Hihi.. Been away for a week for holiday and seems i have missed out the chats here..
Hmm.. Seems like almost everybody has started their reno for their house already. But for me not yet, cos ghost month coming.. Just found a Feng Shui master to go to my place to see see also. Hope can adjust bit of my luck.
Hopefully i can start my reno in late Sept or early Oct which is after the ghost month..

Hi guys
I went to my neighbour's place and saw his walk-in wardrobe liao... His walk-in wardrobe is built via the masterbedroom toilet door.
Pros:
1) It's does looks neat.
2) Toilet is hidden, neat and nice.
Cons:
1) Aircon position is shifted to a position whereby it did not cool the room effectively.
2) Once the bed is in, the walking area is very tight.
3) The wardrobe cannot put in much clothes, the wife clothing alone will fill up all the hangars.

Bigfish >> I started my reno this Monday. Target to finish by end Sept.
Xiaofeizhu >> Yeah..have done my PS end June. Now waiting to see first layout..should be ready end Sept.
Finn >> I'm also doing WIW at the same area. Already prepared that the passage way will be tight. So will use string curtain instead of door.

Hi Yukifire
It really looks neat and it covers off alot of dead spaces, but the color cordination between the wardrobe laminates and the wall of rooms must be match very nicely... else like my neighbour's case, the wardrobe is glossy and shiny to the effect it makes the focus on the wardrode and the rest of the area dull.

Hi Big Fish
I was not charged extra by BestTech.
And yes, 2 days is better.
1) Once your aircon contractor setup everything... and your renovation work is still in place, the dust and ashes will stick to your aircon blower.
2) You probably dun want your contractor to turn on aircon and enjoy their afternoon nap.
Common and best practice, trunking to be performed first. after the first coat of painting, install the rest. The reason is: The bare wall is powder coating... if no paint is being applied, it will keep dropping via vibration/scratches and etc. I heard that extra fee from Gain City can be waived, you should bargain and bargain... hehehehe... $80 leh...

Finn >> For my WIW, we use partition wall instead so will paint the same color as the room. And partition wall definitely much cheaper than the laminates.
Angell >> Which level are you staying at?
Bigfish >> My ID strongly advised us to go for 2 time installation. All Best charging us another $40 for second installation.

Hi Guys
Finally tested on my CityGas heater system. Here is my view:
1) It can go very hot if you set it to the highest.
2) Compared to electrical/watertank heater, it is consider slow when you heat up the water. However, I am refering to less than 5 secs slower.
3) Convenient, you can simply adjust the temperature of your heater just by turning left or right of your tap, like hotel or resorts.
SO for 487ers who have yet to install their heaters, I think City Gas one is pretty awesome.. hehehe

Hi Finn,
My husband and I have met up with Raynard yesterday and we have saw that they have installed the water tank heater system. However, we are still deciding whether to install Instant Heater or the Water Tank Heater. Cos' we are worried that water tank heater is difficult to control the temperature by turning left or right of your tap (it will be either too hot or too cold) not like the instant heater's temperature.
So when you will be arranging to visit your house? Heehee..
