But every renovation sure got its problem... My problem is my living room tiles.. Not sure why after the Acid wash, the entire living room white tiles got a **** lots of watermark.. and its soak into the tiles.... I check the internet, its mineral deposits... Will be meeting the boss of both company to discuss on this matter ( tiles and my ID/contractor).

See the picture below, the big patches of water mark very obvious during day time..... Its the entire living room floor tiles..

I have heard that vinegar mixed with water removes tough water stains but i'm not sure if it actually works on tiles.

I will have to try it this weekend when i start cleaning my flat after the contractor hands over. hopefully it will be able to remove the water stains on your tiles.

but of cos, try to let your contractor do it

whahaha. i think the cleaning and moving part will also be very very tiring. i think when you start your first round of cleaning, will find alot more areas you will want to speak to your contractor about. unless you have already been very detailed.

but after move in, can slowly relax in your own space and regen your lifespan.

Have been very detailed. Lol, every day i sure go the house without fail and any defect or mstakes, i straight tell my id/contractor and he will rectify for me. So that when officially handover, it will be good.

Hi Ahyong81,

Can i check how you power up your led strip cove light? Where is the powerpoint?

Did you get your electrician to do it for you or DIY? can share the process if possible? Sorry for so many questions.... TIA!

Living room with the cove ambient light

Cove ambient light (without camera auto light correction)

With Camera Light enhancement

I diy the led lighting strip. At one of the top corner i asked the electrician to run one lighting point cable (live/neutral/earth). I then connect to a transformer to convert 220-230v ac to 12v dc. The transformer has two dc output. One i use it to power the philip hue controller and another one to power the rgb amplifier. Cause the philip hue controller can only power 2m of led strip. The rgb amplifier can power an additional 30m of led strip.
