hi techaview, i noticed your toilet wall don't have tiles except for the mosaic one? is this observation accurate or not?

very classy

Hi reiki, are you also doing reiki healing? Can PM me your contractor number and estimated budget? Thanks a lot. Read some of your blog writings, quite interesting. Youre a good writer.

Hi stardust, congrats on your new place. I admire your tenacity painting your own walls. Seems like e whole family also bonded pretty well. Are you both pisces? Im also pisces. Haha. Anyway, can you pm me your contractor? Also around how much your reno cost is? I just need to get an idea of the damage to prepare funds! Thanks.

maybe normal veneer door better... heard about an ID talking about PD door... i don't know but i may be old fashioned. i like my door 1 piece, hehe.

Me too, i am just starting. Anyway, can i ask your opinion. Is it better to first live in the resale flat to get a feel of the whole place, really check what should be replaced and what can be retained, how the wind blows, where the afternoon sun is, etc? Then maybe after 1 or 2 months, you can be more confident how to renovate the place? Wonder if this is a good strategy or lame one?

hello bigbag, can i see photo of your new windows? how much will that cost? thanks so much

wow very stylish renovation. wish i could do half as good as you did. congrats!

hello techaview, glad to see your reno progress. i want to also engage a contractor instead of an ID... this afternoon, i went to IMM and talked to 3 ID shops there, I think they will all quote me 40K++. they were laughing at me when i said i only had 25K budget! anyway, if it's okay with you, is it possible to send me your contractor contact?

Hi schiz0id, thanks so much for the speedy reply. So around 1 week to get HDB approval. They probably get too many requests since we all love to hack. I guess it also feels good psychologically! Didnt know even hacking floor tile needs their approval?! Hmmm anyway good luck on the extension of door entrance. And thanks to you, i now know that ariston is an expensive brand i prob wont have budget for heehee.

Oh yeah, regarding hacking of walls and stuff, how long do you have to wait to get HDBs approval? Can just email them desired floorplan? Or must the ID/contractor be the one to ask permission? Does hacking make the project much more expensive? Sorry got so many questions. Im in the middle of space planning and i dunno if i want to hack or not. Im afraid it will cost more to hack so im incined to keep everything as is. Thanks again.

Hello. Wow progressing very well. Where did you buy ariston? I just went to harvey norman and they were selling mostly bosch electrolux. Din see ariston. Care to share how much the whole set is? More power on your jumbo.

Me too. Is it possible to PM your contractor? Mine will start in feb. Thanks a lot. Your design selection is v elegant.

Hello. We are starting to reno an EA soon too. Glad to see your tblog. By the way, how long do you expect to finish the whole reno? Is 6 weeks enough?

Hello! May I know how long the total duration of renovation work is? If we get the keys on Nov 15, the whole reno should be done in 6 weeks? Thanks for any tips.
