Brought my sis up to see the vacant flat yesterday and we saw the reno permit stuck outside our unit!!! Yayyyyy! SO excited... Today uncle confirmed that he is going to start the "soft works" for the house...the "dong tu" and also dismantling the wardrobes and cabinets. Hacking starts MONDAY!!! So excited about this whole thing! But he also mentioned he lost his files (abt 7 - 8) on the cab where he had worked out the quotes...hope the nice cabby can return uncle his files...else we may still have to wait for our quotes.

the flooring condition is good from the pics and if u really do not like, change it cos u will be living with it for years...

I agree on the pricing for the sofa! I think one forumer also got the same set and hers is like 2k+?

i love ur facade!!! very nice and your house lloks cool and spacious with white!!!

the family that stays above my Mom is a little siao...keep clothes also like to bang bang bang... like to shout and raise voices etc...once I was really very disturbed by their nonsense and shouted to them to keep quiet...then this crazy woman pour water from the window and wet the almost-dried laundery...I am so pissed that I shouted back at her! She kept using the F word and scolded my momusing vulagrities...I flared up, picked up the phone and told her, if she dare, leave the evidence of the water on her window sill and I'll file a police report. She challenged me...she thought i dun dare...I called the NPP and purposely talk loudly near the window while filing my complain...she quickly softened her tone and clean her window sill. I told her, dun bother, cos my clothes and the window panes of ours is still wet! No amount of cleaning helps! Then...she kept quiet...the police came and they told us to file a report with the HDB offcer...they will make sure that they take action after monitoring the neighbours upstairs. Nowadays, they dun dare to do anything. Initially really bad. My mom's clothes drying and they hung their wet dripping laundry out w/o even having the courtesy to tell my mom to keep hers! I am NO pushover....so pet, if this is bothering u, u can try going to HDB...

masking tape and markers are on Hubby's must-have list!!!

i am thinking of using gloss laminates for my kitchen...basically almost everything is GLOSSY! hehe...

pet, if this goes on, u may wana consider calling HDB and alert the officer who takes charge of ur block. At least have a record about this issue so that they are aware.

but this is definitely a good choice! Seems like i need to make a trip there during lunch to shop w/o the man!

i never like the bean bag idea...i prefer a sofa set. reason y i am still not buying cos it seems like suits Ethyl more than Brayden ?! Hehe... I want a nice proper set that is more "gender neutral",,,then it struck me that I can let Ethyl have this, and get another one for Bray!!! LOLx Brian's gonna kill me!!!

seems like we really need to kep a close watch on the reno movement and progress. Hopefully they (including Jason) has the same mentality as uncle...must do the work well...

the SAME one that I am still thinking off!!! Sigh...last piece, since it is bought by u....hehe...never mind, I go and get it over the weekends! but this is really nice....

i choose the same tiles for common toilet initially...changed is during my final selection tho' good choice there!

u really accept?

icic...my Dad has that!!! He says he will use it when the flooring is done and all the drillings are done too! Yah pet, but my Dad is working lah...he is only off on wed and sunday so he can only pop by on these 2 days only...other days it depends on my Hubby...I am too far away liao

sigh...i think i have to really jagar the works of the workers...do not think uncle has that much of time to really help me with it....

pardon me...what is 水平尺? I tasked my dad who used to be HDB's contractor to go jagar the work for me, especially the flooring...so he will be my QC Officer for the reno works...I just pick up a bit here and there from him as we go along... As for the elect works, I will remind himto give me a beeter worker, else bobian I will get the same electrician who does my previous house to do it for me..,

mrspiglet, i would have flared up if i am in ur shoes too! Bad time management on their side!!! anyways, i also do not like them to anyhow use my wc leh...can i indicate to uncle that they can ONLY do it in the level 1 common toilet?

Ya...seems like some of u have bad experience with electricians...like breaking lights lah, smallboy had a smiling face on his tile due to "mis-drill"... sigh...i wana go! but didn't realise Hubby wana bring my SIL + niece and nephew + MIL + my 2 kids and us, I really do not want to scare ashes...and paiseh to bring one whole troop of people there lah

ashes, i am dropping by my new place later, can i also go see see look look at your place if convenient? Bring ubby see more of uncle's work...

Pet, is maintenance wise easy? Hubby's been very "fan" about me changing the fan my ears are ringing!!!

*sob sob* Angel's right, share some pics with us and let us say bye-bye to it? ANyways, I am sure u will also do up your 5 room swee swee

trashley, tpy is so good! Centralised area Aug is only a few steps away!!! U are gonna get busier soon!

zonkkie, we also go to Alex for lightings... same guy ya

the TAP!!! I wanted to get that too, but when Hubby looks at the price tag, he says this not good, on top of that, my BIL also say negative things, in the end, i stick to the Franke tap so envious....
