Ivy, just started browsing your blog.

My previous home is very near to your new place

I miss Clementi, all my memories there, school, poly, nice food.

thanks folks!! It was a fruitful inspection cos Ah Soon came along and we had a very constructive discussion which resulted in me making some changes to some of my carpentry works.

Lawry, clementi is a really convenient place!!

After discussion with Ah Soon and visiting Smallboy's unit our final carpentry works will be as follows :

Smallboy, we are going to adopt your MBR layout!! I love the idea of shifting the toilet door to make a space for WIW. Ah Soon suggested me to follow what you did. At first I told him no. He then suggest I go to your unit to see first before deciding. After seeing how much more space I can have I am sold to the idea!! This will also mean I no longer need 2 fabricate 2 seperate wardrobes for my MBR as initially planned.

Uncle Ah Soon also advised that I need not change my windows since they are all in good condition. I am also keeping all the existing doors.

Below was the initially planned carpentry work.

I am also doing away with platforms in both the boys' room and MBR. However I am adding in extra full ht cabinets in the kitchen and will also be do plastering for whole unit which were initially not in there. Plastering uncle quoted me $1800 for whole unit.

I also ask Ah Soon to fabricate a set of dining table and bench, which I can push against the wall when not in use. Something like the photo below which I got from a website.

This will allow me to have a clear dining hall. I will be using the dining hall as a play area for the boys. Will throw a play mat there.

Hopefully with the various omission and addition, my final quote will add up to be about the same..

I am a storage freak! I keep worrying abt insufficient storage space thus the idea of making full ht cabinet in the kitchen

the 2 wardrobes were the initial plan, now i've ditched that plan for a mini wiw. heheh heng ahhh today he didn't fly aeroplane. I keep emphasizing to him that today CANNOT fly aeroplane. Initially he says he'll bring Jason but didn't see Jason leh. Think Jason didn't wanna work on PH hahahah

ivy. glad to know it is a fuitful meeting with ah soon.

i have tat concept of dining area too. i am looking at adding padded cushion to the benches to make it more comfy. however, i am not sure if the concept is feasible as my dining table in in the kitchen area and wood as the main material, it will get wet and spoil.

Hey ivy, oh i've mistaken. i saw the wrong pictures.

It's better with the new concept as it frees up the space in the mbr. you can have a spacious area to move around. nice...

it's worth considering. do you wash ur kitchen area extensively? or just mop? if it is just mopping, i think it shouldn't be too much problem right?
