ilmare612 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 Hey hi xherion, yes. I am looking forward to see Piggybank's house too. Her purchase is also timely as I have just renovated my place, so can share some notes. Please see my comments below. Not sure if it helps... Hi Ilmare, You're right hehe, below is the rough breakdown: - Chengai decking for 3 planters area - total $2200 ~ Can't comment as I did not do this. - Laminate top for 3 bay windows area - total $2000 ~ Can't comment as I did not do this. - Wall feature (full length, 9ft wide) with display cabinet for living room - $2520 ~sounds reasonable for 9ft. - Wall feature (full length) with console for MBR TV - $1030 ~ Dimension? But the amount is not too off too. My 4ft laminated MBR TV feature without console is already S$800. - Extend MBR wardrobe by 2 ft (full length) with mirror on cabinet door - $650 - Construct custom single bed with storage - $680 - Tinted mirror backing in between kitchen top and bottom cabinets (2 walls) - $980 - Construct shoe rack shelves in existing power cabinet - FOC - Construct laminate ledge in passageway to put display/photo frames - $140 - Contruct curtain pelmet for 6 curtain areas - $750 - Electrical works: all light installations 24 points, 4 additional light points - $450 - Whole house painting - $1500 - Supply paper roll to protect whole house floor - $300 ~ This is indeed over-priced. - General cleaning for whole house - $300 ~ Also abit overpriced lor. Btw i hear your friend piggybank will meet the lawyer today, hope she can get the layout soon. We'll be neighbors i guess hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
