that is so disgusting!!!! how can they let the lizard be a permanent dead thing on the door and painted over it? yes, i support you. don't pay them the balance if they don't rectify everything. How many % of balance is there?

i didn't get jessie, i got assigned with someone else. Wonder whether i can change??

My oven also kiv item cos i seldom use it as well even though i am dreaming of baking cakes and cookes etc. the most important thing is just my reno first then can think about the rest. i bought my washing machine and fridge from Audio House and they discounted them too and on top of it, there is WOWme program by DBS if purchase at AH. immediately $600 off but must spend $16k in 1 year using dbs credit card. My other worries is aircon. Pls advise where is the best place to get aircon.

Must do: I think kitchen and toilets are the must do. And i want to do open concept kitchen. That means, most probably will have to change the living room as well. With hacking of walls in bedrooms into 1 big master bedroom, also means that i have to redo the master bedroom. All these added to be such high costs.

My progress so far: i have met up with 3 designers and 3 contractors. Only given quotes for 2 of the designers which are in the range of $50-60k. A bit tad expensive and now i have to rethink about all that i want to do and where i can save money. Definitely having such expensive renovation is not very friendly to my wallet. Here are some pictures taken when i went to sign the OTP. Nice view and i love the quietness and yet convenient to mrt station.

i thought you bought electrolux microwave oven so also can buy same brand. how much was the oven? the one i saw was 899.

Why you didnt buy electrolux oven? There is one that is quite good too.

ya, finally i can go home too. seem like going to rain.

then order the big portion loh. the other day, i queued for 30 mins then only buy 1 plate. feel cheated... next time must order at least 5 plates, but not for me alone lah. hehehehehe.... ya, i think i will see those here then only go ebay to buy. hehehehe....

ya, its still a long wait. No choice cos i given the seller more time to so that he can reno his new flat so the 1st and 2nd appt was delayed as long as possible. After you go Ikea, let me know. if you think the quality is quite ok, then i might want to buy from Ikea too. hehehehe.... i think if can last 5 years, its worth it so every 5 years, can change new. just need a carpenter to change or if ikea things as easy to install as they say, i think we can do it ourselves too.

ya i think kitchen cabinet having lights really make it look classy. i think i will do the same too.

I love the wantan mee at lavender food court. So i think i can go there to buy the tab and eat my wantan mee. Ebay will sell tap? for $170, its cheap. i saw one costing nearly $1k and its not branded.

very beautiful!!! how much does it costs you to do this?? i like your toilet, you have given me the idea now. Thanks

I measured my windows, enough for 710mm ac. I also don't know why hdb just cannot get it right. Mine is old flat so main door too small for certain fridges then new flats too small windows for certain ac. Maybe in the few years both main doors and windows will be too small for everything.

I love both your taps, the kitchen sink and toilet. Where you get them?? Can pm me the price??

I am thinking of doing more drawers but that is more ex so maybe will have pull put baskets for casement cabinets. Still searching around since my reno only starts in march. Let me know what your contractor quote u thanks thanks

New lifts should be ok to fit in most things, right? If can fit king bed then will be able to fit most things.

How much does it cost?? But really convenient if u want to take out your pots and pans. If not much different and u love to cook like me then I think worth buying for your kitchen. Or else can install later on right??

I haven't check on the windows yet. I only checked the main door and had to buy a different fridge that can go through. My reno will only starts in march but been looking ard to buy stuff. Will check the windows next cos it's one of those things I never expect have limitation.

No no... Nearby rv, I am at McNair road. Hehe...

We are all talking abt 1million dollar hdb flat is achievable so in 10 years maybe 700k will really be 1mil?? Haha.... A bit scary hor???

My seller also bought CV, 5 room flat if I am not wrong. Cos the keys getting in jan/feb do my 1st appt also delayed a bit. But it is nice location and sure will go up in value so worth it lah.

I also didn't know aircon might be too big for window casement. I had issue with the main door where some fridge might joy get through. Now I have to check that aircon also the same.

Congrats in getting your own home. Lucky for you that you can start renovation soon. Keep posting pictures of the transformation.

ya, mine too. Its a bit too much for me.
