Wah !!!... How many double power socket & lighting point you have ? That day, base on my preliminary calculation (if correct), should sum up to $3,xxx. Cause I reduce total number of double power socket from 27 => 21. Will have to Call Ah Soon liao. See how... Will go bio your blog, see Lemonades quote.

Sure can. But will arrange house warming later. July-Aug reservist. So by the time everything settle down will be mid Aug Liao. Than will arrange a Sat for housewarmIng. ; ) Or if u just want to view e reno, later part, either morning or night time I'll drop by to inspect, I can SMS u to arrange as well.

Oh. Her turn to get busy. ; ) Ya lor. Not easy as he also have office rental to cover.

Ah Soon is going to be flooded with calls... you better warn him. LoL ... :sport-smiley-004:

LLChing unit starting today right ?? IF include LLChing's unit, there should be 3 unit he will be doing concurrently.

DAY 11, 28th May, Mon Good start. Saw a worker laying my MBR bathroom tiles. Slowly seeing something (other than hacking and hacking and hacking)... Chatting with the tiler, found that he was from the same provinces as my ancestor :sport-smiley-004: (福州) Interesting Found that both bath room door frame still there. Have inform ID, see how :rolleyes: Hopefully tonight I can see a completed bathroom with all tiles :dancingqueen:

DAY 10, 26th May, Sat Yes. End of day 10, all debris removed. Think almost full tank Wonder do they keep such hacked debris for land reclamation :rolleyes:

Ya, biz should be good for him this year. Other than my unit, he's also doing another one. ; )

Nice. Finally at the end of day 9, floor hacking all done. Hopefully they manage to remove everything by saturday so that Monday can start cement screed and then tiles. ; )

Will negotiate. Else will b $xxxx Yup. From Hang Chin. Ops... My bad. should be $35 ; p

Ya lor. That's what I think too. But base on $60 per double, just double socket alone will cost me $1,620 liao Basic lighting point - 23 @ $ 18 each : $414 Water heater X 2 - $180 A/C : 15 am - $90 Excludes DB box, Sub-main cable, lighting installation, and +++..... :jawdrop:

OIC ... thanks thanks :bow:

Oh !!.. so standard left, meaning you turn the handle to left or you point the dot of handle to left !? :sport-smiley-004: This is what I always get confuse :bangwall:

My initial count was 27 double sockets. Was told really too much... ok. Understand... Will reduce. ; p

DAY 9, 25th May, Fri Another full day of HACKING :bangwall: Sorry my Neighbor. Think they should be able to complete all hacking by today. (keeping my finger cross XXXX) Remove all derbies by tomorrow. (Hacker worries 1 tank load might not be able to contain all !! !!. Last round, kitchen wall + floor + 2 x bathroom already fill up 80% of the tank load) Never know SAND are that heavy & renovation need sooooooo much sand :jawdrop: (although in army, my unit primary exercise is to fill sandbag for defense, but have never weight any sandbag. An exercise of 2000 sandbag :bangwall: can't imagine how many tonnes we have carried !! ) According to the Hacker : 1st trip, they send in 5 Tonne of sand for my kitchen + 2 X bath room :bangwall: 2nd trip, he's expecting another 8 Tonne of sand for the rest of my floor !! !! !! :bow:

DAY 8, 24th May, Thur Very fruitful day. Saw the semi updated 3D drawing. Should receive the full updated version today or tomorrow ; ) Got the price list for electrical work, going to work out how much it will cost and will SURE re-adjust accordingly (was told that I have too much Power socket !! !! !!) Hacking of Dining area, MBR, Bedroom 2 all done. - Dining area was bad, the tiles & cement were literary floating on the base concrete. :jawdrop: - MBR, crazily HARD. Hacker had a hard time hacking MBR :bangwall: - 2nd Bedroom, normal. P.S. Won't share the pix till some major changes :thumbs up: Really paisay to the neighbor, have to extend their misery of hacking sound & vibration... 8|

DAY 7, 23rd May, Wed Nothing much done since have to wait for 24th May to start hacking entire house flooring. While waiting, all kitchen wall are nice and smoother now :sport-smiley-004:

LOL... I have huge problem with mixer. Never get it right :bangwall: I can never understand the logic of the right side or left side (hot / cold). I will always have to turn to 1 side, wait to see if hot or cold, than adjust accordingly. That's why I still stick to instant heater, easier for me to control temperature while showering. :sport-smiley-004:

Think he got the idea from his new ID ba. After looking at the 3D, he ki siao on cove light :sport-smiley-004: Lets wait & see how's the 3D drawing for both of us ; p

Hi yokechye, Congrats in getting your key and all the best in your reno. Personally, i don't install a/c in living room. For me, utility bill already high liao, cannot afford to have a/c in the living room to draw more electrical power.

DAY 6, 22nd May, Tue Drop by today, kitchen wall & ceiling beam all cement smooth smooth liao. Did some detail measurement to see how we can do up the cove light sui sui and with reference to the 3D drawing. Than we notice something :no: ceiling light !! !! !! Than we think think think think, consider ... measure measure ... (& I recall my visit to May's house)... Her Cove light is BRIGHT .. so i think should be enough.. ; p Lucky our current lighting all still in and working, so we measure how the light will travel if we build full cove light according to 3D and we figure out we might be able to do up the kitchen & Dining room without ceiling light :dunno: Will see how ; p If like that, the ceiling will be very naked... :notti: After which, more discussion on if we want to keep this, remove that etc etc... than as we leave, we look at the existing shoe cabinet that we kept.... Now with whole house doing, that shoe cabinet become a eye sore !! !! !! .. Zzzzzzzz...... See how, considering have it removed as it is badly design, but excellent condition !! !! !! ........ From poping of floor tiles comes so much more things and decision ... reminds me of the song ::: (如过我有一百万， 我要搭飞机，我要开falali)... :D

LOL.... ok, will email U.. ; p

Oh ya, really, if you have the time, you might want to drop by to look at after they purchase the recess area, how they need to re-locate the water meter & the main electrical meter to outside the recess area. It cause a big mess on both water piping & electrical wiring. Since now I'm re-wiring & re-piping, will later talk to electrician if can remove all the messy wiring in the recess area. I like it too, last time my old house, think T5 not common or don't have yet, they uses normal florescent light, not bright enough. My current cove light will have at least 50cm from the ceiling, hence not too sure if the T5 light can be bright enough to brighten up the place? Think will talk to Andrew on Thursday. Ya lor, really consider heng for me to get that place. Can't wait for the reno to finish and move in ; p Yup. We will be doing that ; p Will be building a shoe rack there.

Think they purchase it sometimes back, (according to my seller). Ya, actually think some EM didn't buy the recess area also. Those bought one also shiok shiok, additional space. Cause once, I free, I go recce that area (KLKK), found that those EA floor (at EM 2nd floor) ones all have this HUGE recess area :jawdrop: And I was like, dam shiok lor, I can put all our family bicycle in that huge recess area !!! and build a store room there lor.

:dribble: See liao very difficult control not to do the Cove light thinggy right !! :unsure: There will be some major correction to the 1st draft 3D. - I've keep the wall on the ride side of the hood to segregate kitchen & study area. (need to add back) - There is a pillar near the left island wall that I can hack, so will build a feature there (need to add in) - I've shift the washing machine into Common bathroom, so kitchen will sui sui liao, at least the sink is nearer to the hood. (need to change) - The ceiling beam is actually lower, much lower. And the beam flush with the outside of the island, hence to achieve the hanging light format, I will need to talk to the guys to build the cove light to flush with the outside beam & align the downlight in the middle along the island. And with the 'pendant' light (or don't know call what, but hanging light), to have the nice nice effect, the light will end up at my eye level, (not nice for me but good for most of the rest). Actually its almost there liao, except if I want the cove light, will need to add in maybe a few hundreds lor.
