Week 4, Friday. No walls hacked. Still nothing done. Next week.

Week 2 and Week 3 almost ended. Nothing was done. -.-" "Due to the house being a pre fab unit, so the doorway has to have a gap of not more than 120mm from the column." Whatever, as long as I can get my house ready before "7月".

error in uploading pictures to renotalk gallery. used photo bucket. Week 1 - Day 7 I went to open letter box and to view the renovation progress with mum. After part of haulage works. Still pending permit for wall hacking.

I have the exact same layout as you~ just the beginning of my renovation. can share pictures of your bathroom. i am combining 2 toilet into 1. but is worried about the size. and can share also the price of laundry pulley system?

Week 1 - Day 4 Went off after work earlier than usual. Looks the same. I went again after dinner at the coffee shop with my hubby. The hacking of the common room is not done much yet. And we are still pending approval from HDB for the toilet walls hacking. *impatient*

Bought 3 items here due to the hospitality/service/good impression of that saleslady. Also the reasonable pricing for the atas-looking items. http://idealstandard.sg/ We bought the rest of our sanitary fittings and accessories from wasserbath because of the HUGE discount and pricing differences from the "abcalibabadunnothename" shop. Quote us 3k plus? den when I asked how about the discount we get since we are referred by our ID. about $400 lesser. Meaning, if i nvr ask, i will be carrot-ed $400 at least. Its okay. even after the discount, wasserbath is also cheaper. By a LOT. http://www.wasserbath.com/Home/Index.aspx I nvr take any photos cos it looks "normal". Bought the Hob and Storage heater there too.

Week 1 - Day 3 Went to our new home with a friend after work. It's getting dark so just one photo. Nothing much to see also. Wondering if our neighbours are at home in the afternoon.

Finally confirmed on our electrical works. After a long long long consideration. 3000 for concealing work (heard resale is not allowed) by ID 2300 for non-concealing work by ID (no need do any coordination, id settle?) 1900 for non-concealing work by hubby's friend (scare of conflicts with ID, schedule crash, mistakes?) Consider REALLY very long. . . . . Finally we decided to increase a bit of risk to save a lot of $. Also to support his friend and let his friend support us. Win-win! Next mon/tues, they will come and dismantle the existing wirings.

sounds expensive. use the $$ buy dyson tower fan. pretty. and I heard ceiling fan more for air ventilation purpose.

Ok. Tqvm. I am looking for the same design, but my ID quotes exceeded my budget. U know approx how much u spent on the main doors and bedroom doors? BTW, your house is a beauty.

Yamaha, hubby likes it. He rarely gives his opinion on things that we should buy. We got it. This is considered our first "electrical appliances" purchase. Courts Expo Fair. . We spotted this fridge at nex courts first, selling for $699. I decided for the bottom freezer when I read an article online. http://home.howstuffworks.com/appliances/new/advantage-to-bottom-freezer-refrigerators.htm Expo fair Gain city, Cheaper by $40 and a chance to win Mazda 3. Sold! Bought! 9 KG top load washer. Ex-National Brand = Panasonic. Should be good enough. The drama on that day after RHB banker "tricked" us. Bank doesnt open on public holidays, naive me thinking that bankers who do loans works 24/7. We arranged a meetup at his bank in the morning, he called about 1pm or 2pm saying he just wake up. After being pissed we saw the exact same air-con that ID is getting for us (from gain city) being cheaper by few hundreds. After a few " "calls, we happily bought it from expo (for the chances of mazda). I realised that his contacts is not from gain city, just that he showed me the model printout is from gain city. Anyway, all is good, money saved. We didnt take any photo for the 47" LG cinema smart whatever blah blah blah TV. It was from gain city expo fair hourly special, 5 sets only, if u want it then "snatch the paper". my hubby got the 36% of that piece of paper. Their sales tactic works. They managed to sell more than 5 sets. I bet that exact same TV is selling even cheaper 2 months later. Tio "tempted".

Own choice of tiles. Make it or break it. Did not choose it with my calm mind. Gut feel. Dont think it will be a major fail, if not ID will put up a strong rejection vibe (unless #evil, #servesyouright, #actsmart).

Below: will be hacking away the kitchen wall (pending HDB's approval) to have a bar top besides our dining area. Below: Toilet. Because of these big fat ugly pipes, ID suggesting to spend money to hide it (the usual method). Hope it works. Below: The place where we will have our fridge located. and our "menu/notices/to-do lists/to-buy" wall. Hacking away all visible tiles.
