  1. adviseseeker, Sunnday, Gabelle,Ee, missyliz18 check your inbox guys/gals, i have sent you a PM. Leesayyeo, For the window grilles, i did not had anything in mind, i just tell the ID i wanted to do the windows grilles for the entire 4-room flat(900+) and a sliding aluminium windows in the kitchen(less 700), you can analyze the quote i have shared. For the design of the grilles, i I only got to see the end product. I think maybe it would be cheaper if you can get quote from direct window contractor. Anyway, the id told me that the windows grilles that could open inwards is not as durable as the sliding one.
  2. Apologies to all those who ask for the id contacts, i am really pretty busy on weekdays and everytime i login, i am swarm by the sheer number of the renovator requests. I would probably try to reply during the weekend. Anyway back to the reno, after receiving a text from the id, all the pre-fab carpentry items have arrived and they will able to resume work in my flat after about 2 weeks of not much action in the flat. I went down to the flat to snap a few pics despite working till late night. Here are some of the carpentry photos for sharing. ( A picture speak a thousand of words.) 1)Customized daybed carpentry come with storage cabinet - $1.5k ->This is one of the 'want' items in my renovation, really curious how the end product will turn out as this feature will take up a fair bit of space in my living room. 2)36ft color kitchen cabinet - $5k est -> Seems like another 'want' item after i added in another 7 ft of cabinet , guess my small kitchen would be come even small after adding 36 ft of cabinet. Hopefully this wouldn't cause my kitchen to be cluttered with "useless items" in the future due to the sheer number of storage. 3)6ft Customized wardrobe, abit "regret"' selecting this laminates to be different from the conventional woody and grainy wardrobe hopefully the end result will be good. 4)Pre-fab carpentry wardrobe, part of the 6 ft cabinet (Bottom half) 5)The alumminium door for the wardrobe. The sliding door is pretty heavy and is wrapped up, so i didn't manage to snap a picture of the design. ( Anyway i think i more or less also couldn't remember the exact design of the sliding i chose, although i could still recall there is a laminate finishing in the centre) 6)Could not really remember if this is my 3ft customized wardrobe as i believe the final design of the wardrobe is in another color - $650 It is getting pretty late, sharing of the pre-fab carpentry pics will stop for today, will upload the 2nd batch of picture when i have the time.
  3. Battle, check your pm. wroomwroom, this might not be true if you did not manage to engage the real "contractors." Nowadays, alot of the so-called contractor also charge about the same as what a reasonable id would charged. One must really have the necessary contact or know the "market/cost price", if not will be tio makan GAO GAO by the so called contractors and having to deal with many parties especially when there are damages on the renovation. Some contractors also "outsource" some of their works to other parties, so the cost-saving parts is only possible if you could get a "honest" contractor or the working party. Even for my reno, i think it could still be cheaper by at least another 15%, if i manage to get the contractor. (but i think very hard) Time for my renovation updates. I was initially disappointed when i make a surprise visit to the flat as there seem to be no "visible" changes in the flat but somehow the flooring is abit dusty and the flat is "stuffy." Just as i was about to leave feeling disappointed, i suddenly had the thought to "clean" the flooring. After i was done, i was . Could anyone notice the difference ? Take a look at the image below and compare it with the next image. Original condition at the start of the reno. Yes, yes, did you notice that there is a aluminium windows grilles and sliding window now. Sliding horizontal window grilles and sliding windows. I then realized that no wonder my flat is so stuffy and the flooring is abit dusty , it must be during the installation of the sliding windows and window grills, they closed all the windows. No wonder i am feeling stuffy as the entire flat has been 'boxed up.' The grilles for the living room Was amazed when i could open up the windows grilles this way, this could definitely make general cleaning of the windows much easier. Room grilles From this picture, it look as if there is no grilles. Lastly, presenting the main bedroom windows grilles Did you manage to observe that the grilles is different Lastly, did a check with id and he informed that all the carpentry items will be delivered on next week and requested that i get ready all the additional small small items that required installation. Looks like my renovation journey is really ending soon. Posting in the reno t-chat sometimes is pretty troublesome, have to upload pictures to the gallery and each post is limited to 6 images. Renovation journey so far is still pretty smooth-sailing, keeping my finger-crossed till the carpentry works is delivered next week.
  4. Do u feel good about the id? Do u think they are honest and there will no hidden costs after u sign ? Are you able to click and communicate well with him ?
  5. Neojava, have send you the id contact. There was no action in the flat last week as we have scheduled for the rest of the remaining carpentry and additional carpentry to be delivered at one go. After meeting up with the Mr Carpenter, he estimate he would be able to deliver all the goods by next monday 16/6 (that's if i do not add in any additional works at the last minute) and he will confirm further on with me this friday 13/6 if they could meet the timeline. They would require my presence on tuesday 14/6 to advice on some specific internals section of the wardrobe. Nevertheless, i will share the washing machines that we have bought. Initially, Missy was considering a Bosch but in the end, after some "PO-LO-SO" from the salesman, we narrow down between Samsung eco-bubble wash and LG Direct Drive Motor 6 motion wash. In the end, we settled for this LG model 1)LG WD Washing Machine 1480TDT - $770 http://www.lg.com/sg/washing-machines/lg-WD-1480TDT/reviews Lastly, i am wondering if anyone in RT have ever ordered furniture from TB (Like sofa, dining table and etc).
  6. Ahbao123, Check your PM. Neojava, have drop you a pm, the wardrobe carpentry iirc is somewhere about 250 pfr(iirc correctly).
