It really depends on how much you air the carpentry and ventilate. The smell for ours became better after a couple of months but there are still a few parts that have a strong smell even after a year. :(
I too, sometimes wonder for the amount of money we pay for carpentry, can’t they use thicker wood (i.e the base of the drawers, and rear of cabinet)? Moreover the kind of wood they are using are probably the cheapest wood out there. 😅
If you have a good ID, he should have drawn all the drawings using sketch up and 3D drawing with measurements, all all these nightmare wouldn't happen. Also if he is a good ID, he wouldn't use such a lousy workmanship carpenter. Wake up from your dream! Pay peanut expect lobster!
We didn't want the vents to be next to the appliances but have the vents placed so there is airflow behind the appliances. The contractor just decided not to follow our instructions and didn't tell us they were going to do it a different way. But this way works too.
In general I think it's good to have (but more place to collect dust). Depends on the appliance you buy. In the installation instructions for our appliances it recommended adding vents.
Always discuss detailing often by the time carpenter has measure after updates...Floor Plan and on site is always different. As a client, please clear all your doubts and don't be afraid to ask and dont assume all ID offer the same type of standard deliverables. Regarding the cooker hood...the top cabinet has to come out beyond standard measurement but it's not practical...that recessed hood is Telescopic where it flushes...a few mm offset. Be specific with your dimensions. All laminated are low VOC...this is standard ACROSS ALL SINGAPORE Laminate Brands unless your carpenter cheapens out buying from Malaysia. Adhesive smell is what you call it toxic and theres nothing you can do about it...who the hell moves in during carpentry installation...
In the 1st place all these things shouldn't happen if you have a good ID with him a good carpenter. Why should they be even fixing these error if they did a detail measurements and planning. Omg!
You pay what you get. Want cheap and think all carpenters are the same? You and those cheapo home owners who think they are smart to get a good deal deserved this painful experience!

All your videos are helpful!! 🙏🏽
Very helpful, thanks for sharing!!
Thanks!
Hi, can i know what brand and code of the laminate you use for the canpentry works? Its looks so natural and nice
Sure! It's Panaplast Loft Birch
Saw that you have recessed lights. Did you need to install a false ceiling for that or was the HDB ceiling deep enough to install them?
We installed a shallow false ceiling. About 7cm
may i know what ceiling fan brand and model you use? HOw is it so far?
It’s from PO Eco (Blizzard). We chose it because it’s short in height, quiet, and powerful.
Hi do you have the link for the kitchen hinges ?
Don't have a link but the brand is Excel.
How long before it took for the carpentry smell to go away, thanks

Hi, may I ask what are the dimensions of that toilet paper niche? And how much bigger did you think it should be?
H 13cm W 13.5cm D 13cm
I think the size is ok for us. I guess it depends on the thickness of the toilet paper roll you usually buy.
Hi! What is your ceiling fan model?
We got our fan from PO Eco! The model is Blizzard and size is 46".
I too, sometimes wonder for the amount of money we pay for carpentry, can’t they use thicker wood (i.e the base of the drawers, and rear of cabinet)? Moreover the kind of wood they are using are probably the cheapest wood out there. 😅
And the glue they always use is so toxic!
what type of carpentry is this. looks solid. I've only heard chip board, melamine, laminate. so confuse
Hi! I believe the carpentry is mostly made of plywood! There's a laminate stuck on top of the plywood to make it look nicer. Hope that helps!
Hello! Can i check whats the material/ code that you use for your kitchen countertop? Thanks so much!
It's Caesarstone Frozen Terra!
Hi, nice home! Did you liaise directly with Caesarstone? Mind to share how much the countertop in total?
Thanks! Our ID liased with Caesarstone. It costs around $22-23 psf.
Hi, where do you place the fridge and the dining table?
You can check our my home tour video to see where the fridge and dining table are!
Can you share your contractor so we can avoid engaging them?
To be fair, our contractors and ID did their best to fix things for us. If you PM me on Instagram I can share with you 😊
@@LivingwithSunhi I like to know who is the carpenter or contractor or ID firm . Thank you 🙏
If you PM me on Instagram I can share with you!
If you have a good ID, he should have drawn all the drawings using sketch up and 3D drawing with measurements, all all these nightmare wouldn't happen. Also if he is a good ID, he wouldn't use such a lousy workmanship carpenter. Wake up from your dream! Pay peanut expect lobster!
what is the issue at 0:09?
We didn't want the vents to be next to the appliances but have the vents placed so there is airflow behind the appliances. The contractor just decided not to follow our instructions and didn't tell us they were going to do it a different way. But this way works too.
@@LivingwithSun i see. it is necessary to have the vents for the appliances like oven and microwave? or is just a good to have?
In general I think it's good to have (but more place to collect dust). Depends on the appliance you buy. In the installation instructions for our appliances it recommended adding vents.
I think theres a good chance we have the same ID. And if any, mine worst!
Ooh!! PM me on Instagram if you want to confirm haha

Which contractor did you use? Would like to stay away
To be fair our ID tried their best to fix things. If you DM me on Instagram I can share with you.

Could you recommend a good ID and carpenter so others can avoid the same experience?
