Haha seems like towards the end, most of us feel that reno progress is slow. I suppose nothing compared to effect of seeing your place getting hacked and demolished. Yep by the time ur furniture is in, then it will really look like a "home" :)

So true!!! starting phase was like a flash..... everyday u can see things being done... :D .. i think we are at the stage that we just want to get the reno over and done with... very tired running here and there , running errands for the new place... PUB, Phone line/internet,parking,change of address.... lol.. like cannot finish...

Hi, can I know what kind of flooring is this?

Wow, as what samgalz mentioned, first time hearing that cement cost is not included. Only heard before that plastering needs extra cost. How much did the cement amount to??

About 500+, a long list of items. I think some is for the plastering of my walls. Still got white cement and grey cement.

Haha yes! So many decisions and never ending things to settle it seems. I just hope to sleep in my new place soon.

Hopefully he didn't get too much of an earful from my mil. Not sure what was conversed about, but I don't like too much heated conversations? I think it's better to maintain a good working relationship.

Thanks for the advice, will prob get the husband to go down more often. Thank goodness his work is not that busy now coz I'm likely to be working late next week. :( Just like to ask btw, is ABS trimming included in your carpentry and quote?

so your quote is just workmanship?

Plastering is expensive, think prob 1-2k for whole flat..

about 1.7k, it's one of the most expensive single item :bangwall: but the old door tended to get stuck, so decided to change. If it's just silver or bronze instead of white color, will be cheaper by 200 bucks.

Some materials they provide, like piping and wiring. They quoted me 3.2K for the plastering of the whole house. By the way, nice laminates. :D

wow 3.2k for plastering! Haha good thing I didn't ask, decided that can save on that. Ya my door was rusty also, very hard to slide open/close. When I saw the price, thought of sticking to the rusty door also, but I got over-ruled..

Thanks, the laminates were costlier than usual, but I think it came out rather well :P

Is your laminates raised? from the pics, it looks like decking.

Nope, i think it is because there is an additional layer of rubber-like material underneath. This it to reduce the "walking on air" effect supposedly.
