#16 - Designer Fan, Toilet Accessories, Wardrobe

Dropped by Amasco's showroom (Amasco SG - 135 Joo Seng Road #02-01 PM Industrial Building S368363 [http://www.amasco.com.sg/index.aspx]) to take a look at the Vento Fino 13. This little retro fan is well known as the chilli padi of fans. Tiny but powerful, comes with a great price tag too, close to S$1.2k.
The particular model we looked at is the improved version which can rotate 120 degrees left/right. The older not as powerful version which cannot rotate cost about S$400 plus.

We saw a version with pink fan blades and thought that would be what we want to add a dash of bright colours, but apparently what's available are only Oak and Mahogony colours. Would have to do more searching.









Went to Heritage Bathroom (Heritage Bathroom Pte Ltd - 718 Geylang Road S389630 Yuki - 68460148) to place order for some of our bathroom accessories, ceiling fans, storage heater etc. Prices for ceiling Fanco ceiling fans with remote are even more attractive than one of the regular offers in RenoTalk.

Ordered the Air Track 56" Metal Silver for living and MBR and the smaller 48" same colour same model for the 2 common rooms.




The Joven JH50HE was our storage heater of choice. Capacity is just right for our consumption as am using the same at my current place.







Visited Closet Design (Closet Design - 3 Kaki Bukit Road 1 #B1-02 Eunos Technolink S415935 [http://www.closetdesign.com.sg/]) to confirm our MBR pole system wardrobe. The sales assistant reeeeally CMI... Really missed Angie who served me 3 years back when I get my wardrobe done for my current place.

#15 - Door Opening Ceremony

Sales completed on 21st May 14! Met our ever helpful Agent (Ashton 97837896 Propnex) the same afternoon to collect our keys and proceed with our door opening ceremony at 7pm, the earliest we could make it when there's still some light? We did a google search and just followed the simplest method.

We had no electrical power nor water so most of the stuff we did we had to depend on our bicycle lights. Haha! Reason why we had to perform the ceremony so urgently was cos the SP Power guy would be coming into the house to do some inspection as per their procedures before they could switch on the supplies the following day.

Note pictures were taken the following day.


- Fruits basket with 5 red apples, 5 oranges, bunch of banana, bunch of red grapes and the pineapple we rolled into the house placed in the middle of the living/dining room
- Bowl of wet cotton wool and green beans
- Plate of Tie Kuan Yin tea leaves
- 1 orange sponge cake as we can't find any where selling Fa Gao

- Red packet with S$2 and 2 oranges at each of the 4 corners of the living/dining area
- Rice and Green Beans mixed and sprinkled all over the corners of the whole house













- Red packet with S$2, 3 oranges and 1 orange sponge cake placed on the kitchen stove











The next day was fully equipped. Tools and equipment, fan, floorplans, etc

First thing that was done once the SP Power guy left after switching on the supplies : bowl water!

Progress of the growth of green beans

#13 - Switches - still shopping for

Visited Legrand's showroom today to look through all the available Arteor series.
In the end we still feel that we will be sticking with the same old Tattoo Round Buttons Edition for the majority of the switchgear in the house; with the option for maybe Wood Wenge Style for switches which may be located on cabinets.

Used to get all the Arteor series from Choo Chiang (http://ccm.sg/www/) but might have a better lobang from Tommy via Weng. Will decide on exactly what we need before placing order.

#12 - Doors and Grille Gates - still shopping for

Visited Doctor Doors to look at their innovative Combi Door. Unfortunately the price was on the high side and beyond our budget. Otherwise it would be cool to have that with the Samsung Push Pull 7 Series digital lock (works out to almost S$4k)

#11 - Fans - still shopping for

Visited Fanco's showroom to view their range of ceiling fans. Shortlisted 56" Air Track for living/dining and MBR and the smaller 48" Air Track for the common bedrooms. However the 54" Air Fresh though slightly smaller, gave off stronger breeze due to the design of the blades. Prices at the showroom were pretty high. Can get better prices everywhere else.

#10 - Tiles

Our particular unit has a special feature. Both bathrooms are plastic. Yep! They are similar to the bathrooms on airplanes. The good thing is HDB will be hacking away everything and building proper cement and mortar bathrooms FOC for us. Unfortunately the selection of tiles are pretty limited...

Available Floor Tiles

Available Vanity Top

  

Available Wall Tiles















So we decided to put in a request to purchase and use tiles of our own...

Lost count on the number of times we visited Hafary... this time round though we got Abby to accompany us. Managed to finally select the floor and wall tiles for both bathrooms as well as kitchen/yard.
