Jessie,

Thanks for nice pictures. Some of the pictures cant view for the EM which you are visiting this sat.

putting glass as handlers for the stairs but i dont think i want to do it coz my gals are still young and need to hold on for going up and down.

but it is very expensive over all. I dont wish to spend much on it.

I really like the main door, do you know how much is it?

hi chesfel,

ya, some of the pix can't be viewed.

i like the glass stairs,....but, same here, due to my 2 boys also very young, thus will remain to the current rod-irons handles for the stairs.

same here, my budget is only $20k,...dun wish to spend more.

not sure how much is the main door.

hi all,

may i know how roughly much u loan from your EM? How many years are adviceable to loan?

[Jessie 0]

hi chesfel,

i only took ard 15yrs repayment for my loan.

i loan for less then 150k.....hdb has wiped out my cpf of 210k.....now i am penniless...hahahaha !!

my agent was telling me take teh max 30yrs loan......but, after calculation, we decided on 15yrs cos dun wish to pay so much interest lah.

infact, if we allow the monlthly payment on 100% of our contribution, we just need to take 8yrs, but, after 2nd thoughts and decided not to stretch ourselves too much,.....we thus settled for 15yrs lah.

I wanted to do almost the same things as yours but received a quote of >30k from ID! Found it expensive for such few things!

I'm at Jurong west, LakeSide MRT! Behind LakeShore Condo!

hi hi chronograph,

wow,....>$30k,...that's expensive leh!

maybe you do more carpentary works?

for me,...only carpentary is kitchen & MBR walk-in wardrobe.

no false ceiling & downlight,....cos we intend to put nice nice lights / chandelier.......think this will save quite alot of $.

we shall stay tune here and discuss on our EM's reno.....
