Hahaha.. yalor, one more item to maintain and clean.

And we're keeping the balcony tiles. We like it alot too.

Intend to keep some plants, and probably throw-in some simple furniture to match the rustic feel.

Hacking (week 1)

Took 2 days for the demolition works.

Was pleasantly surprised the original kitchen wall tiles are still in very good condition, and thus we stick to the plan of keeping them.

## removed the old laminated flooring

## keeping the raised platform in living hall. In 'de-skinned' condition.

## removed the damaged mirror at dining area

## hacked the kitchen cabinets, concrete sink support, partition and laminated flooring

## hacked away the wardrobes in the 2 rooms.

We did consider keeping them and change its laminate.. but the costs is not much lower compared to re-doing new ones!

## hacked the built-in study desk cum cabinet, as it was in a pretty bad condition

We asked the contractor not to throw away the old sink, and hacked partition metal frames.. which we later sold to karang guni for over $20.

Managed to sell 2 old lamps left behind by ex-owner via RT too.

Intend to re-lay laminated flooring over the parquet flooring in all 3 rooms. Some relatives & friends felt it was a great waste.. Actually it was abit painful for me to make that decision too, as parquet is 'good stuff'.. But the design is too old-school, and no guarantee re-polishing can make it to the faint color we want..

Ex-Owners Fengshui colors

you may have noticed the ex-owners had the walls of the 3 rooms painted in different vibrant colors. I later found out the color scheme is actually adhering to Fengshui (based on 8 sectors theory). The same goes to the erections of partions in living hall and kitchen.

Quite surprised to learn of that fact as the ex-owner is a devoted Christian.
