Toliet wall tiles....that only old thing in the toilets.

More of the stairs...love the railings =D

Balcony

We didn't like the concept of having to remove and clean the flooring below the wood in the kitchen/toilets/balcony (which was recently renovated and added in by the previous owners), plus the house requires plastering due rough wall surfaces. 2nd level flooring and toliet tiles are all from HDB, 20 over years ago. Therefore...its more or less total destruction of the house for renovation.

The balcony had to go...zzz looks like a garden. Intending to get a roller shutter to make the balcony indoor. Special thanks to Familyof4 and Felixp, cant thank Felixp enough for all the help on the roller shutter enquiry. =D

Rough plan of the house

Thanks all for the support. EM is going to be a 2 storey Settler's Cafe, located in Tampines, very close to Kopi's Coffeeshop =D

First saw the house in May, and 2nd appointment was in July. Thereafter, we rented out the house to the previous owner for 4 months and just got the house back early December, thus the renovation just started.

Everyone here is so nice and helpful. Thanks everyone, will be posting more pictures later.

Yo bro din realised that your new place in Tampines too

Anyway mind to let us know how much you bought it ? Thanks

Whao another EM

Welcome welcome, condition looks good unlike mine. Seems to need just plastering and a fresh coat of paint.

Wow, valuation 595k! Must be one of those blocks opposite the MRT station? You bought it at 60k below valuation , supergood deal ! That's probably sufficient for your reno.

Yeah bro, we are quite fortunate that the condition of the house was decent. Think tts very important that the house makes you feel good when u walk in for viewing. =D

yeah...thats why i dun like the idea of having wooden flooring which u can remove now and then to clean...who will be so kut lat to clean...and if u dun clean..thats what your flooring will look like...germs, bacteria.

Yes yes, it will be worst if got water seep in cos the humid smell can be very unbearable sometimes

I believe it will take at least a couple of weeks b4 HDB will sent you a letter to go sign. But I've done my recess area flooring way b4 i got the letter

Now i can shift the gate to flush with the wall le since I've signed the necessary documents
