mummymantras 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) Welcome to RT!Your new place still looks pretty good... much better than most of the pre-reno pics we usually get to see! The wood-framed folding doors that open to the balcony and the wooden treads and banisters on your stairway also look fairly decent. Best of luck on your reno!

Best of luck on your reno! thx mummymantras, the previous owner has been living here for something like 14 yrs. i gotta say they did a great job in maintaining the conditions. i especially love the chengai wooden folding doors and banister at stairway. one of the many factors that i took into account when i decided to cut the cheq for OTP.

Fortunately the marble flooring is still in ok condition, I wont have enough budget to redo it anyway. Thanks for everything and hope to see you back here again.

potatoes 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2011 hello potatoes, thank you for the welcome. it's at Jelapang Road, near Bt Panjang. the conditions are indeed quite ok. after spending too much on the hefty COV, i really gotta cut down on reno. marble floor livin and dining area stays, as well as the parquet floor at stairway and second floor. extreme makeover for kitchen and all three toilets. that's abt all.I have to agree with you on what you said about COV. Like you, I am also paying a lot for COV and left with little to do renovation. When I first joined this forum, I was shocked to learn that EMs reno range from 70K to over 100K. Unlike yours, my EM was in very original condition (26year-old) and my budget only allowed me to settle for half that amount.I am glad you have found an ID who can meet your budget. All the best in your reno journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bro a good polishing for your marble floor will do wonders , really no point hacking marble flooring IMHO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with Sis Adi bro, the stairs is another item that can keep along with the marble floor... Remember to post more pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
