i do two toilets (overlay tiles, change toilet bowl and basin, new ss pipping) and plaster a bedroom. i even went away for 13days...also cannot finish..come back to a super dusty and dirty house.

unless you can cordoned off the kitchen and living..from floor to ceiling with thick plastic sheet...maybe still possible to live inside..

Hi Cute elephant,

For your information, the hacking of the existing floor tiles & disposal of the debris & haulages will take at least 2-3 days based on zero hiccups.

Then the delivery of tiles must be right on the dot + zero problems when you open to check every piece of tiles.

Then workmanship must be properly done. Based on methods of laying the tiles either wet / dry method, plus minus, give & take at least 2-3weeks.

So once the flooring is done, the washer will come in & do chemical washing for you, and you need another 1-2 days for the place to dry.

Thru out the entire process, no one stays in the house. Trust me.

ya its a 5year resale flat, actually we not plan to change the flooring but the last owner put a parquet floor in a living room or laminate i dont know what is call.

we plan to take off the laminate floor because im afraid if 5 years already the parquet will hv some insect/cute cute animal.

and the owner said if we take off the laminate parguet floor then the tile will be diffrent colour from living room and dining area

sorry for my jungle poor english

revarnish the parquet can save you lots of money - provided they are parquet.

with additonal coating on it, dont think would have any insects.

the living room floor is like this pic, but my owner put it in whole living room. isit call a parquet or laminate?

is it possible for ants to bring their whole family there bo? or other cute-cute worm?

Do you mean the white colour flooring in the pic? Sorry it looks like tiles to me

Not sure abt parquet but laminate flooring is chemical treated wood, no ants or cute cute worm can live in the wood.

thats the point, if need to change the tile after5 years it means i will get all the house dusty and very terrible and need to move out to renting again one month.

if i change now no need afraid of the dusty thing, but half my budget will gone only for flooring

if you realli plan to STAY in this new house for a very very long time. then do the flooring, cabinets/toilets/wardrobe all these can do in future. but flooring cannot.
