Renovation progress on 21-Aug-2009 Kitchen's wall tiles completed. Base for kitchen in progress.

har...I see.. I wonder how the sand-tempered swing glass door look like..I haven't reach the stage of "doors" yet. heehee.

No worries. Pinkydot. I have send to your e-mail. Hmmm...I guess most of them..esp the IDs will want you to go down to their firm so that they can do their sales talk. Oh....so u are doing a major overhaul too huh... My parquet flooring on the second floor wasn't of good condition either. Initially, I thought I will need to change the flooring...fortunately, I talk to my contractor and he told me I can retain the flooring by smoothing and polishing it + replace some of the parquet. I hope your 2nd flr flooring is not tiles...if not, chance of saving it is slim. Wife and I are tight on budget also. We are saving money on the windows as the conditions are still consider acceptable and can be covered by curtain. However, we need to replace the windows in our balcony.

Sure. No problem. Could you pm me your e-mail so I can email to u? huh...did you call every of the IDs and contractors and chase them for a quote. Do hope u find a contractor or ID for your EM soon.

Oh....neighbours for now. I am Blk 2A at the moment. You will need to roughly know the color theme or how u would be doing your toilets. Most probably he will ask you to go Sin Lek to choose your tiles. I presume you will need to re-do your living room, dining room, balcony, kitchen and 3 toilets ya? You might want to go down and take a look at the tiles first and at the same time have a rough idea how u will want your toilets, kitchen and other rooms to look like. You have absolutely free-play to mix and match. Mine mosaic is more for my mirror. Most owners are using mosaic as part of the deco in align with the toilet wall tiles.

heee..is okie.. I got another tile. Thanks.

Hey man! Thanks. Do you have the code number for the tiles u selected? So later I can go down to Sin Lek and take a look?

oh...ic...That explain why...You are really lucky that you get to keep the flooring. The condition must be good. For mine, some of the tiles have already crack. No particular reason why we didn't went to Hafary as we manage to get the desirable tiles pattern we wanted over in Sin Lek.

Updated on 22 August 2009. Jason called me around 8:45 p.m. But, I miss his phone call. I managed to return his call around 10:30 p.m. He told me that the kitchen tiles that we chosen has some problem from the batch he ordered. The tiler has lay about 20 pieces of it on my kitchen flooring. Both Jason and tiler realised that the tiles has some cutting edges and leveling issue from this particular batch. Thus, Jason has call to inform me he has removed all the 20 tiles that has been lay..reason is because he fear this batch has some quality issue and also some of the edges of the tiles although has "dog-ear" that is naked to the base of our feet. In long term wise, it would not be good as it might get worse. So he told us is wiser to remove all the 20 kitchen floor tiles. He suggest us to choose another kind of tile tommorrow and he will re-order for us. Am lucky to engage his service as my contractor. I doubt other contractors might want to remove the tiles since it is naked to the feet. Why make the extra effort since owner will not feel it?

haha...then "bo hua" to pay for the lift upgrade for your case leh.. haha. Vote for no. lols

Is worth to pay for the lift la. Everyday, climb up and down also siong... Everytime, I saw Jason's workers.. I will apologise to them; telling them no lift...paisey...sorry for the inconvience. But, so far no news for my lift upgrade.. donno have a not.

Ya lor..She told me in advance..heehee. Thanks for the reminder. $1250 is a good price. Did you get the kitchen sink from her? I took the sink. The material in term of thickness seems to be good; I was carrying it to feel the weight.

Coffee o: Ya...He can chat everything under the sky. Your should be a major overhaul, thus it is around 55k. Hopefully, he give you more discount. Oh really! Yours is also on the second floor! Mine don't have a lift..I have to climb up the stairs....How about yours? Yup. I bought my unit at a good price as I negotiate myself without an agent. I guess is pure luck. homemaster: Hmm..u are alone...then is not me liao.. heehee. I think Miss Kee's price is quite reasonable and she has good product knowledge. Probably, I have to go down on Saturday to finalised my stuffs and use some Vitamin M. Coffee & Homemaster: Ya lor..the more I look at it..the more it look like boy scout...hahaha..but not too bad la... Girl Guide har...When I manage to see it. I let you know. heehee

Let me think..I think I was wearing a white tee shirt that shows a monstor with a pair of hand crawling I think.... Can't really remember.. lol... Are u the pair that took the Rennai hood and hob? So did u bought from Miss Kee.

Thanks...The more I look at it..It seems to look like the boy scout logo.

Is a risk to take it also...As we can't really visualise how it will look like.. We are glad it turn out ok.

Will not sian one la...heehee. Cleaning no choice... Take turn.... Hubby clean the male portion...Wife clean the female potion..haha..next time your kids clean their portions. Fair n square right...

So how did it go? I think he should be able to advise u quite a fair bit of stuffs.. heehee. Hopefully, you find your desirable ID or contractor soon man. Looking forward to your major overhaul project. heehee p.s.: Tiles is at Sin Lek @ Eunos.

Yishun Ring Road is mine...No. 4. Tiles goes by psf.. So depending on the tiles u selected. :-) Usually, it will take some time for you to choose your tiles...perhaps, get a feeling of what kinda of theme u are going for first....it might be easier for you to make decision... and hmmm...for Henry. perhaps, u can check with him what if u choose more expensive tiles...cause I am sure there will be a mixture of different pricing tiles u going to select...there are 2.60....3.00...3.20....4.20....even 5.20....then ask him to quote based on 3.50 also...and compare their price. Hope it helps. Tiles is one thing..... U should also pay attention to carpentry (*not sure if u are doing any*)... My carpentry at Yishun is definitely nothing yet..As I just start my tiles. So I don't want u to make a waste trip to Yishun for nothing to see only tiles.. Perhaps, u can check with Jason, option 1 to 4...which one has tiles + carpentry ya? That would save u some time....unless u drive?...heehee...then no problem la...go for all 4 ...no harm.

Your front gate is soooooo cute... It definitely cheer people up before entering the flat..

Reach our place at 7 p.m. Workers are packing up... Took a snap shot of them leaving at 7:30 p.m. Lady boss call it a day. Another day of hard work.
