Hi Potatoes, I've uploaded my pictures in photobucket. But can't find de 'host it' button. Can guide me step by step pls?

Can someone teach me how to upload pics? I go to imageshack.us n it asks for email Id to register... I have not registered before ... 😔😞

Ur right.. De previous owner didn't do anything fanciful, except for a customized tv console. given tt our budget is low, we'll live with it for now. We don't intend to sell it in de future, my plan is to re-Reno in de future fancifully. Now what $$ we have, we want to keep it s we have 2 young kids..

Totally agree wid u, Paloma!! I'm glad to find someone who has de same thoughts s I do... Sadly, my hubby loves Discovery & History. My kids love cartoons... So we do have a tv... 😏

Thanks jshome. I'll do tt soon.

Hi emreno, mine is gen 1.. Valuation is 735K.. The house was well-maintained .. De 1st level flooring is marble .. From stairs to 2nd level, it's Matt ceramic tiles. Tis is like 15 years old or older... L box n false ceilings were done 2 yrs ago.. Wid LED down lights... Built in wardrobes were done in all de 3 rooms upstairs. MBR has bathtub s well... We were so excited, we grabbed it immediately.

Hi cleong, None of de walls were hacked, we don't intend to hack a well... Keeping tt room as play room for my kids... I wanted MIL to stay there.. But hubby feels she'll feel isolated... So he wants her to stay up in my daughter's room. I think she'll have problems climbing up n down.. Only time can address tis issue... It's pretty sensitive now.. We intended to keep the staircase... It's ceramic off-white tiles n nyatoh hand rails, but it's so shakey, n worst of all my 1+ yr old child can squeeze her head thru de railing on de top floor. That's when we decided to redo the stairs... Anyone can advise a very affordable & stylish railing n steps idea?? my plan was to overly de top wid timber n tempered glass railing wid timber top.. But the price is kinda steep... Wat stairs do families wid kids have? Any pictures to show old?

Thanks Cleong. ☺ tt's great to hear. Do u have a blog here s well? I'm a new EM home-owner. Any tips and/or advice for me on EM living pls? I've got 2 very mischievous kids (5+ & 1+) n an elderly living wid me. Comments from all r welcome.

Very nice.. How much did ur Reno cost?

Thanks thedottyness n May_dream1. 😃😃 Sure... I'll post de before n after pics.

Hi Potatoes n Jaskel, good morning to both of u. Thanks for de kind remarks. I'll try to post pictures here.. Still figuring tt out.. COV was manageable for me, cos I'm non-Chinese. My seller was also non-Chinese. So COV was 55K only... Heng ah!!!! The house was so well done we paid de deposit on de spot!! Hehe.. It was a steal, really! We'll be renovating de kitchen, kitchen toilet n balcony only. I'm asking a designer friend to help us out... Very excited ... I've learnt so much from fellow forumers here. 😍😍

Thanks thedottyness! ☺my place is behind Bishan Community Club. Where's ur place?

We've just bought an EM in Bishan. We collected keys last week... So excited... The house is well maintained, previous Reno was done just less than 2 yrs ago.. However we need to Reno de kitchen, kitchen toilet n balcony!! These 3 places r very outdated compared to de rest of de house.. I'll try to post pictures... Trying these out on my own for de first time.. 😁😁

Oh... Hhhmm .. Thanks for de advice, Bento28. Hubby n I will discuss wat to do abt it..

The corner drawer is an excellent system. Is it cheaper wid only drawers or would cost more?? I'm thinking of doing the same too..

Is tis promo still on-going??

Nice swing..

Ya.. Tt's wat I was expecting... Now I'm thinking wat to do ... Tt company is clearly giving me trouble.. De designer tells me its mgmt decision .. To give me tis ridiculous quote .. I asked to speak to his mgmt.. He replied my SMS tt they're busy!!!! Wat nonsense... !!! Looks like my $$ gone! Hubby tells me we'll proceed to CASE.. Haiz..

Nice house.. Spacious for 3 room... Congrats. Wish u a happy Reno.

Wat abt if u want wood planks on ur steps, on de part where u step only? How much wud de total come to?? I'm very upset by tis situation... 😔

Tis is wat happened.. We signed up wid ###### Werks. The total quote was 22K. We paid 2K for design fees, we were told tt it'll be deducted from de contract Amt. for de 2k tt we paid, we were given n invoice, which reads s AGGREMENTt on top. A few days later, due to P&C reasons, we didn't want to continue wid tis company. So we asked for partial Refund at least. De co refused! So we asked them to do our EM stairway only. N de designer got back to us wid a $12K quote!!! I think de company is sabo-ing us!!!!! Any comments pls??
