welcome to tblog zorae, you need to upload your photos on a photo hosting website like http://photobucket.com/, http://imageshack.us/, http://www.flickr.com/ etc and not load them directly from your computer cos we wont be able to view them.

that has caused all of them to pop up as malicious objects on my kaspersky :o

Thanks for the welcome :D

I'm using ripway actually, since I already had an account. But I think there's something wrong with their server 'cuz it took quite some time for them to load even on my computer :dunno:

Should be better now? Changed all links to imageshack.

More tedious than creating the posts :wacko:

yeah that's much better and less tedious like you mentioned :D congrats on the low cov, have more money for your reno as it seems that you will prolly need to re-do everything. :) i think the only toilets that are bigger for 4room are those 4A type of flats, everything else has miserable toilets but at least the rooms are a decent size compared to the newer flats with bigger toilets but smaller rooms (and everything else)! really dont know what these people are being paid to do at hdb :bangwall:

Been a long time since I've updated. Didn't even realise how long I was gone till I had to spend 5 minutes to search for my t-blog. Anyhows, I'm back (while it lasts). Lots have happened since the last update.

Went for second appointment.

Gotten my keys but reno to start 3 months later.

Decided against a contractor and selected WaWe Design for my ID.

Bought many things.

Deliberated over the floor plan for many days, many hours, many ways.

Finally decided and paid deposit to secure my $39k reno. Hacking to start tomorrow.

Now for pictures :D

After seller moved out

Look closely at the picture and you'd spot a sink, w.c. cover, toilet seat, storage water heater and ........ an entire set of car seat for 5 people.

The seller left a whole lot of junk for us to clear 8|

Went to choose tiles some time ago. The background is the marble tiles in my parent's house (my current home). No enuff $$$ for marble in my new home.

The words on the masking tape over the grey tile is very very misleading. What balcony?

Hacking started on 1 Nov and today Wee Kuang received a phone call from HDB about neighbours complaining about the noise. :dunno: Any suggestions to pacify them?

Hopefully that won't affect the pace of the reno. Targeted hand-over by Wee Kuang to be 24 Dec but my own target is 15 Dec. I don't want to be at home packing on X'mas!

Kudos to Wee Kuang and his undying patience to such a fickle person like me. Think I've changed my mind many times over since we signed the contract for the reno (and he must hate renotalk cuz its the source of my fickle-mindedness)

Day 3 - Hacking

Majority of the things are out except for air-con trunking, some electrical trunking in kitchen and living and the windows.

And the puny toilet which looks even smaller when everything is out of the way :( notice that the opening to the toilet is huge

And on my way back, I saw the foam that will be used to raise my dining area to the same height as the living

Already bought many things even before the renovation started. I'm a classic example of what you call a "kan-cheong spider".

Citygas heater during the roadshow in TPY

Photo23-10-1161152PM.png

also bought the rainshower set they carried during the roadshow. Figured that if Citygas carried it for their gas heaters roadshow, then it will work with them, right?

photo4.jpg

Also gotten Mitsubishi Heavy Industries system 4 air-con for about $3500. 3x9000btu + 1x18000btu fancoils. Worth it?

My lastest deliberation: adding cove lights. Thinking of adding cove lights to only 1 side as I love the atmosphere cove lights give but I can't stand the dust. Which side works better? The length above the tv or the opposite side?
