haven try your ID la..if this ID =CMI after revised quote, then no choice liao.. hunt hunt hunt, if can find, please let me know hor!! thanks ehhh..in layman terms: veneer - smooth designer like doors nyatoh - those 1 look you see is wooden doors painted with lacquare la actually i think nyatoh door is good enough la but veneer looked more fashionable and stylist, chio chio armani leh my current flat also nyatoh door, think you check 1st page for my pics to see if can see the doors or not... pardon me for my lousy ang moh

hahh haven confirm him la, still no signs of his revised quote yet leh..he said wed wor.. wait lor most quotes 35K + he is quite creative and sincere la so if others also same price with him, then the possibility of engaging him is higher la.. doors contact? i meant doors for our rooms leh..i saw in the other thread about nyatoh doors which located in sungei kadut but when asked for address, no replies leh..does anyone have any idea about that? if i can get those $150++ door then it would be much more cheaper lor but of course veneer nicer

sound like a good idea to use dryer and i got valid reason to tell my husband to buy 1 but hor..storage got problem leh..how to position?? you can see my current washing machine? (is behind the sink) where to put the dryer huh? if put at cabinet there then i got not enough cabinets wor.. btw, what is the difference between gas dryer & normal dryer?

i dun need big kitchen but i need more storage as i am moving from 4room to 3room thats why having more cabinets for storage. me got 2 furry kids only..keke that means my solid top cost 990 / 13ft = $77psf? you are so fortunate that father in law know about such, my side all no idea wan leh..got to look for info ourself. i dun mind nyatoh door for main door, just like the 1 i am having now..maybe can talk to him about this..btw, went to besglas today at IMM, was thinking if i can find cheaper bi-fold door for toilet..wow their cheapest was $320 only acrylic material and not even glass.. hahha definately more cabinets for me, no choice leh, i got no more space liao doors not possible as the flat is super original, 20+ years old liao..you got any contacts to buy doors? TV console how to explain to him simple huh? even if i say 1 piece of wooden plank he also charge me the same as this is consider designer rite..kekekke i already told him i wanted simple and zen look liao lor..he still add mirror / glass insert but he said can deduct little $ if i want him to remove..i wonder how little that sliding door for WIW really cost alot..i will consider..keke shoe cabinet too..just saw some nice 1 at beehive gave up on study room liao, far too expensive for us, buy outside cheaper you are welcome to chap many legs!! really ah, i dun mind if HDB can change for us leh..i go check, any news will let you know my ID quoted me about $77psf for solid top and you mentioned that market rate for granite top is about $80-85 per foot..so if i tell him i wanted china granite and scali he charge me more..sianz liao lor actually i dun mind from which country as i am only a maggie mee cooker hahahah as long as look nice and can last, i am still ok to clean the top everyday as this is not a difficult job lah but i also read somewhere that they dun suggest take dark colours as scratches are very obvious? i cant remember from which thread le.. welcome, later better than never ya i think i "ransacked" your blog before also le..you have a very sweet GR rite? think i saw her picture but i cant remember were you the 1 with pool table in your house?? **SORRY eyes tiak stamp, saw in your signature liao cos i was searching for people with their reno done by ideal house..how would you rate them in terms of the workmanship? will i have the honour to visit your house if convenient? hahah i very thick skin wan hor..i want to see your doggie also leh cannot dun plaster le, super original condition and nothing ever done, very old looking flat..my ID is Danny wor..ever heard about him? but mine 3 room need $30+K which if compared to others seem like on the high side leh..am i really doing too much things last resort also cannot send them to pet hotel leh, i cant bear, duno they will bully my dogs or not..as per bunbun suggestion, we are having the idea to move in during reno lor, just stay inside 1 room 1st..bo bian wor good idea also but in terms of fengshui got any effect or not huh? cos the door open tong balek way liao wor but i was think the distance between the WIW n door cannot make it as there will be little extension of the WIW wor

hahahah you know i know was thinking that also, just mount LCD to wall hor..the feature wall & console is 6ft each...or i was thinking is it safe to buy from ikea those suspended console and attach to wall? i got problem leh cos my boy very "itchy" when he sees legging..he will mark on it wan leh..i him also no use, he no scare leh..so trying not to get items with legs my husband also wants the living room to look nicer = spend $ lor do you mean nyatoh (duno how to spell le) doors? how much was your reno quote? FOC 20ft is top & bottom leh, total length including the L-shaped is 26ft wor (this is wat ID said) so got to pay add 6ft..then i was thinking how do they measure huh? is it from 1 side till the end, then from the end part to the other side? if like that we lugi leh cos is double charges for the L corner right? you mean i go and buy doors myself and ask the people to install huh? where got lobangs? any contacts to give me? ask you all huh, he say if the resale flat DOOR FRAME if metal then need to change, if wood dun need wor..is it true? cos frame cost another $120++ and if we dun change, they will paint it over or wat? will it looked very weird? painting consider cheap after asking him to reduce saying we just need 1 colour..lolz initial quote was $1050 ya HDB main door doesnt need to be fire rated, almost all contractor i went to said no need wor..a fire rated door + frame cost more than 1K++ think market either 1/2 hour or 1 hour fire rated..dun need la, if got fire, CD come within 5 mins liao, where need 1/2 hour..kekekek just for laugh what is the market rate for solid top? maybe i ask him for granite la..was thinking of curtain for WIW..but nice curtain la..cos the door is costing so much leh..not intending to hack common room cos we might have frens staying over or parents coming over leh, then they no place to sleep le ya hor, built in cant bring with you leh..let me think think.. btw, he quoted me $260 for the rubbish chute and thanks for bluefly & goalhome, i told him $99nett can get liao..wow his eyes big big and told that cost price already $100 then suddenly he just put FOC...lolz what else? pls help
