人老心不老 - Neo's Renovation Journey

[missyliang 0]

It's finally my turn to share my happiness here after a year's worth of lurking around in Renotalk.

After working for 40 few years, LB (老伴, Husband) decided that it's probably time for us to move and have a dream home to retire in.

Now tell me how to contain my excitement!

So far we're having all the luck, our journey to find a new home & ID came really fast&easy. Chop chop!

The COV for this resale EM was within our budget, the view from the balcony seems to be not bad (Fresh air - 10th level) and we see the possibilities in transforming it to our desired living space!

LB & I are high in spirits but apparently our bodies aren't really cooperative enough for us to visit every ID firms in Singapore. Believe us, if we could, we would! (Kiasu, Kiasi) So LB&I agreed on an ID referred by my friend lor, sweet and easy.

Ps:// I've spent the couple of days forcing my grandson to teach me on how to post here. Muahaha, I must be the most irritating grandma ever.

Good morning sherting! Hohoho, you youngsters are making me very happy! My COV cost 580k, if it's not worth it, don't tell me ok! Hehe. I thought climbing the stairs is good for health?

Wow I love your layout.. Kitchen + Study can combine to be huge kitchen cum island cum dining area.. Great!

And U are super hip for a granny!

Good morning HL85! Granny sounds so old, I don't think i'm THAT old leh. My LB is a traditional man, won't agree to combine the rooms

Good morning to everyone!

人老了都自动会早睡早起呢, Missyliang大姐 & LB can't even sleep past 7am daily.

Today morning we went to take a morning stroll together, feels good!

Anyway here's more information on our renovation journey!

LB & I have been meeting our ID (Has a habit to call him 小弟) daily from 20th May till we signed with him on the 27th.

Sorry but we won't be sharing the renovation amount, if not later you all think we old people are very rich then rob us how? Hahahaha

But what we'll be doing will be a full renovation, and the only thing that we'll be keeping is the staircase rails. Hehe

I'll be posting up the photos soon, I sumpa!

Went down to our new EM yesterday, hacking work began on 4th June

Should be completed soon, I think only left with a wall to be demolished!

hacked living + dining + study. (Ps: Can see ID & his assistant's sexy legs hahahah)

Hacked living room, with alot of....... sand which I have absolutely no idea what this is for.

My Service yard!

Super small common toilet

The size of resale flats are already so small, I can't imagine buying new flats!

Back in my time, the flats are so much more spacious leh, what happened?

I'll be back with more updates, need to go for my early mahjong session with other ahmas 了!
