Home Sweet Home (5) – Flooring and Painting

Regarding the choice of paint and colour, we are decided that we will go with one colour WHITE for the whole house. In fact, it’s more of the choices of paint, now in market, there are Nippon EasyWash and Odourless, Dulux Wash-and-Wear paints, we always thought we will go with them, but looking at what K offers on his quotation, we only have the choice of Dulux Pentailte / Wash-and-Wear! We also learnt more about PAINT after this renovation, these EasyWash/Wash-and-wear paints cannot be touched up… as touching up will give you two different tones, and during this renovation period where it’s bound have bumps and knocks here and there, so we were advised to just go for Pentalite White instead. Few years down the road, if we ever decide to refurnish the walls, we can pick EasyWash/Odourless paint then. 😉

Bathroom sanitary wares and Kitchen sink & mixer were all delivered to the house, so we also moved our lighting purchases from Taobao to the bomb shelter! It’s exciting seeing the house progressed at last….

Home Sweet Home (4) – Cement Works

There are just many issues with here and there from the start to now.. thanks to my boss and company, I’m allowed to dunno-work-from-home-for-N-times, thus, being able to attend to such issues!!

Back to topic, now the flooring is not even between Bedroom 3 and Living Room!! The HDB contractor who did a cement screed for us before the hack, needs to re-do part of the floor to screed it evenly, so that we can do our Evorich flooring… but this HDB contractor uncle is such a bully! He is so fierce to all of us, yelling at us… blaming us why do cement screen before hacking the walls, bla bla bla… anyway, for two weeks, he dragged our schedule! GRrrrrrr….

Now, let me share one of our sibeh-cok-up-issues… Continue Reading →

Home Sweet Home (3) – Air Con Trunking

We went with Gain City at Woodlands Causeway Point. The process was pretty fast and simple, as there were not much choices, we went ahead with Mitsubitshi System 4. We are such green birds that we do not know how should air con trunking run… and also restricted by HDB corners here and there … SEEMS to me, that HDB built the model thinking “nobody will install aircon in the living room, and that most people should have false ceilings” -___-” And so happens, we are the opposite of what HDB has in plan for us. We are going to have an aircon unit in the living room, but we are not going to have false ceiling as Pail thinks it’s lowering the already-very-low ceiling.. so now, this is what we are facing.

Home Sweet Home (2) – Renovation starts

One thing to note for all new home-owners, please remember to activate your SP Services account before your contractor starts work! hahaha… we forgotton all about that, and Mr K had to call me in the morning to ask me to do that… I was so kanjiong in office lor… almost wanted to arrange for SP Services Express Service at $54 and rush home to meet their technician. Fortunately, they had no available technicians, and I do not need to pay for Express Services. Mr K later asked his workers to turn it on themselves! Aiyo! They can actually do it, why need to pay SP Services? 😀

Some BEFORE pictures.. so that we can compare with the AFTER pictures later. =p
