west 1 Report post Posted July 12, 2011 but flooring wise quite easy to remove for tilesi would be concern if the specks are on elsewhere besides the tilesthats why we are kinda relieved when ID told us that painting will go up first, following by carpentry and flooring(i think).of cos there will be one round of touching up painting for flaws/imperfection at the end but i think the careless specks/dripping will be minimal lah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
west 1 Report post Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) I love storeroom! hahahaha I actually had one built in my new place (at the time of my purchase, zero storeroom! )we were fortunate that the prev owner left a metal cabinet for us in the storeroom! yes, those full height use in office one!as well as those 4 tier rack, saved us $ from customising one!actually the metal cabinet was a life saver, before the hacking and drilling, we actually shifted quite a no. of things (from our old storerm) into that storeroom, most of it we kept and locked in the cabinet... during the reno, the workers were quite careless, sometimes the left the storeroom door open cos they had to access the power source inside for their drills and cutters, end up storeroom also kenna dust, lucky the stuff inside the cabinet were unaffected. we spent last sunday cleaning up the storeroom and putting newspaper and trashbag to prevent the rest of the exposed items from dust.

MBR toilet bowl also fixed up.. but sink and taps have to wait till the carpentry on the vanity top are done.. should later todayelectrician was here also to do his job, but given so many areas and switches to work on, I think it will take another day at least, now we have only 2 days left to handover... its like a race against time!! the house is starting to look cramped again with some of the carpentry delivered to my place for installationMBRCommonwe kept this built in wardrobe from the prev owner, lets see how they are gonna revamp it...angle from the inner corner of the MBR Edited July 13, 2011 by west Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
