Pls enlighten me who is very blur sotong...Thanks!!! 1. just ask all the contractors who are willing to do hacking only. hacking no need much... skill just need big hammer and hdb permit. but yes, he was recommended. i know they are professionals because they're recommended as such, they showed experience. 2. actually second contractor was myself on hindsight, i should have just asked ronald to hack it all. well, lesson learnt. for the rest of the works, i'm the contractor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And still have drawers/ cabinet doors to take up the space if need to open them. managed to squeeze a family of 6 into my kitchen during CNY but it's not cramped when 2 people are cooking/washing. usually don't need to open drawers/cabinets much while cooking.

I got client asking about it as their budgets only $500 for painter. 3i model + 1room @ Ghim Moh. Any lobang? bro, the cost of the sealer+paint will cost about $500 already maybe you better ask them to DIY it. but if you ask someone to do it, they will usually not spend $500 to buy good paint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. Eric Yeap, Ikea. The drawer and hinge is from Ikea too. I installed everything myself, but if you want them to install for you, they can install for you at 6% of the purchase price.
