Looking for good contractors? Click here for your request
yep, only 16 days away..hopefully can keep within that timeline..

Good good! At least you can start planing and move in before 7th month!!!

Oh the wipes comes in OEM version which is not too bad but need to use 2 sheets in stead of 1 to achieve the same dust wipe, but **** cheap. They have the wet oem version which works pretty okie to take surface dusting. If your place is very dusty, You can use the wet oem version to clean the walls and dry for cupboards to clean up as much dust as possible. Then use the original magic clean wipes to do the final cleaning.

It's progressing well, i think :D . We finally have a targeted handover date: 28 July.

We changed our project manager last week..the previous one was disappointing. Our new PM is more zhai and we feel more at ease, no need to think so much about every nook and cranny of our reno to ensure nothing is left out.

What's been done over the past week:

- Windows have been replaced

- Bedroom doors have been installed

- Aircon trunking have been rectified

- False ceiling and other box up have been completed

- Hob, hood & oven have been delivered

- Measurements for main door + utility room door taken

To be done this week:

- Window grilles up on Tues

- Painting starts on Tues

- Carpentry in on Fri

- First round of cleaning

Pictures coming up shortly..

Ger, we checked our place yesterday and realized windows **** and kitchen were up (no grilles yet). The living hall ones were badly scratched, took some picts of it.. Will try to post it tonight.

original ones i think NTUC should sell it..

the dust in the place is incredible..like flour. no idea how many times we'll have to vacuum before it finally feels clean...good time to buy the irobot..
