Or maybe ask your contractor/ID to revarnish the front gate, it will look better

Air Con is Up:

Panasonic Inverter System 2:

Blower unit in MBR + Living RM

The Aircon guys from courts but their vehicle printed ALLBEST.........

At first I thought they will run the trunking from MBR to Living room using the passage way.

Trying hard to visualize how it will change the look and feel.

I had a pleasant surprise when they mentioned they can run the trunking via the 2nd Bedroom.

They spent the whole morning....finally complete around 2pm.

Overall, I feel they did a good job.

Bro the way your home looks very much like mine

It seems to me your kitchen have 2 louvre window on each side,is it??

Mine only 1side already give big problem.

Happy reno

Hi Jery,

Enjoy the renovation process!

Ya.. Mine have the windows on both sides. No choice but to make the best out of it..

My contractor says cannot varnish the main gate leh...

Can anyone verify whether what my contractor said is true??

Next up is....

Washing Machine Base

Kitchen Cabinet Base

Fridge Base

Sink Base

This sink base is 3ft. Contractor advised us to make a 4ft sink base but we thought the extra 1ft would be too small to make any difference so we insisted on 3ft.

However, upon seeing the sink base, my wife thought that it was really too small with no preparation space at all. (Actually, she went to the Dew Spring facebook and saw a neighbour's sink base that is extended and thought it look nicer!!) Hence, we get our contractor to extend the base by another 1 feet which cost a add-on of 60 bucks!!

Lesson learnt: Plan and consider carefully before the work is carried out! Any changes after that = $$!

This is how it look in the end...extended sink base

By the way, the bases were made with our spare tiles from HDB even though our contractor said he will source from outside when we ask him about it. Is it ok to use the spare tiles???

Next visit, we found...

Gas piping - arranged by contractor

Drawing on the wall by electrician

Electrical wiring!

Living room

Wiring for lights

Wiring for TV point

Shifting of light point to wall directly beside the main door = $100. Reasonable??

MBR

Shifting of toilet light and heater points from wall to wardrobe

Concealed point for wall fan

No wiring done for 2nd bedroom and kitchen (trying not to hack the wall tiles) so as not to burst the budget!! The more we discussed, the more things we felt necessary to add. The reno cost only have additions and no subtractions!!

False ceiling is up!

But the contractor leave a hole for the aircon. It seriously look awkward and attention grabbing. Can anyone tell me whether this is the norm? I tried to get my contractor to make it smaller but he insist that this is the only way if we still want to open the flap of the aircon for cleaning. But can't it be made smaller? any kind soul please advise?

You will have your TV at bomb shelter wall?

Care to share your layout plan (with furnitures)?

rubbish sia, extending the base is using your spare tiles mah. he tell u source from outside is smoke u one.

regarding your aircon, i think its norm cos mine also like that, if not hw u gonna box up leh. no choice one.

mine is like that. jus to share with you. (:

Hi,

Looks like ur place is slowly shaping up. I staying at 454 but haven Reno yet. Seems like Reno is not an easy tasks. Any additional works means additional costs. Hopefully you have smooth Reno.

Btw how do I view other blogs or picture from dew spring Facebook.I can't find any links to see any pic or blog there.
