Sorry! Gonna disappear from Renotalk until my wedding is over! In the midst of preparing for our wedding in less than a month's time, and planning our month long honeymoon. Please forgive me! On hiatus until 1st December! Anyway contractor J&E has told me to advise everyone not to contact them for their services until next year because they are so packed, they can hardly breathe. HAHAH <-- They say one. Sorry! And thanks (:

Pm-ed you! Got it from Sofa is from Castlery and Tv console is from grafunkt! (: PM-de you! Spent about 2.5k? Alright. I understand your concerns. To answer your questions, I actually called HDB again and clarified from J&E. It is a must to engage HDB-registered renovation contractor if you are planning to hacking works. (Do check the FAQ section on HDB's website) Your fine of $5000 only applies to those who did illegal works such as hacking the ceiling in order to conceal the wires for lighting, etc. For any firm or contractors to register with HDB, they have to be in the industry for at least a year. So for J&E, they engaged their sister firm (Sub con) which is HDB-registered to do any hacking works. As of now, they will be HDB-registered in 3 months time. I would appreciate if you call J&E to clarify with them if you are interested because ultimately I'm not their ambassador. Information is so readily available, I was baffled why it wasn't understood. Regardless, they are now full and will not be taking any more projects this year. Also, they advised people who are afraid or scared should not engage them. So if you still feel apprehensive about it, I would suggest that you give J&E a miss. Honestly, when I engaged them I did call HDB to check and I got a green light. Could be the way the question was asked or understood. You scared me quite a bit there. Hope I answered your question.

Pm-ed you! Pm-ed you! Will upload it when I'm free! Really really tied up these few months due to my upcoming wedding...! Sorry! Pm-ed you! Pm-ed yoU! It was a bulk purchase with my neighbours. My neighbour was the one who had the contact. Will check with her and get back to you again!a I lost contractor A's contact when I dropped my phone into a bucket of water on 2 months ago! Nevertheless, Pm-ed you the name so you can try googling. Sorry, because I can only answer the questions which are easily answered, I'll put yours on hold. Have to find again since my phone dropped into a bucket of water two months ago.

Pm-ed you! Pm-ed you! PM-ed you! Pm-ed you! Pm-ed you! Pm-ed you!

Pm-ed you! Pm-ed you! My contractor had a huge piece of glass, and glued the thin strips of powder coated aluminum. It does not hold any weight of the glass. It is about 15mm - 20mm wide! Pm-ed you! They don't quote until they get accurate measurements from the actual site (: Pm-ed you. I found them here, in renotalk forum. Pm-ed you!

Pm-ed you! Sorry, I'm not sure. I did not liase with TB sellers directly. I used 65daigou agent! (: My contractors removed the metal cover, placed plaster board over the hole and cut out the vertical lines! (: Pm-ed you! (: Thanks! (: Pm-ed you! Thanks! (: Pm-ed you! Pm-ed you! Nope we brought it down to throw them away already ):

Yes! The light is bright enough for my living room and the wind is okay. I wouldn't consider it very strong but it is enough for me! (: Hi! I got it from Ambience Labz in Ubi! Pm-ed you (: Hi, The wind produced by the fan is okay. I wouldn't consider it very strong. There are stronger ones by fanco but we chose this instead. Nope! It is not noisy at all! I can only hear the wind if I switch it on to high speed. Pm-ed you! (: Thank you thank you thank you! (: Pm-ed you! Hope all goes well for you too!

It's Acorn AC-108 Black! Yes it does. Got it at $380? About there... From Ambience labz in Ubi. PM-ed you! PM-ed you!

Hihi! Thanks a lot! Yes we did. It was one of the tougher things we had to plan. We got our dining table from Castlery, Solid American Walnut! Hi! Pm-ed you! (: Hi! Yes it is! Do you mind PM-ing me the address I should send it to? We can liaise over PM! Hi! Pm-ed you! (: Hihi! Thanks a lot! Pm-ed you! (: Hi! Er... I don't know ley about the wardrobe and the kitchen cabinet actually. The price changes after each quote because we constantly asked for discounts. We looked at it as a lump sum and did not divide it into PFR. We bought the TV console as it was. So there is no PFR! Our flooring should be $6.90 psf! Sorry and hope these help! Hihi! Pm-ed you! Thanks so much! (: I bought it from Grafunkt! I love it too! Hi! Contractor J is the boss of CX reno. Nope they aren't. Yes they do provide 1 year warranty, but after that 1 year if there are any issues, you can still contact them! Hi spydy! Really sorry! Cleared em' mails already! Will pm you! Hi! Pm-ed you! Hope everything will go smoothly for you!

Opppps! Hahahahah Thanks a lot

Thanks XinYi88, My current house (parents') has a robot vacuum cleaner and we find it to be quite useless. Grateful for your suggestion though. Hope you find no offense in my personal opinion. What is PFR? Pardon my noob-ness at abbreviations on reno stuff! Pm-ed you! All done by one contractor! (: Thank you thank you thank you! (: He is already bombarded! HAHAHA! All the best to your reno! (: Pm-ed you! Hahaha! It's Rustic Light Oak from Woodculture, a subsidiary of Hafary! I didn't like it initially but what you said encouraged me and got me thinking again! Thanks a lot! (: Thank you DoubleEM! It's from Castlery! (: It is really comfy, no doubt! (: Sorry! I pm-ed you! I don't know how to email from here and I'm not comfortable sharing my email since it's mainly for work purposes! Hope the contact still gets to you! (: I understand what you mean! Initially I wanted the thick frames too but I didn't want my house to look bulky and clustered. I'm sorry but I'm afraid I really don't have the answer to your question! It costs about $3000+ including hacking, clearing of debris, making good, glass, aluminum frame and the door. Not sure if it's cheap! If you are engaging Contractor J like me, I told him I wanted the thin kind and this is what I got. So you can say the same! Sorry I can't be of much help... Thank you SaltedCaramel!! (: Nooooo! Thick frames are nice too! Depending on the theme you are going for! Industrial and Scandinavian theme would go well with the thick frames! I never knew the existence of such frames until it appeared in my house one day... hahaha!

It's handover tomorrow morning! Finally, we can clean up the dusty house. Even though they have already sent the cleaner up twice, it seems to be constantly dusty because everyone is renovating their flats. The playground on the ground floor is being constructed too! The house is actually done up, but my husband/fiance (Can't decide what to call him because our relationship is so ambiguous. It's like we have a flat, but we are not married yet hahaha. Fun.) I tried to take photos of the house, but I think they probably aren't doing justice to the actual works... Will take more on Monday after I clean the place up and put all my accessories into their places! I actually spent much more time choosing and buy accessories than the furniture. Furniture makes it a house. Accessories make a home! (: Meanwhile, it's 2 weeks to wedding photoshoot and I have so many things to do!

Thank you for your kind words (((: Makes me feel like all the hard work is worth it Thank you! My contractor did it for me! (: Pm-ed you! (: Thank you for your kind words! Pm-ed you! (: PM-ed you! (:
