The Transformation

[jumbopanther 2]

Feel so happy today, finally, my inter-terrace house, which I had just bought recently, started the first day of renovation !

Can't wait for it to complete.

Mine was a really fast move, beyond my expectation too.

Saw the advertisement on 1 Feb, view the house on 2 Feb, buy the house on 3 Feb, collect key in April, start renovation end May!

Hey jumbopanther!

Congrats on your purchase! Hope to see pictures of your place soon! Have a smooth renovation! I am having a live-in renovation at my corner terrace currently.

Hi, Thanks for the advice, yes, i have checked a few times already, so far so good.

Today, first time I climbed up and looked above the false, wow! so big area above!

Think i will transform it to high ceiling, sloping roof exposing the roof truss.

Yes it is very messy and disruptive but I have nowhere to move to. Therefore, I decide to stay put and bear with the renovation.

My contractor was telling me today that the completion should be in mid-July. Still quite a long way to go for me.

Wow! You have major reno works? takes about 5-6mths to complete the renovation?

I only gave my contractor abt 6-7weeks...

He did warned me that he wont be able to finish all at a go and likely have to be like 80% complete... then the rest of the 20% do when I already moved in kind....
