Hi Angel81,

I do the following:

1) overhaul of all 3 toilets

2) overhaul of kitchen

3) Roofing at balcony(plus window and grills)

4) Polishing of marble flooring and varnishing of parquet flooring

5) Carpentry work for MBR

6) TV console for living room

7) Paint whole house

Already cost me 35k.

If u r talking about overhaul whole EM, 45k is just simple basic stuffs.

BTW, my quote from contractor.

Hi Chrono,

Thanks for the estimate! Wah seh... urs only polishing the marble already 35k.. If I need to redo the whole hse's flooring.. Ya.. tink like wat u sae bah, 45k will be the basic.

Speaking abt contractor.. is ur contractor good? Hehe.. nex time get the number from u. hehe..

My contractor, not too bad, feel comfortable dealing with him and his boss. Very nice and sincere people, hard to find now. PM me if u r interested, or u can check with Jessie

My advise, if possible keep the stair. Cos stair is the most ex to do in EM.

Hi Angel81,

how old is the EM and the reno itself? I think not as bad condition as mine when I got my EM. The condition is really terok and really not moved in condition. I had to redo everything but I kept the staircase railings. Hacked everything and had cement screed before overlaying with laminated floorings for staircase and 3 bedrooms.

hi hi Angel,

yes yes, Chrono & myself using the same contractor.

my reno is very cheap,...only at ard 15k,.....cos i am not doing the toilets.

do let us know if you wan the contact of our contractor,....or maybe you can get my contractor bring you to my unit to see (provided i oledi started or complete my reno when you gets your keys).

Hi Jessie,

wow, so fortunate that u neednt have to spend $ on the toilets. Btw, our layout is the same as virgo2829 right? But virgo2829 havent posted any pic on the done up toilet. How did your seller reno the common loo upstairs? i.e did they have a shower screen (too small to have one right)? Where did they built the shower area? For mine, my heater is facing the door so back would be directly facing the door during shower time. My sink area is just beside the pipes. Really hate the layout of the common loo since day 1

Hi hello88,

The EM is ard 23yrs old and the sellers are 1st time owner. Reno is the roughly the same reno that they did when they moved in. It's really not move-in condition. Staircase railings are those wooden posts. Both upstairs & dwnstairs floors are tiles (very ugly) and staircase is parquet (but abit koyak already). We intend to have laminated flooring in the 3 bedrms and upstairs common flr, so it'll be kinda weird if it's laminated flooring and then parquet on staircase and tiles on 1st flr. Therefore wondering how to keep the staircase. Would like to have laminate on staircase as well to match the flr upstairs.

Heheh.. condition is reali bad. The have wallpaper on all walls in the 3 bedrms... peeling already. Kitchen oso rather bad. Window & grills rusty. Can't seem to find anything that we wana keep in the house. hehe

Hi Jessie! Hehe.. really envy u man. hehe.. COV zero, Reno so cheap some more! Hehe.. tks tks.. I'll ask you guys for the contact when I need it. Hehe.. would love to view your place if possible!

Sound like a very run down EM. Ya, its kind of weird to keep the stair parquet. Your option is pretty clear, overhaul. PM me for the contractor contact..... u won't regret.

You might want to view my first cos i do a lot more than Jessie.

As for the common toilet, luckily the wc is located at facing the door for my unit.

I'm collecting the key on 04/08 but will be renovating on 08/08/08 (dou tu date given by FSM). At the moment, finalizing quotation and selecting tiles and colors. Still contemplating whether to replace the current sliding balcony door with bi-fold wooden glass panel door.
