E&e Small Apt In The East

[ene1010.tan 0]

We finally got the keys to our new place though we purchased it a year ago.

Had to bear with it due to the 1yr rental lease attached to it..

After all the hurdles and problems we had with the tenants, we can now start on our renovation plan.

As this apt had been used for rented purpose(by prev. owner), the condition of the hse is pretty bad.

Need to do quite a bit of reno with tight budget.

To start with ,here is the floor plan

I wld like to share the tiles that we had selected from Hafary, as we engaged a contractor to do the works for us.

We had to do our own colour matching. which is kind of stressful

MBR Bathroom-

(dark colour will used on 2 side of the toilet where rainshower wil be)Din want toilet to be too dark.

Hopefully it wld look too weird

Common Bathroom-

Kitchen- (CHoose whiter as we have an open concept kitchen, need to match wit living room marble)

Yard-

hi, did u redo the piping for ur living and dining aircon?

[ene1010.tan 0]

Hi Veer

Yes, I re-do the aircon piping for the living/dining and rooms since its a 10yr old place.

I have friends staying at the same projects who asked me to change the doors as the doors had problems closing at times.

Some updates over the weekend:

1. The hacking debris had been half cleared except for the torn-down wardrobes.

2. Concealed piping had been installed for the MBR, ceiling rainshower and concealed taps

3. Sand haulage over at the living room to prepare for tiling today.

Was kind of upset when I went over to check the place on Sat. The workers forgot to close the windows on Friday and guess wat?

It rained and now my parquet flooring was wet. Had to cleaned up myself before more water seep in..

Today the Electrician will be coming over to lay some of the wiring for the L box and false ceiling.

I cant wait for my ID-in charge to be back from his holiday tomorrow. So much stuff to clarify with him.
