Hi Skywolf. how much did your reno cost?

Skywolf, I think 80% we are letting Ho Bee doing the reno. Hubby met up with Patrick and thinks he is quite professional and moreover, so many in forum praises about Ho Bee workmanship. Total quote in overhauling the whole house is 36K. hahaahah!~

Applefreak, it includes 15 ft full height wardrobe and a dresser. Ho Bee quoted me 3800 for a 22 ft kitchen cabinet and 6 ft full height wardrobe is 2900. How much is ur parquet? I also wanna save... but hubby stubborn fool... sometimes feel like him...

Anyway hor... I foresee sure a lot of problems one if we use this contractor. I prefer HO BEE.. their quote cheaper than what this uncle quote. Arrange Patrick to meet my hubby this coming Monday and see how... I told hubby, if HO BEE cheap, then let them do it. I dun want later waste unnecessary $$$... and I know my in laws sure face black.

Sorry and pai sey arh... My hubby add up wrongly... Total is 40K. The uncle give a lump quote... No carpentry for all bedrooms.. only master. The dresser also in there. 1.

L. S. $1,550.00 I still feel a bit expensive but what to do... Me machiam got no say like that. I want downlight he says no need this and that. Argh!

Muahahaha!! Yah you are right ... i am who you think I am.. LOLZ! Ver spacious for your place. Anyway, we already confirm a contractor... Overhaul whole place including plastering all the walls and mynmar parquet for the 4 bedrooms cost 29K. This contractor is my Sister in law's bf father ( waste my time to ask for other quotes ) Likewise we had no time, now I am preggie, cannot even see the reno site at all... only hubby can do it. So he rather give it to someone he known and realiable.

Wah skywolf, glad ur reno is progressing well... me simi also not yet started. Everything hubby wanna handle and handle. Ur house and bedrooms look big... 126 sqm right?

Morning!! Anyone knows how long HO Bee takes to get back to you on the quotation? I sent to Patrick for quotation a week ago but now still no sound no news.
