hi josephine, welcome to our neighbourhood~ OO...20k for renovation, i feel dat it seem to b a very good price...hmm..tink since u not rushing to move in, tik the period for ur showflat shd be ok kua. hmm...6mths...really abit long...wonder mayb they will slowly renovate ur unit nicely?? then perhaps the period for using ur unit as showflat might be consider shorter??? anyway, do they clean ur hse when they returned u ur unit??? trust dat ur unit shd b very nice cos it's considered as their portfolio to showcase their clients... Hi all. im back! wow so many pixs and updates! anyone went to the expo home deco fair? i went ytd. it will end next sunday. just a tip for those doing lamination flooring.. do specify if u wanna 8mm or 12mm. cos i heard from the direct supplier that most ID will give 8mm ones but this range will soon be extinct prob aft 5-8yrs so if we need replacement, there may be no more tiles then we need to change WHOLE flooring even if its only one tile spoilted! but of course its more costly for 12mm ones la.. then there is another kind.. engineered ones where u can feel the texture. much much nicer but also costly.. almost $3000 for just the 3 bedrooms.. there's some freebies if u sign up at the fair also.. but don rush in. cos may end up signing on impulses then later regret.. hi strawberry_pear, can u email me (josephine_limkh@hotmail.com) for the rates u gotten for the diff kitchen applications also. =) Thks.
