Week 11 - Renovation

Week 11

We shifted in this weekend although the house wasn't ready as yet as there were still alot of touch ups to do. But we felt it was more convenient to work on the house while staying in. We did a check of all the rectifications required and our ID will be looking into solving all these issues - differerent shades of painting, lamination problems, silicon filling etc.

We also extended the fridge base so that both doors of our refridgerator would be able to open fully. For side by side 2 door fridge like ours, you will need to open up the doors fully to see how wide your friedge base should be to avoid a case where by one door will hit the wall and not be able to open fully.



Installation of Hob

Our hob was also installed . Purchased from Mega Discount Katong -we bought a set package comprising of a Rinnai RB2CG Inner Burner Built in Hob and the Chimney hood - Rinnai RH988 C for $1400 after discount, which was the cheapest price we could find.

Installation of Gate


This week saw the removal of the old gate and the installation of the new galvanized steel gate from Specs Metal. We chose the Zen model which fits in well with our contemporary modern look. We paid $590 for the gate inclusive of installation. Although pricey, we like the silent operation of the gate whether you are closing or opening the gate, without the usual banging of gate sounds. Also you pay for the galvanized steel which is more durable and anti rust than the usual wrought iron gates. The keys provided are of an anti-duplication type. You can contact them at the following site :



We customized a single leaf frame gate instead of the usual double leaf so that the access to the door is wider. They will come to your place to do on site measurement and show you the designs possible.


Installation of toilet accessories


The plumber also came to install the following toilet accessories :




Ferrera Asiapac Bathroom tray ( $60 per tray after discount )

Ferrera Asiapac Towel Rail ( $45 per rail after discount )
