Wah that's a very good price for id. The 3Ds look good, I like the purple kitchen! Keep us updated on your progress, yeah?

Day 60 – Parquet Installation : (Clockwise from top left) workers installing the parquet floors; the division between the two bedrooms can barely be seen anymore; the area where the bed will go; the boxes of teak flooring used. Day 62 – paintwork : (left) the purple walls turned the grey ceiling a wonderful shade of lilac; (top right) the painters’ equipment; (bottom right) Hafiizh examining the ceiling paint work.

yeah my wife also has this thing about rust. song cho got guarantee but the price hmmm. so i compromised with her - we buy cheap one first. when it rusts then we'll replace it with something from song cho bit by bit.

the fish tanks look much nicer than the cabinet that was there before. good choice!

nope haven't heard of them - how are their prices? I might go down and check them out if i am in the area

Day 59 False ceilings to hide the aircon trunking: (Clockwise from top left) the aircon piping for the living room; the view from the living room window; the new location of the bedroom aircon; the ugly trunking that runs through into the master bathroom and out. False walls : (left) viewed from the corridor, the second bedroom door has been walled up; (top right) before : the wall where the headboard is to be and (middle right) after : leveled with a false wall; view of the false walls from inside the bedroom.

Day 47 Tiling Completion : (top) close up shot of the entrance into our home; (bottom left) before: gaps between tiles and the wall; (bottom right) after: the tiled skirting like those commonly found nowadays. Tiled kitchen bases : (top left) fridge and sink base; (top right) washing machine base for the service yard; (bottom) tiles demarcate where the kitchen ends and the living areas begin.

Eh bro, your house layout exactly like mine! Your fellow punggol lodge neighbor, Hafiizh

insane >> yup i can just imagine i will bump into more and more friends from my generation in punggol hahaha waikwok >> i also think so but what to do....

i know the feeling! best wishes on your reno - let us know how your drawings turn out

I love what you did with the diffused lighting - I was desperately googling to find pictures for my contractor and so glad I found someone who did it up. But the bay window feature is swee - thumbs up for that. Looks really original, envy!

akkywendy >> np, always happy to help coachjoe >> cool la, i also have a friend in damai and a colleague across the road in treelodge.

thks rat! yup to confirm - I had to hire a PE for my kitchen walls hacking the contractor sent in an application to hack -> hdb revert to say need PE -contractor resent -> application approved + $500 but not all walls require a QP/PE. only selected walls - cos let's say if I am hacking just the bedroom wall your contractor needs to apply for permit but no need QP/PE. in summary - u need QP/PE sometimes but not all the time. so if not sure, budget for it....

that makes two things i envy about your house - your mirrored passageway and the kitchen. Nice!

i am also envious of rimblock's hts setup! cs u seem very onz, if you shopping for projector I join you ah. group by maybe get bulk (ok la 2 not really bulk, but still) discount.

hi wendy! I use this app called noteshelf - would recommend esp if you use dropbox. i then use another app - Web Albums - to upload the exported pictures/scribblings. i used Noteshelf a lot during renovations - esp to draw on pictures for my contractor to really 'visualize' what i want. here's an example and thanks for visiting my blog!

the final version is swee!!!!

OMG its like the kitchen i have in my head but better. but...but...WHY DIDN'T I TAKE JAPANESE AS A 3rd LANGUAGE IN SCHOOOOL hahaha lucky got google translate thanks for the link jan!

rofl

wah mae you are very fierce leh - but then this kind of fierce is good la, cos it was horrible of them to do that. whoever didn't even bother to inform you should receive the full wrath of your fury! that being said, it was good that x'clusive did have some damage control. hopefully your son (and you) can sleep better at night

yaaay pictures! ahahaha i love it when you do the layout like that - easier to visualize where the pics go. good job!

insane >> hahah yeah maybe after all the feedback i'll try add captions instead - stay tuned! you're from treelodge? reglxt >> small house, less to clean - that's what i keep telling myself... steelze >> haha thks, the reno journey inspired me to draw comics ahahaha btw insane i am prob using classic kitchen and theirs have the fittings included in their prices

thumbs up!!! hope it all goes well for you for your shifting in tomorrow!
