Finally hooted some stuff for the bathroom. Can't wait to try it out

Aircon piping by Gain City. Opted for an additional System 2 for the dining and living rooms.

Got this swivel TV mount from Homefix for $79. The TV would not be facing the bed.

This laundry rack actually cost $35.90 ... bought from a neighbourhood shop ... When did things become so ex?

Went to JB on a Fri afternoon for KDK fans. Traffic was light at the causeway and we were able to make a turnaround in 1.5 hrs. Indeed, the savings were huge! 4 ceiling fans for about S$630. That would cost about S$1200 - $1500 in SG.

After pay GST still reasonable right

Since when did things become so expensive? I was quoted $1,200 for just the replacement of the corroded bar at the top! Going to get another quote ...

Called up quite a few windows contractor ... seems most of them don't do it ... never knew this to be a show-stopper ...

Prices are indeed crazy. I recently inquired about glass tops for my dining table, just a 1.3m round dining table. First quote I got was $500 for tempered and $300 for normal glass. More expensive then the table

Seems like construction, renovation, furniture is a good industry to be in .... I honestly think that the id profit margins are very high ...

I decided to go for these from Amazon and its resellers.

Grohe 40 364 robe hook for common bathroom - from Amazon

Grohe 40 462 Essentials 24" Multi-Towel Rack for both bathrooms - from www.faucetdirect.com

Grohe 40 689 Concetto Single-Post Tissue Holder for common bathroom - from www.faucetdirect.com

Another buy that exceeded initial budget. Ariston FK62 CXS. I assumed Ariston had removed the pizza function from their entry models, e.g. FH52... it's not listed on the specs, forcing those who need the pizza function to get the higher-end models. They also did away with the rotisserie function, which probably wasn't that useful after all.

Most of my work is done. All the shipment has arrived. What's left is for the carpenters to install the cabinets, electricians to mount the lights, plumber to install the bathroom accessories.

Still, we were wise to go down each day to take a look. There was some oversight, like they left out the internal colour PVC in the master bathroom cabinet. A wrong model of light was delivered wrongly. All these need to be highlighted immediately, else it'll be too late by the time it's finished.

Balcony light installed.

Carpentry starts.

Hi Sentinel,

Did you consider Bosch? Can you share how much did the Ariston cost you? And where did you buy the same?
