Dextro82 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2010 Toliet wall tiles....that only old thing in the toilets. More of the stairs...love the railings =D Balcony We didn't like the concept of having to remove and clean the flooring below the wood in the kitchen/toilets/balcony (which was recently renovated and added in by the previous owners), plus the house requires plastering due rough wall surfaces. 2nd level flooring and toliet tiles are all from HDB, 20 over years ago. Therefore...its more or less total destruction of the house for renovation. The balcony had to go...zzz looks like a garden. Intending to get a roller shutter to make the balcony indoor. Special thanks to Familyof4 and Felixp, cant thank Felixp enough for all the help on the roller shutter enquiry. =D Rough plan of the house Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dextro82 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2010 Thanks all for the support. EM is going to be a 2 storey Settler's Cafe, located in Tampines, very close to Kopi's Coffeeshop =D First saw the house in May, and 2nd appointment was in July. Thereafter, we rented out the house to the previous owner for 4 months and just got the house back early December, thus the renovation just started. Everyone here is so nice and helpful. Thanks everyone, will be posting more pictures later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
