Hi all,

Am still waiting for my keys, and looking around for ID. What's a good ID, any ideas?

wah, so havoc after 1 night....

i've heard of diamond water, but my mum is using another brand of water purifier...

but i intend to get diamond water purifier also...dunno is gimmick or what, but like the idea of having drinking water direct from the tap...save the gas or electricity to boil so much water also...

alister, maybe when i move in, i take the contact from you ok??? wahaha...

Wow, you have an excellent concept! There is an even better water purifier, so must choose carefully and not be mislead by big advertisements.

Dear Neighbours

We finally decided on Eesy from Substance and signed on the dotted line today. However, its all subject to approval from the bank loan. If loan's not approved, then nothing can be said and done.

Kind of stressed now..... Thinking of how to service the loan later. Think hubby's very stressed also. Don't wanna disturb him when he is stressed.... Its scary....

hi a_star! my ID tries to work within my budget and concept. think these 2 points are stepping stone to know what you want for your hse reno. after knowing what concept you like, he can more or less draft out and quote to suit your budget.

and its impt that he breakdowns the quotation or itemised everything for you. the quotation will be more organised and will be easy for you to compare with others, or take out items that you dun want. this will more or less minimise the hidden cost. also ask for which type of material, grade, price range the ID will be providing base on his quotation.

if can, try not to let the ID know your maximum budget, have some allowance, say ard 5k. ultimately, you must feel comfortable enough to trust him, maybe have to trust a bit of your instinct. hehe! at least that's what i feel abt my ID at the moment and he did what i mention above.

All the best for you in looking for an ID~!

hey hey~ how was ur discussion with eesy? smooth?

dun think too much abt the loan la...the most is suffer for 5yrs (max.) and sacrifice on luxuries. the hse is there for as long as u dun move out. hehe! or maybe u ask ur boss to help also la...hehe! save up on interest payment.

we finally settled on our wall paint colours and laminate for cabinets/wardrobe/bed/vanity/hs ft wall...

could at least see some light ahead now.

hi Liana79B, welcome to renotalk~ wow..u're an eager beaver! u must be feeling extremely excited!

i dun have the answers for all ur questions though..but have purchased Sealy mattress. If u're moving towards the 3 'S' brands of mattress, u'll probably not go wrong.

Qn 3...before u purchase ur mattress, make sure u test them...not by sitting at the edge but literally lie on it in the position u sleep when u're at home. that way, you'll know if it's really comfortable. next, u must know what kind of firmness u prefer as well...some prefer it hard as a rock, some prefers to sleep in a cloud. if u have back problem, go for a mattress that'll give good support..and if it's too firm, it's actually not very good for your back. try not to test more than 3 mattresses in a day as u'll get very confused. then it'll be the $$ factor. hahahaha!!

Qn 4...i believe many of us here are doing a feature wall to cover the household shelter.

p/s: i wouldn't display my unit and contact no. so openly if i were u. u could use "PM" aka Private Message by clicking on our nickname if u wanna share personal info/prices etc.

Hi Liana,

I bought a queen sized simmons mattress about a month ago. Did not compare to serta or sealy because me and my wife liked the mattress when we lied on it. Since there was a sale going on, we immediately placed our purchase order !!. We are doing a feature wall to cover the bomb shelter. renovation should be commencing soon... all the best with ur search.

Hi Tension_z,

I think it's around that price. I'm quote $1.7k for the 8 ft for the feature wall but it comes with shoe cabinet as well as storage at the top. So if your feature wall doesn't include the cabinet then I think it might be a bit expensive. The rest of the kakis here also getting this range. Important thing is that try to have stoarge included for this amount of money you spend.
