  • At the end of the day, it is a personal choice. And as homeowners, we need to be respectful of that. Everyone has different needs and wants...with a budget to adhere to. It is not in anyone's place

I really hope ID can help speed things up. How I wish it is already over..... Still got my boss at work chasing after my deadline.... I stay up late to try to complete my office work.... Perhaps, I m quite a workaholic and use to stay up late at nite.

I totally get what you mean. Also can't wait for reno to be over so I can feel less distracted at work. Been really busy at work too and feel bad that I have to leave early when my colleagues are still slogging.

oh ya understand..if we had not extended our reno progress, we would face the same problem too. i tend to be distracted too at work. ask him to speed things up. no choice.

ya no sleeep no energy to work also. no choice then. drink some redbull or what to help you through.

after reno, it will be more relaxing for you!

Hi, I m still new to this forum. I enjoy reading the blogs of many. I am encouraged by many of u who are willing to share your experience and photos of what u have gone through.

I recently bought an EM unit in Serangoon North..... And paid a rather high COV for a 26 yr old, in very original state.

I have also gone for my 1st Appt on 10 May and I was told that 2nd appt is 8 wks later.

Look forward to sharing more with u.... :)

PROBLEM With laminate wood Staircase

Staircase laminate problem. Please help!

ID put the laminate wood on staircase but with border at the edges..... I don't like it as it gives one a very uneasy feeling on the feet when walking up and down the stairs? Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Chemical cleaning already completed

Painting done

Rework for new storeroom in living room completed

Bathroom shower screen install

PD door for master bathroom installed

Things to be done by this Week:

1. Installation of electrical switches, sockets, ceiling fans and lightings.

2. Installation of wc system and bathroom accessories.

3. Installation of doors and main gate.

4. Installation of windows and grilles.

5. Delivery of oven, dish washer, hood and hob.

I don't think my ID can meet my 3 Sept deadline.... Still have staircase, balcony grilles, kitchen cabinet and bar counter.

I suppose its unavoidable that laminate pranks must have borders at the edges..

In a way, the borders does play a part in anti-slip. :)
