Hello footprint! Hahaha, how did u know ar, did i gave too obvious hints or you must be active in Jadespring FB =P We decided on the divider cos we didn't want to open the door then can see the whole house le, so got abit of privacy.. Hee, i didn't say hack kitchen wall wor, i say hack wall, haha, its to hack the wall between MBR and bedroom 2 for my walk-in-wardrobe..Hehe. We headache choosing painting colour.. alrdy chosen bt decided to wait to put into the 3D drawing again b4 confirming colour.. Whats the theme of your house? Yah, comfort level most impt bah, our quotation stated pretty clearly, me and fiance went through many times and compared with various quotation found their most comprehensive..Haha. Thanks for your advise though, top-up inevitably if its requested from us definitely but well, since we chosen our ID must have faith in him! Hehe. I got question, how u insert the signature at the end of ur post? Sorry ar, new here a lot of things dunno how to use =P

Hahaha thanks for welcoming me! =) was still trying out how to upload the pics lucky got the guide at the main page. LoL.

Hi all.. Thought I should start a t-blog to detail down our renovation process since its our very first home together which is at JadeSpring @ Yishun =) My fiance and I will be getting our keys in a few days time and SUPER excited can, been waiting and waiting, seeing other pple collecting their keys one by one thinking when is our turn.. But actually our flat initial expected completion date was supposed to be July 2012, and we are getting this quarter~! Imagine how fast it was built =) Of cos the first process was to search for an ID and we actually begin looking around since Jan this yr and finally finalised our ID in March.. Went through the same process, go through forum, ask around for recommendations, went IMM, went exhibition fairs and msging IDs asking for quotes and all.. It was so so tiring! But i guess its a happy one.. and i begin to feel its even more exciting to build our 1st home than preparing for our wedding which is in Oct later this year.Haha. Finallyyyyy.. selected our ID - Sunny from Baroque Design, I know there are bad reviews/comments about him here in renotalk, however fiance and I decided we are comfortable with him and his quote was 1 of the cheapest that we've sourced with more stuff and he's easy to negotiate and finally decided when he brought us to a flat he completed about 8 mths ago (and that was the flat that the lady from this forum intro) Like we told him our budget really really tight he will try his best to work within it and would tell us what can be done and what cannot be done. There were 2 things, one was the kicthen backing, told him we decided to do it, but as he know $$ tight, so total measurement was 13ft but he quote 10ft price and 3ft discount, also initially we didn't want window grills for whole house (only doing grills+windows for service yard initially), but later decided to do it due to safety reasons, and there's this small one he decided not to charge that small grill =) Sometimes you can tell whether an ID is sincere about doing your business or just simply wants to close his sale and then just leave it to his workers to do and don't really go down for site inspection of his workers. I've met an ID, already told him our budget, yet he went ahead to add this and add that, end up the quote was about $6K higher than our budget! and he said if we don't like from there can reduce from what he proposed, we didn't sense his sincerity though and heard he doesn't even require to go down to do on site measurement.. -_-" Anyways, as for Sunny, not all pple can accept his beng-ness laa, haha, but fiance and I easy-going and actually after meeting him a few more rounds he's really easy to talk to la, not rigid kind, and everytime i got things to ask him, sure can find him and he respond to me very fast. As a lot of pple say before, its really your comfort level with the ID, whether or not can click. Maybe I can click with this person, but you might not think so, so quite subjective lor. Haha. Our reno would probably start late next week once he submit to HDB and get approval to start reno and cos we are hacking a small wall, need to get PE approval also..Can't wait for it to start and be completed. Ok, think too much words, shall let the pictures do the talking, we are pretty satisifed with the 3D drawing, but all colours and materials not selected, its just a view for us to go home think if there's any things we wanna change or what.
