New 4Rm Renovation

[igto 0]

Hi Sean,

Am at Isles too! and also a 4 roomer like yours.. my reno has started and just wanted to point out that the issue of the aircon access window (WHICH IS A MAJOR PAIN IN THE A**) and also the existence of 4 pipes (2 on each side) at the service yard. you might wanna measure the washing machine/dryers before buying them..

as for the Aircon. i got the Mitsu Heavy Industries (like your pics) from Gain City. paid for the upgrade in the pipes and extra warranty for 5 years and the total cost was about 4.5k.

installation wise it was quite normal and fuss free.

some changes to make is to have a full cabinet on the shorter side instead of just the top, removing the microwave oven since we rarely use it and also shifting the oven to below the cooking hob area.

Are you seriously considering to put a top with high chairs in the kitchen?

I feel they may prove redundant and get in the way of moving around unless you dont have a dining table.

As for the oven, being in the tall unit is easier for viewing, especially when roasting and baking.

Oh ok. But do reconsider about the oven.

Else when using may have keep squatting down to monitor.

Also if lifting out big pots may prove to be a little challenging as well.

And so I've decided on ID #4 for my house. We don't have any specific style for the house so we do as per our liking.

Hi there fellow neighbour

I am at 332b, collecting keys on Monday and looking forward to renovation, though not looking forward to the costs though.

Love your posts and everyone here seems to have lots of money saving advice. Counting on everyone to pass on advice from now on.

Will be starting my own post soon once keys are collected!

took us quite a bit of time to decide on the right one and we finally narrowed down to 2 choices..

OR

These are nice tiles but would there be too many grouts lines?

My concern is that using in wet area, the algae like stuff tends to grow into the grouts and hard to remove.
