  1. I'm guessing... hacking and hauling alone... 2k+ floor tiles for whole unit + waterproofing - 6k Wall tiles for kitchen and toilets - 3k. (tiling for kitchen is for exposed areas only.) If you want to save some money you can consider cementing and plastering over the kitchen tiles. Can save 1k.
  2. YES YES PLEASE! hahahha I also kaypoh
  3. haha yes yes. it's always good to play tag team. Check the carpentry properly k? most impt.
  4. eh... maybe send to you to see la. not very nice to upload photos of other people's houses? hehe
  5. hehe cabinets can be up in a day.. the worktop might take 3-4 days though becos he has to arrange for them to go to your place and measure. Wardrobe will probably take two days... Floor laminates 2 days... I wonder if they can all be done simultaneously.
  6. I love the doors and the pink pink room!! so SWEET!! So the kitchen cabinets will be up this week? So fast!
  7. if your renovation is done and you're left with some minor touch-ups you can bring your furniture in already. Don't bring in before completion cos you might risk your stuff 1) getting "stolen" 2) getting destroyed.
  8. mmm good that you didn't step in. My dad insisted on going in and I kept worrying as he stepped all over the newly laid tiles. Think you will be able to see lots of progress on Monday! Rem to take photos!!
  9. Huh too bad you can't see the Eunos place. I heard it is quite nice... I wanted to go see it myself. *sob* And it's not a forummer.... sadly.
  10. haha same! I got him to quote my 超好 friend a 超好 price and he quoted her $950 for painting everything in her 5-room. Good price!
  11. HUh then yours is like mine. My stupid 2nd appt also Friday. Then I arrange for electricity and they turned it on on MOnday. Uncle submitted the permit on Monday and it was approved on Tuesday. I started hacking on Thursday though, can't rem why.... haha Likewise. My parents loved talking to Uncle Soon and they switch between Mandarin, HOkkien and Teochew while I just remain confused.
  12. I think Uncle Soon really deserves a good word. Really he cannot do this for very long anyway so he might as well earn as much as he can now and relax soon. Jesper got his from Native02 I think. hehe
  13. WELCOME! So an overhaul is needed I reckon? Hope to see your pictures soon!
  14. guy77 Indeed. Which makes it even harder. I guess with meaner people we would feel less guilty trying to get more out of them.
  15. By the end of the month??! means you only have 20 days to go! wow.. you're on a tighter schedule than I was! Good luck!!
  16. Yup. Your blog and jesper's blog came up about the same time... when mine was finishing. Then Fondue and rune at the same time. Smallboy confirmed with Uncle earlier but just started his reno... whahaha
  17. mrspiglet hehe will tell you about the cakes when I get them. I guess a once in a while treat is well-deserved. It's expensive but not out of the question yet. heh heh My colleagues and i were oogling over them on Thursday and debated on whether we should buy one and go over to their houses to eat and chat. haha Luckily we were much too full. We shared 6 tarts from the Jap Place. Speaking about that.. you and I were lucky to get into the Jap place early!! Otherwise we would have been like the hungry people waiting outside... Yes yes the camis are very nice! Worth buying! I think the material is quite nice and they have quite a few nice designs... the only thing is.. I think you would be wearing S... but they had very few left when I went. I do hope they restock. mmm I think you all know how I feel when Uncle Soon says he is willing to do my recess area FOC... I was super pai seh while my parents uber happy. *faints*
  18. Ya. don't waste money to hack and tile. just leave the walls and put your cabinets. But aren't there facing walls that wouldn't be covered? plaster over. haha
  19. Wah yes congrats on the buys! Very cheap... makes me itch to buy a new fridge too
  20. so wakzool, they will start tiling today??
  21. haha After ashes02's question about how I knew Uncle Soon.. I think I should consolidate a list... I got to know about Uncle Soon from Native02. These are the people who also signed up with Uncle Soon... lushbelle (who did her reno the same time as I did) mrspiglet fondue rune jesperbg smallboy ashes02 familyof4 ivy Tigades apples Metalsubzero (will try to update this list when I can. Click on name to go to their T-Blog) I think many others signed up with him too, just that they don't post up in Renotalk. According to my little list I have sent out his contacts 87 times and that's only about 3/4 because I only started keeping track about 2 months ago... mm Ah Soon has been reliable and very accomodating for most of us ba. haha I think.. word of mouth is the best advertisement for anyone.
  22. Actually I think it might take some time one. Sometimes the appliances heat up or what will affect. It might take 2-3 hours but probably not half a day
  23. heh if there's a flood for any reason... electrical appliances will definitely be affected somehow ba..
  24. Goldlim! We never got to see completed pictures!!!!
