Reno@32GME - Tenants moving in so it's FINAL PHOTOS!

We managed to get a few simple shots of our recently completed BTO before the Tenants move in. We did up the kitchen, washer plinth for the yard, wardrobes for the bedrooms and did up both common and master bathrooms with wet and dry shower areas. Vanity sink are from IKEA, got the contractor and plumber to install the sinks, taps and vanity drawers.

Reno@32GME - Taking Pictures

today i was on MC and hubs asked whether do I want to visit one of our BTO flats so I said ok. And because the boys are on school holidays, they wanted to come as well. So ok. We brought the whole village here to visit, talk to the contractor as well as the carpenter before we headed for lunch.

stay tuned for more photos to come!

ps: homeowner called to say that they couldn't find the gas pipe to hook up to the stove. We seriously thought we missed out a gas pipe and immediately called the contractor who nearly had a heart attack when he heard it. So we are all here to check it and verify for ourselves that the gas pipe is there....

Reno@32GME - Tiling

Here's a new BTO flat in Ghim Moh which we have just commenced work. Hacking has already completed. Wirings are pulled already. Tiling works are in progress. Just a quick introduction on our "NEW" project whereby the homeowners are overseeing this remotely!!!

yes, this is our 2nd home reno whereby the homeowners are out-stationed and they totally leave their home reno in our care! EEKKS! Can't tell you folks out there how much pressure this is on us since the homeowners are not here to physically see their reno progress and down to small details like choosing their home tiles, laminates, countertop etc...but like all IDs out there, we are here to help and make some good decisions and recommendations on behalf of homeowners! Because we all want to have a really nice and pleasant home to return to at the end of the day....

anyway i'm keeping my fingers cross that whatever we do, we don't miss out or get anything wrong because sometimes it's hard to second guess what home owners know or do not know, what they need to know, what they thought they knew but may not be true...well the list goes on and on.

Reno@32GME - Tiles Selection (Where to buy tiles?)

choosing tiles without the home owners. 

Lucky thing, our home owners showed us some mood images of the tiles that they like, so from those images, we are able to get a "feel" of what they might like for their new home.

I know many of you out there like to know where do we normally go to for tiles selection. So here's a list to start of with for you home owners out there.

1. Lian Seng Hin
2. Hafary
3. Soon Bee Huat
4. Hup Kiong
5. An Huat (pattern tiles)
