I have 2 muffin trays (1 standard, 1 mini) which I can bring along. Im fine with sats/sun, 14th Jun for morning, provided that I have no other engagements on. So must confirm the date then I can bookmark it for baking session. LLhome is not bringing her ginger, says will be troublesome to bring ginger which I can see why as ginger is a big dog, hard to get transport if she can't get transport. I also don't have a dog carrier for summer so how to take transport? So if you want to have it at her place, you might want to co-ordinate with her? X|an you can bring your doggie along right? Just dogsit can liao hee

T.Mandy, yes possible to diy but downside is you need alot of time to put up the decals slowly and make sure no air is trapped under the decals, got to smooth it down. Plus if wall is uneven & rough, need to clean wall and smoothen it flat a few times compared to even and smooth walls. You do not need to have ful pict, maybe a partial pic which might be cheaper? I did a partial pic on my walls also. Its still cheaper than doing wallpaper that is.

Hmm, can put inside the cabinet with food stocks on it???

No worries about that part. 'Cos after touching up, they will have to do another round of cleaning, ie; has the 2nd round of chemical wash been done yet? Uusually its done after the house is done and before furniture can come in.

It's ok la, sure when I get my hands on my hubby's lappy.

Np, hope it is of help to you enjoy the process of DIY painting though.

Eh, pei fu for what lol, nothing special just paintworks ma. Reno is more or less done for major areas, just left with 2 rooms to do up in spare time. hehe We've been taking our sweet time. hehehe I also lub the look too. At first my mum was asking me why my baby's legs so short and looked quite funny as an x-breed when I brought her home. Now, she's more at home and getting fatter on short legs.

Nice place esp the living room. Painting is very tiring right? still need touch ups esp at the base of the wall & you need some art brushes used in school for touch ups better. Btw, your MBR has laminated or paraquet flooring? As the skirting is the obstacle due to the white sealant to seal up any gap btwn the wall and skirting unless you want to cover the white sealant too....Cos to touch up the base of the wall, must make it seamless in line to line with the skirting top so that the paintworks will stop at the base in a straight line.

Like some forumers mentioned, if you and your family have the time to DIY painting for the house, then you guys can go ahead with it. Any ocassion be it CNY or not, its also up to you based on your preference. But its not advisable if you don't have alot of time & rushing to move in asap. Then you guys will be in a real rush to paint this and there. Plus you need to take leave to oversee house matters too. Besides house painting will take you about 2 weeks - 1 month depending on your pace. So again it is also up to you to decide if you want to engage a contractor or house painters to do the painting

That why I say Patrick's workers are fast when it comes to tiling. I also was as surprised at the speed in just 1 & 1/4 days for the tiling to be done for balcony and kitchen flooring + main door kerb at my place. Really neat the tiling works too.

Hmm insecticide paper can keep out ants or not? Have been seeing small army of ants invading my kitchen lately, think its all the baking stuff I have at hand. lol. But lucky all the stuff are sealed up in ziplock bags inside the cabinet for the time being.

Guess that my consolation is that I didn't pay too much for the cabinets in my kitchen though. Its the solid surface that cost more other than the laminates. Or else I will go big time for not doing sink concrete support later on when cabinet spoil a few years later. lol

Checked the rooms, can't see any obvious signs of hairline crack although my hubby say he saw a few small ones. Living room has 1 hairline crack below the DB box. HDB flats are unevenly plastered when it comes to patching up work ma. Bo pian also.

Ya was wondering who would look after the dogs? Maybe brownmse? LOL. Ranval, being an SQ ger is not easy le. see if greycat ok with 14th June. x|an, wanna go for the baking session?

Thank you! I love my ger ger to bits.

Heh the 2nd dog pix looks cheeky. what breed? Yup have pix at my blog here.. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?s=...st&p=285736

Kekeke np le, I like mini schnauzers too. If I had my way, I would aim for one for my next baby. I am too greedy 'cos I love dogs~ Currently have a crossbreed (Mix of Shih tzu & cockeral spaniel) at my parents place now.

Hmm nothing is concrete about the date, got to fit the date where everyone can attend? Ranval, which sats can you make it other than the 14th June?

Green is an ok colour so long as can be balanced out with other colours. Dark colours wouldn't suit cos looks a little tad moody, would be more nicer with brighter colours like white. Did tell you that I took my photoshoot already. Deric is my photographer as mentioned before. Photos are not in the computer cos they're in the other computer currently taken by my hubby now. Hehehe.

Sorry late reply cos i went out for a short while just now. Btw, here's nivlek's t-blog http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11562

His dog le cos he bought the dog even before we know each other & start dating. Plus the dog is more inclined towards my hubby more than me.

What I mean is in some cases, they prepare support so that they can hold together with the top for the time being to ensure that whatever's been applied to the sink to stick to the top.. got to hold for daily use ma. I also not sure 'cos I never do any concrete sink support. Wasn't even sure if concrete support could be concealed behind doors or not until I saw one of the forumer's sink concrete support being concealed behind doors without showing any hint that got sink support le. Too late to put up any concrete sink support.

Okie, so June sounds the earliest month for baking session if any. LLhome is fine with saturdays cos sundays is family day. Maybe we have it on saturdays only? how?

No worries, got to live with our choices. bo pian. haha but mattress thick or not? Can KIV next time

Hehehe on leave for this week sia. so Im orbit free to experiment with the flavours for cupcakes till the baking session at greycat's place.
