Wow totally forgot I posted here! I went ahead with the renovation... Will be posting pictures soon and hope to get some feedback... Friends are saying I paid too much, and yet more friends who have landed and re-done their entire homes have said I saved about 10%-15%. A bit too late to cry over spilled milk (if it was indeed a bad decision) but just hope to share with everyone my newly renovated home soon!

Got a private message that posting in previous thread was wrong area to post so moving the topic here. Will be posting up the floor plan, before, and after photos.
Already moved in but only 90% complete so please be patient with the pictures! Also would love to get you opinions if I was overcharged or not (Read previous post) although if I was the damage has been done.
Lets begin with the floor plan!
We decided to knock down the store room, the kitchen wall, the wet area and the balcony doors and go for a more open look as the first hall/space can be a little narrow.
Will be posting pictures of the home upon receiving -> Could not post pictures of rooms because previous owner removed lights and hacking commenced immediately.
