bigbag 1 Report post Posted November 7, 2011 Tiling finally done after 1 week! Now covered with corrugated cardboard (protection).So glad we decided to do plastering,which is in the process! Things look more perfect where it should be, no unevenness of walls, Smooothnesss! Ahhh *phew*..Here's a brief picture where the plastering is 'air drying'..was quoted $2k+ (5-room) tentatively, reasonable? I found an independent site which quoted fr. $1850 onwards for 5-room, shall use it as reference! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigbag 1 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 Taking stock of what's happening...Main entrance before reno starts..After hacking of walls...Hollow blocks in progress...New wall constructed!seriously, hacking & reconstructing of walls take a long time..come to realize tilers' work are not easy, & it's wonderful seeing how things piece together, step by step. In other countries, people build their own houses from scratch, that they really call HOME. To me, witnessing the transformation process, putting in the finishing touches PLUS having the right people within, a.k.a FAMILY makes it a real HOME indeed! Some people find shifting a hassle, to me it's a phase of life whereby one LEARNS MORE.. Slightly into furniture now. Bought a book to browse:Going out now to take a stroll in the wonderful land of Scandinavian designs, the 'birthplace' of the creator of the wishbone/ Y chair.

bigbag 1 Report post Posted December 21, 2011 & I've a hot/cold kitchen mixer to sell. It's very sturdy but more appropriate for an island type kitchen counter (with no obstructions on top) as it's about 50cm in height. We bought the wrong one although I really like the design. We can't refund or even exchange it with our vendor, so disappointing! Letting go at S$190.Anyone keen, pls leave a msg or PM me. Brand new! not installed yet!

bigbag 1 Report post Posted December 26, 2011 Any1 has any idea for designing a Walk-in wardrobe in the middle of a long room?Currently looking for a nice round table ard 1.2 or 1.3m (6seater) that will blend in nicely with light brown wooden chairs...Preferably white marble or wooden. Have seen some nice wooden tables but they are mostly rectangular. Saw some ready round marble tables @Island Marble AMK, but white design is limited, and custom orders take some time. The design of the support base/leg seems limited too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
