Hi osiris7777,

Thanks for sharing the renovation journey of your new home, in great detail! Your home is lovely, especially love the DB box door design with the little nook there, that's really a great idea of maximize storage space! :wub: Also like how the black door frame and the door design, beautiful match!

I've just got the key to my 4-room BTO and am looking for a contractor now. Would you mind sharing the contact your contractor, E? He sounds like a down-to-earth guy and we'd really love to meet him :)

Thank you so much!! 

Hi @osiris7777,

 

Can you pls share the details of the 4 contractors?

1) Contractor N from R*******

2) Contractor K from H*O

3) Contractor E from C* R***

4) Contractor E from D* I*******

 

Additionally, pls share the detail of the air-con installer/contractor and the glass contractor from whom you got the shower screen.

Lastly, can you advise on the details of the vinyl flooring used - which brand and how thick was it? Was the installation done well.

Hi! Could you also share contacts of the 4 contractors you visited and the glass vendor?

Shower Screen

We did not engage E to install our shower screen as we managed to get it at a good price from a glass contractor. Workmanship is acceptable but one of the wall tile in our master toilet crack when they drill the wall to install the door. :(

As I have mention earlier in my post, my wife is a Taobao addict so I gave her the task to source for some items from Taobao. I am not really into Taobao cos:

1. My mandarin is really limited

2. I always believe good things don't come cheap and cheap things don't come good

3. Have the perception that vendors in Taobao are not honest example the things we order when we received looks different from the picture

4. Quality issue

But after going through lots of t-blog and seems like alot of ppl order from Taobao so decided to give it a shot.

Total we order close to 4 cubic meter of goods from Taobao. So without further ado, lets see what we have ordered.

These are some of the items which my wife ask for my approval before she order. There are still quite a number of small items for kitchen, bathroom accessories she order without asking for my approval :~
