Went up to our new house 2day. WC, toilet accessories and lights are delivered! WC and toilet acessories will be installed by the end of the day. Lights will be installed tomorrow. Gas and plumbing are also completed. They were doing my WIW and sliding door when we are there. Actually lots of ppl are doing work at that time. Backside knock backside (as quoted by my id) Our gals' room in yellow Our WIW (the back of it)

U are always the special sam jie.

Hi welcome to RT! Must agree that this is a good place to share gd lobang and to get advice. Having an old flat definitely make the reno cost going higher and higher. Like my electrical wk is almost 4k!!! The rewiring cost $1.4k on its own. So u must be prepared for these variation order in the course of reno. We didnt hack the fl, retain the marble flooring and laminate over the2 bedrooms. For kitchen, i think not advisable cos saw my grandma's flat which is abt 20 yrs old and her kitchen tiles are all dropping. 1 contractor who i met up also knocked ard the tiles and said some are hollow already. I think is difficult to do cement screed thats why no contractor wants to do. ID will be higher cost but they provide design ideas and we kept asking her abt the furniture selections and colours. But there are some contractors here who have gd reputation and cost ok. If u want reno to be faster, got to decide on the reno soon, have a planned schedule. Sometimes we think certain process can be fast but in reality it cant. Eg. pipes in kitchen have to be lay then kitchen cabinet can go. So got to let ur id/contractor know and emphasis that u need it fast! Ours took 3 days to hack and remove, tiling took 5 days instead of the usual 2-3 weeks.

Wah the induction hob very nice. Got it as a free gift from Simply Her?

At Jackson design hub, tai seng st Nearest MRT station shd be Tai Seng (Circle Line)

can pm me ur blum price list? Thanks in advance.

hahaha. 'No taste husband' club.

I must say the carpet at the Lifestorey sale is worth cos it feels smoother than those at ikea. We didnt go harfary for tiles, went SBH instead. We only got the pink mosaic tiles from harfary, id went to get it for us (not available at SBH) so i agreed with neOmesis and his id. NeO i was at the sale half an hr later than u. Mayb saw u and wife. Nice and chic tiles selected.

Was recommended by our id. So thanks to her. She said got unique and different types but not sure we dare to try or nt. We wanted something different so on ah! Hope it will turn out nice.

Yes the stellar series, i think is $200 or $220. Feel so soft! Was contemplating whether to buy or not cos now living at mil's place. In the end we grabbed ah! cos the price was good and dun want to lose a good deal. sam jie, are u talking abt those black, white and grey cabinets? The 2 tier at $98? I also wanted to buy but husband said look like those joss paper burner. I told him 'U no taste' We will definitely go back again as we are still looking for a coffee table and perhaps get a vase.

Finally started. Very soon u will see ur hse transform.

We went to Lifestorey sale today. Thanks sam jie for the 'poison'. We managed to get the carpet and some rugs. Also saw some furnitures on sale. Cheap! But we are in a rush so plan to go back there again. The sale will be on till National Day, they only accept NETS and cash. Our silvery carpet

As we re-tiled the kitchen walls, the existing grilles has to be changed. Our new grilles with new pearl white bi-fold door.

Wah the food made me drool. I think i will bake cake the first day i move in. But buy pre-mixed pack from ntuc. Add fresh cream and strawberry on top. Els my husband will say that i didnt use the oven.

Thanks every1! So good to have this forum, got ppl to cheer and support each other.

I must say this is one of the most difficult to get thru week since i have my first child. Got to travel quite a distance to work as compared to just walking across the road. Dun have a nice comfy bed but only a thin mattress to lie on. Work is piling like Mt Everest and still piling. Reno like 60% done but dunno the rest can be completed on time. Went up yesterday and saw that all carpentry are all up in my house now and colours of walls also confirmed. Went up to the house but camera now in the car so cant upload the photos. I am so far satisfied with the laminates chosen (all recommended by id). When i went up today, the shiny marbled flooring greeted us. (polishing was completed). Then an opened kitchen window welcome us. Some carpentry are near the window and there is a puddle of water. Some carpentry are already wet at the bottom. So called the id and informed her. She quickly said that she will call the carpenters and check it out. We are wondering if the carpentry stuff can still be used? Hope this will not delay the HO. Must must shift in on the 24th.

Nice cabinets, can imagine the lady owner making bentos there. HO coming soon loh... Thanks for the carpet lobang. Will go down 2row afternoon

Can someone shed somle light on rainshower issue? I dunno who to call. Called PUB, the guy dun even know what is rainshower. Tell me to install first and try out. My flat is 30 yrs old flat, 11th fl, highest is 13th. Using storage tank.

i agree, the plugs or accessories is expensive. Go CCM, should have better price.

From what i understand, the normal electrician can also install, if they know how to install. i saw some1 install at the glass backing. (sorry, photos in another laptop, show u tomorrow). U can also check out 3rdclockdweller's t blog. He also installed eubiq.
