March 15: Hacks away!

Commencement of our renovation! Lots of walls to be hacked away.

The house looks so spacious now!

Renovation Week 2: Electrical, Air-Con Trunking & Tiling Part 1

Due to our hectic work schedules, we only had time to drop by during the weekends to review the progress.

William was kind enough to Whatsapp us on the updates of the house every few days.

Everything's on schedule so far.

Electrical and false ceiling are up!

Still hate the air-con trunking beside the air-con ledge window. Any ideas how to conceal them up?

Renovation Week 2: Electrical, Air-Con Trunking & Tiling Part 2

Overlay and tiling works have began. The workers were still working on the living room floor and kitchen walls on Saturday!

Happy with the floor tiles as they aren't as brown as I thought.

New erected wall for our Bedroom 2 & MBR new entrances.

Our colleague stays just next block, so we went over to help check for defects too. Surprisingly, there were LOTS of "visitors" who have yet to get their keys and wanted to take a look inside their flat. End up have to entertain them

26 March 2012: Floor Overlay Issues

ID called today to inform us that the entire house ground has been elevated slightly due to the overlaying of kitchen floor tiles. As such, there will be problems opening the main door!

His current suggestion is to saw the main door shorter...

Happened for me. Both toilets were renovated and after tiling the doors were both sawed shorter so it closes. Drawback is the exposed wood which will get wet. Think have to find a way to waterproof below.

Looks like I'm not the only one, and I'm not very comfortable with them sawing my door!

They sawed both your doors and did not "seal" the exposed parts up? Gosh... If it's me, I might try using colorless nail polish to protect it hahaha

We come from two ends of Singapore (Jurong vs Bedok)! For me, I spent my Secondary School and Polytechnic days in Clementi so I'm not a total stranger to this area. But... where's Ocean Coffee Shop? Hehehe
