Terrain1976 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 I have a friend with similar floor plan layout as yours. They hacked the storeroom away, so it becomes open concept kitchen cum living room. Maybe you can think of leveling the height of the kitchen to the living room.Haha.. That is what i will be doing for that area and i will be placing a full height / length mirror in dining hall(formerly the place as store room). I will be levelling up that place and with laminate flooring too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terrain1976 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 Just remember to ask more questions in the works and quotations so there will not be any hidden cost.Thanks for your advice and i will remembered these and i know where you are coming from. I am those who will ask alot especially on items to be carried out and their pricing too. That is why some contractors are very scare of me as i compared too much.. Oops..

Terrain1976 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) renotm told me the quote from Home Sweet Home is 30% cheaper.... i guess that is what you are comparing too. during the time i was doign reno, i had Andrew 30% cheaper too (but still more ex than some by 10% or so) so i guess since your budget constrain, then choose the cheapest then. After everything else, it will be quite a lot... for me, other stuff costs me nearly 60% of my reno but i don't have laminate flooring.... so whatever you buy might be same as reno.U r right on the contractor who had quoted me 30% lesser and not just only from the one who renotm have recommended, there is actually another who have the "abt there" quotation who i found in renotalk too.. I cant say all the items which i wana do will definitely be 100% perfect as i understand perfectly that individual company will have their strong and weakness in a whole reno process. For eg, Contractor A maybe better in their wet work and weaker in carpenty and as for Contractor B, their carpenty work is the best yet very poor in wiring and etc.. In conclusion, there is no perfection in reno world lah.. haha Edited March 9, 2012 by Terrain1976 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha....299 consider expensive as these are their latest range of high gross laminate expedite items. If you are looking at those which are of those normal surface you can get the same item as mine at less than 200! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
renotm 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 Welcome to t-blog!! Haha.. you finally did start a blog here. Oh, you were looking at Yishun area? Mine is at Khatib area. Hm... How should i start off with my T Blog? OK.. some uncle story to share and i believes some bloggers here should have already knew the history as i did mentioned in their blogs actually.. Pardon me(uncle) for being so lousuo. My story goes like this...One month before 35yo, i contacted agents from Yishun area and starts viewing houses over there but i targetted those which are near to Yishun MRT and the story goes on till one fine day (one week before 35yo), i realised taht Pasir Ris do have 4s model afterall and happened to saw one 4s unit put up on sales!! I quickly contacted the agent for house viewing and was very happy with this house after viewing.. The house is in its very original condition but inside there, stays a very friendly and happy family. I told myself that this will be the house which i will most probably be getting. I showed interests for this unit and told the agent that i cant signed untill one weeks time. Also, i learnt that there is only 1.5 blocks of 4s model HDB in the entire Pasir Ris area. (Hopefully this info is correct loh). I nego on the COV abit and managed to do so as a return, i must allows the owner to continue staying there for another two months for free.. YES.. for free!!Andrew also quoted you about 30% higher? So you finally got a quote from Lina? How do you find your interaction with her? She sms'ed me when I was overseas to inform me that she will be out of country for a few days (in case I look for her). Just got back late last night so most likely will take a few days break before I start my "reno-research" again. Maybe can you also PM me your "abt there" contractor too? Thinking of looking at another quotation before finalizing the contractor. Thanks! U r right on the contractor who had quoted me 30% lesser and not just only from the one who renotm have recommended, there is actually another who have the "abt there" quotation who i found in renotalk too.. I cant say all the items which i wana do will definitely be 100% perfect as i understand perfectly that individual company will have their strong and weakness in a whole reno process.
