May_dream1 14 Report post Posted March 22, 2012 Julia, Mark's partner have given me the quote.First trip - 350Second trip onwards - 200Piano another 120So assuming 3 trips needed, it will be 350 + 200 + 200 + 120 = 870. Plus another separate trip to pick up the super single bed, say, 50 to 80 will be 920 to 950. Also same as my other quotes liao... Haiz... Looks like can't run away from these figures. I'm tempted to rent a kangoo to transport the carton boxes myself and let the mover move the big items in just 1 trip.why would you need 3 trips? how much things to do you have? i have 65 boxes, 1 king bed with mattress, 2 single beds with mattresses, sofa, 2 book shelves, 1 writing table and 4 dining chairs. and another separate trip to my relative house to pick up 2 king mattresses. all these in 2 trips. So, should be 350 + 200 + 120 + 80 = 750 only! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beluga 1 Report post Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) No.... I didn't choose white.... I chose 1107 for living, 1109 for dining and walkway, 3146 for mbr and study, 3131 for br3 and svc balcony and 3163 for br2. All Nippon medifresh for the rooms and easy wash for living/dining. Ceiling is default white.... Not sure if what I have chosen is right but I tried my best to match by using the online nippon colour matching tool. Upload the 3D image there and color the walls with different colours to mix and match. Edited March 23, 2012 by beluga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beluga 1 Report post Posted March 24, 2012 May_Dream1 seems to have alot of good lobang leh After reading your blog on movers, think I'll also use Mark.I found an even cheaper mover today. Someone sapu almost all our furniture for cheap price and their mover came to our place to move all the stuff. I observed how they and looks like their are very careful with their work. So at the same time, I asked how much to move our stuff. They quoted 700, which is 40 cheaper than maydream's mover. I will still most probably stick to maydream's mover as they this mover only have 2 movers. Lets see how.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The painter said will be done by tuesday.Here are the photos:Can't really see the actual colours from the pictures though. The actual colour is warmer. Ummm.... Not as nice as I expected.
