Congrats on your renovation journey and moving in. I am just wondering, wouldn’t the track lights be overly excessive? In the sense, the lights are targeted in a small area instead of dispersing around the entire area. Eg, the Kitchen area you have the lights concentrated at 3 spots instead of say, an LED light strip that disperses light uniformly throughout the area and less harsh on the eyes? Presumably, if you get a dimmable spot light maybe that helps a little?
@lifewithmaniac 2 ай бұрын
Hello! We get where you're coming from. For the track lights, we chose it as we wanted to focus on a certain area for eg. our picture frames on the walls to highlight it. LED light strips works great to disperse light equally around so it's up to individual and how you wish to plan for your home. The dimmable option would definitely offer more flexibility too! 🙂

@lifewithmaniac 9 ай бұрын
yup, our original trap was removed to make way for the new one. we heard a lot of mixed responses on the waterproofing warranty as well but decided to go ahead with it. I guess if you want to be 100% safe you can check directly with HDB on what the warranty coverage is like before proceeding!

Bro, may I ask how long does your Carpenter finsh all the works? Ihmo, for your water dispenser, I am thinking, is it advisable to pull the water pipe all the way near the dinning area? ,etc. Putting near the basin seems not so advisable etc. Also, I am thinking of bypassing the filter for the water dispenser, etc. :ps: I gonna get a cheap type, etc.
@lifewithmaniac Жыл бұрын
hello! if i recall correctly it's within a month. For your water dispenser, you can run a pipe all the way to the dining area but likely the pipes will be exposed if not hidden within the tiles which you have to plan ahead. It all depends on the design of you home and where you find it most suitable for you. As for the filter, it's totally up to you. The water from the tap is safe to drink afterall.😅

We requested for them to ship with the wooden racks! you'll just have to top up a little for the extra service via messaging the seller. You're right about the extra steps if you go through a 3rd party shipper which we've tried before. Price difference definitely will have some slight savings. However, we valued the convenience more so we went ahead with taobao's shipper direct. Hope this helps! 🙂

Hi! Thanks for sharing your Reno journey with us! It’s always great to have you guys trying to help new homeowner like myself. I’m currently at the stage of doing my tiles. I was told by the tiler that over laying of wall tiles will never have zero non hollow spot. As I’m have no experience in the work of overlaying of tiles, hoping to seek advice from anyone here in understanding if what my tilers said is really true or I should insist on zero hollow spot?

Hi! Great looking colours! Was wondering is there a reason why you did not paint yellow for all the yard walls, specifically the one below the window. I've also painted my yard in a peach and notice that that space below the window shows the colour darker than the sides. Was wondering if it's the reflection of wall colour causing that.
@lifewithmaniac Жыл бұрын
Hello! We did consider painting it all yellow initially but wanted the yellow to stand out (like 2 feature walls). No specific reason for it. 😂 Peach is a nice choice of colour too!✌🏽 Perhaps it could be due to no light reflecting on the space below the window compared to the sides, hence it may appear darker.
