Hi Steelze, looking at your new photos, it seems like the condition of the house I am getting is still better than yours. Here is my floorplan (Yishun ring road) My house is simple, intact with 4 bedrooms but the balcony has been combined with the living room. Kitchen and the 2 bathrooms need redo, as it is quite old. I am still debating whether to knock down the wall to make the master bedroom bigger or not. Looking at your new designed fp, looks like it can fit into the small master bedroom, but again, to me it is still on paper. I am not to convinced yet. The tiles in the living room and the bedrooms are still good (no crack) and well maintained, just that it is old tiles (smaller piece, not homogenous). I am still thinking if I should change or not. But I will go back to tiles, I dont like wood floor. Again this also somehow tie with whether to knock down the wall or not. Ceiling wise, regular one, maybe need some touch ups. I guess now the main things for me are: - electrical wiring and plumbing - redo 2 bathrooms - redo kitchen, including taking down all the wall tiles (they are too old, from the first owner) and cabinets I guess this is kind of long... hahaha... dun want to put too much in your thread... Later I will do my own, as I just got the conf for first app. Maybe go look around this weekend...

Hi Steelze, thanks a lot. I will try to get a quote from them. I kind of think $35k may not be possible, but hopefully can get anything as low as possible. I appreciate your help Hopefully you can get it finalized soon. All the best to you. Darwin

Hi Steelze, I just purchased a 5i similar to your floorplan in Yishun. I am looking also on how to do the reno as the room right in front of the main door is making the living room size kind of hard to play around. But, hey... from the pictures you have shared, it seems to me like this is not too bad. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate that. I am also having similar budget as you, do you mind sharing with me the ID? When you mentioned budget of 35k? Does that include the hacking of the wall and the floor? I guess when you change the shape of the study room you mentioned above, it will require hacking the wall and the floor. The house I am getting still have 4 bedrooms intact. So, I am just worried my budget wont be enough if it includes hacking of the floor. Thanks a lot. By the way, congratulations for your baby and getting a house.
