Not much update other than the electrical rewiring and craftstone brickwall are in progress too. Some of the TB craftstone bricks that arrived in the box were much darker than some of the others. Was supposed to be all white though. Anyhow, told the tiler to mix and match them when laying them and the outcome has a natural cave-like look. Turned out to be okay in the end. Phew.....

I figure pictures can explain about the reno better than words. My kitchen has just started the reno works and kitchen cabinet has not even been measured so I am unable to comment on this ID nor their workmanship yet. If you are interested to shortlist him, I'll be happy to forward his contact for your consideration. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your reno is much cheaper than my 3 room Thanks for the advise, will check them when they arrive. Didn't want to buy expensive lights for the same reason. Yes, buying from tabao saves me half the cost of getting them in Singapore, and that saving is including shipping costs! I saw your blog, good luck with your reno. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Hi @Pooroldman Sorry for the late reply. No it did not come with a pre-drilled tap hole. My contractor helped me drill a hole. I probably should have asked seller to do it as I am sure he can if I had informed him. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoWL 9 Report post Posted September 25, 2017 Slight delay with the carpentry as my ID discovered that the carpentry was one inch short from his drawings, so they had to redo. Aircon is up tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
