pinktini 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2010 actually till todate, i really have no idea how much our renov is going to cost my FIL freelance contractor mah, so he liaising everything with his "boss" and when we asked for quotation, he said no need one lah, no need worry... he will see to everything (but money will still be from us lah) but so far, we really got good prices for lights, hob/hood, toilet accessories through FIL. so dunno what is the price.. hmm.. size leh, should be about 1.9 to 2m cos our dining table is 1.8m and the wall is slightly longer hehe, i same same with you. i also till today, no idea how much our reno is going to cost us. cos is very very close ppl with my dad doing. my dad keep telling me, don't worry. so don't think they will anyhow charge us ba.
