Songz 132 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 During our parents' era, as they dun have much $, they also did the basic necessity and can still live in with no problem.I guess i inherit their kind of "simple" living since young. Ahahaha... So, just the basic minimal style will do! With aircon and painting the walls n the kitchen reno, i hope to keep the reno fees below 10k. Hmm... possible?I think below 10k will be hard and tight... Anyway share with us as you plan and go along, maybe some advice from the gurus' ideas may able to help you save up more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm... possible?Hope budget of $10k is excluding aircon and painting? Else not likely as i think aircon around $3k, painting around $1.2K. From my own place, I see Hacking and tiling are costly, so maybe can save if you not planning on any tiling works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahhboi 15 Report post Posted March 29, 2014 Ya, agree tiling are expensive. I only manage to do up one toilet only due to my budget. And it eats up almost 1/2 my budget already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm... possible?I think it is quite impossible for the Budget below 10k. Aircon and painting itself cost around 4k plus already. You have not calculate those electrical point and rewiring yet. These add up together will simply cost a 6k to 7k.Hacking work and minor Capentry, lastly whole house windows & grilles 2-3 k already. I think 15k will be just nice +/-My 2 cents worth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
