softballer 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2008 good to hunt and confirm a contractor now coz you still need to source, compare price and check workmanshipby the time you finalise someone, think rectification works should be done liao (if they can do it in 2mths that is )for contractor.. u need to have a design in mind.. then the contractor will do up for u.. not easy ba.. to coordinate the theme etc..

simpleguy80 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2008 That sounds real pray that they won't delay further...Ya they will delay and delay. My works have been delayed from last year until now still havent complete. Although some have been done like retiling for the whole house and changing sliding door. The toilet bowls, doors and windows are currently in process. As i mentioned, luckily i not in the rush to move in so they have the time to rectify lor.

renopooh 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 Such a long wait & renopooh thought it would be kinda boring if no updates here so renopooh will post some back dated information.Being too over zealous about the new resting place in 100 Acre woods, renopooh actually contacted few ID/contractors as soon as the option to purchase had been signed. The following are some of the ID/contractors that renopooh had contacted:* plush living* homely image* promax* exqusite renovation works* home success* renozoneRenopooh actually contacted & fax/email the floorplan & requirements to these ID/contractors requesting for quotation. Some didn't revert at all while some were very patient & followed up closely. The quotation varied in prices, from 14K all the way up to 37K. Wow, what a big difference! Well, renopooh had shortlisted a few & will be following up with them now that the keys had been collected & place surveyed, renopooh had also changed some requirements so there'll definitely be revisions to be done to the quotes.

renopooh 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 (edited) Went down to renopooh's flat last weekend to meet up with a ID/contractor to discuss on what renopooh wants for the flat. Saw that HDB's contractor had brought some stuff in already; hope they're starting work soon. Renopooh also booked the following furniture over the weekend:1) 3-in-1 sofa bed 2) 5 pc bedroom set for guest room (comprises of 4ft wardrobe, 5ft bed, bedside table, TV console & dresser + stool) So glad that these got off renopooh's list of items.Renopooh was also kinda lucky last weekend & won a mini compo set in a lucky draw PMPO 600 watts, LCD display, AM/FM Stereo, Top loading VCD/CD/MP3 player, Karaoke Function, Stereo Cassette deck, Programmable memories. VCD functional remote control, Wooden Speakers. Although it's not those high-end, hi-tech type but it's just nice for the new house.

Renopooh's opposite, balcony door had been changed but windows still haven't change. There were few tiles broken during the change, not sure if these will be rectified as well or not. The state now is worse than before the change. Wow, so good for you can finish in 2 more weeks. Renopooh's rectification works still got 1 more month to go (hopefully) before own reno can start. when can move in.Hey renopooh, your sofabed, is it anywhere close to a queen sized mattress or just the standard sofa bed size when folded down?Hmmm... renopooh didn't exactly measure it but it's supposed to be 5 ft sofa. When extended can fit 2 average-sized adults nicely. Not sure whether it's queen sized or super single size leh. Edited March 24, 2008 by renopooh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunBun 5 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Similar sofa beds like yours can fit 2 persons but certainly not so roomy enough for turning & tossing if 2 persons are sharing though. It would be great if got a queen size type when folded down... mine is only the standard size for sofa beds for 2 persons to sleep on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
