Sigh.. Abit hor? That is also the reason why I am pushing my housewarming date further and further away... This time, really for real, had consider my final options for the house.

Already gave the contractor the design I want... Waiting for quotation nia.. But of course, all these will wait till I am 100% sure that I will not lose my job and I will be debt free lar..

katvolution 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 oie.. those are my words leh.. but you say 2 mths later will do lor.. which means you are not running out of money.. 2 months later will do coz both our 13th month coming in mah... Either we do the wallpapers, or we do the mini pub plus all the doors.. As long as we never touch our savings can liao... We just treat the 13th month as bonus for us to do up the house completely.. If got extra bonus, of course, we will proceed to do everything.. To me, it's just a goal... A desire.. Anyway, we got to change the tyres of his car liao.. Another 1k+ gone...

katvolution 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 hmm....ok...but considering that u just did your reno not long ago, i feel it's abit too soon to do another major revamp...but then, hua hee dio ho..haha...but now then u decide to do, won't your whole house become very dusty? then where u all going to stay in the meantime?!? Yup... But 1st time.. Left out alot of important items... Sigh..Uneven walls etc.. So, really wanna do it up nicely once and for all... Actually, no really major revamp lar.. It's consider add-ons? Wallpaper does not interfere with any of the fixtures.. No need to remove anything... Just need plastering... As for the cosy corner, always wanted to do it up... But no proper ideas.. Now, I already have the idea in mind.. Just a matter of fact when to do it nia... If that time do it during reno, then now, no need to waste my brain cells liao... Will be dusty.. 2 weeks ago, we just did plastering for 2 walls mah.. But it's quite fast.. About 1 day job.. So, most likely, just need to spend the night cleaning away... But I believe, with the final outcome, the efforts are worth it.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
