Hi How much are the trees does anyone know? I called up one of the shops at Tekka Mall and they told me its $100. That's quite ex.... any other places sell cheaper one? I am looking for a medium height kind.

Haha ok now I know. I was still worried next time my toilet bowl spoil then my floor tiles gone case!

[so for now, it's pics time! tiling begins in the mbr bathroom: closeup on the tiling worksmanship: my decorative tile for mbr bathroom: my kitchen flooring done n laid with some protection sheet n lots of dust!! Nice! I have the same MBR wall tiles too!

Hi! Take your time to search for IDs/ contractors. I met up with almost 10 of them and requested countless quotations before deciding on contractor instead of ID. Btw I tot if change toilet bowl will affect the flooring also?

anyone can post pics of the tracks for the string curtains? If use those 3M stick on hooks can it hold?

We also gave up on All Best! Forfeited our deposit and ended up wasting $ and using another shop! The uncle was nice in the beginning after we paid deposit, had a hard time contacting him and the shop ppl keep saying only he can handle... wat rubbish!

I like ur room doors very nice! Is it ex? Btw I read ur post abt removing stains on the aluminium grilles. Did u try cleaning? Coz I also have same grilles fr prev owner clean alr still like that...

PUB inspection not necessary right? So will be cheaper ?Mine is also old flat not main upgrading ....

Can let me know where u got it? How much is it rougly so that I can gauge for budget? My flat is mid level so delivery shouldnt be that bad? Hehe

Oh wat brand did he get for u? Cheaper or same price as outside? Mace, U mean they quote based on which level? Hmm ok so nobody did full length mirror for the walls?

My reno is prob gonna start next wk hopefully! I must say that Patrick has been very patient... I changed my mind many times and got so many revised quotations from him Hopefully no more changes... Btw can i check if any one of u did full length mirrors for ur homes? I am thinking of adding but dunno if cost will be high. And for electrical works, does Patrick provide the switches or we got to get ourselves?

Hi, I was quoted $120 for submission& single drawing $120 for apply SP services testing $220 for E.L.C.B Is that necessary? I am doing rewiring for my 4rm resale. Also I was quoted for both 13amp single and double switch. Isnt double enough? Total cost ended up to be ard $2.8k! I though this was ridiculous... someone pls let me know if this is the normal rate?

Hi yellow, I like ur cofee table. Where did u get it and how much?

What about just cement screed over the kitchen wall tiles? Mine's an old resale flat so wonder if there will be any risk if I dont hack the kitchen tiles and just cement screed/ plaster it?

Yes pls post pics ! I have not decided on my ID yet... am considering Ho Bee as well. Hope to cfm these few wks

Ya he quoted me that too... but i want to know roughly total cost of electrical wiring if I do false ceiling and Lbox. That means need how many more light points? Is it around $1k or 2k?

Anyone did their electrical/ rewiring thru Patrick's electrician? any rough estimate so I can budget mine? I dun know if I need to rewire whole hse as mine is quite an old flat.

Platform for all rooms? quite unique concept first time come across I guess your cost is high coz of all the capentery works tc console etc.

Ya I did... told him my budget is about $25k. Maybe he feels its too low for him. But I feel at least should say or get back at least . Some of the IDs also quoted above $25k but its reasonable for me. Haiz somemore its my fren who referred me to him I forgot to add ya he's a nice guy...not that he was nasty or wat. Btw how many IDs have u looked ard?Compare more for choices... what are u doing for $40k?

Ok thanks! no need top up means no need extra costs I know his reputation gd but i just want to see to assure myself haha. Coz his quote is not much diff fr most of the IDs -I feel Ho Bee's workmanship would be better just scared end up wun achieve the kind of look i want.

Same ID! He's the onli ID i went that did not get back on quotations.

Can i go and view also?? Patrick said he will arrange but till now never get back leh...

Dun think I want to get diff sub contractor. Will get everything to be done by Patrick just that i tot we need to be like "project manager" for his workers hehe. Thanks for the clarifications! Did anyone have to top up for the tiles if its $3/tile or is it sufficient for most tiles? anyone view his completed/ midst of completed homes before deciding?

Oh whats his name?
