Huhu.....more issues. My contractor just installed my 2 slifing door. It seems got miscommunication. Carpenter did not install door frame, just 2 pieces of the sliding door. sigh....

Hi Jus4, I do have my fair share of hiccups and drama. But since my ID was willing to fix them, i guess case closed lah. more pictures... I think I may have chose a wrong color for my platform, it was installed today. Also destoryed some of the newly plastered wall when I asked my AC contractot to move the trunking to flush against my glass panel. huhuhu... Before After

Thanks makanology & niko. My reno will be done by this coming sat. Can't wait to move in.

wow, surely one of the best decor on T-Blog I reckoned... a very dedicated and hardwork and lots of thoughts put in by the owner of the hse.

View of my MBR from entrance.

my toilet, wanted a SPA look. still waiting for my sliding glass door and fixed panel.

Fast forward to present......... main kitchen cabinets already up. Hood mounted at a wrong height therefore need to move up 7inches. I think the warm white really brings out the texture on the laminate. see the masking tape on the floor (left) need to build a 3 inches wooden platform as the are is not enough to fit my new P&R bar dinning table.

not exactly a straight veiw and you can see the pipe are gone . ( far left corner of the picture).

Ugly pipe in the kitchen... box it up with partition board.

2.5 days of false ceiling work finally completed.

more pics of my 24 BTU Sharp 3-1 system. only system in the market with overdrive at 30BTU. powerFUL. False Ceiling: for safety reason and HDB compliance, I have insisted my contractor not to cover up the city gas pipe (from entry point to kitchen). Guess what very ugly! Updated status 24 oct 2013....No more ugly city gas pipe! Yeh!

It has been 3 weeks since my last update. Was busy with work and work, who doesnt?? Well my reno is almost in completion stage now. Re-wind, 3 weeks.....some mistake from me! Went out and got my own AC guy. nicely boxed up.

Quickly went over to Changi rd and bought my WC and stuffs. My ID said will be needing them by this coming monday.

more pics... i am only screeding the kitchen walls. base layer and even off the walls. Finally.....since 23rd sept started hacking, this is now! I think i will be taking long shower and poo sessons.hehehe...

Tks Jus4fun. information Sharing....5 types of cement were use and 1 type of latex based chemical for water proofing. Progress was super fast.... hopefull the cement are properly cured before the tiles are laid. wow...everything in lightning speed....3 days worth of work!

3 days of work, hack & clear debris & delivered raw materials. PS.contractor save cost by using 3 ton lorry to clear debris and not the expensive "dump bin".

hahaha....warzone. love it. finally can see progress.

Yup, in fact the min height were not met by the previous owner. Fan claimed by my friend.

Previous owner Ikea Kitchen Cabinet.... HACK! the only thing in the hse that i am keeping is the timber strip flooring for the hall & rooms. the rest will have to go! I HATE CEILING FANS...gives me the headaches. throw as well.

Learned this from the t-Blog, so just follow lah... Learned this from some temple helper, so again just follow lah.. This was all done on the 2 sept when I got my keys to the hse.

I use microsoft excel to do this initial layout to scale. easy process takes about half an hour. Please bare with me as this blog is going to be a summary of what i have done in the last 3.5 mths. Anyway more pictures will be posted soon but just to Jump the gun...23rd Sept is the HACKING days! Yeah!! title---BS = Bedok South, as i have always been an east side guy!

Well, having talked to 3 ID and 1 contractor (my friend's relative). 1) ID 1---min 45K 2) ID 2---min 30K 3) ID 3---min 30K 4) contractor--min 27K. After much condisderable, i finally decided on ID3. well, the reason was ease of communication and 2nd ly it kind of fits my budget without sacrifiyng much of what I wanted for my reno. From this short listing process, I reckoned the profit margin for any 1 particular reno project is between 25% to 40%. (My gut feel as a seasoned contract/proposal reviewer in my job)..........my 2 cents.......

Wow quite a few steps in order to post pics, especially using a galaxy note to blog. stay tight for some pictures soon.
