stay strong potatoes! the last bits are always the hardest. I remember that my wife was very spirited during the initial stages but halfway through she just wanted everything to end as quickly as possible!

glad to hear at least some rectifications were able to be made. your story about your ID and the grilles is a timely reminder how much owners need to get involved in the reno...or at least find someone they can trust! jia yo will await the final product of all your efforts, I'm sure it'll turn out great :)

  • 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

Thanks people for all your encouraging words :)

For Joyous : the last time I moved house, it was 60 boxes. ... And not enough, so ended recycling them over several trips.... So this time, it think 100 should be sufficient. Now u see why I need a lot of storage space to 'hide' my things.

My wifey loves to bake cakes, tarts and cookies. I realize she needed a built in oven as it ha a bigger capacity. Since we don't have a domestic helper, I decided to also get dish washer to help us do the washing of dishes.

For footprint: thanks :) can't think of a better way to show that I still care for her.

For Hafizh : thanks for your encouragement ... Reno is really tiring.... What is worse is ID keep doing things wrong and not to our liking. We have to keep pestering him to rework.... Sianz! Really do hope things will be ok without us having to top up..... Not our fault mah. ...

Tomorrow they will complete painting touchup and tic tac doors for store rooms :)

Updates!

It has been a disappointing week. Nothing much has been happening except that the ugly pipes in the living room are gone and has been re routed to my balcony. Painting touchup was done.

Window film will be installed this Sat.... I was pushing hard for this because being a corridor unit, I would want more privacy.

Delay Is now due to window grills (ID gave wrong design), staircase (rework) and balcony grill.

Hope things will speed up quickly..... I just want to close this whole reno thingy.... Very tiring :(

The staircase railings were installed. There was again some problem in the design but fortunately I was there to tell them the problem. The installer was able to rectify the problem quickly :)

Looks cool without the railings

Thx. Actually, I don't mind staircase with no railings, but I am thinking of the safety of my family members. It cost a lot $$$ just putting these and the wooden handrail.
