Ks Toh, Thanks for the info. Didn't know too...

the old antenna box can't be removed, options that my id did was to box it up.

...almost there... 25th Dec (Movin in)

Tell your hubby no worries, my wife too been convincing me that the money for builts in about ($1400 x 3 = $4200) for my case, that's a lot of money that can be use for rainy days. Looking at the economic projection, 2016/17 will be very very slow... we got to spend wisely

Thanks, the color was chose by my daughter. Everyone's looking forward too. Today end of Week 3, laminate tiles. No Builts in No worries. lol. The money can generate elsewhere.

Welcome resale flat owner, all the best!

Your house progress is looking good bro

We decided not have any builts in, so that we can shuffle merchandise here and there. Existing tiles is super retro but we'll do overlay of laminate flooring. Cabinets, merchandise of room items will all be purchase off shelves

Mid of Week 3, Painting Went to visit today before heading to work. Already started painting 1st coat. Super excited. These are the kids moodboard samples

Hi, Fridayleong, definitely spacious for 3kids and different look. me looking forward too

The work in progress (time management) so far so good. With the photos my id updated, I decided to head down to QC with my 'Minister of Home Affairs' after work. Boy, was I excited once I open the door, to see 70% is done. Not bad for tight datelines. However going through with my 'Minister of Home Affairs' there's lists of things that we still have doubts. Of course, no matter how small or big the renovation amount is, money is still money and worksmanship have to be good rite? I send the lists as instructed by 'Minister of Home Affairs' thru whatsapp but have yet to received reply. Hope that problems will be rectify.. I've calculated that the amount from $38,300 shoots to $43K plus. With some unforeseen circumstances along the work in progress.. BRB

Scarlett, unless your quotation include plastering, if not can ask them for favours. DIY is to use wall putty.

All the best

Week3

Thanks Scarlett, it's worth maintaining even with 3 kids.

Starting of week 3 will be carpentry. Will updates again. - Was at Spotlight(Plaza Singapura) and they do have pretty good SALE. Love the blinds

Good Morning everyone, Its beean awhile since I post something.. recently between week 2, my Id came across living room and common room wall is soak/wet due to heavy downpour. He advise me to call town council to look into the matter as the inside house as we are about to do sealer and yet there's patch of wall that is soak with water. - Called Town Council Wednesday morning with regards on external waterproofing. Received call back Wed evening to confirmed and Thursday morning they will come to rectify the problem. -Thursday/Friday they have managed to sealed external waterproofing all around. Good Job Fengshan SMC (East Coast GRC)

Hi Ks Toh, The previous pipes is so old, that I was thinking to wait for Hdb Home Improvement Programme to have change. However my Id highlighted that I was no point waiting as it is leaking. I thought of saving some $$$ but somethings are not worth savings, as such I post and say its definitely worth the $$$ to change. Hope I answer correctly.

Does anyone bought this before?

When is your renovation starts? Mine starts on 24th November and was promised to handover by 24th Dec. Good luck to us!

Sure do Lazyfatcat007, once the id updates me, I will update here.. Ohh btw why there's always hiccups during renovation... eg, "Oh, this tingy need to remove or change if not etc..." sounds familiar? On my Whatsapp grp, I do highlight on budget that at times... I cant stretch my budget... glad he understands.

ya, heard that newer Starmex are made in Thailand, the slightly old ones are from Japan. Still due to my tight $$$ I intent to get these... any reviews?

It's been about 2nd week now. Tiling of kitchen and toilet is up. Plastering of all walls is done. Need to do sealing. Next itinerary will be. 1. Electrical run/installation entire house. (was quoted $3.4K) did minus here and there to $2.8K 2. Lbox 3. Plumbing for water 4. Kitchen Cabinet 5. Installation of toilet bifold door/ wc/basin/heater and accessories 6. Laminate floor 7. Painting

Gooday Scarlett, Good to know the good news and congrats on your new house. Seems like when WE resale buyers try as much to save cost on what can be salvage, there's always conditions of items that are not able to be saved... I guess due to the conditions of resale flat that are 30plus yrs...and most of the contractors/Id's they want the best for us home owners to stay for long without back & forth.

when you have the means, anything is possible to what concept we want. Since I do have a budget, I just want to share my moodboard perhaps with the correct merchandise / furniturepretty much the same if I were to achieve as my moodboard.
