Day 7 of reno: the storeroom is completed as well as the wall partition for the wet and dry kitchen....saw the workers smoothening the walls yesterday....now that the walls are up, can actually visualised better how we gonna put our stuff....aiya!!! hubby thinking of not using ceiling fan as he can't stand seeing the wire...most probably want to do away with dining lights....hmmm standing fan seems a bit untidy....have to decide between practicality and aesthetics... one good news though i'll be able to install the push out naco window for my toilets....YEAH!!! so much things to look forward to next week and so much things i've to buy...can't imagine that till now i've not bought a single thing for the house.... The new storeroom The walls between the wet and dry area for kitchen The wall tiles got a little worried when i didn't see the black ones for the MBR toilet....call up Yeak,confirm have....phew...

preciousjam 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2009 Hi preciousjam, how much is it to hack and relocate the new storeroom? tks my place doesn't come with store...used to be at kitchen the previous owners removed it....so have to erect one.......i was quoted $780 exclusive of door.... but if you need to hack away existing one i guess it will cost about 200 depending on the size...

Your reno progress is really fast! Need to specially request Gain City to arrange for May's appt.. It can be done.. It's a good idea to put ceiling fan, better put black kind.. so that if it's dirty, it's not too obvious.. hee.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
