Thanks for all the best wishes...really busy over the last one week. but everything is worthwhile...I officially shifted into the house on the 8 Sept! It was a pleasant experience with the moving company I engage to help me with the shifting everything done in around 3 hours on a 20 footer lorry.. The company is Yong Shen Service...Professional and fast. But the experience of packing is nightmare to us...imgaine after sending over the 20 footer of stuff, I still have all the loose items that cannot be squeeze into the lorry that I use my own Honda Airwave taking 3 trips to bring over... The second part will be unpacking. Since Sunday evening till yesterday, me and my wife already unpack everything to kitchen and living room area. Now is upstairs room...one of my room still stuff with boxes of items. My Son room and MBR still Ok and we can still get comfortable sleeping space. Oh yeah...every piece of funitures we ordered already safely delivered including my OTO massage chair in my MBR....hehehee... I am still trying to find time to upload photo...

Hi, Happy with the progress this week. 1) Laminated floor for upstairs rooms and staircase completed on Monday. 2) Carpentary work started yesterday with good progress, completing tomorrow. Planning Sat final cleaning and paint touch up...Next week will reserve for Faith Coat to do my toilet, it is important to leave this to the last because nobody suppose to disturb the toilets in the next 4 days .... cheers.

Hi all, Thanks for the well wishes... excitied and forwarding looking is my feeling now... Hi Typhoonz, Slowly plan and search lor...I also drain off all my saving for this house...I think if not too prime an area the price is still ok, moreover COV is dropping badly now...sure can dream come true lah...

Hi Mark, No, mine is not the ground floor but higher floor...but yes I installed roller shutter and completed today, But no photo to share now. Will try to share more later...cheers

Hi HappyAng, Thanks Yes my block also 71X....your friend completed the transaction already or just OTP? if completed OTP, then maybe your friend is my seller...hahhaaa I am very motivated by your renovation t-blog too...Thanks for sharing the great posting.

As seen from my previous t-blog, 3 years plus ago, it is also a rush one month to complete renovation. The key contractor that helps me archive this is Henry from ID Note. This time, I am putting my bet on him again. But before I chosen Henry actually I approached 4 a contractor aka ID for quotation, although some of the price seem competitive but they are just not convincing to me that they are able to complete my renovation with 1 month. Henry, being the boss of the company I find it easier for me to get instant pricing and quotation plus the last good job done previously for my 4 roomy, there is no reason why I cannot give the job to him again....and Thanksfully I made the right choice, so far Henry has kept his promise to deliver his work... the last few miles which is critical which is the carpetary work, I am counting on him to give me his best! Of course, there are others good contractors that I will like to praise for their great service Star Cool Aircon - Aka Aron and Ah boon Please do not hesitate to get a quotation from them...these guys are really very good contractors that keep their promise and deliver good service with I think the best price in town... I installed a Starmex system 4 with total of 3 trips - 1 for removing old unit, 1 for trucking and last for fancoil and compressor. I am most thankful because all the 3 trips were arranged in very short notice...Gxxx xity will most likely ask me to go fly kite with such rush arrangement and schedule. But there is some cons which I think is everyone concern, they are not too contactable, however to be fair, Ah boon will reply my sms or email in the evening so we can still manage to reach each other without a problem. I think these guys are hands on people so most of the time they are either climbing, holding on to heavy stuff so don't expect them to pick up your phone so causally lah. Next is Supreme Flooring - Kelvin is the one that I met in the Expo trade show somewhere in May, I find him very sincere and just that we can click do I decided to give Supreme a try instead of previously I using Kronotex... Today is the installation and 4 men are arrange to work at my place... so expecting completion today. So will give my review later. But I don't think it will be of much surprize for laminated flooring since the produce comes with long warrenty so I think should be Ok. I am going to give Faith Coat, Philip the work review once he completed the work next week. So far I can only says he is a sincere guy and the exhibition at expo is convincing. Seem that I am related to these people or given great discount for advertising hah... ? not at all but I really want to show my appreciation to them for their great cooperation to help me meet the dateline.

The Kitchen Cabinet, I am keeping because I like the granite top, still very good condition...but hor I cannot take red colour leh....so decided to change all the doors and drawers. I will also be re-doing the tall cabinet for Oven with top cabinets for more storage space. Also the Fridge opening is facing stove so basic feng shui tells me must switch the fridge over to the right side...

Thanks...I joining in...hahahaa. Any age limit? Me already uncle liao.

As the previous only did partial renovation 4 years ago but mostly overlay so I cannot overlay anymore, plus time is my main challenge, I cannot afford to hack and redo any wall or flooring. So in the end, I decided to overlay only the balcony floor (since previously not done) overlay with laminated flooring for staircase and all 2nd floor rooms. As for the toilet...I like the MBR toilets so I will retain all the wall tiles but the floor tiles seem to have some discoluration due to I think is chemical demage, so will be doing coating. For the Common Toilet, very good floor and wall tiles but walau...pink toilet I cannot stand it... again it is already overlay once so no overlaying and hacking, will be spray coating the wall and the flooring and redo Vanity top, change toilet bowl Ground floor toilet, only spraying the wall tile as it is very very old design ( I think is original HDB tiles) and change toilet bowl.

No sure whether these photo will appear just try first... [

The challenge of this EM is the shape, it is supposed to be 151m2, bigger then other unit in the block but the extra space given also make me spend more money to hide them (By cabinets and wardrobe). The most challenging is the slated wall in the living room. MBR and the 3rd bedroom (so small...) But all these challenges, I will said till now already overcome by my day and night thinking and planning.... Now there is only joy and excitment to move in by first week of Sept. Till today, my supreme laminated floor, roller shutter already done up. Ready for my carpentary work this Wed. Next week, will be Faint Coat to spray my toilet wall and floor for Common toilet, wall for first floor toilet and floor for MBR toilet. Then I will say all the dusty and messy work are completed. Ready for my curtain/ blinds and Wall Paper on the 4, 5 and 6 Sept. Full moving will be on the 8 September... Will follow up by some photo of the exisitng house but the progress photo will need to be later....stay tune. Thanks

Hi all, Thanks for the welcoming message... I am trying to upload my floor plan, long time never do it so not sure whether it works...

Dear bro and sis, I am back to start a new t-blog on my new home since the last renovation done at my 4 room unit about 4 years ago. This is a dream come true for us that at last we found our ideal location for our EM. As mentioned in some of the posting long time ago, I only target 2 blocks of EM near my existing location @ Jurong West. Early April this year, we found one unit @ block 7xx and on 1st view we decided to ons it and pay OTP 3 days later...we didn't even look carefully at the floor plan. As we are buying on Contra arrangement, the whole process took much longer and got our keys on 1 Aug 2014. Started renovation on the 5th Aug and targetting completion in a month time. The progress so far is good, I will say about 75% done up. The exisitng condition of the unit is not too bad, partial renovated about 4 years ago so I am not doing a full tear down with minimum hacking work. I will try to update my floor plan and photos (existing, progress and current) when I have more time. Btw, my unit is those that comes with odd shape with a lot of slated wall...you will see it when I upload the floor plan. So far, I am confident that I can complete my renovation in time and shift in after the 7th month. Booked the date for shifting on the 8 September.... I hope my renovation journey can give some of those that has a rush schedule some confident that everything is possible thru good planning and a group of good contractors. I done it before 4 years ago for my 4 room with 1 month completion and I believe I can do it for this unit too... Btw my team of contractors - ID Note - Henry - Supreme - Kelvin - Faith Coat - Philips - Star Cool Aircon (Aron and Ah Boon) I promised to give them a fair report after my renovation and I will as promised. Stay tune...

Bro, I always look into your unit when I drove pass...the progress is very good. Your Contractor very on, sometimes work till wee hours... My reno also on the way to completion...Cheers.

No welcome wishes so far...*^▁^* Just kidding. Will like to give a quick update that progress is good so far . Light fitting complete today and tomorrow. Air-conditioning fitting tomorrow aircon fanciful and compressor will be fitted. Plan for paint touch up and washing Sat. Ready for laminated flooring for stairs and upper floor. Carpentry work next we'd. So far still within my 1 month schedule. Not to advertise for my list of contractors but they really helping me a lot. Still not ready for the tblog yet as photo are taken in my wife phone and we are busy packing so that we can shift in on 8 September. Thanks...

Thanks for that... but I don't have a choice...will work towards th goal...so far progressing well. Plastering of wall all done, tiling work done, electrical work done. Ceiling work tomorrow start, Firday Aircon Trucking work. Cheers
