Day 2

Though we expect nothing much for the hacking days.... My wife and I still pay a visit to the WAR ZONE at night:P

Also finalised the overall electrical work cost and confirmed additional items we decided after site inspection with ID...

Summary of additional items:

1. Replace windows for whole house

2. Replace grilles for whole house

3. Replace 4 x solid veneer doors

4. Replace the classic iron gate with mild steel main gate

Just hope we do not need to add any more items... kinda tight on budget liao

Day 5

Living area

Somehow the worker forgot to hack the floor tiles at balcony area.... my ID replied it will be done by Monday.

All tiles and floor protection cover is in the living room now.

Dining area

The old entrance for common toilet has been sealed up, and parts of the original kitchen wall has been hacked to give more space for dinning area.

Day 5

Kitchen

Just realised there is a pipe infront of the beam, which was covered by the original kitchen cabinet. After serveral discussions with my ID, it seems we have to break the table top into two portions, because of the boxup for this stupid pipe. Most likely we will have sink and hob at the left side of the pipe. Build a full height cabinet to conseal the pipe and include a build-in oven, then table top continues from the right handside of the cabinet. Cost up again as we did not plan to buy build-in oven in the first place

hey hey... now that's why you need the build in oven huh

yea, can imagine the frustration jus to break the work-top and box up those pipes.

the kitchen is fine.. but I will be plain stubborn and jus keep to a linear kitchen set-up by having the fridge beside the tall unit and that's it. i.e sacrifice some cabinets. seems neater this way i feel.

suppose there's another area for the laundry then?

In fact the first idea is to have fridge besise the tall unit.. however, we worry the space is quite limited if we want to have a neat feeling. Cabinets has to be close to fridge... which may limits our choice if we are going to buy new fridge in future.. so in the end, we settled for build-in oven.

As for our laundry, washer and dryer will stack next to the window in our kitchen.

Bought build-in oven and hood today. However, still waiting for the salesman to confirm hob price tomorrow.

Received an sms from wife when i'm on my way home... New windows (including ventilation fan in MBR toilet) for whole house is up..

But it's too late to drop by the new flat today. Hopefully I can take some photos to record the reno progress!
