SimEl 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 Surveyed about 7 ID firms before finally deciding to seal the deal with Max's Image Consultants at HDB Hub. ID is Kasey.Upon agreeing on the deal, 3D images were ready about 4-5 days later...efficient! Received the green light from HDB and started our reno about 1 week later, around 12 July. Let's call this "R" day R + 2 days : Attached are some images of our home after the hacking works were completed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SimEl 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 Very glad indeed that the reno was moving real fast. As we have pretty much hacking to do to re-furbish the whole house, it was to our surprise at which the work was done.About R + 1 week later, the tiling at kitchen as well as toilets were up.They went on to lay the base for our kitchen cabinet...more to follow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far, very good experience with the IDs This is how it looks now more to follow...Hi SimEl,Welcome to RenoTalk. Spam #1 chop from me You place remind me of our old place too.

SimEl 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2007 Have been quite a while since I last updated...so busy with everything else Anyway, it's now R+5.5 weeks, all the carpentries are almost done up and we really have quite a bit of carpentry work around the house...the living/dining area with the lights up:Our shoe cabinet cum divider at the door way( one of those things we're really happy with) The kitchen cabinets:Our 'changing room'! a room which we've made into a changing room, with full walk-in cabinet and complete mirror on one full side of the wall!Cool! Carpentry has taken quite a bit of time. Although there were some minor mistakes here and there, our ID and carpenter gladly modified them to our liking...Good job so far!
