So far renovation costs is estimated to be $30,000 = +/- not sure yet as along the way i might change something.

So far - after i started going amok buy buy buy, my damage is:

1) Comex - Panasonic Plasma 42" - $2499 - comes with 3 years + 2 years extended warranty free and $100 robinson and $200 NTUC voucher FREE

2) Went to Lookz today and bought a **** lot of things - I felt it was **** lot, but my ID told me it is not so. My damage there is $2500 with bathroom wares, accessories, heater and a kitchen sink.

Other damages awaiting to materialise:

1) Fridge ($800) + Washer + Dryer ($1200) = $2000

2) Hob + Hob = $700

3) Aircon = $2500

4) Bed + mattress from Ikea = $900

5) TV console $500 + Dinning Table $1,000 + Sofa $1,000 = $2500

6) Electrical wiring + rewiring = $2000

7) Roller blinds = $800

8) Other barang barang $1200

Total damages waiting to materialise: $12,600

Total estimated renovation (move-in) $12,600 + $2,500 + $2,499 + $30,000 ~ $48,000!! Man am i crazy or what? :jawdrop:

Congrate of your new home.... hope U have a happy reno...

the rat is really scary... saw two rats running about when we were having our walk last Friday... was telling my HB that one of my classmate who stayed at the 5th floor also saw rat in the house many years back...didn't know that now the rat can even appear at 6th floor... so the bottom line is if the house is dirty ... there will be rat...

Reno is a pain and have such massive headache. My contractor said i cannot start work so soon - as the hdb permit takes three days!! Sob!!

Euuhhhh....5th floor rats have further up and getting bolder!! This is really the first time in my life to see rat in an apartment! Thought the days of the rats running in homes are gone...

Disinfect disinfect!!

Hi monsieurlee :dunno:

I found out that the rat you mentioned in your earlier posts, is also known as the sewer rat. My BIL (who works in a pest control company) told me that even cats are afraid of this kind of rat. In order for the rat not to come back again, in case it finds that someone has invaded their territory, it's best to remove any trace of their scent (their own urine, faeces, fur, nest, etc.) from all the floors and walls with diluted bleach (with detergent) solution, as soon as possible. I was told that its urine can affect one's health, due to the bacteria. And if someone is bitten by such rat, better straightaway go to doctor to get rabies & tetanus shot. Look out for dirt markings on the wall, approx. the height of the rat. Follow the lines and it will lead to where it nests. Usually this kind of rat is very garang one, and has the ability to climb up the electrical risers and sewer pipes.
