HondaSteam 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2012 Finally, it's my turn to share my renovation journey for my humble home, due to collect keys this coming weekend Yesterday, my seller dropped me an SMS to forward SP Services' notification SMS to her before she could pass the keys to us this coming Sunday evening. With the assurance, I called up my contractor to apply for renovation permit to begin hacking on next Monday! Renov Permit issued by HDB to start renovation on 5th Nov My EM Floor Plan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HondaSteam 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2012 Thanks, always saw your active contributions to other EM T-blogs. Nice to have you around to guide us along. I came across your T-blog, and should share similar budget as yours, if my memory never fail me. My living hall/dining area/utility comes with marble flooring, so I will be redoing my kitchen (including carpentry) & three bathrooms. Finally, decided to replace the three bedrooms with homo/porcelain instead of vinyl laminate, with practicality & maintenance-free in mind. And to avoid venting my anger on the children if they happen to drop something hard onto the floor, scratch or wet the floor. Not forgetting the balcony area where I am looking to redo the floor tile with skirting only. Also thinking of replacing the whole house with wooden skirting to make it look classy. Hope to achieve all these works within 40k budget...Congrats Honda, u will soon b the official EM owner....

Does ur 40k include plastering, electrical rewiring, overhaul staircase?No plastering nor staircase rework was quoted, electrical rewiring for whole house quoted at 4k++ was reduced to less than 1k dont intend to spend that kind of $$$. The quotation is already over 40k, hopefully it won't go over 50k with additional add-ons on impulse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
