Reno looking good eh Rasp... *pat back* hmmm illegal..???.. if it is, my answer is NO, of cos im "not" putting it up.... 'cos we don't wanna risk having molds in the toilet, & pretty much to cool the room etc... just the MBR only though...

hehe yea... try negotiating a little with ya ID, sometimes they may have some spare 'materials' around that can be used or something...otherwise the next best thing i can think of is to use it for some simple shelving in the toilet or something ...

hahaa so cute the front gate!! so gonna aim for 2 kids? hehehe

u guys have been busy eh... hmm... personally, i don't think they should try to 'rush' you guys into making a decision by this sat... is he saying that prices of the materials etc will rise after this week, but if you were to confirm by then, he will absorb the price hike?? doesn't seem very... 'honest' to me, but that's just my personal opinion... Sorry didn't mean to be a kill-joy but it's disheartening to see IDs/contractors trying to put pressure on couples whom they know are on a budget...

oOo.... no such lobang for that, but if i'm not mistaken, to attach the granite top (or marble) to covnert it into a dining / side tables it may cost a fair bit 'cos of the labour and materials required for the 'legs' as well as mounting the granite/marble onto wooden boards and attaching them to the 'legs' as you cant mount them directly.. this applies to our dining table, so i'm guessing it would be the same for ya side table... i may be wrong though, depending on your ID.. try bargaining with him/her hehe considered using those for other purposes like... granite shelving in ya toilets or rooms?

Yikes ... 15k!?!~@? hee.. thought of doing ventilation fan for toilet?

Hmm i think the floorplan which you saw earlier on was the one we 'amended' by ourselves..we kinda forgot to add in the doors but yep, there will be doors for all the rooms.. not sliding ones though. Thanks! Hope it all turns out great... Haha all thanks to in-laws who helped kept a lookout for the direct suppliers.. supposedly cheaper... i think

Tks hee.. actually we were open to anything so we kinda gave some 'freedom' to ID to decide what he felt was best suited for us... hope it matches well with the overall theme though

Congrats! Welcome to Tamp! hehe... which part of tamp? Ya pretty fast eh, already bought a fair bit of the appliances...

Wow..ya doing floor marble tiles for all areas or...? Every time i see ya kitchen wall tile i'll just go "ahh......." arghh...so much waste from the choked pipes..previous owners weren't bothered by it?

haha cos missus & i tend to just drive around when meeting friends to eat eat & eat punggol park ah...kk muz go recce hee... bedok interchange e market there also has this western food stall that's been around for years. Their chix chop & mix grill quite yummy too hehe...

Over @ the marble factory with Ray & his stylist to help pick out a nice piece (for our table top)..so many to choose from - 9.30am in the morning zzzzz Shortlisted Swiss White marble (or Snow White)

1st batch of tiles hee..wasn't expecting them so soon.. Part of the tiles for MBR toilet Tiles for dining area - (to compliment our marble top) It's supposed to be metallic with a faint gold 'dust' haha Common bathroom floor tiles - retro/old school

Went to 'spot check' today and were surprised to see the guys working... view of main door from inside (gonna change main door).. this one 'Cui' liaoz... Shoe cabinet will be mounted on the brick wall step in a bit more & you'll see the bedrooms and living room undergoing a facelife view from living room - towards dining area further in (the brick wall is where our sofa will be) view from inside MBR

hey hey~congrats on ya new home! Loads of shopping done eh... hee.. looking forward to ya reno pics!

I like ya kitchen wall tiles.. simple but very nice. Must update more pics daily yeah eh..the door frame..u made the entrance smaller?

Wahh.. how did you manage to convince her to move to tamp ...teach lei Yeah! esp if you try taking from... SMU that bus stop onwards, impossible to get on. That's why usually we'll walk all the way to chinatown or Central mall to catch the bus *shhhh*... yes, we are lazy pple hee

Haha yeap, hope it'll look as good as it does on paper or else i'm gonna smack him... Actually.. none of them haha.. should be 1,2 weeks time before we start to buy. ID & his designer gonna bring us shopping... However we are gonna go pick our dining table's marble top this sat @ Sungei Keduk (something like that). thanks Rasp! hehe.. a little deja vu huh...

Taaa Daaaa... That was only part of what is required.. had more to come then... View outside On the spot sketching by ID on our wall of the entrance to our dining area

Day 8 of Reno! - sorry duno why some of the pics can't seem to rotate them & stay rotated Our 'balcony' Kitchen Walls Entrance to MBR (left) & Study Room (right)

the western food @ the foodcourt opp the MRT very nice... hee that's about the only place i know that's nice *so-not-an amkian*

a bit la.. but heng Cck still not so bad, expressway near and got good food around, plus bus 190 chop chop reach town hee... Haven really decided when to move in, 'cos still some time away before ROM/AD, so might just sleep over on weekends, dust dust abit here & there

They'll resume work today, but didn't get a chance to go down today (currently staying in Tamp, new home is @ CCK).... hopefully my in-laws snapped some pics hee.. They're supposed to have some 'team meeting' today to discuss on how to go about the reno to cope with the ad-hoc changes as the ID deems necessary like placing the storage heater in another room's top cupboard to allow our ceiling rain shower etc... Might be dropping by Sungei something to check out the marble tops for our dining table this weekend.. hope that'll go smoothly and see something we like...

Not yet... was thinking of getting the quote first from my ID's 'supplier' and start from there..but so far the general feel is that it costs approx 1,200 to 1,400 for the whole house.. *sigh* 2 pianos~!? thats what you get when you have a huge floor space hee
