see see tiles and sand up!! YAY...

lol I think after passing some projects on (by the area) He feels a little more relaxed.. though I think he really needs to learn to use a PDA. mmm AND have his phone bills paid by giro. hehehehe Can you upload a bigger floorplan? What I did was to open the document in PDF format, do a print screen, paste into Paint program, crop off the parts I dun like then I upload into photobucket. hehe then it's bigger... then some of us can help you plan? I love your lights too. Saw them when I was shopping for lights.. but dad insisted they were too plain for his taste. I always get outvoted

Wei wei wei... yours is nearby already... don't complain. LOL But I can understand how tiring it is.. but it's also exciting to see new things up every day.

I think it's already amazing that he remembers to call...

SBH is one of the older stores. They have quite a selection but... when I went, they had tiles from all countries and the size of the tiles are odd so you cannot mix and match... mmm

Your tiler is very good... I like the 2nd and 3rd one actually hehe...

Looks like we all loved these tiles (that Aubrey has) but got rejected. LOL Mine was by my parents.

Then you have two more criteria..... you want more quiet places (not near gathering places) and one with more regular shape.. (maybe you can specify to him whether one or two odd shape rooms are acceptable? or completely not acceptable...) House hunting is always a headache.

hahah alright alright then I know who you are. Nope. My dad is the meticulous one who called practically every ad in the papers every day. He cuts out every single 5room, EA, EM ad from the classifieds and pastes them on the paper every day. Tell your agent your criteria and tell him that you don't want to see until it satisfies those criteria... otherwise it would waste everyone's time also. Good luck!!

yup yup.. always good to let professionals handle.

mmm We close to 3 years, taking breaks inbetween cos we got frustrated and in the final year, we looked at 50 units in Tampines and Simei alone... We went to Marine Parade, Pasir Ris and Bedok too. Do I know you worldangel? heh

no no... change new aircon but reuse your current aircon trunkings lor. Just take out the units, flush the trunkings and connect the new air con units to the old trunking.. It's a risk but it's possible. Flush = pour some chemical through to clean out the trunkings...

mmm Uncle suggested to get rid of it for my house.. I wasn't sure it could be done... but I did ask him to go ahead and apply for it...

m? maybe I misunderstood... do you have air con units in their other rooms now?

*faints* the way you all describe getting a call from uncle. familyof4... I just realise.. the wall you hacked is it the one dividing your home from your recess area? that's the one Uncle suggested to hack and I tot was impossible...

Mmm I never noticed the skirting...

guy77: I always write in chinese... After hacking, it seemed like most of the workers are chinese anyway. But I write very simple words. Only simple instructions can do this la... Like if I want them to remove a shelf I will draw a HUGE cross and put 坼 不要了under it and stick it on the shelf. Even when my place was being hacked, I labelled everything in my house also... grilles to be taken down, windows to be taken down, walls to be hacked, tiles to be hacked... I labelled before the hackers arrived. I love reno.

oo ooo I forgot to vote.. I like the w/o island format too. This is from a clumsy lady who cannot cook. I think it's impt to have ample moving space, esp in a place like the kitchen. rdnest... join the club of reno-addicts.

Welcome blue and pink diamond!! Such matching names. I'm glad you guys get to meet him tonight.. rem to call 1 hour before appt time! After looking at your ID quote.. I realise why sometimes though Ah soon's quote seems slightly higher for some items... his will be lower in total.. He doesn't have all the "make good make good" parts... it's all included.

mm? Read here... http://www.pub.gov.sg/conserve/Home/Pages/...mesProgram.aspx I got to know about this from Mace's money saving thread. They will send you thimbles which you can install to regulate water flow.

If I were you and want to save the false ceiling... I wun relay. Just flush the current pipes and reconnect.... risky but It's ok as long as the job is done well ba. When was the air con last installed?

mm me too. I went to Hafary once, LSH once, Sin Lek twice... but my dad went to Hafary another 2-3 times without me and LSH too. As long as you have an idea of what you want, you should be able to do this in one weekend! Good luck!

Wah I'm very interested to see the foldable glass walls....

Need marker also.. the permanent kind we use for names? Masking tapes / rough paper and marker will be your best friends. Cos everytime you spot something which may not be too nice.. or something they forget to tear down, etc, quickly TAG the thing so that the workers see it the next day and they do it. Simple things you can "instruct" them in this manner so as to lessen delays. Cos if you tell Uncle Soon sometimes he may not rem to tell the workers.

Wah tiling done! And it really is brighter without that walll. NICE!
