Thanks. How is the quote from Class Curtains?

hmmm depends on the material i guess, but I did ask a few quotes from other companies, and their quote was slightly more expensive, but very very slightly lah.... I am doing panel blinds in the living room, plus roller blinds in all 3 bedrooms, they claim the material i choose were the higher range. in terms of the roller blinds, the price quoted was similar to the other companies.

Today is the first day of reno. Hackings and hackings... We have given our ID 10 days to work on it.

10 days just for hacking?? That's very long.. Normally can complete hacking within 2 - 3 days...

Day 3

Today the kitchen walls are acid stained. Tiling of walls in both bathrooms (no longer toilets because it looks nicer now... :D )

Counter-top window widened. The original window is too narrow and look ugly, so Tony decided to widen it.

Overlaying of wall tiles in both bathrooms today. According to Tony, the tiles are tiled horizontally to give it a BIG and WIDE feel.
