Day 7 - Commence tiling at the front door and built a wall at kitchen New built-up wall at kitchen (eventually, my fridge will be placed behind the wall)

Thanks ayazumi and tankee for your advice. I'll check with my ID. By the way, how often do you meet your ID or get updates from your ID during the renovation process?

Oh, I presumed those were cracks... Lucky I have not complained to my ID yet...

I noticed some crack-lines on my MBR bathroom wall tiles...

Day 5-6 - Commence tiling in both bathrooms Common bathroom MBR bathroom Living room Kitchen

My ID quoted $450 to overlay the bomb shelter tiles with the same tiles as my living room. Sounds crazy expensive to me for such a small floor area and it doesn't even involve hacking away the existing tiles. At such a price, I don't think I will be going for it.

There was a Grohe sale last week. I bought the following items from Heritage (Geylang Lor 44): Sink for master bathroom Kitchen faucet 2 rainshower sets for both bathroom All these items have a 5-year warranty!

Also went to Lite Fusion (at Upper Serangoon) to look at bathroom accessories. So many to choose from.... headache.. Thought the $56 towel rack (top right hand corner of this photo) looks quite reasonable so I bought 2! As for the toilet paper holder, not too sure which one to get as I'm concerned that water from shower area might wet the toilet papers.

Went to Hoe Kee (along Genting Road) today and saw this granite sink that's on sale $399! Considering to get it as it matches my white kitchen top. Also saw this basin cabinet going for $328. Thought it is a bit expensive.

Day 4 - Completed removal of debris

My ID told me that for our living room cove lights, it's just an on / off function without dimmer. Is this the norm?

Pondering if I should change the Bomb Shelter floor tiles...

Updated floorplan

Day 3 - Hacking completed. -Lights activated -Removal of debris in progress Floor tiles have arrived Common bathroom Corridor of bedrooms

Day 2 - Hacking of living room and kitchen (continued) MBR toilet Corridor of bedrooms

Thanks Akitsuki, I intend to have an open concept kitchen

Day 1 - Hacking of living room and kitchen (Sorry about the quality of the photos. Took them with my iphone in the dark)

Started this T-blog to share my reno progress and I may need some advice along the way. Here's the floorplan.

I'm wondering if I should get a shower screen or if I should just use a shower curtain. How true is it that shower screens may be hard to maintain? (e.g. mould may be hard to remove (especially along the edges), water stains) If the shower curtain gets mouldy, I can replace it with another one because it's cheap. Please share your experience and advice. Thanks.
