv console..

For the design below, are you going to put your players on top of the console? if you place them inside, how are you going to control?

Question on Aircon insulation... I am supposed to get 1/2 inch but why did this show up as 3/8? Anybody familiar with this?

I checked with him already. He said that is the size of the internal hole and not the thickness of the insulation. The insulation is 1/2 inch. I also dunno how I can find out unless I go and measure

We will leave the sliding door open when we need to control the devices. Inconvenience of cheaper designs. XD

This is correct.

If you go to their website to see, there is an explanation

Hope this helps.

bianzi, I have the same doubt and check with my technician. they also say that the 3/8 refer to the inner diameter. can only base on "Trust" liao lor~
