Mark's guys came and install the kitchen window frame yesterday, also took out the living room windows, wife loves the brightness of the place:) Yeak's tilers really friendly and good. Progress looks good, both toilets are completed, kitchen almost done, left living room flooring and kitchen flooring. Royal Fanco will be delivering the sinks and stuff on Saturday morning. More payments to be made..... Anyone with good contacts for wallpaper & curtains? Will prefer those that can come to the place to measure, very busy recently with work + reno, not much time to run around to get quotations.

Tiger, zebra??? Did you see the leopard skin tiles at Hafary;)

Hehe, Yeak also suggested to us not to use glass backing but we'll probably go for it and then worry about cleaning up much later:) Adrian, some tips Yeak shared, some of the power pts can be hidden under the cabinet, like your mirror cabinet, it may be possible to have the points facing downwards towards the table. Check with him if you like, can hide the power points. Will using both dark brown for your MBR toilet make it look dark?

I've gotten a quote from 3M, they have $6-$7psf range. Didn't get a proper quote yet because I haven't give her my window sizes. Maybe too reflective for my liking but are they others in the market which can block out heat >80% and yet not so reflective?

Been a busy few days, met Mark from Wellmax (Thanks Tulips ) and gotten a pretty good quote from him to change my balcony & kitchen windows, also going with him for gates & bi-fold doors. Nice guy, I got excited by his prices and wanted to do the whole house initially but came back home, kanna whack by wife... Suppose to save money, went to spend even more $$$. He was nice enough to re-calculate on Saturday evening and still give a good price, now to see their workmanship and will feedback once its completed. They'll be rushing to put up the kitchen frame this Tuesday, so that Yeak's men can continue tiling. Also went to look for solar film and curtains over the weekend. Because of my curve balcony, have to custom-make the railings and maybe the curtain too...

Thanks for the invite but won't be able to join, I know my cousins are going to hold a 'secret' birthday celebration for me. Already got early booking by my aunt;)

If 47x can get 22k COV, I think very good deal for him. The agents told us the school around that area is the better one in this area, not sure how true is it but can always use as another selling point

Ok, thanks. Going to remind him this weekend about the catalogs.

Just came back, the tilers were almost done with the bathroom walls. Didn't disturb them too long since going to be there tomorrow morning to meet Mike. Precious, what's the brand of laminate flooring Yeak is using? He still hasn't pass the samples to us yet and knowing the both of us, need lots of time to think thru...

Oh, thought in the kitchen, we have similar pipes in kitchen and both toilets. Going to box up all of them, nicer looking... we vain:)

That's fast. Saw your pictures, tiling only halfway and they are coming over? Wife abit kancheong liao, worried about timeline, cos we also need to move in by early Aug.... have to hand over our place to our buyer too.

Your balcony tiles was my choice for my bathroom wall but kanna cut off by my wife... very nice. Are you going to box up the pipes in the kitchen?

LSH & Hafary are along Balestier, Lian Seng Hin website: http://www.liansenghin.com/contact/contact.htm Hafary is just down the stretch. Can just walk in see see look look, got to be abit more thick skin. The sales staff will come and bug you but some of them quite good with their suggestions. I was upfront and told them am just looking around for ideas and those I met was ok with it.

What we did during the time; - Spend time looking at magazines or websites to get some design ideas. Shortlist them and shortlist them again!!! We happy happy cut and saved so many designs, in the end, also get confused. - Visit the tile shops, get some samples to play around. We went 3 times to LSH & Hafary before finally making a decision, wife wanted to go back again but lucky no time liao;) - Like Precious said, aircon. Now hot season, their bookings are about 2weeks plus in advance for Gain City. But I was told by a salesman that prices may go down during the rainy season (maybe August), since yours still long, can consider waiting. - We also used the time to check out lightings and bathroom/kitchen fittings, to get rough idea of prices. - Yeak can only give a rough estimate of the prices, actual will need to measure. And you'll probably add or minus stuff in between, we probably had 4-5 changes before finalizing. Both of us abit fickle minded, I think... - Sit around, drink kopi and complain how inefficient HDB is, 12 weeks just to settle a resale process....

25k cov..... mine only 4k cov, still have to throw in dining table and washing machine.... but mine on 2nd flr, hard to sell.... Which block (just the first 2 numbers will do)? When I was searching, the 35x series asking 20k COV but for 5rms and well-renovated....

Oh ya, yours marble tiles, must sayang sayang abit:) Hope it'll finish early, then we can take our own sweet time to move in, plan to have the 'official' move in before 7th month.

Sold a 4rm ($290k), bought a 5rm ($360k). Can ask your friend to check this site for updates of the resale prices. http://services2.hdb.gov.sg/webapp/BB33RTI...3PReslTrans.jsp Want me to recommend my agent, quite good fellow. Decent and on the ball type.

Yup, sixer, tulips then me. All line up swee swee.

Parking lot Packet of tea left for me??

Half height kitchen wall (Kitchen seriously small...) Clothes Hanger....

Another quick check on the progress after work... Hacking done, tiles are in:) Living Room Tiles in bedroom

Haha, this is probably the first time Yeak's attending a gathering organised by his fanclub:) Will you all be preparing posters like "wo men yong yan zi chi ni!!" type :D

Facial room… serious ah

Got it. Will check for you. Now back to pretending to work;) Going to use some of this time to plan my lighting layout

Metal strip between tiles? Placed between the kitchen floor and living room tiles?
