Hey eric...thanks..

I managed to upload the pics here...

About the pillar, I am thinking of having the beam straight too.

As for the adjoining rooms, I am thinking of having a glass partition that will separate the master bedroom and bedroom 2. Initially, we thought of putting the wall back but shrug off the idea after looking at the teeny weeny master bedroom. So an ID actually suggested that putting a glass partition instead of the wall.

We should be going for contractor as we have this feeling that IDs can be a tad too pricey for us.

wah the ex-owner got so many built in stuff...maybe u can think of remodeling the built in stuff instead of replacing cos like wasted if u totally replace all of it... see contractor can change the doors to uodate the look of the cabinets anot loh...those cabinets u dun wan then scrap and plaster the wall or something... other then dat the marble flooring is in a lovely colour...this colour easier to match and work with if u wan a modern look i think.... im all :sport-smiley-004: over ur marble floor...

Jamez agreed! Tesoro, maybe you want to consider painting over some of the cabinets to change the colour or laminate them or something? coz they look like good solid wood to me... just a thought... :dunno:

Hi Jamez

For the master bedroom and adjoning bedroom 2, everything will go.

As for the bomb shelter, the contractor told us to change the doors to something simple. As for the false wall in the living room, he said he can do something to it.

For the toilets, we are going to overlay the floor tiles but not the wall tiles.

The contractor told us that wall tiles not easy to overlay...coz it's glossy and not matt and the "glue" might not stick..aiyo..all these reno mambo-jumbo is giving me a headache.

Is there anyone who has a good contractor to recommend?

Can send it to my email : resso99@gmail.com

Btw, can someone pls explain to me what does "Approved contractors" mean for RHB reno loan? Do we have to ask every contractor that comes along whether they are the "approved contractor"?
