Often, we wonder how long does it take for a renovation to finish? We feel that our renovation has been dragging too long and there is still no indicative date for a handover. It has now more than 3 months - haha, it is 3 months and 6 days to be exact

All over the house, there are still some works to be completed.

Anyway, sharing here some of the renovation pictures:

Carpentry works in Dining Area. The wardrobe, right of picture, is basically to conceal the aircon trunkings.

Our new gate:

The Study Area and the kiasu electrical power plugs at study table:

Lightings

The only hanging light in the house is this one in the Dining Area. Once renovation is completed, we will lower down the lights.

Led Lights around the house:

- Dining Area at the wall ledges [right and left]. A frosted glass will cover the lights.

- Under the TV Console in the Living Room

- At the bed head in Master Bedroom

- At the Master Toilet [Works not fully completed here]

The Incomplete Kitchen Cabinet

We can't afford a full Blum system. Only using the mechanism for all the drawers and top hung cabinets. Carpenters waiting for the glass framed to install to the drawers and doors. Our kitchen will be black floor, white glass framed drawers and black top.

The Dry Area:

The Wet Area:

Hopefully, the island hood can be installed this monday.

Did you work out a schedule or timeline with your ID/contractor? Usually the reno permit also states how long the company engaged needs to carry out their work. Sometimes certain companies take on too many jobs and therefore you might need to 'push' then a little harder.

Anyway, your house is shaping up well. Like the LED lights! hee

Where exactly is your location ah?

The completion date changed few times Initially, we were told early september, then mid september, then early october. Problem is, it is an architect friend handling our project .. it is abit hard to be nasty

All the best to your reno. I am sure it will be nice.

We are using led lights. Our designer feels it will give a uniform hotspot throughout which cannot be achieved with a normal light tube.

And led light consumes lower electricity cos of its lower wattage.

Thanks Angel81. Will try to post more pics.

We are busy cleaning up the place the last few days as we will be moving in early next week.

hi,

It is custom made. Err, not very sure of the price - Designer is yet to invoice us but were told about $850.

At last, we managed to solve the problem with the Franke Island Hood. It took few days with few alternatives. The lesson learned - it will be very problematic to install an island hood in old hdb unit if you don't have a good floor-ceiling height.

Really nice hse u have there after all the reno. Looking forward for ur finalised pics. Spam spam...

Wow, led lights also can, save electricity some more, can advise how much it cost for the lights below the tv console?

Wah I love your living room...

mm 3 months really very long wor... but i'm glad it does seem to be finishing!
