Day 57 (22nd Feb) - Carpentry Day 5

The last daily update was on the 29th Jan (Day 33), Carpenter was only back to work after the long CNY break on 22nd Feb 2016. So practically speaking, there isn't any renovation work done from 30th Jan till 21st Feb (24 Days)

Today the carpenters delivery carpentries for Bedroom 2 & Bedroom 3

Looking for good contractors? Click here for your request

I bought the invisible insect screen too but when i install it, i realize it blocks out the wind.

in the end, i took it down and did not put back since. haha!

I love your simple human loots! i bought their trash bag dispenser and it cannot hold a lot of plastic bags. :(

:jawdrop: Oh no. Sorry to hear that.

Hopefully wifey wouldn't complain it's too stuffy when ours is being installed and the mosquito net can "last" long on the window.

Thanks :D Seems like I need to look for another alternative to hold extra plastic bags :o

may i ask if you purchased the artificial grass for what purpose?

place at balcony?

Mosquito Net

(140x150cm颜色分类:自由裁剪(灰纱+黑帖)x 4 ) RMB29 x 4 = RMB116

100x140cm颜色分类:自由裁剪(灰纱+黑帖 x 5)RMB21 x 5 = RMB105

140x150cm and 100x140cm, is for which windows?

Hi rxgn,

Yes, you are right. We have plans to place the artificial grass at the balcony :D

If got excess, thinking of placing it at the common corridor right outside our metal gate ;)

Following are dimensions of our windows

Bedroom 4

Bedroom 3

Bedroom 2

Master Bedroom

Due to the limitation for the selection of suitable mosquito net dimensions, I chose slightly larger dimensions.

e.g.

140cm x 150cm can be used for Bedroom 4 (119cm x 140cm [70cm x 2] )

100cm x 140cm can be used for Bedroom 3 (69cm x 38cm) x 3

Hi duomaxwell

How's the quality of the Marble Top dinning table ? Mind sharing some photos of the actual one.

I always think of buying furniture from taobao, just scared of the quality and difficult to ask for compensation

Thanks

Hi t14388,

I myself also also not sure of the quality of the Marble dining table yet as we have yet to assemble the dining table since our renovation is still on-going.

I will take some photos of the actual dining table after we have assemble it. (Somewhere around mid March)

I also have the same concern as you that's why i usually buy from suppliers from "tmall.com" instead of "taobao.com", which i feel has better quality. The price saving is really a lot until sometime just close one eye on the quality. :P

We also used Oops.sg to ship all the above items back. The actual volume was just 0.53CBM, but the chargeable volume is 1CBM, as such the shipping cost was S$113.64 (RMB500) as Oops.sg has a minimum requirement of 1CBM.

This was the first time using Opps.sg and we thought all these 6 items would be at least 1CBM but we were so wrong. All the 6 items only add up to 0.53CBM. So lesson learnt (the hard way as we sort of overpaid for the shipment coz our actual volume is only 0.53CBM).

That's why you can see that we purchased so much more bulky items during the next Taobao sales (12/12) in the previous post but it still only adds up to 1.13CBM. So it will be better to accumulate all the bulky item purchase to fully utilise the minimum requirement of 1CBM by Oops.sg

We used Oops.sg to shipped all the 14 items back to Singapore. Actual Volume is 1.16ccm. Charageble Volume is 1.20ccm. Shipping Charges is S$133.33.

The Dining table itself is already 85kg. So the shipping is really very cheap since its calculated based on volume and not weight.
