sunset way 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2012 Hello everyone!For those who have read my previous thread "An EM situated amongst greenery", that place is actually my parents'.I have moved to Hillview Avenue (a complete new environment to me) and did no renovation when I moved in. The house was in a liveable condition.However, the plan to renovate parts of the house materialise when the current kitchen is starting to disappoint in terms of functionality and storage.Therefore, I decided to have a live-in renovation and bear with the noise and dust for the next 5 weeks. (estimated by my contractor).First of all,The floor plan.My place is the corner unit and this is the floor plan of the first level.The plan is to renovate the bathroom, kitchen and the backyard area. No change to the rest of the house on the first level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunset way 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2012 The plan is to renovate the bathroom as the wall and floor tiles are very very dated. The massive work will be in the kitchen and backyard. The current kitchen will be the dry kitchen and I will be installing air-con in it. That will be ideal for baking! Part of the backyard will be enclosed to be the wet kitchen where the heavy cooking takes place! The space after the new wet kitchen shall be the laundry area and perhaps storage.The new floor plan; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunset way 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2012 Day 1 of Renovation: 21st May 2012The guy who came to saw off the iron fence was very experienced! He cut through the low wall and it will be hacked by the guys later.The concrete beneath the floor tiles in the kitchen is so tough that it took a while for the guy to hack.The guy cut off the portion of tiles to be hacked as I will be keeping the existing floor tiles for the new laundry area right beside the back boundary wall. Bamboo blinds at the laundry area were taken down as they cant be used after the renovation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
