Hi Elise, congrat to your new blog and new house, very challenging layout and I am looking forward to your reno progress, must upload more photos! By the way which ID you appointed?

Taobao as usual, not that because price is cheaper, but because I can combine with other stuffs that I will definitely buy from TB. By the way GMarket said the sofa will be sent by EMS direct from Korea, and it mentions that the sofa is manufacture in China, maybe you may like to check when you received the item, whether it is really sent from Korea.

Hmm... don't tell me you all copied my idea hur, I didn't copied yours LOL!

Hehe, wait to see the review before I buy...

depending on the frabics lo

Valarie, I just realised that you thought that roller blinds are plain white/grey colour?? In fact nowaday got a lot of fancy design already.

Ahh, this one nice leh, where to buy? I got problem with my aircon window also

Photos coming next... now concentrate on visitors preparation and also... office works ...

Renovation is indeed a good learning process for both my wife and myself, meeting the good guys and the bad guys, ofcoz we count ourselve to be fortunate enough to meet some good guys during the journey, so here are the nominated good guys. 1st person in my mind, the Supreme guy by the name of Kenny. Young chap, responsible and keep promise, these are the main characteristic of him. On the first day of hacking, we met him for taking site measurement, he accidentally touch the yellow colour water on the floor, yet upon finish, he still shack hand with me with a smile. Even he wasn't there during the installation date, but he never failed to answer my call when there are hiccups on the skirting. I have negotiated a lot with him, at last I think I got a very good deal Next, the painting uncle Peter. Another person that keeps promise. In fact we find that he is a bit slow, but what we understand is that the previous owner burned lots of incense in house, that's why the yellow stain keep showing up after two layer of sealer. Uncle also kind of complaint to me that he has to bought more sealer to cover the incense marks. Overall, suppose to be 2+1 (2 full days plus 1 touch-up) but take him 3+1. Jobs done quite ok for me, but some areas were not painted properly. In fact we have settled his fee right after the 3rd day even the main door has not been painted anything at all, but he kept his promise by showing himself yesterday, from his sincerity, we gave him a $50 extra as a token for his 3-days hard job. Price wise, definitely is one of the cheapest you can get in town. I am obviously promoting business for them, but I don't earn a cent by doing so, for me, good guys deserved to be shared , let me know if you need contacts. (p/s: the main actor, uncle reno, talked about him later, much later ok?)

Yes, Hitachi hammer drill borrowed from colleague. I am sure I hit metal, because when I drill on the beam at the other bedroom, can go in swee swee for 3-4cm

Thanks, I wish I knew this site earlier..

Last time my one very fast, I recall the reno uncle apply under my name on Monday, on Wednesday approve liao lo

A very tired weekend, here are some updates without pictures Saturday 1. moving house on morning till noon, realised that our stuff are not like last time anymore, thanks to my wife who buys but never throw 2. afternoon, wife cleaning the windows, me changing the door locks, putting up the crystal curtain, drilling holes. Realised that the whole beam are metal, drilled a lot of holes here and there still can't get the depth i want, at last decided to buy glue 3. evening, went shoping at Giant, walk there, coming back with taxi, loaded with over 10kg of things, all the 材米油盐酱醋茶 4. night, put on the glue, put on the screw, and put on the curtain, nicely done! Sunday 1. forced to go church as usual, this time round early in the mornning somemore 2. meet uncle painting at 11.30 at new house for touching up, then I starts putting up the picture frame, wife don't know what she did, always went missing 3. after lunch, driling for roller blinds (neighbours so good, drill on Sunday no complaint, tonight go there drill somemore ), realised that I got problem with the beam again, so no choice, put maxbond also.

WARNING to those who intends to use HOYOYO, they don't ship battery items, so anything with rechargeable battery cannot go thru them. I have my antique clock left over at the warehouse, now they are helping to trace the item, hopefully can find. Anyway, I would still recommend Hoyoyo, just that have to be careful when placing orders..

Jass, cannot click direct on the link, just help to repost the correct address www.sgalleria.com/Home_decor_custom_main(1).html By the way I think their stuff not cheap hur...

My LED bulbs for the track light starts to blink when turn on too long, too long means after 20-30 minutes. Electrician uncle said probably due to heat wo.. My other stuffs are ok so far, just the track light bulbs from 1 seller.

You can't hack right, so just overlay? Are you using Supreme?

Hmm... let's see... ah ha, wallpapers! I am free after this month For the curtain, maybe you like to consider roller blind, exactly the same size as the indented area

Mind to share where you get these information? I have a move in date but just curious to find out how auspicious is that date.

Hi, welcome to RT!! You sure you are on budget? I see the things you bought are very much expensive than mine leh... By the way wish you a smooth reno journey

Jass, comment on your taobao stuff, my led bulb for spotlight starts to give problem already.....

Hi jass, your house condition is very good, how you intend to Reno your house?

Ya, the agent will upload the volumetric of the item, if not you can ask them to calculate for you and you will see when you login.

Thanks, I thought there is a way to identify hollow tiles by eyes or hand, with tool? Err... maybe next time, anyway uncle reno said give us 2 years warranty mah.

Feel bad on your experience, but it is indeed true that no one will give you drawings unless you pay some $$$. There is 1 famous ID in renotalk by the name of Ben, try to contact him and see if you would have better chemistry.
