hi Devin & Himalaya, already mentioned Mr K's contact in my post as well as how much i spent on my reno

hi Bc11o8, nope it doesnt ...tt ones i purchased separately..also depend on wat u r looking for..

Hi yrrwys, thanks for noticing. True, even Hubby told me what kind of Reno Forum I've got, lately talk talk talk talk but no pictures! Pictures speaks a thousand words! But when i asked him to update the blog, he immediately fell asleep! Probably now K is checking the fine details of our unit before proceeding to 2nd & 3rd coat our walls and wash our floor. So nothing much to report. Also Furniture Selection Boo-Boos were plenty as some of the items we choose were either to huge or cramp up the room. Why do they look so 'normal' in location, but explode in size in our unit?!? Heh~ Had to return, exchange & make adjustment for our furniture selections, probably thats why the focus is more on our puchase than the reno. But no worries, heard my Kichen Sink and Hod are in place, will update the pics anytime soon! Again, thanks for noticing and Happy Hunting for that perfect Contractor for your unit & more importantly, furniture to suit your taste and home size!

Dont remember paying a fee to HDB to hack the walls but had to wait for quite some time for them to approved it. Probably no need to pay if hack small small area? And Yes ive got HDB tiles and overlay it with laminate for some parts of the house. Brick Wall; Floor Laminate of Living Room & Master Bedroom; Partial hacking of Bedroom wall; Cement Screed for Kitchen; Carpentry for whole house, Paint job... totaling about $30k, with the bulk going to carpentry, and Brick Wall and Lamintes coming a close second! Initially i just told him what i wanted first, quoting homes like Palemo's and Bigbull's as examples. He then gave me a rough quote based on my floor plan. As it was way over our budget, we minus out a few things with Mr K's help, to still make it as close to what we originally intended visually. Then he'll view the unit and give a more finalized quote. I basically bought my own lights, fans and other accessories like hood, hob, toilet sinks, etc and got Mr K to install it. Mr K discuss with me the necessary accessories i needed to puchase on my own, and he will help me to fix them up. And his contact is Kevin: 90222321. Check out his FB at H2O Interior Renovation as well. Happy Hunting!

Mr K did both my capentry and wirings. Only thing is you'll have to purchase the lights that you want on your own and K will install it for you.

PMed you~
