is a contractor.. but they do provide perspective drawings for my kitchen.. the quote i got was considered the lowest of all that i went to.. maybe because it was recommended by my fren..

well, i do agree with him to a certain extent.. as compared to the house that i bought, he has really made a great difference.. i'm sure he'll give u a reasonable quote.. if the quote he gave is over ur budget, tell him frankly what is the amt u intend and he will work out with u, by taking out some of the optional items..

Hi Ding Ding,
Saw your house, look great! I jus bought a 3-rm resale flat too, and the things that need to be renovated is similar to you. And i wish to look for a reno-contractor instead of a ID.
Could you also send me your contractor's details?
My email add is: [email protected]
Thanks!

hi sapphirechris, thanx for your compliments.. i've sent u an email with my contractor's details..

hi pYiP, the shoerack is wall mounted and comes with 21 (i dunno why it was odd-numbered) shoetrees, where u can insert them into each shoe and then hang them on the brackets on the rack.. hope my description is not too difficult to visualize.. if i got the time and energy, i'll take a closer picture and post here..

hi. do u guys think it's possible to renovate a kitchen for less than $5K? my kitchen is about 4.5m by 3.2m, 3-room flat. here's what i want to do:

1. Hack existing kitchen floor tiles & wall tiles
2. Hack sink support
3. Remove existing kitchen cabinet
4. Do plastering for the walls
5. Lay ceramic tiles (probably the cheapest ones)
6. Construct sink support

i would most probably not built those kitchen cabinets and instead use those 'normal' cabinets as a substitute. thanks.

hihi andy, i've sent u an email with all the info that u asked for.. i would recommend pantech (opp lakeside mrt station) for lightings and eng soon huat (jln besar) for toilet accessories.. do shop ard for more options before u decide.. u may not want to get everything from just 1 shop..

Hi Ding Ding,
Other than Bedrm doors and main door and wrought iron gate, I'm doing the exact same renovation.
Could you also share with me the cost of your reno & the contractor's details?

Thanks!

hello babu.. this is a busy year for me cos i changed job.. frequent travelling so i did not upload anything up here and i only log in here once every few mths..! so i am terribly sorry if i am late in replying questions..

my house was completed on time last year end feb.. did not really add more stuff to it liao.. its only 3 room and 60sqm.. anymore stuff will make it look too cramped for my liking liao..

hi elaine, i guess by now u will not need my contractor info already ba.. but if u still need it, drop me email at [email protected].. i check my email much more frequent than sgbrides..

Dear all,

I am new to this forum. I will be getting my house soon but have a tight budget for reno. Basically I have a design in mind but the trouble is getting reno contractors to do the job. Anyone with good and reliable contractor to recommend? thanks.
