rierie 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2009 finally we are back in Singapore!! woo!! went for our pre-wedding photoshoot in Taiwan. woah..amazing place to go! back to topic - renovation! let's see...the last we left off is the quotation that we got from one of the IDs. well, we have already and signed and confirmed with that ID. Keeping our fingers cross that we will have minimal problems during this process. Latest update - We have to install window grilles!! *faint* really hate to have them in the house but it's for safety's sake and i couldn't imagine ourselves going through renovation for the grilles when we are about to have kids. might as well get it over and done with. 2 types of aluminium grilles are available for us - the silver one and the powder coated one. omg!! the powder coated one is so much more expensive!!!! yet silver ones are not as good looking..mm..haiz.. we are doing to the rituals this sunday and we can start our reno next week!! woo!!! but one worrying thing - we haven't see our house design in 3D. mmm..time to call the ID..
