    Groupon sent me $20 credit during Mother's Day and there was a personalised canvas deal. I paid $34 for below 20" x 30" canvas of my baby's photo. BEST purchase ever. Photo taken from entrance.

Hi, my basin is from Hoe Kee, there are other shops mentioned in RT as well. You should be able to find the details if u run a search.

My reno a bit different,

Painting done after all lights installed, before flooring. Touch up if needed, painter will do again. I have no carpentry in the living or rooms, cant comment on that.

ID just gave me go ahead to paint and I made arrangements.

Pls pm me if u want the painter contact, his charges are cheap which I already mentioned in my earlier post. He prefers weekends for HDB jobs.

Hi SuperMama,

Possible to share with me your painter contact as well? How long will he need for a four room HDB? Thanks!

Hi,

I added some essentials along the way so final damage is $17.5k, including window for SY, window grilles for entire house and painting. I will not be sharing breakdown anymore as it seemed unfair to my ID that some forumers were asking them for 13k but with many more add ons.

Major Renovation works :

Renzz

- Hacking of kitchen wall & tilling of remaining hacked wall

- Laminate flooring for whole house

- Installation of kitchen & bathroom accessories

- Kitchen & 1 x bathroom carpentry

- 10ft tempered backsplash for kitchen

- shower screen with door for bathroom

- kitchen base + shower kerbs

- full wall length mirror for bath

- whole house window grille ($1.1K)

- electrical wiring $1.8K (because I have so many lighting in the house)

Subtotal: $15.9K

engaged others...

- service yard windows ($780) -- another contractor (My ID said he cud give me @ $600 .. boohoo)

- Painting $850 (another contractor) -- ID quoted $1.5K @_@

Total damage : $17.5K

Hope this helps!!!

Henceforth, I will only share ID contact but not my quotation. Thank you all for following me on this short reno journey liking my simple reno. Next few posts will be my agonising furnishing journey.

$850 was the quotation for my house, better that you contact him for more info. I only chose 2 colours but he said we could choose more colours, no issues. Will pm u when my baby is asleep. Hehe.
