pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 I like how the kitchen opens to the dining and everything is quite open with some subtle obstacles to divide space.. nice nice! mm well mid Feb start reno also good.. after CNY. then you don't have a long break inbetween also. cos if start mid Jan then you have to rest two weeks. Now everyone spring cleaning I think neighbours wun be happy if the whole place is dirty just before CNY also... BUT of cos if can get early that's the best la. haha I know how the wait is a torture.

bubbli 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2009 agent plays a v impt part in times like tis. cos i koe some agent dun wan 2 get involved in reno process lor. 4 my case, my agent helped us 2 set-up the date & time. then we meet the owners ourselves 2 let them sign on the forms lor... we also burst our reno budget. cos juz scrutinize the window & grilles tis evening, found tat we muz really change them. Ya lor...agent has to play the part...esp when we depend on it...But my Ixxxx Agent..don't understand or simply being very ignorant..Argh...Oh ya toking abt windows...dun know whether can salvage mine...still have yet to go down to the place n take a look...Is it ex to change the windows?

Now everyone spring cleaning I think neighbours wun be happy if the whole place is dirty just before CNY also... BUT of cos if can get early that's the best la. haha I know how the wait is a torture. Yup we wanted the place to be more spacious in look...3 room flat can be small...especially comparing my current place...kekek... Yup we plan to start reno in Feb actually...now we dun think it's possible since the 1st appt is pushed to 13/2/09...hai very upset with the outcome...so our onli hope is if onli the seller can agree to move out before 13/2/09 so our reno can start rite away...we need to move in fast..imagine 6 pple in the hse...and staying at relative's place...that's alot of pple for a flat...Well we r just waiting for a miracle...
