no choice. dont think so much. think abt the positive things. u get a new place that is going to be renovated soon and beautifully done up!

Actually it is gd u started a thread on a new contractor. Reno mates will have one more gd contractor to engage if he is gd!

Congrats! It is ur home ultimately. Doesn't matter who u engage to renovate your place as long as u are happy and comfortable with it.

okie mah. bao by tai tai means more money for reno! Joking. Hee.

I don't smoke and I am not fat. Lol. So Char must be slim and pretty. Hee. Maybe I can add this. Slimming centre for non-smokers, facial centre for smokers. One hand hold cigar already. Need 2 hands to do mask. My joke not funny. Lame. Sorry. I don't smoke, u come u come my place will be smoke-free. Hee.

photoshop is gd. hmm, in reno for example, like if u choose a basin and don't know which tap looks nice with the basin or which position to put the tap is better, take photo of the taps and basin and PS! especially for ppl like me who cannot visualise things very well. this definitely helps alot. photoshop is gd! hee.

coffee_o bro, I seldom post here but everyday I read ur t-blog, I also blur, don't know how is ur reno progressing. But I think if u want to buy tv, wait for SITEX. Check the price. Anyway, u are not in the hurry to buy also rite. TV is like car, the price depreciates everyday. Bz at work also must come renotalk and post here and there. Constant working is stressful. But learn to take breaks.... although in my case, sneakily. Lol.

Congrats~! Enjoy the process keke! Hmm, I think $2k? My guess is random, I don't know what is the usual price.

Hmm....... Smoking is bad for health. Also bad for the environment. So, please quit. Heeeeeeeeeee...

Thanks Chinchye. Reno progressing abit slower this wk. Air-con will be up tomorrow. Other than that, I also don't know where we are at the reno stage. Ha. Next up should be finalising the design (the finer details) I believe. Will post new pics in due course.

Thanks thanks for the info. Actually, we roughly know what colors we prefer and he more or less know also. Cos we keep on saying to him we like vibrant or bold colors! The 'louder' the better. Haha.

Congrats! The condition of the flat is quite decent, can move in already.

Can I check with you whether Loyd showed u 3d drawings with color schemes? If not, how did you all decide on the color of the paint?

ask them cough out what they ate. lol. joking. pinky is a nice lady. she won't do that. hahaha.

I think the air-con installment is unacceptable. Must fight for your right okie!

My living room is facing the playground. For now, if you walk past it and look up from the playground, you should see my unit clearly. Cos no one is renovating except us. Haha. The postponement is very sian cos I am only free during wkends. Wkdays I work till quite late. So any postponement means next wkend, provided he is free. I believe he can delivers for sure. If not, we won't have signed up with him rite. Hehehe.

Yes yes, your block is just opposite mine if i am not wrong. Wonder in future if I wave at you, you can see me or not. Ha. We saw your blog and that why we went to meet up with him. Hehe. Loyd la, a nice person in general. Just that he is very bz and occasionally last min cancel appointments. Abit sian in that sense. Other than that, he is also a responsible person.

for reno, i think we must be prepared for hiccups. i think hiccups are hard to avoid. maybe we should not pin too much hope and when the final products turn out to be better than expected, then we will be happier.

buy tv FREE fridge, WAH!!!! gd buy!

Hi payretep, Moving in means u are officially married. Congrats! Anyway, is the table cloth going to be there 'permanently' till it is torn? I think it spolit the looks of the dining table. Why hide the true beauty of the dining table. Show it! Hee.

Hi Bergkamp, Oh, hope everything is fine now. Previously I was speaking to a lady by the name of Arlene in Orangecube. She is quite a nice lady. if any hiccup again (hopefully not), you can try to use her. She has been with Orangecube for a long time, seen one or two ppl who used her in Renotalk also. Anyway, I didn't go with Orangecube cos their quotation is really the most exp for the number of things I want to do and the design is not what we want. Anyway, gd luck andeenjoy the reno process!

Hmm, I won't do a L-Box. I will do false ceiling instead, less restriction to where the lightings points can be. From the pic, at the dining area (the yellow box area), there won't be any false ceiling. Instead, create a lighting point in the centre of the box to have a hanging light. The yellow dots will be down lights. I think it is nicer if the down light is shining at the centre of the sofa and at the entrance of the kitchen.

Thanks! Design might be nice but our theme, not many will be doing. Wait and see. Hee. Door has to be fixed for sure. Hey, ur reno is progressing well too. Hehe.

Wanted to highlight to ID today but yesterday inform me he is not free to meet up today becos his project in another country need immediate attention (hiccups I suppose). He was suppose to go shopping with us on bathroom accessories today. And show us drawings - wifey have been waiting for this! He didn't really draw in details previously becos on site many things might change. Instead of drawing something super beautiful and later tell u cannot be done, he opt not to draw first. Anyway, it okie. We will go see see first. Hopefully the scratches/cuts are not a big problem. As long as it is not so visible after rectification can liao. Actually, want to take our minds off reno for this wk, have been spending too much time on it and neglecting other stuffs.

Everything seems to be progressing smoothly! Gd luck! When is hand over date?
