Yenming 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2008 hi gosaldar, wow... can c tt u really put in effort to do ur renovation phase by phase.. I also din took up any renovation loan. The tot of the high interest rate put-me off. We also prefer to pay by cash. But its really stress, afraid of making wrong decision & our effort goes into the drain. We also din like to compromise on the quality. so we make sure tt our place will be defects free before we shift in. My renovation is still on going. but so far, we managed to solve all problems and ID is also prompt in getting tiler to replace any defects. But now I'm facing problems for my kitchen cabinets.. Moreover its a no-choice thing tt we have to compromise due to insufficient space... Headache.. So now instead of sourcing for sofa, I'm actually searching for pics of kitchen from other forumers... Heehee. Btw, I read up from this forum. S&C Furniture is also quite popular... U can also drop by at their showroom to take a look at their sofa. I think its at AMK.

I think its at AMK. Indeed S&C is very popular here and I have bought my dining set from them. But then, would advise not to expect much in their showroom which I think is quite small. Better to shop around first, looking at design of furniture at various places before paying S&C a visit. Cause most of their products are inside catelogues. And be prepared to wait for a month or so for the goods to be made to order and delivered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gosaldar 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the tips. I've bought my dining table and sofa from "The Home Merchant". They are closing down their showroom at IFC (going to concentrate on trading), hence have a great sale. I got a very solid extendable teak wood dining table for only $300 . I also got a 3 seater (so-so in the design) sofa for $200. The sofa I think just for temporary. Want to save money to buy a good leather sofa in the future. Haven't bought any coffee-table nor tv-console. Also got damage from buying a bunk-bed (metal, below Queen size, top Single size) from HDB neighbourhood furniture shop. Total damage (with mattress) is $720. Arghh... Still lots of thing to buy. Door knobs (and lock-set), curtain railing, etc.... Wallet very dry already....

gosaldar 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Yesterday get a contractor (recommended by KDK) to install 2 ventilation fans (15WHPA). Quote me $320 each. Quite expensive (see thread by mace). But since I don't have time for DIY, and it seems the price is about there when getting contractor (after reading several threads), so I don't bother to find more quotation. Will negotiate more bigger item, and close one eye for cheaper items. Today having lunch at Anchor Point. So drop by Ikea to buy NORBO drop-leaf table ($59) to use in the kitchen. The idea is fantastic Edited August 6, 2008 by gosaldar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gosaldar 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2008 Just check my house over the lunch time. Morning they have clear up the debries and this afternoon will be chemical cleaning. I take same picture before left with my mobile phone. Some pictures are stitched with software (hence the distortion). Generally satisfied. Except that the carpentry work seems to take ages.

gosaldar 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2008 Directly from Assa Abloy (Ubi Ave). Bloody far away. Before u get there, (if u replacing ur current deadbolt) make sure u note the current deadbolt model number, or measure the dimensions (such as centre to the edge of door, etc). there are too many types of locks.

gosaldar 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2008 Hmm, when last week Roy get his guy to install the kitchen cabinet, that means it is just kitchen cabinet. So, no work-top yet Gotta wait till this Saturday before having the Solid-Surface installed. Also got to change my sink tap, since we just realize the model we purchase is too tall (my clearance from the sink to the top dish-drainer is only 50cm. Still too tired to get more photo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
