Hi Coldflamez Finally your own T-blog. Can't wait to see all your pictures! Can you let me know who did your place too? Am currently in sourcing mode already so the more the merrier to compare so please PM me can? Thanks in advance!

Updated an update on the contractors/ID I have contacted so far: 1) Mr BK - no response after email and sms, given up on him. moving on. 2) Mr Yeak, Basic Image - still awaiting for his quote. 3) Henry, ID Note - still awaiting his quote. 4) Thomas - quote in. one of the shortlisted. 5) Edmund, Adecor design - quote in, one of the shortlisted. 6) Joseph, Primeworks Solution - quote in. one of the shorlisted. 7) Bernard, Gim Wee - quote on high side. am considering.. 8) ZL Chua, Colours by Leslie Chua - arranging to meet up this sun for discussion before he quote. I am now asking my agent to arrange with seller if we can go up a couple of days for FSM audit and contractor site visit so we can have better discussion with the contractors. So it's up to my agent to do the work...

Ya lor, hopefully it wun turn out that way We are looking at budget tightly Yes, the sofa is from sea horse but I have not order yet cos they say they only can keep for 2 months. not long enough for me. they having 70% sale now so price for a 3 seater is $799.65. sooooo tempted to buy but they cannot keep stock. hopefully when i buy they can offer same or lower price.. How's your rating for the sofa so far? Good? I brought hubby down to Compass Point store over the weekend and he also agree the sofa is pretty comfy so likely we will aim this set though we did not want leather sofa in the beginning.

oh no..it does sounds like becoming Ah Soon No. 2... U prob have to do more tighter control on the reno works so that Jason done "chut" pattern like his bro

jus had my first damage last night...finally gave in to itch and bought my mattress. Slumberland Vono Back Relaxer (with bamboo yarn) Queen size $790 and single $490.

maybe u should really go to their shop to find them. I think Florence should be there if nothing is wrong....I hope. Just pray he is not like his brother...

Hi Tiler Seng/Ronald Would like to check with you whether is it possible to hack kitchen cabinet, W/m and fridge base without hacking the whole kitchen tiles? We would like to change the layout of the cabinets but not wanting to change floor tiles as it is still in good condition. BTW, I will PM you some works that we would like you to quote.

Oh no...dun tell me he is going to be like his brother, Ah Soon?

eh...I'm female leh, but IMHO I also prefer the 2nd one...

Hey bro, Swee! would love to have some of those furniture if S11 allows BTW, how's the fan power for the 3-head cone fan? looks swee swee in your living room!

This is so true. I do believe in FS as well but to a certain extent. We consulted a FSM on our previous unit and our new unit will also be audited by FSM. However, it is necessary not to be obssessed. Like what a FSM previously mentioned to me (which I think is real true), FSM can only predict what the possible future can be and provide possible remedy to counter negative issues, ultimately, the future lies in your hand. what you do in the present will directly affect the future. just IMHO

have started contacting the contractors to do the first quote for my shortlisting. mostly contacts from Renotalk after seeing some of the nice T-blogs around. Most of them replied saying they will only be able to give me the quote next week so shortlisting can wait. Quite good response so far cos One replied my email the next day saying he need time to quote, the rest replied me after I sms them. Some without emails also replied my sms immediately with email addy for me to forward my initial requirements. Probably cos my reno period will not be the peak period bah Will update once the quotes start coming in!

I do hope so!!! As for w/m, now is shortlisting a Brandt model which is made in Europe. Apparantly the Best saleslady says LG directdrive is made in China....

It's from Aero Furniture, if it's $699 at the fair then u are rite to wait cos it's the same price I saw at the showroom in IFC. Probably they might have some promo during the GSS if u can wait that long.

Possible, Eugela of Shunfu got approval. See my link above to her T-blog

Hi Eugela Who was ur FSM? can share?

u can see her remarks here http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?sh...25398&st=40

Hi ngunadi any reason why the FSM wanted you to do the 10" tilt? i think u need HDB permit on that as I read another forumner's blog. she has similar requirements from FSM too. hopefully my FSM won't give me these headache issues.

hey, why i din think of that? i will talk to hubby and probably get agent to contact them and ask. Good idea! on a different note this is one of the sofa we like...erm...i like

ok, here goes. this is the proposed plan of the house that I have in mind, done using Adobe Illustrator. would probably have to do some amendments when the FSM audit. This is the pic of the sofa bed that we have seen and like. Will most likely get this unless we see something we really love over this

yup, that's what many people telling me. by the time it's rite for me to buy jus nice should hv the Jun Comex show. Hopefully price will be even more attractive In fact I was telling my SIL yesterday nite that I dun mind old model, so long functions I need are there and the price is rite. But fingers **** itchy, so I think I will give the IT fair a miss, will be there to buy something for the company but I shall avoid the consumer electrical sections or else cannot fight the itch!!!! So u will be going to get the TV there? Hope u get what u want!

Hi dannywmp Thanks for the warm welcome! Ya, we will have to wait for the FSM to audit and then we can see where things are placed and have a better idea what to buy. Right now, I'm in the sourcing mode where I will note down things I like I dun intend to get something too big for w/m so 6 or 6.5kg will be fine for me. I also feel $729 is expensive but seems like everywhere I go (Best, Harvey Norman etc) they say front-loaders best go for european brands and european brands are the expensive one lor. Have seen an LG directdrive front loader and is interested in it but also not cheap leh. So am still considering while I still have time. Ultimately I need something which is electrical and water efficient and slightly pricey is still acceptable. I just saw a Panasonic S class 42" LCD in Best going at $999 yesterday and love it. But too soon to order so hopefully price will lower even more by the time I go ahead to buy Have given up on roomba, "boss" says no so cannot lor! I have one exisiting vaccum cleaner which has pretty strong suction power, will be bringing it to the new house.

proposed kitchen plan that IT idiot me did using Ikea planner...not the exact design I'm looking at but somewhat similar. Will try to upload some pics from the valuation report, some pics of designs which I like and pic of my proposed idea for reno. pretty busy in office these few days so bear with me

Hi Ripples Bought the H&D mag and simply love the pics of ur house!!!

My first appt is Apr 19 and YES really sianz about the waiting....can't wait to finally start on my reno! People here at RT in general pretty helpful, jus got to be careful and detailed on your part as well. I have so called shortlisted some ID/ contractors based on the comments here, but not sure if I start asking them to quote now whether is it too early? dunno if they think I super kiasu or siao Anyway I need to engage a FSM to audit the unit so even now if they quote based on the idea I have, we might need to revise after the FSM audit. Haiz.... Do, I look forward to reading your experience with the IDs!
