Zlia- not parquet, I am using laminated flooring instead- easier to maintain.

big_daddy- yes, I'm afraid so :unsure:

kriegs- the company that I went to have bathtubs sized just right for HDB toilets.

This week will be a slow week. I can't wait for next week when they start installing all the carpentry work.

The storage heater you will need to get to supply enough hot water to fill a bathtub cost about $250. Other than that, the bath tub itself I think its about $4-500, besides that, you will need your renovator to build you a base for the bathtub and also bathroom accessories and plumbing. I estimate the total cost should range from about $800-$1000 to add a basic bathtub. As for those that comes with jacuzzi, I am not sure.

The carpentry installation started yesterday.

I am adding a platform by the MBR windows- a place for me to relax and enjoy the view.

The cabinets and table I am installing for myself. Table comes with a built-in lightbox for drawing purposes.

The new switches I am using for the entire house.

Day 2 of carpentry installation. Everything is coming along very nicely. Some shots of the MBR. There will be a partition to separate the sleeping area from the full height windows. The partition will give me some privacy as well as provide an area to mount my TV.

The partition with the platform also gives me an area to sit and just enjoy the view.

This is the view from the study area as well as shots of the hanging cabinets and wardrobe.

The dinning area- which I want to have a very warm and cozy feeling. The full length bench cum console that runs along the length of the living room.

The kitchen area plus a shot of the slim hood that I am using. Only doing very light cooking, so a slim hood is enough to meet my needs.

So that's about all that I have to show. Will post more tomorrow when they finish the installations.

I am getting a fisher and paykel dryer from BD to handle the laundry drying.

Renovation is close to completion. All that's left to do is to fixup some defects, install the kitchen backsplash and faucet.

Here's a shot of the frosted glass door for the MBR bathroom.

I like how the frosted glass door allows natural light to flow through so I don't have to switch on the lights.

The decals used to camoflage the bomb shelter door.

Insanepoly, the idea of putting wall decals on the wall with HHS door is a good one! Should be cheaper than having a feature wall to hide it. :(
