Hey hey! amrasenelya... Place big also means reno bill big lol.. and yea... i am going to be a full time juggler soon..

Oh.. u and rasp plays an instrumental role in helping us decide on the contractor .. and yes.. we are going with henry of impress 21... after reading both of your blogs .. seeing that all is been done nicely and without dramas, we decide to get henry to quote us. What really impress us.. (lol pun intended) was his attention to details, his time management and the ability to click with us.

His quote might not be the cheapest.. but i would say, its fairly priced. Truth be told , we had a very laid back contractor hunting period ( Thanks to this information gold mine - renotalk) , sent out 4 quotation request ( 3 to contractors and 1 to ID). Once all the quotations are in. Price wise ID>contractor1>Henry>contrator2 .. Meet up with henry , cost judging from the quotation from him, its the most comprehensive (Everything we wanted is in plus optional works costing) .

Meeting him was an pretty good experience.. he is what me and wifey agree "quietly confident" type.. he doesnt oversold his works.. and that he is pretty decent in helping us work out our ideas of the home. Long story short, we felt comfortable with him handling our reno. And decided on using him there and then.

Reno wise.. its started with just flooring, kitchen, toilets and some carpentry.. Somehow we ended up doing a "No stone unturned" reno . LOL.. oh how our wallet cried.

Theme wise.. we are going for simple and timeless. it will be a Black, White and a bit of Dark wood. Praying hard it will turn out ok. I will try to post as much pics as possible..

I guess its fate... After the OTP i heard from my agent that they were actually been offered a higher COV back in july/aug . The owners rejected it then.. then come sept which there is a slight dip in the stock prices.. and the real estate market in general. i think this coupled with the fact that their valuation is abt to expire soon.. they decide to accept our COV.

Like my mom always say.. "if its yours its yours"

I will try to be as photo intensive as possible.. Cos i myself also enjoy reading those blogs that is stuffed with pics..

Currently its Demo day and for the next 3 days. I dont think Demo phase is interesting enff to post them up. .. they all look the same.. "WARZONE"

Yes, agree that there is nothing much to show at the earlier stage of the reno. In fact, after the tiling is done, there is nothing much to show until the carpentry is up, which means at the end stage of the renovation. So you need to be patient to see the end results .

So true... I guess.. things will start to get really interesting when the tilings are done..

hehe, no probs.. agreed! Rasp also helped us alot in deciding our contractor, and now we're happily staying in our new home for the past 1 mth 1 week now..

good thing is, henry has also sent his guys up to our place for some minor rectifications like refilling the white silicon where our cupboards meet the wall/ceiling, and also some other stuff... very efficient even after collecting full payment... from our point of view la.. so of course i hope you have the same smooth journey!
