Technology has advanced sooo much. Even before we collected keys, we are in a facebook group and groupchat with thousands of neighbours. You know your neighbours even before you meet them Our reno journey this time round started with a close friend suggested us engaging her brother to do up our house and supported that idea with her house was done by her brother as well. As usual I have many ideas and more or less knew what I wanted, no harm engaging someone related to someone we are close to where we can negotiate for better quality work. Quick summary of ID/Contractor meet up experiences. Registered interest on renotalk, met 3 IDs recommended but were either not very interested or showed no value-add to my ideas. Met our friend’s brother twice to discuss my requirements, but guess he was really busy cos he will take 3-4 days to reply my messages. Chopped him off and call Jason! (beloved contractor of my 1st home) Jason is no longer with Innerview and has started a company and its 1 man show. His first questions were how much work needs to be done and how soon I need it to be ready as he has a few projects on hand. He arranged to view my new place, take measurements before giving me a quote. Meeting up with him brought back great memories with his experiences he provided valuable feedback and I know my place is in good hands. BUT... Jason drop me a text the same day evening apologising he is not able to take up my job as he is worried he can’t deliver on time. Oh no Anyway while waiting to confirm a contractor, I’ve been following my neighbours reno works they share in the group chat. I concluded that all I needed was an electrician, painting services and a carpenter. so.. i decided just go ala carte, arrange the works myself. Still thankful that Jason is upfront that he cannot deliver rather then me having to find a place to stay when we need to handover our current place. So definitely i will still recommend him if anyone needs his contact.

HELLLLOOOOOO! omg it has been almost 8 years. was looking for some old details and remembered i had this reno blog and tried my luck, its still here! no sure if anyone still comes here, now with renotalk, renotalk, renoguru and FB/IG. honestly even for my new place i didn’t research here either but i will just continue to post my new reno project for my 2nd home now with 2 additional members its quite fun reading my own reno blo after so many years. A BIG Apology to those who asked questions after my last post, (if you are still here ) i assume you don’t need my answers anymore.

Thanks bro!

yah... hob, hood, taps, sinks all from them but they give quite standard discounts from the way i look at it. she wrote item by item and discount them on the spot. not like lump sum discount at the end of selection. the girl we quite like, friendly and informative. her name Chen Yang

Some gifts... the "Bailag" set from mother-in-law. thats what she calls them claims she bought them back in late 70s and never use. the roses prints are really nice, wife loves them. our nice little collection from WMF 3 pots from mother-in-law cutlery set from great friend and knife set from OG promotion ($89.90) fits our criteria (cheap and looks nice LOL ) &... lastly our 1st romantic meal, from the remains from the steamboat. thats all for now wish everyone a Happy New Year! Huat Ah!
