    Thanks Weijie. Sound advice. Only I am unsure if the ID will be unwilling though but I will try.

    Hello! Very nice flooring!! I am confused now... When I googled, it said Vinyl is better than laminate. When I asked ID, they said vinyl is better. When i read renotalk, it is the opposite. HELP!

    Reading your T-blog is addictive (some more reading from iPhone 4 - crossed eye liao!) that it is now 2am!! Congratulations on getting the keys. You succeeded in spoiling the momento when you broke the news on keys collection date. I thought you were already there up to that point! Haha. Anyways, nice 3D drawings, great concept choice and your many many many impulse purchases and being reprimanded on it haha. I can't wait to read on your next progress!! One question I have on flooring - you ended up buying from Bilrich (?) directly but who will do the installation? If it is not Calvin, does it mean he will reduce his initial quotation? The ID I like is partnering with Power Dekor (China Brand I think) but I love Inovar so I have no idea how to go from there. If you could share your experience, I would be most grateful! Right. Goodnight!

    I am confused. Currently I am looking to re-do my resale flat. Different ID of course will give quote based on their preferred Laminate Or Vinyl Flooring partner. Do I search myself and go direct to supplier? Or should I just inform the ID of my preferred brand?

    I would probably place my dining table at B and make A like a cosy corner?

    Oh then that's not tiny budget! Hahaha. My flat is about 15-16yrs old at Dr.14. You will love Woodlands When is the completion date for you reno? It's good u get a place where they never reno before so you can do everything from scratch

    My budget is about 40K too but you managed to do quite a lot of hacking. How is that possible? I can't afford so will be hacking only floor/wall tiles of 2 toilets and kitchen wall tiles because I want to paint them instead. The rest = all overlay. I like how you transform your kitchen - very nice especially you can get a mini island there with the sink.

    Congratulations you on your completed house. Lovely!

    Wow you are not Rumbling in Style but you are Rumbling with Style. Love the job you did! Congrats!

    Hi Joann Welcome to RT and to Woodlands/Admiralty! From the breakdown, it looks like an extensive work! I wonder what is the reno budget also. Care to share?

    Maybe I'll try to get my Chinese to help me navigate Taobao website heh. It's so cheap that it's becoming too tempting! Thanks for the cooker hob info and the link - will give it a try. I went to Meyer the other day, they have a set for like 1.2K-1.3K, can't quite remember the brand though.

    Hi 3Dyms! OMG! I absolutely LOVE your house. Can I come to view please? Just the first floor because I want to see the kind of door, the wall wood trim, furnitures! HAHAHA.

    Hello Heavenlyn May I know if your flooring in living area is super polished tiles? What do you use for your bedroom?
  15. Ashley Adam
    Hi. May I know how much you spent on Cooker, Hood and Oven from AsiaExcel? I am still figuring what I will need for my place. I tried TaoBoa last week but hmmmm I can't quite understand to navigate the website (for obvious reasons) so I think I will have to give this a miss. Maybe I will just find something in Malaysia instead. haha.

    At lease 1/2 or 1/3 of the whole length of shower screen? I should think it works just as fine even without the swing door? I met one contractor who claimed to have fixed panel, I can't do a drop/recess shower area but must have kerb. What nonsense! Haha
  17. Ashley Adam
    Hi Sandy Quick question, is your shower screen come with a swing door or only fixed glass panel? I am thinking of doing the latter.
  18. Ashley Adam
    Hi Koori At first I had wanted to go the contractor route but since I am a novice, better not just in case hahaha. Do u hve to tell your contractor specifically where u want things? Or what flooring or tiles u want? Do they buy the tiles for u or u have to get yourself?
  19. Ashley Adam
    That's quite an idea. Now that I know what they quoted for certain things with their own brand, maybe I should start to list out exactly what I want like vinyl or laminate brand, give them pic of doors that I want and such and ask them to quote. But will they charge higher if what we want is not their preferred partner you think?

    Hi. Welcome to the reno world! So it is not weird or awkward right to make the ID waited for months for us to be ready? Because I am doing that before I can decide.
  21. Ashley Adam
    Hi Songz... Indeed it does tremendously! I did the summary on excel quite awhile ago but also hard to compare apple to apple when they sometimes lumped certain stuff.

    In between signing the OTP and a couple of weeks away from collecting the keys, I had only intended to re-do the kitchen and 2 toilets only due to budget constraint. Being a novice in renovation (since this is my very first flat), I knew absolutely nothing. I can't even tell the difference between cylinder gas or pipe gas, or even knew what casement means. Never heard of FUJIOH and whatnots. Yes, it was that bad. To start things off, I sent an online request for "free" quotes via iCompare and Renotalk. Lo and behold, multiple calls started to come in and gazillion emails pouring in. At first I was excited to share my small renovation plan but after awhile, I was exhausted and exasperated! So that was when I decided to calm down and take my time to try to understand each quote slowly. At the same time, doing my research on these IDs to find out their past, present projects as well as looking up for reviews on them online, before committing any appointments.

    This resale flat was the 2nd unit that I viewed and I fell in love almost immediately - probably due to the layout and how clean the flat was! As the valuation was not out then, I had to wait almost 7 days to hear from the seller's agent. I was feeling anxious, nervous and all that! Finally, the day arrived! I received the much anticipated message - the valuation was out!! Lucky star was on my side as the price was within my budget or rather at an amount that I could afford (almost! haha). So I arranged for a second viewing and this time during the day. Not long after, I was signing the OTP and giving them the deposit to secure the flat. Deep in my heart, I knew THIS IS IT.

    Hi... do you remember what laminate is in your living room? Name or model? It is very nice! I ADORE your tv console!
  25. Ashley Adam
    Ok you just make me worry! This is like choosing a life partner! Hahaha
