dtft 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2008 Hi gosaldar, you new house is very near to my current house. I think you bought your house at $488k based on the HDB resale transaction info. I was talking to Roy yesterday for my renovation quote, he mentioned he just came over from your house (we met at 815pm). Hope your renovation turns out well. I have not decided on my ID yet, yesterday i met 4 IDs. So far 3 turn well quite well, 1 so so only and anyway he had rejected my job thru email today citing he can't cope with my tight timeline.

kastlekonfusion 1 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 Tomorrow gonna buy lightning. Any tip? Not sure what's your style of shopping but here's what we did. We visited a good dozen or so lighting shops with our floor plan, a camera and a note book. I would take pixs of the light fittings that caught our eyes. Tom would be the one taking notes, ie model number, watts, price, type of bulbs, if it has a dimmer mode, etc. I'd arrange the pixs and info on a printout for our file so it'd be easier to decide which light fittings would be most appropriate. Here's a couple to give you an idea how it looks like:- Click here for larger pix on Picasa Web Album Click here for larger pix on Picasa Web Album Here's what we did for the electrician which also helped us to remember what we want the electrician to do:- From the floor plan, you can see that we have also specified where we want for the light switches. Anyway, you should get an idea from your contractor when he would need the light fittings to be delivered so you would know if you really have the time to shop around. Happy Shopping! P.S. If you go to Chan Huat, say Hi to Simon for us! Very patient and hardworking fella....might be the boss I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Often come out in Newspaper Ad See here Hi Gosaldar, Reading the postings, it seems tt they r good in offering competitive prices but delivery wise not so prompt. How abt u? U bought from there before? I went to Furniture Mall, Sungei Kadut & TradeHub21 & IMM... I'm actually looking for a 9f long L-shape sofa type (canvas type). And wat they r offering is more than 2K. I need to meet my budget of 1.2K ... so we r still sourcing.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gosaldar 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2008 Hi! I'm not buying sofa at TV at this moment. Have dry up my budget buying the rest. My philosophy is that better not to have it rather than compromise on the quality. Most of the stuff I get, I believe they are of pretty good/decent quality, although not very high end. And I don't believe in taking reno-credit. So, this reno use 100% cash. So, wait for end-of-the-year bonus before do 2nd round of reno next year (tv-console, sofa, 2 wardrobes, windows, and another full-height kitchen cabinet). The 3rd round of "reno" (2010) will be the beautifying stage, things like nice wall-clock, painting, display cabinet, pottery, carpet, etc. Back to ur question. No I haven't been there yet. I've gone to Park Mall, IMM, Ikea, Tradehub & Furniture Mall. Yet to go to Sungei Kadut. Really no time.... Sungei Kadut is very troublesome since I don't drive.
