The salesman i've approached is very knowledgeable, frank and patient. He is the kind who dont mind customer go rounds to ask for other quotation, and always patient to answer ur doubts.an update!today we went to select the floor tiles with ID at balestier. got a headache to decide which floor tiles to select. end up we selected the tiles below. all these are the sample floor tiles given to us.we also went to poh joo in jalan besar to check out. guess we will be getting the hood, hob, sinks, toiletbowl and other toilet stuffs from there. maybe next week we will be going down again to get all the stuffs.finally after a delay, our reno will be starting on monday! they will start the hacking on monday, wiring on the next two days and follow by ceiling works and flooring. jessi, ur tiles look small in the pics. are they ceramic or homogenous? is the size 800x800 big ones kind?

krisietong 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 hi koi koi are u gg to hack away one of ur rooms? if not i think the MBR very little space for WIW... u have better reconsider.. if u are really gg to do it w/o knocking away one of the room then the space left for bed, dressing table will be very small already, very cramp...in my opinion, better dun.. just convert one of the rooms to a WIW... better hahafrom the floorplan, our MBR looks like big enff for the WiW.. but on site.. the room is soo small. In the end, we r boxing up the area after the toilet door to create a small area for the wardrobe. At least, I can walk from the toilet to the wardrobe to get my clothes within the area. My WiW is only 2m x 1.5m.. den the room will only have the bed.. and I cannot place anything else there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
