ok i got it wrong i tot u r referring to the living room where we drink coffee when u reffering to the place i put my machine.

yeap, i am quite pleased with the coffee corner. it's the 1st place i go to in the morning after washing up.

but there are ppl who tell me i should have ask for transparent glass panels instead of wooden panels as the light does not pass thru to the lower shelves with the wood panels. well perhaps, but it looks ok to me.

yah coffee table is a little low but depends on what it's used for

sorry misunderstanding i mean the shelvings panels.

aiyo me blur sotong leh, keep misunderstanding what you said

but hor, honestly i find wood shelves better

no need to worry about stains, water marks etc

if light shine through glass shelves means you got to keep the glass really clean

if not then the light will have patches which is very ugly lor

thanks for the input, noted.

i asked the carpenter, he measure thenhe said 1 px of glass cost 25. so if i put 2 px is $50.

worth it???

[applefreak 1]

hmm dun really like glass shelves

1. breaking point uncertain

2. too vulnerable especially if integrity compromised

3. broken shelves will cut someone

4. maintenance is really tedious

find that the wooden shelves somehow looks nicer

feel that glass shelves will look a little funny

many congraduations to your new home.

My question is that is it more cheaper to divide reno work to different contractors? I learned from friends that contractors may get cheaper prices for materials such as tiles. Hence it would probably save more if one assigns all the work to one main contractor and let him sub-contract to the rest?

Hi everyone,

Though I am not totally new to this forum but am newbie to renovation and to posting a t-blog! So really got lots to learn from all the shifus here.

We have gotten our flat for 2-3 months liao.Phew! Finally by God’s grace me we will be starting our renovation work this week!

Will like to take this chance to everyone who contribute to this forum and make it such a informative source for us, allowing us to compare quotations and gives us different perspective on our renovation ideas.Kudos to all

As we feel, we do not need any ID and partly because we have the time to do planning, we kinda ‘unbundled’ the whole reno package and source for individual main con, carpenter, painter and even the tiles supplier ourselves. Through this process, we not only cut down our cost $ we also learn a lot about renovation. Well, it’s interesting really and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

We did research for almost 2-3 months b4 we decide on contractor, the carpenter and bought into tiles. We have place orders for air-con and some big item furniture like Sofa, dining table and bed.

Hope to show all my pic of our renovation progress. But now can only upload the pre-reno pics.
