QUOTE(sovietmah @ Mar 21 2012, 04:07 PM) I owe this to my contractor, he let me pay bit by bit during entire process and never rush me when I have some delay on payment. Maybe he took a big chunk off me as well that's why no hurry..lolx. Frankly I was pretty anxious to get things done and I did not compare quote from other source, this guy was recommended by a close friend so I trusted him. I'm thrown in a situation whereby I have to redo everything or else I don't have to spend this much. What's done can't be undone, enjoy the end result of all hard work.

QUOTE(Xccess @ Mar 21 2012, 03:42 PM) Reno set me back at about 120K, furniture + electric appliance + bathroom fittings about 40 to 50K. Cough out too much blood back I also will bought the 40" LCD TV and i have try to cut the board according to TV size.then, need plenty of time to recover. Added on March 21, 2012, 3:46 pm TV size is 40", height from floor is 34". And the height from floor is 31"...but many ppl say is very high....maybe due to my low TV cabinet 20"? ppl notice there is a big gap between TV cabinet and TV....but i feel 31" is a bit high too..prefer around 28". |

Maybe you like to try sitting on your sofa to judge the height, your 40" LCD with frame or without? My 3 years old LCD have a frame with a width of about 3 and half inches, do take that into consideration.

I'm no expert as I paid a uncle to install this for me, my power socket is just right above my TV cabinet as you can see from the photos. Yours seems to be sitting in the area where the bracket should be. Are you going to install this yourself? Before drilling, make sure you know where those cables were layed before making any attempt. I'm sure someone here can give you better advice.The problem is on power socket on the wall...i can install the wall mount bracket on top of power socket or below only.

The aluminum is for my folding windows, my contractor source this on his own, no idea which company he bought it from. Sorry not able to help you on that.Your raised floor is solid timber floor?

QUOTE(Kingsman @ Mar 21 2012, 06:37 PM) The design looks great! What's the size of your living room and how many downlights did you installed? Thanks, my living room is 14 ft x 13 ft , dining area 11 ft x 13 ft. I have 6 downlights in living room where 2 of it is warm white while 4 is white light, per downlight there's 2 x PLC light. So far the brightness for white light is still alright but if you prefer well-lit room then you need 6 x down light with white tube. |
