sleek

adrielx, dropping in to say hi to a fellow resort theme reno t-blog sounds like you had quite an adventure securing this flat of yours so here's to a smooth and beautiful reno! ps. your former kitchen opening is what i am planning to do for my place, lol

Thank you all for taking the time to come in and warmly welcome me back It feels abit lonely with all the many new faces around If possible, we intend to serve her a nice letter after my reno is done and we have moved in, just in time for CNY The master bedroom sleeping area is the only 3D worth showing with the WOW factor and earlier tonight we have just spoken to our reno guy about it, where I showed him 3Ds shared by other people on the forum from their contractors, not even ID and he shared with me that the company needs to do something about their 3D artist but it's hard to find a better one. Reiki, thanks hahaha but I will be building walls back up, not feasible to have an open concept house with my 2 rascals running amok and my mum living with us. hope all is well for your side knownothing! Earlier tonight we just discussed some tweaks to space planning so we can fully maximize the space for the WIW thanks friends and i hope everything continues to go well from now till we can move in too! hope all is well with you

ugene, you guys must be excited to see everything shaping up nicely Looking forward to more updates

wah i LIKE! cant wait We havent bought a coffee table yet and we currently dont have one due to lack of space, the kids playmat is laid where the coffee table should be, so i dont know if we will eventually end up with one.

hey patsy, really sorry to see what happened to your home, hope everything is better now !

Congrats on your new home. You can also try checking with royal fanco, http://www.eguide.com.sg/Companies/Royal-Fanco.

Today is the 4th day of reno and everything that is supposed to be hacked has been hacked away. The space looks really big now but we will be building up walls etc. Can feel the excitement building as I can finally see work progressing after all these months since end of April!. L - R/ Top - Bottom 1 - False ceiling and former window grilles have been removed from the whole house. 2 - View from main door of living room and future master bedroom. Sand for masonry work is being stored on the plastic sheet; we saw workers at the 1st floor and at the corridor one floor above my place. They bring the debris down and then the sand up. 3 - View from balcony of living and kitchen. One of the workers loading the debris in the kitchen area. 4 - View from future master bedroom sleeping area to master bedroom WIW, study area and toilet. L - R/ Top - Bottom 1 - Bedroom 2, floor in the whole house has been laid with cardboard to protect the existing marble flooring. 2 - Future master bedroom WIW area looking to sleeping area and kitchen. 3 - 3D of future master bedroom sleeping area (will have a ceiling fan instead of the chandelier) 4 - View of master bedroom toilet, hack hack hack!

hi dcool, love what you have done to your new place. congrats and look forward to seeing more photos.

nice big home you have here with a very reasonable COV paid, congrats and may you continue to have a smooth reno journey!

Thanks for all your commiserations. After all that drama over the crazy first buyer (we even went down to make a police report, just in case), we finally managed to get HDB to cancel the sale. We proceeded to find a new buyer who was alot more accommodating and things went smoothly. Things worked out better this way in terms of the time line for selling, buying and thus having more time to renovate and move. The only downside was, due to time constraints, we lost out on a better sale price cos we agreed on a price before the new valuation was out. We will be starting renovations tomorrow and I hope everything goes smoothly. These are photos of the flat currently and we will be changing almost everything except the blue room (bedroom 3). While everything 'looks nice' on the surface from photos and afar, upon closer inspection and in broad daylight we reconfirm our initial assessment that the workmanship leaves alot to be desired and that they did not use better quality materials. It is to be expected too as they told us they move around every couple of years to make $ from their flats. L - R/ Top - Bottom 1. View of living room and current dining area from front door 2.

come on just to look for your updates, congrats on your completion adi. you must be so relieved & happy now

thanks all, i just wish she will definitely back out so we can cancel the sale and move along with a new buyer. still want to her though

i only know cos previously i kept trying to look for info on royal franco and fanco kept turning up, quite hard to find info online for their shop anyways. i dont know if they accept cards as i decided that i didnt want to buy anything from them after going down to take a look.

extremely pissed, crazy woman turned up at my door 1 hour ago and claims hdb called her to tell her the loan is not approved and she doesnt have the money to continue with the purchase, wants me to look for a new buyer. i chased her away after scolding her. really WTF! going to give it to her like she is doing to us

Welcome to t-blog! FYI it is royal fanco, alot of people mistakenly call it franco. henry and tina are the owners and the place is uber small so best not to go on a weekend but you can order anything from their available catalogs, http://www.streetdirectory.com/businessfinder/company_detail.php?companyid=142971&branchid=24363

thanks friends78, really stress us out and make things worst for herself now that we have found out the truth :furious:keeping fingers & toes crossed that she will deposit the required amt within these 10days since wednesday. hahah i also want to have reno updates leh, meeting my ID on wed to discuss the new information from mae da jie marsh, thanks thanks. my family need to go pai pai so no more weird patterns from now on!
