1st day of renov:

Heard drilling noise when i was on the 1st floor but when i looked up at my house, the windows were all closed!! I was wondering if the drilling noise was coming from the nearby construction of the staircase for the old airport road hawker. Was abit angry IF the hacking is not done today as promised and i wasnt informed.. BUT BUT.. enjoy the photos.. keke..

1 STAR to Mr Yeak : For protecting my precious marble flooring.

1 STAR to the hacker : For closing the windows and door so that to minimise the noise and dust caused. Saw him sweating like mad.. Treated him to a cup of kopi.. he was very happy..

Flooring was protected:

Hacking of Kitchen:

I was told that the house cabinets will be removed at abt 5pm plus.. didnt stay till so late.. so tmr should be gone..

Tmr will hack 2 toilets... to be updated.. so exciting!! LOL..

Hopefully everything turns out smoothly..

wow looks like the first steps have been taken!! :D

so your tile selection is confirmed? which tile shop did you go to?

Ya, it's chosen.. the colours are in the 1st page... i went to both hafary and LSH (the one beside Harfary).. cos some of the tiles hafary dont have.. vice versa.. so its good to go to more tiles shops and look around..

Tmr will continue to hack master toilet and remove all the cabinets..

So far so good.. i guess the critical part is the tiling and carpentry in the later stages.. Let's see how it goes..

Bro Chinchye,

Your toilet doorway issue settle liao or not?

I suggest you dun change the whole door frame, just rectify it...not worth to spend such money...I check with my contractor he told me around 2K plus just to engage the PE...

ya, agree with you. For my house, he said it need 5 days to hack and clear. Who know, it only took 3 days to hack and clear. Somemore, we have so many walls to hack.
