Oh, u mean HDB may not approve? actually during my viewings i actually saw one house who did that and I think it's looks gd

it's meant for the balcony...i love the opened up area, but if it rains, that area will be wet. I dun really like awning, so roller shutter is my next best alternative i guess.

i went poh joo too...the sales lady was following us and asking whta we want and we say we'll discuss...then a guy (not sure if he's the boss) says "go serve them better". then she walked off to serve another couple buying basins. @^#(%&(% In the end, Hubby was pissed and walked off...he said never to go there again cos service was bad.

Ivy, 2ft cabinet for the boys? no wardrobe?

mrs piglet, i see that you are using closet design for your wardrobe which I am also considering. Do you mind telling me how big is your wardrobe and how much did they quote? I saw at modern living ehibition that they hv promo at $2k for 8ft nett...

mind sharing your quote? I am interested to know th price too

your house condition looks really good. I will also be doing veneer doors, they look nicer and classy enough. Wish everything will go smoothly

ponytail, left a note on ur t-blog anyone has any ideas if a roller shutter is difficult to maintain?

Thanks for sharing with me, ponytail I have always wanted pebblewash flooring for my access area...the only worry is the durability and practical maintenance.

We got this inverter multi split from Toshiba. My mom is using this, and it is really quiet and the electric consumption is not too high too. Got this from All Best at IMM.

I wana see the gorgeous photos too!

pinkpetter, I am a very visual person. So, I will pdate with many photos! Easier also right I may be changing the bi-fold to tempered glass door on level 2 too. Level 1 still unsure. I am not sure if I want to use pebble wash flooring. I am afraid of the maintenance and durability compared to tiles.

Hehe...I wish to have...but I intend to have a play area for my kids too...so i will use the space on the balcony Yah...I was shocked when he told me 34k. That is why i printed a whole list for him to quote me. Hehe...if it's really 34k, I may add more things

Ah Soon actually says mine shld be ard 34k. I really waiting to see if its so good to be true! haha...he called me today and says my quote will be ready in these 2 days...so shall see

If it's really under 40k, I'll really be surprised. the total area is 154sqm, and i love the access balcony as it was quite long and spacious enough

Hi Angel, I didn't call Mr Yeak in the end cos i am too tired sourcing le. So far 4 IDs, 2 contractors only...I will look at Ah soon's quote and decide from there.

this is very nice...I hope ur contractor can meet the dateline.

Over the weekend, we went to IMM to get the cooker hob, hood and oven from Mayer. Here's our buy.

Yah...I thought the deal was pretty good too. But I will know when the official quote comes in. the flooring if from stairs to the 2nd floor...the parquet is well maintained and it was polished too, so i'll retain.

Hi mister molly, true on the design, but the reno dollars also high too but the old design was 9 years old, so i intend to change almost everything to suit ourselves. ya...I contacted Ah Soon and hoping to hear from him soon. He says I can do my house with less than 40K, I am really anxious to see his quote

We just had our first appointment last friday, and we are getting our keys on 13 April. Can't wait for that day! We have been sourcing around for quotes and buying items needed in the new home. Let's share our floor plan. Pics of the house we bought: The old house pics: Basically, all needs to go except the WI railings and the parquet on stairs and #2.

Any feedback on the Kinderland @ Loyang Point?

Hi Angel, got your PM and will contact them soon I will do major on the first floor and redo bathrooms and MBR on #2.

Hi Angel, I am also reading the blogs and chats...but due to the workload, i can't really go through slowly...so just trying to see if there are any recommendations. I have so far started contacting 4 since yesterday to ask for quotes...hope the outcome is positive.

It's looks bright and airy nice views too! The house does look different when it is vacated...
