Yup, I've gone thru similar headaches and worries during my renovation time. U were lucky that ur contractor didn't cabut with ur hard-earned money. A little mistakes here and there in nothing compared to those whose contractor who ran away half-way.

I made mistake looking for a cheaper quote, ended up getting a lousy job done to my kitchen extension. The contractor declared stop-work after he hacked some walls and removed windows and doors.

As we hunted for someone to continue the job, his workers came over my house to wait for their wages.

We had no choice but to pay them, and asked them to finish some left-over jobs.

Only 2 months later we managed to engage a new contractor to continue with other main works. More expensive but good workmanship.

3 years after moving in, we did another reno, to extend my car porch and tile-up the side yard, to allow more space to park our cars. Re-do the roof to provide extra shelter too.

Glad we did it early as the prices of materials shot up not long after that.

Mel2 who is the contractor?
PM me. need to avoid.

PM sent.

Yes, I only use one port. And so far 100Mbps I don't see any bottom neck yet.

I use Mikrotik VLAN Switch for my TV area. So it can go to IPTV, and have extra 3 more ports for my IT Equipments. http://routerboard.com/RB250GS


For my Network termination in my "server room", i don't use keystone jack. I use patch panel. See my photo below. I have some more LAN for CCTV, yet to put into the Patch panel.

I presume your used UNIFI...is the Mikrotik configured to hoke up to UNIFI TV channel cable too? Because the UNIFI default switch have pure a TV port that only could use on 1 to 1 with the terminal, and will not work if putting a hub or switch there. WHich given my trouble on my WIFI signal due to equipemnt seat at the back bed room, can't covered all area

It can be physically one cable, but virtually difference zone. Aka VLAN. Mikrotik can do VLAN for the switch. Is the smallest and cheapest VLAN switch in the market. Is pretty powerful.

Been trying to finish up the 49 pages? How much did the renovation cost excluding furniture and appliances? Thanks.

Would appreciate if you could break down by
wet works
ceiling
windows and doors
electrical wiring
plumbing.

Renovation can be done in 20k to no limit( sky high). Depend on what you need & how you do it, hehe....
Usually the main constrants is .....our wallet...

If you have read on Pg 1, I've stated

I still "Budget : Don't wanna think about it (scary )"

So even if I can remember all the figures I would not go through this distressing experience

Not a good idea, better use keystone because if move too much of cables you may risk snapping inside the core and repairing will be problem.

Have you experience Cat6? is even much easier to snap than cat5e. My office running one cat6, already have 3 points need replacement because too much movement.

Is not worth to save small amount. Much nicer with proper face plate, and less hassle.

Is yours the Florentino Cool model? Just got that today and am wondering how you've found their sofa, so far.
Bought the 2x 3 seater with arm rest and 1x 2 seater without arm rest.

I think its the same model as yours, if i'm not mistaken.

Mel2, I too want to avoid. Pls pm me as well. Thanks in advance.

That contractor was active around BU, DJ and some PJ areas. I don't see him around anymore.
Pm-ed you his name & company name.

Its grounfos UNI-E. Got it from zheilwane.
Upper storey, lower ground, having a pump is to increase water pressure to your pipes so that all the toilets will have better pressure.
Usually if water source,(Water tank ) is on the roof top, the upper storey has lower water pressure compared to the lower ground. Gravity is the main factor here.

Err.. I dunno what my model is called.
Fron your description, should be the same as mine.
The original colour fabric is dark colour, I changed the fabric.
So far so good. No complaints.
The fabric I choose is surprisingly good with stains.

Located on the ground floor on the left of the showroom with the dark grey stripish type material.
Should be the same one kua. Taking delivery of my set early next month once i've moved in.

Yup, that should be the one.

Compliments to your choice.

There is another Gold fabric colour one by the same designer that won an award and is displayed in a gallery somewhere in Europe.(they say wan)
Wanted the fabric, but they say no as the designer specifically forbidden it.

Abit hard to match gold sofa with most interiors, no? I choose a dark blackish brown colour for the sofa to match my interior.

Most of my furniture is a walnut type colour hence the selection.
