I just realised the layout of your house is very good! MY mom would have loved it.. with a big service balcony somemore... waha

mm WELCOME! saving the floor will certainly save you lots..

Wah your dining table is so useful!! can extend so long so big! my mom loves this sort!

mmm say if I had a 3 room and I had to overhaul it.. Hack everything hackable and retile...carpentry would be kitchen cabinets + a wardrobe for MBR and shoe cabinet... + electrical and plumbing... I won't settle for anything more than 18k. *Am I mean?* yup granite is costlier.. but if you're thinking of getting good quality solid surface top.. then might as well go for granite.

windows are half height.. but I'm afraid if I run them under the windows they will be wet if we forget to close the windows... Planter is a nice idea though.. mmm add some greenery. hehe Dunno le.. 1.6m doesn't look very wide.. haha but then I'm not very tall. Haiz. Dad say shoe cabinet cannot put on the wall where my main door is. he insisted. Then bo pian lor. I don't know what he will do to the door cos he dislikes having the door face the lift. YAAAA first I spent 3 hours on the phone... waiting on the line for their.. EXTREMELY busy personnel to answer meeee then I gave up and I emailed... and I received an IMMEDIATE response saying.. that they are very busy.. need 3 days to reply my email! URGH. Thankfully my lawyers are a little more efficient.. they already bugged them to **** and talked to HDB already. If I had to wait for DBS + HDB + CPF... I think I will vomit blood! ************************ Update!! My mom is thinking of doing my dream DINING!!! WHOOOHOOO! and I might get to put wallpaper!! hahahahah so happy! I will try to draw up something. Whoohooo

Wah... just alittle more fondue. so excited for you!

Looking forward to pictures... CONGRATULATIONS on the arrival of the bb!!!!

Welcome! wow i'm sure both jobs come in useful in acquiring your new home!! really nice place. I love the flooring.

heheh stupid renotalk... your reno done liao then up. but at least we get to see your completion pictures here!! then when is your furniture coming in??

I LOVE your daughter's room also!! so sweet with the flowers!!! mm hope your air con thing will be resolved!! Luckily your contractor offer to change laminate. Such a terrible incident!

WAH really pei-fu you... luckily your wife can conference with you at work.. otherwise you'll really be stuck. Glad you got all your lights already!

ahh I think I have an idea what you mean.. cos you have been living there all these while so mm.. I'm guessing you would want to keep demolition to a minimum... in that case.. if you want the good quality solid surface then you might as well go for granite which isn't very much in difference if you go for china granite. Indian granite will cost more. Ah Soon didn't specify but then we didn't ask cos we weren't very concern with the kitchen. haha Since you are staying there I really doubt they would try to cheat you. A little tough. Your mom will be home every day to watch them?

I think the living is very long and nice ah... looking forward to your pictures.

hahah in the other hiding place... ok la. then you will get more freebies along the way. Happy for you! When start?

MmM I've seen people change it too. If Ah Soon suggests it then I think it's safe. Sometimes I ask for some things to be done he insist cannot cos against regulation. He wun do anything that will risk things. It could be that the workers that those IDs hire... refuse to do such work. So they tell you cannot do.

Wah even move in already??? please show us photos!!

mm why changing the lights is a mistake? haha my quote ah? ok ba... mmm the toilet is a place where you can "play" with tiles and tile colour etc.. so it's up to you la... :)If you don't do.. maybe next time your area will upgrade and your toilets will be done? the ones that yokine mentioned are good brands. Ah Soon gave me Bellus which he quote about $70/pfr. Cheap la. The good ones can go up to $120/pfr. I suspect Malaysian one.. is Bellus? mm.. up to your usage. If you're not keen on cooking often then never mind MMMmm If your ID/Contractor is so particular... like $850 is cheaper brand paint and $1k is more ex paint then you must be particular with them also since you're paying for it.. like when the paint arrives it should arrive in the right paint cans lor. There was one forummer who was suppose to get the "good paint" but in the end get mixed paint.. paint which was mixed with cheaper ones.. he even sent samples to ICI to check... mm I guess if it's the same cheap price for all kinds of paint then no need to be particular

Wah I love that foyer light!! Die everytime I se eyou all with new lights I want to change my lights... I'm mad... Wah seems your light hunting really sent you to a lot of places... my family more lazy.. dun wan to go Balestier see. haha I'm the one who is lazy la Yay Air con up!

Wah... the hole is quite big le.. the old trunking so wierd one.. runs into the floor and was laid before the marble was... Good luck I do hope it'll be patched!

Welcome Shogen! started reno liao ah That's goood... WAH you go all the way to Korea to have your photoshoot! *envious* ENJOY!

mmm good good but dunno how dad will feel with his stuff on the other side. I'll ask him. He has funny ideas about how things should be put. Was thinking if I should buy a small armchair instead.. mm Oh no quote yet.. Ah Soon had to mark some things for me and submit to HDB before I can buy the unit.

mmm New tiles for entire floor should cost close to 4-5k.. Changing of gate about 500? Windows + the toilet ones will cost about 1k+ Doors will cost about 500.. kitchen cabinets.. top and bottom? What kind of worktop? kitchen wall tiles 1k+? painting 1.2k... Toilet overhaul will cost another 3k.. cos yours separated one... more walls to tile. All this is based on my stingy estimate... electrical? change of DB box? switches? change of lights?

Congrats on getting your flat!! This is a familiar layout.. like Simpleguy's!! cool!

YAY picture picture

mmm the Bank is really slow in processing my things. Even the busy Ah Soon is faster than them.. SIGHHHHH
