Hi Gendon, thanks v much for sharing ur knowledge! I gonna start my reno soon and I'm totally clueless as to what cooker, hob etc to buy and stuff to note.. I'm jotted down ur pointers... Guess speaking from experience really helps alot for us newbies.. Cheers

I intend to get glossy laminates for the kitchen cabinets.. got some samples from a roadshow.. The glossy effect really makes the cabinets v classy looking.. but I'm also thinking along the lines of practicality.. If I seldom cook or even open the cabinets, erm, then there's lower chance of the glossy surfaces being scratched?? heee.. Anyone using glossy laminates for kitchen cabinets care to share their experiences? Thanks!

thanks for sharing everyone!!

hi windcharm, am thinking of doing a lill waterfeature in my flat.. issit hard to maintain? how often do u have to clean the feature? so i gather the costs of building one = $160 for bricks + $200 for light & pump.. is that all? thanks!

Jaskel, thanks for helping me ask! Your contractor's quote slightly cheaper than the one I got.. Guess there's not much I can save from hacking.. oh well.. Thanks again!!

hey happywolfie.. saw ur blog.. wow!! ur house is really v nicely renovated.. so in the end, how much did u spend on polishing ur marble? was it done by the ID or u got another contractor? so the marble flooring covered ur living room.. plus bedrooms too? me trying to source for marble polishing contractors now.. heeee..

Hihi yanntheangel.. is this Ah Gan contact still valid? Is it a OMO? or he belongs to some marble polishing co? Wanna get quote from him.. btw, how did u get to know this contact?

thanks supersimon27! for helping me take a look at the quote.. hmm.. if the quote is reasonable, then i guess i cant really save on this hacking part yeah?

hihi jaskel.. thanks for helping me check!! and wow! saw from ossify's post u spent 100k on ur reno.. that's alot that uve done yeah! got pics to show? dont see any t-blog link in ur post leh.. so curious as to what uve done.. heee..

hi samsontok, so ur quote of $350 covered living room only? how big is ur unit? i got a quote of $1.2k for living room + 3 bedrooms.. and mine's a 5 rm flat..

hey Jaskel, juz curious, have u done ur reno yet? Did u engage an ID or contractor?

Wow, so actually a more reasonable figure for the hacking is around $1k+? Mine's a 5room HDB resale flat.

Hi jaskel.. Here are the items he's charging me: 1Hack off existing kitchen floor & wall tiles $ 750.00 2Hack off existing 2 toilets wall & floor tiles $ 750.00 3To demolish 1 side wall to create new opening for common toilet $ 220.00 4To dismantle existing wardrobe at master bedroom $ 180.00 5To dismantle existing wardrobe at study room $ 180.00 6To dismantle existing feature wall, kitchen door & shoe cabinet $ 250.00 7To dismantle existing kitchen cabinet $ 180.00 In all, about $2.5k, juz for hacking! Is this amount reasonable?

Hihi, does anyone know of any persons providing hacking + transportation services? Saw that my contractor quoted me 2.5k for hacking + transportation services alone.. Seems quite ex.. Am thinking of we can engage someone else to do this, but at a much cheaper rate. Thanks!!

hihi, a contractor quoted me $1.2k for polishing of marble flooring of my living room + 3 bedrooms.. is this reasonable? anyone has got better quotes to recommend me? thanks!!
