Galsmommy 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 50k reno, got 3d pics to share? I have uploaded the 3D perspective view in my blog hehehe. But frankly 3D doesnt matter much to me. Yesterday we meet up with Roy and we talk over the ideas and he share his ideas to me and draw on the spot and explain to me which is MORE clearer THUMBS UP for him. I find him very committed and really put his heart to make our home now. Cant wait for the outcome Going up to new house later and take some pic of the DONE bathrooms & my balcony flooring. This sun is meeting Roy @ new house to discuss painting, lightings, some other areas to confirm & YES going to see more things up... 1 more month.. counting down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When we first go n see the flat, our gals are behaving normal. My #1 is running around and #2 keep smiling giggling no crying! Sometime you know la they have certain instinct la. And this is a corner unit, previous owner indian but very clean! The valuation is quite ok for a unit like this. So we think over, view another 1 more time with our other family members and OFF we paid the deposit. Yours is done up soon liao oh... I am also looking forward yours.
