Hi Auckerian, I have pm you.

Contractor J does not have much concepts like most ID would tell you what a Scandinavian or Modern Contemporary interiors will look like. But if you could share with him your ideas, he will also give his inputs.

Hi wmayeo,

Do you mind sharing what are the works you have asked to be done? So far, you have posted works for bathroom, kitchen & sliding door. Nothing for MBR & living room?

Love MUJI as well! Alas the prices... :no:

Will be keeping watch on your postings! :good:

Hi readers,

Sorry for my lack of post recently. The handover was completed last week. But still in minor touch up.

Bathroom tile chip off! No idea when and how did it happen. And kitchen cabinet door laminate chip off too. Mr E has helped to bring back the cabinet door to rectify.

Right now busy on my 8-5 job, wedding prep and many things have taken over my time to write more about my reno journey.

Before i drift and fall asleep... Let me summarise the items completed.

Carpentry works
1. MBR Wardrobe 6 ft w/swing doors
2. Living Room 4.5 ft shoe cabinet full height
3. Kitchen carpentry
a) 9 ft bottom cabinet @ sink area

Opposite side of sink area:
b) 2 ft full height cabinet for oven
c) 5 ft barcounter top (40mm thick ledge)
d) 3 ft bottom drawers
e) 3 ft above fridge cabinets

f) install iQuartz top 12 ft at bottom cabinets

4. Bathrooms vanity cabinet with mirror
- install Solid Surface top on vanity cabinet

Masonry
- Both bathrooms overlay wall tiles
- Shower Kerb for both bathrooms
- Kitchen base and service yard base

Electrical works
- install lighting fixtures
- added new sockets
- install control switch for induction stove
- install a heater switch (indicator) at oven area
- install ceiling fan at MBR, wall fan at kitchen.

Plumbing
- install storage water tank
- install bidet sprays
- install bathrooms basin (yes I've replaced HDB ones)
- added washing point at service yard (reuse from one of the basin)

Others
- Install PD louvered doors (changed to normal PD doors, therefore it's cheaper)
- Install kitchen aluminium bi-fold door (didn't manage to do this due to the limitation, shall blog about this in more detail)
- Install sliding doors at master bathroom
- Install acrylic panels at both bathrooms boxup
- Install bathrooms & Kitchen accessories
- Install FOC shelvings at DB box
- Floor protection
- Chemical cleaning
- Painting whole house (not exactly since all doors & door frame are not painted, require a top up since the paint used will be different)

Remaining works by others
Aircon by ColdEngine
Bomb Shelter Shelvings by Mr Kay (via Mr E's contact, got small discount! :))
Curtain/blinds - still in midst of getting a quote

Argh I haven't have the time to write about the shopping of Taobao items and many more. I will try to write more the next few days.

Hi Weiyan,

Thanks for asking.

I have posted all the works completed. Eventually come to 20K+, less than 21K. There were some savings since some items have changed like the PD door, louvered ones will be about $50 more per door. We decided to go for normal ones since the louvered ones have to run through every step, so it will require more effort to clean.

Yes Muji has nice wood tones which we like them very much. :)

Hi zen_zen,

Thank you for dropping by. :)

Sorry I couldn't pm you. No idea why. I have just listed all the works completed in a few posts before. Let me know if you have more questions.

Hi Wmayeo,

Can't wait to see your pics of your completed renovations. By the way, could you give me your contractors Mr J & E contacts?
