merryman 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2009 Thanks a bunch for the quick reply Merryman! Alamak! sorry bro, didn't mean to insult your blog name!!! And thanks for another great tip about putting up some of the stuff I cannot bring along to the new place under the Garage Sub-Forum This is such a great forum! It rox with people like you! In fact, every 3 months, I gather stuff that I no longer use and pass them on to a Filipino family (they've got 5 kids!) who will come and collect the boxes and are willing to recycle the items. Of course, I only give them things that are usable, not junk! Like clothes that are still in good condition but my kids have outgrown them. This weekend, will drag my hubby go visit S&C! haha, not insult, it's ok lar... and there have been many people who have been sharing info wif me in my t-blog and my questions in theirs... most people are wonderful in sharing ideas/info gd that you are passing things on try to avoid 2+ I think, can't remember exact timing... if I'm not wrong, the lady boss of S&C will bring her son out for swimming class, so only left one in the store...

merryman 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2009 Thank YOU Merryman for responding. Many helpful pple in this forum, really makes me feel less loss Yes, $6K purely for carpentry or woodwork. I need top kitchen cabinets leh, bec I got alot of barang barang......I not young newly wed couple where my house can look like many of yours....macham showflat so nice. I got three teenaged children and I need lots of storage place to organise by stuff so my house dunt look like pigsty! I moved from landed to EA now to 5-room so you can imagine how much furniture and things I had to "buang" to downsize. But its a good exercise also, get rid of all the unused stuff Your tips sound good. Where is S&C? And yes, Ivy has been extremely helpful in trying to connect me with Uncle Soonperman and his henchman....so I am waiting with bated breath! I thnk if they call me, I better quickly go buy lottery!

candijew 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2009 Appreciate your reply Red Devil and the helpful advice. Yea, we cook EVERYDAY, lunch and dinner bec I am a sucker for homecooked meals and since I quit my full-time job several months back, I make sure there are decent meals for the family. Also, I LOVE to cook SO kitchen needs to be adequately equipped. Ha!ha! your stack-the-books-on-the-floor idea very radical. Think if no $$$$, I'll ask my kids to do that. I'm a neataholic so books strewn all over the floor freaks me out! BUT like you say, if no $$$, then have to make do lor......hmmm.....u just gave me an idea, maybe just ask carpenter or go IKEA build simple shelving, not cupboard and just stack everything up first, make use of air space ya? Fly aeroplane - 放飞机- Which mean didn't turn up for an appointment as agreed. Perhaps, for your kitchen cabinet...u might want to think first whether you are a heavy cooker? cooking often? If not, u don't really need so many cabinet aferall if is a small family? 2 or u or.....+ parents....with parents who cook then...perhaps, a full kitchen cabinet is necessary. Hm.....study table depend on your size you want....perhaps...100 - 200 dollars will settle... Shelves wise; I used to place all the books and magazine of mine on the floor neatly and stack them up. It still look tidy thou.....till have budget...then u buy shelves? Wardrobes.....S & C I guess might fit your budget. Most of us customised wardrobe is because we wanted a full ceiling wardrobe and customised the partitions in it... Hope it helps? Uncle Soon...called me after a long time ....hmmm....and after collecting sufficient air mielage, he call me 1 month after. But was too late for me as I already engage another. So I have no fate with him. heehee. You should still tried and call him and get his quote...no harm. He might be just the one u are looking for Liu Bei also have to visit Zhu Ge liang for 3 times? before he agreed to be his advisor...heehee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
