Hi everyone,

Though I am not totally new to this forum but am newbie to renovation and to posting a t-blog! So really got lots to learn from all the shifus here.

We have gotten our flat for 2-3 months liao.Phew! Finally by God’s grace me we will be starting our renovation work this week!

Will like to take this chance to everyone who contribute to this forum and make it such a informative source for us, allowing us to compare quotations and gives us different perspective on our renovation ideas.Kudos to all

As we feel, we do not need any ID and partly because we have the time to do planning, we kinda ‘unbundled’ the whole reno package and source for individual main con, carpenter, painter and even the tiles supplier ourselves. Through this process, we not only cut down our cost $ we also learn a lot about renovation. Well, it’s interesting really and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

We did research for almost 2-3 months b4 we decide on contractor, the carpenter and bought into tiles. We have place orders for air-con and some big item furniture like Sofa, dining table and bed.

Hope to show all my pic of our renovation progress. But now can only upload the pre-reno pics.

Hi Hi... green doors come default?

yes, me and Fw dun like the colour, will be painting over it with another colour

It's a great challenge to go ala-carte for renovation, you will either love it or hate it. Wish you all the best and hope to see another nice home in this forum....

Cheers

Hi Relacker,

Nice place you got there. Looking forward to final transformation. Enjoy renovation.

Cheers

Hello!

Looking forward to your renovation pictures as well!

start liao, super messy!

kitchen

old fashion tiled kitchen top with my granite sink.front edge of the kitchen top will be dark colour to blend with the lower kitchen cabinet doors.

For the fridge base, we wanted rounded corner so had to change. The reason by contractor is that the legs of the fridge may not fit in, but we think just a bit of rounded corner should be ok. at most change to smaller width fridge.

fridge base corner's curvature now will follow the circle.

one stuff, the HDB contractor did not put the canvas when they brought up the sand, resulting in seepage to my neighbour below. mmmm....now my contractor will do some patch up for them and repaint for their ceiling. Strange, how can HDB contractor miss this detail???

hi, saw your reno photos

love the windows in the living room

the gap got to be big so that the tiles won't crack when they expand mah

my grout-line also quite big, but what to do

i'd rather it be big then having tiles cracking or popping up

the kangoo hor, is it goods plate or passenger plate?

if goods plate need to have a company to take over right?
