piknik 1 Report post Posted November 23, 2011 Hallo, hope you have a smooth reno, super woman. I admire you! I don't know next year I could do the same thing like you are doing now or not.. I am currently taking care of my baby daughter (6.5 months old) full time. Hubby is very busy @ work so probably I will supervise our new flat Reno next year.How do you do it? Taking care of a toddler and the Reno at the same time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

babytan 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2011 @ Nellynutt & piknikhahahah i am no superwoman la, actually overseeing the reno is not that difficult...if i am not please with anything, just need to talk to ID and he will do something, i am using my mouth and eyes onlyso far the only difficulty i encounter is tat due to unforseen circumstances, have to make decision on the spotas my hubby not supposed to be involve in the reno and was busy at work, so very difficult to call him and describe the scenario at that point of time... so i have to be decisiveother than that, taking pics, checking out the progress ok la as my baby goes to childcare from 9am-4pmguess wat is actually siong now?? hahahahahhaPACKING!!! am fighting for time as i do all the packing alone, once baby back, i will be tied down by himi also work from home, timing can be very flexible but ultimately i still need to spare some time to work...TIRED lo@ Terencetcweh i got my lightings and sanitary all from Budget Lights & Bath at Midview Citywe really dun have much time to go around as compared to my first renoimagine bringing a baby along to choose all these is really tedious!either we are mentally or physically tired hahahahhai only spend $4080 on all items, maybe you can take a look at what i bought later, lights shd be up this weekWC, heater, basin etc done already lo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terencetcw 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2011 @babytan,wow $4080 for all items cheap tho'...maybe im abit greedy hehe overshoot budget.Well, really looking forward to see how your lights coming up, because i went to light shop it make me confuse~ too many to choose and some nicer design maybe just need to top up a bit thus make you indecisive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
