Continued... The Common Toilet: The wall tiles at shower area cost more than $10 per sq ft. Look at the shower screen, accessories & wall tiles at wash basin. I have not seen anybody in reno t-blog with such concept yet! Even the laundry pole is unusual.... The switches for the whole house...Brand is 'Schneider' and each switchs cost over $50 each! to be continued...very fun right??

I have yet to show you the interior of the common toilet! Did I say my sister call me for Help...something happened to her after she viewed the flat? I went up with her and my BIL on Saturday afternoon after my facial appointment, and for what purpose you guys who know me can guess it right? House is really beautiful....but...I will deliver the verdict later....to be fair to the owner & agent who is selling the flat in case I asked my sister to forgo the $1K deposite!!

Continued... Master Toilet.....marble wall tiles with quality finishes and accessories! Notice the frosted glass toilet door? Shower area....see the quality of shower head and shower screen?

Hold on....you have yet to see the quality finishes and the 2 beautiful toilets/shower!!!

Continued from the above post: The full view of Dining area.... The Living Room with glass partition of the Study Room. You can also see the walkway to MBR on right and straight ahead is another bedroom. The long box for the Ceiling Lights... Have you noticed the frameless full height door of the bedroom? Close-up view of the door handle in wooden black stripe which is 'Child' friendly...so young kids can push open the door. How? Beautiful or Not??

Why my sister fell in love with this house on her first viewing!! To be honest with you guys, after seeing so many houses in this reno forum, I am also falling in love with this house!! See to believe it... the owner renovated and move in Less than 2 months only!! The Kitchen: The Kitchen Island: Kitchen flooring is raw Cement screed, and parquet for the rest of house. The Common Toilet as seen with the Kitchen island. To be continued...

oh, I thought you have completed renovation after me. My sister has just sold her flat to a young couple at COV $58k, simple home with marble flooring. With new HDB rulings & new measures, the resale price is still crazy!!

I mentioned in one of my post about my sister selling her flat. Yes, she sold her 5-room flat at Bukit Panjang for $588k (Cov $58k). Then, when agent brings her to view a resale flat also in Bt Panjang, it was love at first sight & she has paid $1k upon first viewing without waiting for the valuation report!! The flat she viewed is really A1decor, as home owner is a design principal!! The asking Cov is above $40k, and there is one offer of cov $55k, so my sister ups Cov to $60k and made $1k payment on Thursday evening. Then, out of sudden, my sister called me on Friday for HELP!!! something has happened to her....and you know why I was called? Stay tuned....I will upload the A1 decor house & tell you what happen!!!

Hi, Hi I'm glad that you like it. I ordered it through my Feng Shui Master, and it takes 6 months to indent.

Sorry lah...not today.

oh, I got to check with master wo ....but I know it will be made of GOLD!

Hi, Bro Sunny I'm glad to see you here & happy to hear that you also find him to be responsive person. I didn't know that he had officially left until I asked him few days ago. I know he has his own reasons for not announcing his resignation earlier. At least he is still taking care of my post-renovation as of today. Even though his ex-boss treated him unprofessionally due to my project, my ID didn't ignore me & asked me not to worry about workmanship warranty as he is "still there for me". Really, only this word to describe his service - EXCELLENT!

Hi, sleek Good to see you here again. How's your house after moving in for couple of months now? Any more rectifications to follow up? About my ID, it is really sad for me as he has been with me throughout from pre-reno to now. The article should be published tomorrow if there is no space constraints.

The contractor came to replace one piece of floor tile. I thought need to replace 2 pieces which is U-shape, but the tiler told me is the other piece with n-shape instead. Ok lor...they are experienced tiler & accept his reasoning. Now, the guy also touch up the dirty groutings for the living room again Really very messy when tiler cut & take out the tile. The other tiler is at downstairs doing the spalling concrete at kitchen ceiling.

ok lah, Deh Queen

Bro, Kobelala Sure sure....So long as permit is cleared by Wifey Authority.

Hi, BunBun The forum was down for past few days for major upgrade. All comments on these 2 days from 18-19 April were gone!! I'm really feel sad that my ID has left the firm, but I believe he will be happy elsewhere, given his good work attitude, reliabilty & responsibilty. I totally agreed with you that it is the ID firm BIG LOSS to lose a very responsible ID.

I really can't hold this & have to say it out here! I mentioned somewhere in this thread about my Neighbour downstair who complained to HDB about the yellow stains on their kitchen ceiling which surfaced during my renovation. As tiler is returning tomorrow morning to touch up the groutings & replace the floor tiles, I know the contractor should also be doing the ceiling for my Neighbour. I just went down to check with my Neighbour & was told she is aware of tomorrow's arrangement. Kudos to my ID, even though he has left the firm, he still bother to arrange with my Neighbour & contractor to touch up the ceiling tomorrow when tiler returns tomorrow.

Although my ID had left the firm, he still care to follow up with rectifications. I could guess his resignation from the tell-tale sign of his messages when I alerted him about the bubbling & cracked wall plastering: "Had asked Mr Lee to arrange e plasterer to do touch up. He'd arrange, had gave him your no.". He texted me again yesterday to inform me "Just talk to him over e phone he said he'll contact you once e plaster men arranged." Usually, my ID is taking care of all my demands and will simply reply "OK, Will do." However, I can sense something not right when I received his above messages. From the above 'strange' arrangement, I called him last evening and he confirmed that he left officially on 1-April. Nevertheless, he still bother to 'entertain' me and he called the PM to arrange & keep me updated. Now, I can only wish him all the best in all his endeavours. p.s. The tiler Ah Lim is returning on Saturday morning to replace few floor tiles (warped tiles rejected) and touch up the groutings in one of locked bedroom when the previous guy came last time to do up the lines in living room and rest of areas.

One can 'Deh' until Contractor run away, and another can 'moonlight' at Changi Village, looks like 'Deh'ing' is a 'good' skill to master
