Huat ah! Post Renovation Our first night was great. As we laid on our cosy bed, watching our mounted TV in front of us and look around the whole room, we flash back thinking of all the pains and sweats that we have been through to achieve this ultimate reward. this is super rewarding feeling man! now we can finally go back to our normal life after work. play with baby, eat dinner properly and go shopping for household items and small add on furnitures. hehehe.. MOST importantly, my baby boy can sleep peacefully in his room whole night. he loves the new envirnoment a lot as he can't stop smiling since yesterday. kkekeke.

I chose the other model (milky) for my common bathroom. the colour combi is great too. since kitchen and common bathroom is linked mah, we thought of choosing the same series of tiles but slight colour difference so that got synergy. hahahaa..

steelze 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) thank you all for the good wishes. even now when i am in office now, my mind is thinking about my new home and writing down my shopping list! haha.. hafiizh, i am glad that my reno journey has given you some needed boost in confidence in your upcoming /WIP reno. when i was doing my reno halfway last few weeks, the end of journey was always blur and dark. every time when I saw the ID's face, i feel like whacking him. but on the very last moment during handover, all hard feelings were gone. although there are still small minor things to touch up, generally the place is a good living condition as compared to my previous rented room. bare with me for this week as i need to decide which ISP or internet plan to go for. Also to unpack stuffs and move in new furniture. Tentatively, i am thinking of getting M1 Optic fiber plan of 10mbps @ $59/mth + $2/mth for the residential gateway rental. anyone using optic fiber plan current? good or not? or i should stick to conventional and stable network like ADSL or cable. still hard to believe that the previous owner's house is entirely gone! or may i should say 99% gone because i reused 2 of his door frames which i truly regretted. hahaha.. just $100 each i also wanna save, now one of the bedroom wall and floor laminate were slanted because of old hdb slanted wall. lesson learnt. =p Meatime, i'll try to create a before-after pics of my place asap. stay tune!

donal5 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2011 Hi Steelze, you mentioned about door frame. Are the previous door frames from hdb ones (steel ones). Any suggestions on whether to change or not? Mine are all steel ones. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
