It range from $800 to $2500, depending on the material that you have choosen. You should choose the material and get the quote from them. We can help to see if the material given justify for the quoted cost. DIY method We just bought the wall fitting + rods from IKEA yesterday and carry it back to JM flat. Total damage of 4 room flat - $160 ( Excluding cab fare of $4.00 ) Curtains - Look out for sale at John Little, Taka, Robinson. ( Must have their credit cards to obtain maximum discounts ) - Visit curtain shops to compare the price with above mentioned big shopping centre after including 20% discount. - Look out for year end sale at Spotlight - Source for your material and can get aunties to sew it for you. This is purely my way of getting the most out of the budget that I have.

Hi Happy, Here's a few link to resort style design. I did my research with various resort hotel websites which is located in beach areas. http://www.renotalk.com/main/360tour/operaestate/tour.php http://conradhotels1.hilton.com/en/ch/hote...ctyhocn=BPNCICI http://conradhotels1.hilton.com/en/ch/hote...CICI&page=2 http://www.livingpod.com/lifestyle/funky_resort/index.html http://kuantan.regency.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp

Thanks ! Really hope that my cement can be done soon.

I took a taxi from Bukit Merah. Cost about $15 - $16 per trip. To make a plan before you reach there cause you would not want to wonder around in this ulu place. To take note the list of furniture store that you would want to visit and prepare a map ( From street directory internet ) IFC is not fully renovated yet when I was there on Wednesday. However, I managed to purchased 2 TV consoles, foyer table, bed frames(special order), table, 1 bench, 2 chairs, 1 small bookcase cum display table + 2 accessories for below $2200 from a bailnese style furniture store. Under 0% installement plan and after 10% discount for year end sale.

Thanks Xlan, What a long wait ! Hi Bee joy, You can try Sungei Kadut area where they are quite a number of furniture warehouses. But please do not to go to Red Axxple to buy furnitures. Hi Happy, Sure ! That photo is for you. Monkeybone is a cartoon character from a comic/movie in 2002 which I find it very funny. Moreover, pp used to call me 瘦皮猴 in the past. Now, I am auntie size le.

Peanut will be staying with the REAL father ( My FIL ). He is really cute but a pity got a very very GOOD father so he is not toilet-trained at all.

The renovation schedule is concise and clear. I should get my ID to give me this on Saturday. Does anyone know when will HDB starts the cement screeding after he(HDB officer) views the flat ?

Hi Sparey, Not to worry so much, your ID might be doing the wiring, false ceiling, L-box, kitchen bases + painting before the cement screeding. It is quite okay. At least, they do not have to rush everything when your screeding is done in Early/Mid December. I have u/l the photos in my blog. Do take a look at Monkeybone In Town.

Hi, Sure! Will let you know once the renovation is completed. Dear Linggie, Sparey, One Post Wonder, Happy Birthday to all of you ! My renovation is delayed until Monday due to praying session on Saturday for "Dong Du" by the PIL.

Yox, Yes. She is nice loh and even fetch us from HDBhub to JM. Hi Zila, U r right, It is classic D ! It should be on tmr or Saturday because I just went through the auspicious date for renovation. I feel so sick now. Took MC today cause my throat is swelling, head feels like splitting into half. My completion date is b4 Xmas too Anyone planning to move in on 24 or 28 Dec 2007 because these are 2 goods dates for moving home.

Yup. I think u may be referring to Tanglin Halt flats. Saw a couple of scary news. They are stealing our hard-earned money. My ID also says nvr bring in those microwave, LCD so soon. Once these purchases arrives, she will change our numberpad lock to good key pad lock. Hence, if your contractor does not provide this service. I will suggest that you get a good key pad lock on the day u open the door.

hehe! A Renovation Audit Club can be established.

I was the one at Blk 26C. So shiok ! Luckily, there wasn't any defect.

Hi Crrabb, I bought a black blanco sink too w/o the tap because their tap are too pricey. Black sink look classic and it matches my black stove too.

Sure! No problem. I am clearing my anuual leave now or my company eat it all up. hehe ! Pai seh. Must talk nicely to the officer and show then u care about them and then I got the key collection date within a day. Luckily, nvr ask my hb to talk to them, surely get the keys in 2008. How much did u pay for it ? We bought a Slumberland king size classic bed at $1300 without making any research ? Do u think it is expensive ?

Hi Happy, As promised, you are welcome to see see look look my renovation. Gotta call hubby and plan our buying spree. Hi Binzz, Thanks ! I think I can visit you on 13 Nov since I am sure u will be at JM on Tuesday . Do pm me if u are free for a cup of coffee bean break.

Congrat ! Looking forward to your renovation photograph .

Hi Redbottle & Dorcas, Yup, I am referring to Mount Faber Safra. U need not be a Safra member to use the facilities. U can either opt for a monthly gym membership or pay the daily fee for a day usage. U get to view the stars from the jucuzzi which is located beside the gym if u choose to go there in the night time. VERY ROMANTIC. I used to go on Friday because there is "ladies night" so I paid only half price of the normal rate. They even provide free towel for everyone. Promotion Information http://www.safra.sg/UserFiles/File/EnergyO...igger_table.jpg

HB says ID mentioned it as $55/pt. Yox. Safra Swimming pool is shiok mah. Can go jucuzzi + steambath after the gym. hehe!

Hi Happy, I saw my unit. Can I d/l the photo to show my frds? When did u apply for cement screeding ? Is it more than 3 weeks from the date of application ?

Paying 30% for the 1st payment before any work done is too high. Please negotiate with them. I am planning to pay next 40% on the day when the wet work/ material arrive my place.

What is Radac std term ?

JIA YOU ! JIA YOU ! U have a holiday tmr, go and look for more ID.

hehe ! No worry ! U got yourself a ID or contractor already ?
