Reno Day 84

Painting was completed in a record two days. They worked till 3-4am to finish it in time for the carpentry. We're happy with the paint works, overall quite well done (especially considering they painted in the dark with only one tube light). They will be coming back again to do one more round of touch-ups. My painter was recommended by someone on a local bridal forum. We paid $900 to paint the whole place, inclusive of paints (a mixture of Dulux & Nippon) and a coat of sealer.

Carpentry also up however the laminates were mixed up (kitchen laminate on the bathroom cabinet and vice versa) plus some drawers/shelves missing plus some dimensions were off so they'll be taking one more week to rectify.

First round of acid wash also done, the place now looks less dusty and powdery.

The place is starting to shape up and we can finally start seeing our imagination brought to life!

False ceiling & false wall painted. That's the old utility room door waiting to be thrown away.

The wall where our TV will be at.

New room door, we love the contrast of the white frame against the green. Hb's idea..

One wall of the common room painted same shade of green. Rest in greige (grey-beige).

Kitchen cabinets up but in wrong laminate. To be changed.

Box up of big momma pipe painted.


Service yard. S/steel & copper pipes all painted over.


Bathroom glass door installed. Ceilings & beams painted.


Where the WC will be installed. Pipe & walls all painted.


Box up done and painted for utility room aircon.

The wall where our TV will be at.

Looking good! just a thot, must be careful that aircon doesn't leak, especially since its directly above the TV.
