I'm curious...y u used "contractor" instead of "ID"? We are using the same ID rite??

Haha great idea to convert it to a holiday chalet! But my wife and I are really really looking forward to move into our first home! So I am determined to move in by Jun 12! Hope everything will be smooth smooth!

Thanks your invitation! But I have plans for this weekend already. Furthermore, my reno has no flooring works beside the cabinet base and shower kerb.

Oh dear, I doing mainly carpentry works.

Thanks everyone for the support! I guess for first timer, its normal to feel gan chiong (nervous) when such things happens? I planned to paint the floor skirtings...hope its already included in the quotation.

Ya! 2 mths already! A bit sai yang when I think of the SCC that I will be paying before we moved in. You measured every corner against the floor plan? I salute you!

Hi NeoBy, Mainly carpentry works in Kitchen, TV wall + console, WIW, shower screen & vanity for Master toilet. Read your post and saw not so gd remarks - additional assembly cost for the shower unit and workers forget to lock the gates. Feel a bit sian already...

Hi everyone! Have been MIA for quite sometime due to the busy work schedule and holidays. Some updates on my ID searching/selection: After talking to a few IDs, I have finally selected my ID - Rick from Ideal House. Reasons? Just to name a few - quotation is fair, very knowledgable guy, esp in lightings, able to click, always contactable, nice personality...etc. Other IDs I have approached includes: 1)Rhiss Interior 2)Designer guys 3)Summit Design 4)Unimax Creative They are also good. However, I think Rick is still the best choice for us. If you want to know the details about other IDs, do feel free to PM me. I read from another RT post that there is a need to knock the pacquet to ensure they are properly glued to the ground. Din do the other time so got to do another round of check this weekend... The rectification works are already completed and I was looking forward to start renovation once the 3D drawings are done. Hope the BSC guys will rectify it before my 3D drawings are done... Another concurrent activity I'm doing now is that I am asking around for A/C quotation. Requested from Aron, Hong Tar and Coolserve. One problem is that I need air ventailation for the WIW, so I'm thinking if I should install A/C for the WIW or just use fan... anyone has any advise?

While my wife is watching korean drama on her laptop on christmas day, I read up on home appliances and created my (partial) wish list for home applicances! Hood-Fujioh hood FX900 (Popular recommendation by fellow RT friends!) Hob-RB-2CG or RB-3CG (Preferred the glass surface for easy maintenance and inner fire design for faster cooking! Still thinking if we will need 3 burners) Washing machine - Shortlisted Bosch or Electrolux. (BTW, to wash a king-size bedsheet, what size should the washer be? 7 or 8kg? Once I confirmed the size, the deciding factors will be the noise & water efficency.) Dryer - Shortlisted Bosch, Electrolux and Ariston. (Ariston is recommended by my friend since he has been using it for a few year. For dryer, the deciding factor is power consumptions.) Fridge - No particular preference, a four ticks power consumption efficency rating and a capacity of ~400litres will do. My wife wants to get a Fisher & Paykel though. Air-con- Choosing between Mitsubishi starmex inverter and Panasonic inverter. Both power rating is about the same but Panasonic has a model that has a silverish finish that looks nicer. Anyone has comments on the after-sale support? TV- No particular preference. Most importantly, provide free on-site repairs within the warranty period. Oven-Haven't read up on it

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

Thanks!

Hi MingzhuAug, do you remember what is the nick of that someone in renotalk that did glass sliding doors for her WIW? She don't really know what she want until last night when she surf the net for sample pictures, den she told me she want something similar to this. Hi potatoes! What is glass panel for study workplace? Do you mean a partition using glass panel? How come the mechanism is ex? I thought just need to build sliding tracks for the doors will do? Thanks for all the advises given on the ceiling fan. I still want a ceiling fan to cool the living room fast my flat has afternoon sun. But I think I will not go for those with lighting kits. Whoever is my ID going to think harder for the lighting plan for the LR I like the LR to be bright and feel clean~~~~

Hi everyone! I'm still in the progress of meeting the IDs and I plan to meet all by end of next week. BTW, could someone advise me on the following please: 1)I planned to place a ceiling fan with lighting kit in my living room such as the Fanco Fan in the picture below. But I was told that the light will flicker and you will get headache after a while. Is this true? 2)I'm doing a WIW for my wife but I don't like the idea of having no casement/sliding doors for the wardrobe as I want to keep the dust out. Although this WIW will be in an enclosed area, there is a window where my wife will open it occasionally for better ventilation if required- this means more dust! I thought of building sliding doors with full see-through glass. This way, it still retains the feel of a WIW and yet keeps the dust out. How about this idea? Would it look ugly or weird?

May_dream1, thanks for passing me your ID's contact.

Really? Where's ur home? Is ur Reno over? Breeze~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yes Yes! But will take a few day off this weekend to celebrate christmas Thanks! Breezers r coming!

Hi footprint, Finally read through all your T-blog in 2 nights! Very pretty home! My wife commented that she love your kitchen, particularly, the colours of the cabinets. Could you pass us Rick's contact? Thank you!

Thanks! Ya.... I fully agreed! Some of the shortlisted IDs are currently busy with other projects and cannot take on mine.

Thanks for clicking my t-blog! Finally, after 3 years plus of waiting, my dearest wife and I gotten our key to our first property and space, AKA. home sweet home - 5-rm premium flat in punggol! Currently, while waiting for the defects to be rectified, I am sourcing for an ID to create the home that we want! Approached a few shortlisted IDs from RT and are still arranging for our first meet-up. I will talk about them after I received their first quote. In the meantime, here is the floorplan:
