Choice, choice, choice, decision, decision, decision!!

There are so many things to consider for every decision on every selections....

We finally decided to change tile to floorboard to create a more welcoming and warm house for our guests.  Tiles are too cold in the winter too, so apart from the wet area, we change all the common area downstair into floorboard.  Upstair, study and guest room are carpet.

The hardest things to decide is the electrical.  How are we supposed to know where the powerpoints to be put?  Thank God we have lots of friends who build too, they gave us some critical advice!  The key to know is to picture your house with all your furnitures, fitting, equipments and from there, allocate your powerpoint.  Never put powerpoint right in the corner (adviced by a friend), you'll lose that space for any furniture or equipment.  That friend put one on the corner of her kitchen bench, she can't put microwave on that corner after plug in power; she can't use her second powerpoint (she has double powerpoint at that corner) once the microwave is put in front of the powerpoint.

The other major decision for us is to include the aircon installation in the house with PD.  We went to many air-con installation shop and consult the professional, everyone of them gave the same advice:-

It's critical to have refrigerated air upstair
It's harder to install air con downstair once the house is built
It's more expensive to install after the handover
