    For neutral cable, please take note, let said you have 3 x 2 gang switches in that area, you only need 1 neutral cable, and from there you tap to the other switch. don't need to lay 3 neutral cables separately.

      Hi the costs are in the video. We didn't hack all the existing tiles in our flat, just overlay over the old tiles.

    is it easy to clean the kitchen since there is no tile backsplash and there is only wall now?

    • @LivingwithSun

      Yup still easy to clean. We don't do heavy cooking so no oil stains on the plain wall so far.

    Hi, i'm thinking to plaster over my kitchen wall titles too, but i heard have to see the condition of the existing wall tiles first. Any comment on this? :)

    • @LivingwithSun
      @LivingwithSun  Рік тому

      You can use a coin to check if your wall tiles are hollow if you're worried about the condition (I have a video about tiling). If not then just hack and plaster should also be cheaper than hacking and retiling.

    • @LivingwithSun
      @LivingwithSun  Рік тому +1

      We plaster the kitchen wall tiles since we don't want to spend even more money to retile the kitchen. Just need to paint over the plaster. We don't do heavy cooking so we're ok with it.

    • @KoKoThePomeranian
      @KoKoThePomeranian Рік тому

      @LivingwithSun the plastering is done by yourself or ID? I'm thinking to plaster the tiles since only a corner of it.

    • @LivingwithSun
      @LivingwithSun  Рік тому +2

      Oh it's done by our ID. I think they used something called easi plaster.

    I'm just wondering why you can't have slightly different levels for the bedroom and the living area. Is it so important to be level?

    After the covid saga, everything just bloom up by eye watering price increases…these type of simple renovation cost $30k to $40k max

      @LivingwithSun  Рік тому +4

      I know right? Inflation is crazy. In the 1990s my mum only paid $10k for her HDB renovation. I think now in 2023/2024 it will be even higher.
