Errandz 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2011 You ate making good progress in your Reno. When is ur expected date of completion?Hi, I think the progress was quite good. Generally there was something happening every day so there wasn't a sense of delaying at all. On top of that, Henry and Ran were giving calls every other day to update us on what was going on. So that had things feeling smooth and delay-free..Anyway, the expected handover will be next week after the rectifications of some remaining minor issues and the cabinet construction/installation..

Errandz 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2011 Errandz, your reno is pretty fast..... We started at about the same time, yet mine will be completed by end of this mth.I just went by your site for a quick peek (sneaking around during ofc time ).. Looks like you have alot more things being done after all.. I only overhauled the toilet, and did kitchen cabinet, and remodelled one area of the old MBR. So when we compare the works in that sense, I think your folks are getting more things done in less time than over at my place. But I am fine as is the current pace for mine la. Don't know if I could keep up if it were any faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonsMom 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2011 Hi Errandz,Your t-blog is really impressive! From signing OTP, keys collection to daily renovation progress with detailed photos and captions. Your house layout is so nice, squarish shape has good floor usage and easier planning. We also bought a resale 5rm flat @MacPherson but the living room is in rectangle shape and a corridor which occupied some space. May I know how to post the photos neatly like yours? Thanks!

Thanks!Hi there,if you mean the grouping of 4-5 pics into one that you see me doing alot, you can use Adobe Photoshop, and similar. In fact, I use Paint.NET (free online ). Then its just about taking abit of time to copy the individual pics onto a blank image and arranging them. Its not too hard. One advice I can give if you are going to try it, use 'Layers' for every picture. It allows you to work like how our teachers worked with transparencies in school long ago when there were OHPs. If each layer has a pic, when you want to add words, or make changes, you just work on that layer (transparency) and don't need to worry about the others. I'm sure you can google up alot of help online if you are really eager. And feel free to ask here too! I'll def help where I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Errandz 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2011 Day 13 -Kitchen Walls plastering has been completed.Toilet sanitary fittings (wetwork items) installed.New MBR walk-in wall also cemented nicely.We love how the kitchen looks 'younger' now without the older fashioned tiles.. I m sure alot of people would have advised us to save the cost here since we were going budget and are planning to rent after 1.5yrs. To just live with the tiles...But we feel that for the cost of plastering over the old tiles (without hacking, saves a fair bit of $$), this was a value for money item in making the originally unbearable house, not just bearable but actually even enjoyable..
