monsieurlee 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) I have a set of wish lists which may not materialise:1) Kronotex flooring - the new floorings which looks like long plank of solid wood flooring. Yet it is laminates! http://www.kronotex.com.sg/cms/beitrag/10008590/186939.htm so far not many people are doing it.2) uPVC windows < -- common standards in europe! But so expensive here in Singapore - asked for a quote for my place and it costs $5k!! But they looked great and certainly look class! http://www.integrate.com.sg/integrate/uPVCwinDor.htm 3) PDdoor: http://www.pddoor.com/Excellent bi-folding technique! I will be asking for their quotes. I went to their showroom and they said it costs about $280 per bifold door for toilets!! 4) Rain shower head5) Nice leather 2 seater sofa 6) Plasma TV (top of the mind panasonic or Samsung 42")7) Side-by-Side Fridge Spamchop! Welcome to renotalk! $30k for 3 room... wat kind of theme are u looking at? Looking forward to seeing the pictures dude! Yes Jaw Drop indeed! But the flat is totally run down and i have to reconstruct it somehow. I believe i had been ripped off at some point in between. If you look at my main blog you can see how much individual items i was quoted...Anywayz the theme i am looking at is modern, cozy feeling. Not Zen, just modern. Worth $30K? I am not sure. I am going to chop some items from the quotes and get someone else to do it. Edited August 27, 2007 by monsieurlee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Renovation damaged quoted at about 30k exclude electrical and furniture mind you!Hi monsieurlee Welcome to RenoTalk Wow, lucky you! You've got a neat squarish layout Depending on materials and how extensive the reno works are, $30k is not surprising. I've seen a 3-rm unit in AMK, total reno costs were abt $64k :faintz:Looking forward for your reno journey and happy renovating Edited August 27, 2007 by gendon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monsieurlee 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 Hi monsieurlee,Looking forward to seeing the transformation to a modern reno. Good squarish place is great. Enjoy the reno period. I hope it will transform into the nice abode I want...I would enjoy the final place later but I think I cannot handle the reno period!! It will be such a pain!!Hi monsieurlee Welcome to RenoTalk Wow, lucky you! You've got a neat squarish layout Depending on materials and how extensive the reno works are, $30k is not surprising. I've seen a 3-rm unit in AMK, total reno costs were abt $64k :faintz:Looking forward for your reno journey and happy renovating Yah that is why i grab this unit even though the place was super run down...I dun think am doing so much work there, i be doing overlay and no kitchen wall tiles too...so 30k seemed alot to me *heartache* money hard to earn and loan hard to pay!$64k for 3 room!!!! This is like 2/5 of the purchase price of my place!! no way - then I rather plonk in money for a bigger place lor...welcome to renotalk !!can't wait to see some pix of the current state of the unit I can't bear to see the place...when i first saw it it was already run down.

monsieurlee 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 OMG - what a surprise! My agent rang me up 9 times. Well why 9 times, coz i had been busy meeting and away and had these 9 miss calls.He told me he would be able to deliver the keys to me in 20 mins to my new place! Yayyy so happy and totally unexpected.So i got my colleagues to drive me down to my new place. Guess what...the mangali were moving out still and the whole place got a stale stench. They use aluminium foil to cover up the window panes and the place was dark! There was terrible stench in the toilet and the kitchen....There were one big wardrobe (look like it belong to era eyon) and one display cabinet in another room. There is a run down washing machine in the toilet! So my agent growl at the mangali to haul those things out. But they as usual drag their feet and refuse to do so! But finally gave in. They move out the cabinet, then moved the washing out. To our horror, the washing was infested with roaches!! Euuuuhhhh....and when they move it roaches were gushing out!! To our biggest HORROR there was a RAT i mean RAT BIG one the size of a CAT jumped out!! Not exaggerating! Everyone was petrified - even the mangali jumped! my agent then went around to look for the rat! Noone could find it! And finally we were not convinced that the rat was gone, we went mouse hunting. To be honest the place was so small u could know where it was! But it was gone! Surprisingly!! Guess what?We finally found it...taaadaaaa.....at the kitchen window sill the opening of the casement....trying to evade us! And my agent quickly got the mangali to close the window and then bring down the casement and the RAT FELL 6 floor down! I think it did not fall 6 floor down! Guess what? As the window to the toilet of my poor nighbour on the 5th floor was open, it actually fell in!! Anyway that was the drama mama and evening time brought my parents there to bai bai with incense and joss paper. Then also got a window contractor to come measure my windows. Quoted me 1000% cheaper than my designer. I took up his offer and will tell my designer to remove that item tom when i see him. Tom i will go take some pictures, will post how run down the place it. Too bad I cannot import the smell of the flat, else it will make u cringe.Till then... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
