Shall start to post photos of the empty and virgin house of mine! It was in this state when I got my keys and without any doors cause we didnt want the doors from hdb inside the house and tiles as we wanna do it ourselves! So I will slowly introduce picture by picture for better understanding! This is the walkway towards the main door This is our small and cosy kitchen of the left side with sink there And the right side of the kitchen where fridge and cooker would be placed! And the Service Yard! And right side of the service yard for washing maching and dryer! Audrey

brandonlky: Wah why so happy like that? hahas Rax: Hahas, Can ar! Know more neighbours and can have gatherings often also to build bonds between each other in the same blk!

Why say out the unit number! Later people come and stalk me how????? Audrey

Hahas, Hello.. Same blk too? if same blk then yeah we're neighbours on the same floor cause I live on the 10th as well! You done your renovation already? Audrey

thedottyness: Thanks! Yeah shall try and post the pictures soon of the empty house before reno! brandonlky: Thank You! mikeyong500: Thank You! Yeah hopefully the renovations goes smoothly without much hiccups! Audrey

Basically now midst of confirming ID/contractor to start actual renovation on the house. We have confirmed the tiles for living/dining and room 2 cause my daddy's helping me to do FOC as a sponsor for me as he's a general contractor and has contacts with people for laying neat and beautiful tiles nicely without problems! Cause we feel tiles should be done nicely and not compromise on the workmenship and I trust my daddy's works and his many contacts hence we let him do the tiles first! Went to Sin Lek Materials, Hafary and White Horse Ceremic to look at the tiles and see if there's any we like. In the end we choose the tiles from Hafary cause there's this one on new arrival and the patterns look marble like and its pretty modern so we decided on that for living/dining area + the passage ways! * Forgotten to take photo of the tiles but will take again when its done! * The price wasnt cheap for that particular one we chose cause its $4 p.s.f but hope it's worth it in the end! * Fingers Crossed * Meanwhile every weekend is burned by looking at electronic items and furnitures! -_- But we have already brought fridge, cooker and hob, oven and washing machine & dryer! And also a 42" LED TV from courts the other day when we were out shopping for about $800 plus, already discounted at half price for our own master room! Audrey

Hi everyone! Been reading up stuffs on renovations, various IDs and Contractors etc etc and esp viewing topics on people's progress on their new house with the good and bad reviews on reno, Hence decided to start a small and slowly progressing thread of my own reno blog here (hopefully I have the effort and time to slowly chart progress!) Hope that the seniors in renovating can give me more ideas and help me along the way as well cause I know nuts about renovating! Geez, am still in the midst of confirming ID/Contractor cause mostly cannot make it and some too expensive that makes me feel like we are putting our neck there for them to hack! So enough of my own intro, shall put the floor plan first! Uploaded with ImageShack.us Audrey PS: I may ask loads of questions along the way so please bear with me, Thanks all in advance!

Tell me about it man, Been talking to dont know how many ID/Contractor already and yet either design not to our taste or feel like kenne tock raddish! Shortlisted 2-3 so now just waiting to see the more finalised quotation and if okay then CONFIRM LAH! But thank god saved a sum of money on doing tiles for living/dining and bedroom 2 cause my daddy is doing FOC for me as he is a general contractor and he has contacts with his friend for laying beautiful tile nicely on the ground prefectly! So we already saved like 3k plus already Audrey
