Soichiro: Dats really dirt cheap with wood some more. My contractor quoted: $3.2k excl dismantling. I got another guy, willing to do at $2.3k + dismantling old staircase

I got mine from TAME, same price $788 at expo... I juz scared now, if the poles push down its too high for my maid. My maid is like 1.5m, i dont want her climb on chair to hang clothes & push.

Hmm..the guy told me 2x visit, 1st time to install trunking & 2nd time to fix compressor & unit & do test run.. pay 50% on each visit..i not so particular on how many visits as long as they do swee2. So after reading your blog, i was assured i made the right choice. I was considering Panasonic coz it was cheap, but frd say made in china etc, not reliable..hmmm. U got inverter 4 or 3? I took up their promo 12k btu + 2x 9kbtu.

Hi Mae, I was at Aircon Design buying inverter 3 aircon, salesman trying to promote Mitsubishi heavy industry brand, doing his sales talk & in his album, he actually produced an extract of your posting recommending the company. I was sold & bought the same brand as u..

My current home have those zinc like roofing on balcony, its ugly & worse of all its **** noisy wen raining heavily. Macam like kampung house, Contractor quoted 2.5k to replace with tiled roofing. Considering Paul aluminium shutter, but can it be used if i installed windows at the lower part?

Aron, i juz smsed u, interested take up the panasonic offer but i b gg kl tomorrow, back on mon... How ah?

Glass with wood look so much better, stainless steel doesnt blend well with glass.. Ur la germania stove reminds me of the stove my mum uses in early 1980s, not sure hw u gonna design ur kitchen by using the stove. Looks expensive.

I have no idea wat Yakult is talking about.. What I see is its being downgraded to "Foreign" language..not mother tongue..

Really very very nice...worthy to put in decor magazine.. Love the idea of converting the space leading to the common toilet to become part of mbr..i always felt that space is wasted. Cant imagine how much ur reno would cost....i figured around high 5 digit to 6 digit coz my overhaul of EM, nothing fancy cost like $60k+ already. I notice you have like a total of 6 aircon units.

I juz sent u PM coz ur layout almost similar to mine but mine is corner.. view oso almost similar.. skali ur my neighbour..haha.

Hello, need to ask for advice. My corner EM is next to staircase only, do I need a fire rated door? Since such doors are so exp..

Ue em in tamp st 11?

There was another couple who was there, i not sure who.. My EM is near tampines round market...the way yeak do up ur house..i love it. I was considering the glass railing like yours but back out after seeing my toddler daughter had difficulty climbing up and down the stairs.. well, hard to say la..coz u knoe how ah long work... Now in the midst of finalising the stuff to work on or omit coz quote exceed budget bit & best part his quote..i saw didnt include 1st floor toilet, i not sure he missed it or something..need to check with him. but anyway great job!!! Hope my home will turn out as nice as urs.

I have been to your house, wife also comment the amenities nearby.. I love the way u & yeak has done up the house... care sharing me ur quote? But 1 ting im concerned is i saw a unit (few units from urs) door being splashed with paint... the unit seems abandoned.

Im not a girl but i tink its normal... Heard frds who missed period for like 1 mth+ or more also have. Anyway can go gynae check lor..

Thanks bro..i feel like seeking another quote for comparison.

HI bro, i juz PM u, i find ur reno is very nicely done and base on the cost of your railing and mine. I tink i got ripped off on staircase alone...others i cant imagine. Ur cost $4,150 Mine is $4900(12mm glass panel, no wood support), $250 (removal of old railings), $850 (create concrete support for glass panels) = $6,000. WTF!!

Hello fellow EM owners, Finally, got enough budget to reno my place...I got a popular contractor here to quote..happy he can do my place but there are some items which I feel is too over priced. He managed to meet my budget but after scrutinising the quote.. he forgot quote me for 1st floor toilet, change 3x bedroom doors + window & grilles for 2nd floor.. Some items i feel overpriced & i feel like sourcing out on my own for these few items like windows/grilles: 1. 12mm thick glassn panel for railing - $4,900 + $850 (concrete support for glass panels) 2. I ask him to quote for wrought iron coz later i find not so safe if kids wanna use it as support - $3,200 3. Rewiring for whole house - $3,900 (not sure how many lighting/power pts im given) 4. Whole house painting + plastering +oil sealer - $4,250 (but was later told he quoted wrongly & be adjusting upwards, not sure by how much) 5. Kitchen cabinet (41 ft) - $4,100 some other items, but i find these 5 items bit high..any comments..

My father in law repaired at 1.5k, really got difference after refurbishing it.. We compared the single sofa against the refurbished 1. So much thicker, comfy & smell of leather strong. Anyway he got it at another shop.

Ur sofa looks exactly like my father in law...he got 3+1+1. price wise i not so sure.. It peeled as bad as urs.. If not worst. Juz sent it to redo the leather. The guy say the sofa is not leather but pu.

Aron. Can sms me ur contact to 97957969 Gonna reno my em soon... Tinking on inverter 3.. For 3 rooms above.. Oso seek ur advice how to cool living room below & isit feasible.

Of coz la.. Spirits dun need to unlock gate & door.. They juz float in.. Yes lock definitely muz change.. When my maid ranaway, the 1st ting we change was the gate padlock. Too many people have access to ur keys already. To be safe, better cover all angles, change padlock, paste a talisman, altar, or watever religous item u believe in...

staircase so nice....heart pain to see it torn down.. out of so many members EM...tink my EM original state is the worst.

Hi can PM me quote & ur contractor too?
