tks Harriette, hope your renov goes smoothly.

Hi Harriette,

Can you PM me the cost of your balcony decking and size ? I'll be following your t-blog closely as I've shortlisted Mr Yeak to be my contractor when my new home is ready. Not sure if he is interested in smaller scale projects or not though. Thanks.

Hi

Mind sharing with me your contractor contact? Thanks alot ^^

Hi BH72 and xaleysan,

I got the windows from my main contractor, Mr Yeak. It may be cheaper if you go direct to the window supplier. Do note that you need a permit to change the windows - Mr Yeak was chasing me to choose the frame colour so that he can apply for the permit. Do ensure that your chosen contractor will apply for permit on your behalf.

Let me know if you want Mr Yeak's contact.

Yes Harriette, I would like his contact.

Thank you!

Hi FamilyGuy72,

my balcony decking is normal tile which looks like wood. It is from Hafary (tile code: Y1159M2016) and costs $4psf. I will PM you how much Mr Yeak charges me shortly.

11 Jan 2014 reno updates

New double-glazed windows are up in the master bedroom. I think the white frames make the room brighter.

Yard windows are up. Waiting for aluminium roller shutter to be installed.

We opted for a roller shutter in the yard, so that we can roll it up and see a big patch of blue sky.

So we decided to swop the dining room and the study/helper room. This enables us to have an open kitchen/dining and makes better use of space. We also incorporate a bench for wearing shoes. The new study/helper room is smaller though.

Revised floor plan:

Some new renderings:

The new idea with bench sitting is a good idea. Below it if possible can add a shoe cabinet drawer. When you pull it out. the bottom for you to place your shoes.
