Site Visit Day

Met 3 contractors today which took about 1.5hrs each. Very enthusiastic talking to the first one who have also contributed many of his own ideas.

Second one - still felt good as he is very nice and easy to talk to, listen to us and provided resolutions according to our own ideas.

Third one - abit "sian" liao cuz have repeated the same things twice already - some moments dun even feel like talking at all... perhaps also because he is like those "old bird - lao jiao" one, very experience, every now and then need to stop the discussion as he will sketched everything we discussed on pieces of paper - 3D one leh... Once stop, I really dun feel like continuing the conversation. But my man still ok, still talking to him even when he is sketching... HaHa!

Will be getting their quotations over the next few days

Super long bathroom in kitchen

that's a very retro vat u have! I was using that to bathe when I was young... mix cold water with boiling water poured into it...retains heat very well.

Went to Novena and finally decided to get our beds from them.

1 Queen size and 2 super single size Four Star storage beds with mattress at a bargain price of $3130. Initially wanted to get from Beds.sg but it turned out that Novena is cheaper overall and Four Star's quality should be better. They even threw in some freebies for us. So quite a good buy, I felt.

Hopefully the delivery and installation will go well and on the date/time as fixed

Hi Miap,

Thanks for sharing your reno-blog. May I ask if the original unit uses cylinder gas or piped gas? You

Hello!

I didn't ask but my hb said that by looking at the pic (in post above) it seems like they were using cylinder.

Items from IKEA.;. more to come

Hi,

I understand that you mention you contact Mr Phang as Fengsui Master?

So how much do you need to spend in total(buying of fengsui staff) because I thought of enagaging him as well.

But some of my frens say he quite X but to me good is more important. Any major CHANGES to decor?

And in the end which ID/contrator you use?

Sorry for all the questions cos I am new.

Can you give me some advise?
