    Ok I'll try suggest to my contractor again! I can't PM you too but I've cleared all the rubbish in my inbox; hopefully can PM now. Also love your blinds; can suen bian share the vendors? Haha

    Love the light at your main door! My contractor says the area outside belongs to TC so he can fix if we insist but if they come, we have to remove it. Should I risk it? Also, may I have the contact of your windows contractor? Thanks so much

    It's all coming together! May I know how much is the Rubine instant heaters? I may take over your shower set if I'm going for storage heaters - saw a few IDs who recommended instant heaters instead.

    Hey @KFC1189 May I ask where did you get the planters on the left? Went to your blog to check it out but didn't see any info on it. Sorry to barge in your blog fifteenmay!

    I guess the costs will be cheaper than full carpentry *thinks hard* lol love your posters btw, tempted to get the luncheon meat but I'll prolly crave luncheon meat all day errday if I have this! haha

    Great tip on the grouting! actually I was referring about the grains 'not matching' as I assume it will probably be bad-breaking and time-consuming for the tiler to try to match the grains as much as possible plus the suppliers will just deliver the tiles as per what they get too. just thinking on how to get around this. lol

    great idea on the wire shelving for your wardrobes! how is the maintenance now? wondering if the dust will get trapped between the grooves too

    Hi! Could I trouble you for the contact for the windows contractor> Thanks so much!

    Hey SlothQueen, That would be great; thanks so much! Do update with pictures so can see the end product; so exciting!

    So matt paint is the way to go? Could I have your ID's contact and quote too? Looking for someone creative as I've met a few IDs and I think they're actually project managers and not thinking out of the box, giving me the same old plans instead of ideas I can't think of myself. Haha

    I too prefer cement support for sink but some IDs told me not good for maintenance, will have cracks and whatever rubbish. Are you leaving the concrete top as it is? Is it the sides are concrete too and then tiled? How much did your contractor charge you for the cement base? I'm hoping cost can be the deciding factor! lol

    ahh ok...look forward to your updates then!

    Your place is sooo cosy and very different from usual concrete scandi etc! How are your painted doors? They look matt in the photos so the paint will probably not drop off easily? My current doors are painted with glossy paint and the lightest scratch will cause the pain the drop off so I probably will not paint any doors for my new place.

    How do you like your floors after moving in and seeing them day and night? I'm asking as I really love wood floors but I have dogs so I can only consider 'wood tiles' but after seeing so many houses with 'wood tiles', I'm not sure if I can take the 'disconnected' look of the wood tiles ( the tiles have a limited length right?)

    Very detailed look-book! looking forward to see your reno updates but how did you get your contractors to quote before you collected the keys? My friend was telling me better to collect keys first so contractors can give a better (accurate) quotation after seeing the place with measurements.

    Aiyar, can't see the photos of the complete reno but based on the prelude, I think I can imagine the rest of your house I wanted to ask if Google Sketchup is easy to use? I've downloaded it and it says I have 30 days to try everything in Pro for free so I'm planning to use it closer to confirming my selection of contractors. Also, could I have Boon's contact and your reno cost? I wish I could just do everything I want without considering costs so no need to nick and pick! **** tiring la

    Finally sat through your whole blog! Took down so many tips (in my little book for reno) and saved a couple of links. Thankyouhamida for sharing so much details! My current bathroom has those slightly 'rough' surface type of tiles which I think are mostly used outdoors and it's been more than 5yrs and I've never cleaned it once and still looks great. Just wondering if your tiles would need some cleaning every now and then? Also, how are the shelves of your cupboards doing? For some reason, it fees like my cupboards walls are expanding, and the shelves are hanging barely on the metal stubs (I'm definitely not using this contractor!) Good tip on the internal laminate - will do that for the new place.

    Good info! Thanks so much for sharing but please many more photos ok? Also, may I have your contractor details?

    Hey Nestlee, didn't get your pm; could you resend again?
  21. ahmiu
    Thanks for the headsup! Heng coz I wanted to consider white flooring - will definitely strike this out unless without tiles. Not sure if this is relevant, do you think the brick wall deters lizards? I know that there's this old school lizard proofing treatment (makes the walls rough with many dots) but it doesn't work at all. I'm super terrified of lizards and can cause earthquakes if I'm stuck with one!

    I've shopped so much on TB that I have to impose a self-ban and thought I'm quite zhai already but your buys really tops the cake! Never thought of shipping back tiles. Now that you've pointed out the issue with tiles and grout, am thinking twice about wood tiles. How like that? How much did the post-reno clean up cost? Could you share uncle's contact, or is the same as the generic contacts?
  23. ahmiu
    so nice you guys can do some parts of the reno yourself! I don't think I can do any other than shifting things around haha Could I have E and your contractor's contacts? Wanna ensure E is the contact that I have.

    Ive been a room before with one; although with many people inside (about 20-30pax). it doesn't really cool a big room, not only it's very noisy and expensive, you need to put it near a window so you can hang the hose out...otherwise it would be unsightly... I'm thinking of getting those air coolers instead...cheaper, no need for hose. It won't cool a room and the 'coldness' only last as long as the ice (about 4hrs). Personally it's ok, the most I'll just sit beside it. Hopefully it doesn't consume as much electricity too.

    jln besar, diagonally opposite the hawker centre across the field. If you're travelling along jln besar rd towards sim lim, turn left before the hawker centre, you should be able to see the shop at the end of the road.
