Oh yes, cause I want to target to complete just before school holiday ends. Easier. So I'm keeping my finger cross that the seller's place can hand over in time, and their reno in time for them to move over. Else if everything delay, I will kanna as well. -
Okie. So I will see you tomorrow night at 8 pm. Oh. Just google the Happycall pan. My mum have 1 too. Think she used only a few time, than stop using liao. (as usual, 3 mins only ; p 三分钟热度) My mum's current toy "hotair cooker" (not this brand, but something like that) http://hotaircookers.com/ Ok lar, 1 hour more than enough to look c look c liao. I'm not an inspection or QC engineer to check through every corner

ai ya.... mai ah neh lar.... Holding the keys means I can start my reno liao mar... Now dry waiting. can only draw on the planner, talk to contractor/ID... Hopefully the current owner willing to sign the paper (can't remember what's that call liao, but to authorize me to apply for hacking permit, reno permit before 2nd appt). -
I'm actually better for weekdays night, cause weekend I can spend time with my kids, bring them for riding etc (they so happy with their new bike )
-
Don't need to be shy lar You are indeed generious in sharing your experience in the ID part. From reading some of the blogs (very time consuming to read as many are like 30-40 pages :bow: siong, May is always sharing he experience :good: (I benefited from it too ) Nice to be in RT : )
-
I'm waiting for my turn to visit May place too ; ) BTW, I have been talking to Andrew too. Think if I remember correctly, he have about 9 project under his hand. So to juggle between 9 + meeting new referral, challenging + tiring. Luckily mine will start only mid May, so he will be able to plan how many more jobs to take in order not to over load himself

Some contractor don't even cover those screws internally. So for those that covers, consider more detail ba

Old house are nice. Big and spacious. This layout will be very good to do design and have many ways you can really play with ; ) But since your kids are already working adults, will they be getting married soon ? Cause I think it will impact your design requirement. ; ) Long kitchen, hack the kitchen wall and merge with Dining. will be ultra wide and open ; p Can have island too :sport-smiley-004: All the best with your reno ; )
-
Nice Kitchen, with wide glass door/wall. Make the entire place looks more spacious. Seriously, your kitchen is much better than my Seng Kang Kitchen, really cramp. All the best in your reno.

LOL.. very difficult ley. Ultra anxious to hold on to the KEY.. -
Ya, I agree. Now a days many claims that their carpenter's skill is so good & so good etc, but than when you try to open their long/wide drawer, not steady one (something like when you pull from extreme left of the drawer, it will kind of get twisted like that.) So far I have only seen 1 that super solid, when you pull from 1 corner of the wide drawer, it comes out really smoothly, and ultra rigid. (tt's from Interior Affairs) I read about all the review from your T-blog and those photos, that's why I buay paisay request for a house visit so that I have witness it as well too ; p

The funny thing is tt some still say till very nice, like small project we also do one. Like even 1 toilet. Maybe they also looking at good profit margin. Anyway 1 more month to my 1st appt. Waiting till neck long long Liao. -
Yup yup. Will keep a look out. I didn't even bargain ley, how to squeeze him. Lol. I think his quote is reasonable lar. And through the 1st meeting, already share many things and tricks Liao. Will be waiting to see his actual carpenter workmanship. (tts ur place ; p)
-
Nice, I like both lights on the left.
-
Nice info ; ) Don't think I'll worry about it. Lol I'll be having about 9+m of Indian black granite in my open concept kitchen. ; p Anyway, life a little too short to be worrying about too many things.

Think very high chance will go with him Liao. Got the chemistry. He understand what my needs and my budget, and will to do things other contractor won't wanna do. The first 2 ID I meet, didn't even come back with a quote. Lol. Think they give up on my small budget Liao. -
I still left with 1 tall cabinet behind lor. Ok ok let me go imagine a bit. My rice cooker those normal type one lor. Cause thinking if put rice cooker there, it will be there all the way Liao with the wiring, cause every day 2 meal mar, so by 10+ my MIL will start cooking for their lunch at 11+. Ay, maybe by then go buy a nice looking one hor. Lol. Btw, Andrew ok with you using other electrician ar? When I was asking him, he was not in favor of me using my own supplier ley. For my granite, I think will be using his although a little more $xx, cause he will have total control over it lor. Cause now I think think, some of the pieces of granite will need to be polish on multiple face, and Also I will want minimum number of piece to form the long table. Scared if I go to others, they will break up into 3 or 4 pieces, like tt will have many many join lines Liao.
-
Yup. I'll be the one buying all those gadget. ; p But most of them will be in the cabinet until I need to use lor. Like there is a period of time I crazy about cooking ( after watching all e cook network shows. Lol ). Tt time every sat will cook something for my kids. I even make the traditional "or nee". Then after that period, switch to swimming, than to jogging, than rock climbing, than now cycling. ; p So things keep changing, now about to go back cooking again. Lol As for power point, no worries, I will have plenty. And Also lighting point. ; )

Also next time, I will wanna try those brass or copper pot for making soup (saw those ang mor cooking show, they always have that, not too sure if it is really good ) do U use them ? As for makan, they will be broken into batches ba, for kids, will chop chop eat liao go play. only left with adults sitting around chatting. Just gotten the quotation from Andrew. Pretty good. Think can add a little bit here and there later :sport-smiley-004:
