So envious of your railings. You are not changing it right?

If my sellers had installed the same, we could have saved so much more $$.

My stainless steel and glass railings cost us a huge bomb.. heart pain.

Will continue to update the progress and share...

So far..I would say my reno is rush but yet everything seems to be moving...ID really bring in a lot of workers to rush the work out. I get to know fr my hubby that we have 2 China workers laying the granite, 3 Malaysian workers laying the kitchen, 3 toilets wall & floor tiles, a few Indian workers doing the hacking and clearing the debris, electrician working on the rewiring etc...

No major hippcups so far and thins seems to be going fine...hope it will continue to move fast and smooth...

One thing to compliment is my ID has been very accomodating as we did some last minute changes despite we had already finaliz his 3D design...he juz keep saying ok..no problem we're still in time to change... :yamseng:

Hi Slyphy, your reno is making good progress..... can't wait to see your final product! :yamseng:

Huh, i thought you are keeping the railings. So sayang.

Yours is just glass railings or with stainless steel?

I think yours is too expensive la!

Mine is stainless steel with glass = $4.8k! Almost half of yours!

If i chose just glass will be even cheaper.

Later i show you the type of railings we are getting.

See if you want to get the contact from my Id.

I really think 8k is too much. I can install both auto shutter n railings with 8k+!

There're some slight hippcups on my reno..woodwork not able to complete in time...hence my moving date ben delayed :furious:

Shalom advise there's penalty charges as we failed to informed them 7 days in advance for change of date. Total penalty cost ard $800+, luckily ID was kind enough to absord this cost. ID advise that he need another 1 week forjob completion, thus shifting change to next Sun.

Well...cast aside the delayed, I will continue uploading the progress pictures tonight...
