    To @greenbunny .. I can't send you a PM. Your home is beautiful. Mind sharing with me your ID? Thank you, in advance. ----------- To @mmoh, Thank You for setting up this page.

    Hopefully not too late to join the bandwagon in congratulating you. Indeed, if I am guessing it right, the property is at a very convenient area! Lots of shopping area within walking distance and so much future development around the area. I have always liked the development. Am having a friend staying there too. Happy reno!

    Beautiful house and beautiful cavalier! What a beautiful breed!

    Hi Sarah, My apology, do PM me again. BTW, does this proofing really minimize sound? Another contractor replied my enquiry, with quote of more than $2K and advised me to install not sliding panels but the swing-type window. How was yours done? TIA again.

    Think it is good to assign the powerpoint to each gadget to have a clearer picture as to how much you need here, provided you have no intention of getting extension plugs. Gadgets that I off-hand think of: 01. Modem 02. Terminal Point for Fiber 03. TV 04. (Will there be any media player?) 05. (How many PCs / laptops?) 06. (Will there be a printer?) 07. (Will there be any floor / side table lamps?)

    Thanks sarah833. One contractor quoted me $1,950 just for 4 panels, which I think is too expensive. Greatly appreciate if you can PM the contractor. Thanks!

    I need help from kind Reno forumers here again. Anyone here did soundproof windows? How much is the cost for one room? I am thinking of installing it for my Guests' Room (the windows as in the pic).

    Haha, the rug was from Ikea and self-made by cutting it to fit the floor. Because of the space contraint, there was no right size/toilet mat fitted for that space - had to resort to DIY. It's good to hear that your MBR bathroom issue is resolved.

    Try pandan leaves and/or bread to get rid of the strong smell.

    I had space constraint too when renovating my place and went ahead to shift the toilet bowl. Doing so, the leg space for the right leg is cramped with little space (as the picture shown here): It was what my architect designer proposed. Though it was with heavy heart to go ahead, looking back it was the right thing. It was just a matter for me to get used to it. The reason was to create a space for the shower area. As in the picture below, the glass door of the shower area swings into the shower area. It can't even swing all the way in but enough to get me inside.

    What a lovely sight! .. Those cats and the painted aircon boxing. Thumbs up.

    I will opt for diagram 2 - shift the toilet bowl and do away with the main door.

    I am in favour of using drawers for kitchen cabinet and glad that I heed my ID's advice to do so. It is good that you have planned the details. When I agreed to the drawers for my kitchen cabinet, my ID made sure that I measured the heights for all the kitchen stuffs including the drinking cups, rice cooker, rice container, etc .. and even the cooking oil. About the piped gas, it was a lesson learnt for me too. Somehow, the old flats in Jurong area are not yet equipped fo "enjoy" the amenity. I had the exact same surprise and disappointment. Glad that you found it out now and able to make provision. Another reno tip that I learned from my ID .. while it is good that you are making plans to shop around for furniture, do note about the size of your space. Luckily for me, my ID would always insist to have the measurement of the furniture so that she could put them into perspective. She would translate the measurements - the furniture and the space in the house, into her technical drawing to let me "feel and see" how it would turn out.

    We all learn everyday and "Thanks" to you, arturobinewski, I learn something new -- Memphis Movement. *paiseh*. Such an interesting concept and I am certain, with so much of your love and interest in Memphis Movement, it will be a beautiful home. Do post more pics! :good:

    In my case, it was done during the renovation period. The carpenter had to dismantle the door. Hence, it was a day where there was no main door as it had to be brought to the factory. My original door was the old HDB fire-rated type where there was some design on the surface. The carpenter stripped away the 'design' as I wanted a plain simple door. It was then laid with new laminate. I believe your carpenter should be able to do it.

    If your existing door is already fire-rated, how about re-laminate it to save the cost? I did that to my main door and gotten the carpenter to 'scrap away' the design to make it into a smooth layered door.

    Interesting to read about the wood postings. I do agree that the type of woods used is essentially important, particularly so when the costs to build the cabinets can be costly and factoring the durability down the years. When I was renovating, my ID got the carpenter to do a sample, just for that peace of mind. BTW, is it possible for me to have the contact of your carpenter, Mr & Mrs Chua? TIA. Happy reno, kovan4us.

    Ah, looks like Rinnai has come out with RB-2Gi black tempered glass top plate. I have been using Rinnai RB-2CG ceran glass top plate for the last seven years. So far so good and the inner flame does speed up warming/cooking. Cleaning is also easy and everything that's non-attachable is easily washable. I believe the glass is lifetime warranty.

    Indeed, this is a good tip kaisermisaki. One problem with old HDB is always the ceiling (of your neighbour directly below). Getting to know their condition before any renovations helps a long way.

    Nice reading your blog. Indeed, you are very meticulous and that's a mark to a beautiful home. Congrats that the walls hack has also been approved. Re-defining your area will only make each designated areas bigger and spacious. Looking forward to see your beautiful home here.

    I need help from our kind Renotalk members here. As much as I have been reading the forum to search for the needed information, I am not getting what I am looking for. A friend is urgently in a process of re-doing her kitchen cabinet. While I have provided her my carpenter contact, she wants to get more quotations. To those who are very pleased with your carpentry workmanship (particularly the Kitchen Cabinet), I would appreciate it if you could PM me the contact number of your carpenter (not ID). Thanks in advance.

    Nice! I love the whites in your 'Little London'. I saw that you have lots of drawers in your kitchen. Pethaps, it is synchronicity, I have a friend who is planning to re-do her kitchen cabinet with lots of drawers. Is it possible that you PM me your carpenter contact? Enjoy the new house. Thanks in advance, .

    I have PMed you twinklecloud. Hope you get a good price.

    Hi twinklecloud, The aircond company that fixed my place has been with me since day one. I am not sure of their pricing but I must say that there workmanship and after-sales service are superb. They have always been very responsive. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/topic/13602-the-reiki-sanctuary/?p=718598- When this happened, they were very concerned and assisted all the way to resolve it. Thankfully, up to today, the problem is not resurfacing. PM me if you are interested to call him for quotations.
