fruitshake969 0 Report post Posted December 4, 2011 Renovation UpdatesThe renovation recently cater to the "bathing connoisseur / aficionado / enthusiast / zealot / addict / mad / crazy ,,," part of me As mentioned before my contractor installed 2 water tank. Extra one advantage, if water shortage in my area I have more water storage thus last longer.Tiling has startedKitchen and Laundry area.. :) Bathroom You will notice there is a feature wall at the shower area I designed myself, I nearly lost my mind choosing that tiles. The tiles I initially choose cost nearly as much as the tiles for 1 whole bathroom tiles. :wacko3: Luckily sanity prevailed and I changed my mind after a good night sleep Things I've learned :hmm: : - locate your water tank along the concrete wall top, depending on roof truss timber to provide support is not enough. Water damm heavy. :- Usually cement is used to adhere tiles to wall, Adhesive (susu) is used when shiny, glossy tiles are involved. The chemicals that are used to process these tiles cause the tiles to have reduced adhesion thus susu) is needed. Even if it is "Grade 1" tiles, it is not all perfect, bound to find some tiles to be "imperfect", especially wall tiles. Sad to say usually these imperfection are only noticeable when the tiler apply/use the tiles (the imperfection are noticeable when it is placed side by side with the other tiles).

fruitshake969 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2012 Renovation Updates:- Grill Installation My Huge ass grill arrives and is installed Ground Floor Grill Installation, The result :P 1st Floor Grill Installation, Getting the grill up the 1st floor has a very interesting back story. I was actually reminded by my mattress supplier that I need space to move my mattress up the stairs, that is why the stairs was re-renovated earlier. :stars: When the top floor grill initially arrived, it had to be taken back and re-modified to 2 piece to enable it to be moved up as the initial 1 piece design was just too darn big, even for my handle-less stairs. :shakehead: Thus the grill was installed 2 days apart. :nod: The result Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
