Hi Makanology, thanks for the welcome! How does it help to support the sink? I assume the sink is already supported by the carpentry right? Sorry, we're not very well-versed in such reno matters, and have many questions!

Hi, have a question for you guys. One of the contractors has quoted to erect a hollow block behind the kitchen sink as a wall support. My kitchen counter layout is a c shape, and the sink will be opposite the window, where the washing machine will be. Is this item necessary? It costs $400. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, We're starting our renovation soon and thought we'd like to share the process here, as we've gained many tips from reading the Renotalk forums and blogs the last few months. Here's the floorplan. It's a four-room resale flat in the North-east. Hacking works include all existing wall and floor tiles, and a doorway opening between the masterbedroom and bedroom 3. Carpentry is minimal- just a wardrobe and only bottom cabinets for the kitchen. For the kitchen counter top, we decided to go with quartz rather than solid surface as we will be doing quite a bit of heavy cooking. We also don't plan to have a TV feature wall. Overall, we're going for a simplicity meets Scandinavian look, and hope to do so within a modest budget! We'll be reviewing the IDs/contractors we met up with in our next post!

Hi, We are looking for a built-in oven (for baking) and would appreciate comments on which models worked (or unfortunately did not work!) for you. Our budget would be about 700 but better if it is lower. Hehe. Just need something basic as we are not expert bakers, and would be mostly baking savoury foods and perhaps bread, not so much cakes or complicated stuff. Would be a plus if it has a steam function as well. No need for microwave. Hope you home experts can give us some tips! Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, could you PM me the names of your IDs from icon d'zign please? Am thinking of engaging someone who recently left the place, but a little worried after reading all these bad reviews. I'm quite keen on this ID as his attitude was pretty earnest, but it sounds like all your nightmare IDs from the company started out appearing nice. Thank you in advance for your help!
