  1. Hi inthechouse! Read your t-blog and realised you have Alan as your contractor! We nearly sign him up for the job! Hope your reno will continue to run smooth! Anyway, for the "gaps between boxup & tiles", it started as we decided not to have any carpentry to cover the chute as we need more floor space for that area. So I was thinking, what if a roach manages to wriggle its way into our house? We would not be able to take it if it can crawl into any gap and lay eggs there!! Arghhh!! The thought of it really yikes me! And some of them don't even need a mate to reproduce.. To think about that, exactly every corner stands a chance, just that that area has the highest risk! Will share more when we start our carpentry in the kitchen. Most likely after CNY. Thank you for dropping by my t-blog!
  2. Pm-ed! Hope you will find the right person for your reno!

  5. On the 7th, met the electrician & ID. Discussed on where the points are and what switch to put. On the 8th, all are done! Followed by false ceilings, all done up today. All these while, tilers were busy tiling the access balcony and completing kitchen, common toilet & MBR areas. Windows for access balcony was up on the 8th. So were the toilets windows. We are really pleased with the speed of our reno is going till we feel that we may have delay it as we only confirm our toilet doors colours and wall paints today! Thumbs up for our ID who did all the coordinations and ensure things go well! So now, photos time! Kitchen Area - hollow blocks sealed up previous kitchen entrance and storeroom door (4th Jan) View of kitchen from access balcony 8th Jan - Tiling of access balcony; windows up! Kitchen tiling MBR toilet windows up! Plans sticked on hall wall to remind electricians & false ceiling guys...
  6. Side track here.. This morning we saw a patch of water mark under the trunks. My ID said he found a bottle of water spill over and he had cleared it. But he checked again after I asked if he's really sure. Found water droplets right underneath the trunks! Dunno if it's the air con bracket drilling not sealed properly or the bottle of spilled water.. Decided to get Gain City guys to come back on Monday to check.
  7. Now, another first world country issue... Can anyone share some ideas what can we do about these eyesore trunks? My dad suggested a mini box up but I doubt we will have the space to do so. I was thinking if we will need long curtains to hide these but I don't really like having long curtains.
  8. As for the air cons.. MBR Bedroom 2 Bedroom 3 Actually, we did not know the exact specs of our new air con system. Only after we got it, I realised it wasn't Starmex as I came across some posts from fellow t-bloggers here.. Not that I have any specific wants, just thought that it will be really useful for peeps (like me) who do not know there are actually '2' mitsubishi to read ~~http://www.renotalk.com/forum/topic/62505-top-kew-drive/?p=833728 ~~http://www.renotalk.com/forum/topic/53461-our-cosy-hideout/?p=755068 These two links are really useful for those who are still considering which air con to get!
  9. Latest update: 5th Jan - Air Con installation by Gain City. We bought Mitsubishi Daiya System 3 ~ Inverter (SCM60ZJS~3XSRK25ZJS). Had to get the bracket as well as the ex owners used an antique air con unit. In order to minimise the numbers of trunk running all over the rooms, my man decided with the GC guys to have them all at a corner. In the end, MBR has the most trunks And as for the old air con has to be removed, the GC guys patched up the hole in the wall for us. Antique AirCon After removal Patched work done The GC guys finished their job at this stage.. my goodness! Luckily after asking our ID for help, he got his guy to plaster up for us! Finished job! It is not perfectly even surface, but for sure, we prefer this than that woody art piece! Hope the patch work is well done and we will not have any water leaking through.
  10. Hi Newadventure, Mine is ID, not contractor. So do you still want the name?
  11. So far, our ID has been good & efficient.. *cross fingers He has been replying our whatsapp and checking/confirming with us before he orders stuffs/ starting with tilings etc.. Till date, only small misunderstanding once or twice but was settled very fast. I can't wait to see it all done as well!
  12. Hahaha! My man told me to quickly upload the photos after reading your previous reply regarding the permit. He said I'm confusing people. heehee Yup, I have always love to have a bright & airy home! So big windows is one of the musts to have when we were househunting.
  13. Hi Tessina, Actually we asked the previous owner if it's possible to hack that kitchen wall down. She mentioned that some units did. So we did our little research by going around the neighbourhood. Looking up from the void decks, I saw two units did the same. So we tried our luck for the permit, hoping that's legal to do so.
  14. Thank you for reading my t-blog! I was still wondering if anyone will read it..
