Plumbing Phase
First of all, like to apologise to those monitoring my renovation progress. Have been very busy lately, so busy that I was working from my new home for awhile to reduce the time wasted in travelling. Tiling phase took two weeks to complete. I just realise that I didn't take the pictures after my tiling phase is done. :(
Anyway, plumbing phase is over in a blink of an eye. Within a day, the plumber drilled all the holes, and installed the stainless steel pipes.
My common toilet is full of pipes. At each cold water point, there is a stop clock to allow me to isolate problem areas like leakages in the future.
My master bedroom toilet is kept as neat as possible. All the water point was drilled through the wall separating the toilets into the master bedroom toilet, hence I achieved the concealed piping look in my master bedroom toilet. Don’t have picture to show you as I insisted that my actual tap is to be installed after acid wash to prevent the acid from eating into the taps.
At first, I wanted to get a 35L storage heater by Joven. But when I went over to Asia Excel Marketing in IMM, they recommended me Amasco instead, as their warrantee is more comprehensive for just $20 to $30 more. I trust them, as they gave me very good service few months back when I was doing research, even when I told them that I'm not buying yet. Plus I've recommend a lot of other neighbours to buy from them. I never regretted it because…
After the plumber installed the water heater, I switched it on to test it. Water was very hot, and I turned off the heater. The next day, I went to my new house again. When I wash my hands before leaving the house, the water is warm. After more than a week later, I visited my house, and used the water again. To my surprise, the water is still warm!
The pipe have to travel a bit longer to reach my kitchen water point though. Now I'm very glad I have a stop clock installed at my hot water point in the kitchen area. Imagine the amount of energy wasted while the hot water travel to my kitchen point, esp when I don't need the hot water!
My washing machine tap is very near my kitchen tap. I didn't think much of it, but my ID did. He foresee that I might have a problem with the default location of the tap, and hence shifted it not once, but twice automatically.
Two more things to show you. My toilet bowl and my bathtub. My toilet bowl is a single piece unit. Anyone wants to guess how much it cost me? At first, my ID told me that my tub is porcelain, But instead, he delivered an acrylic one. After speaking to him, he refunded me a little money… :)
