PL Renovation Progress : Day 101
As we count down to the last few weeks before our official house warming and moving in at the end of the month, we were eagerly awaiting the installation of our sliding doors for our master bedroom-study. In fact, I was so excited when I saw their truck downstairs that the picture was blurry due…

Head to Serangoon Road for Your Jewelry Holder Needs
I had seen this row of shops along Serangoon Road, in the direction of Boon Keng Mrt where they sell metal grids and display shelves for retail. I managed to convince Sidah to drop by for a look and in the end, she had so much crammed into so many bags we couldn’t carry it…

Service yard taps and front load washing machines don’t mix
I learnt a lot from this thread in the punggol forum. If it weren’t for bumblebee, I wouldn’t even have realized we can unscrew the bottom part. Some of the photos of the tap were also taken by him and put up here (with his permission of course). That made it much easier to ask…

Sidah’s Chesterfield Couches
I finally managed to convince Sidah to actually unwrap our couches since we were having guests later tonight. Even then she wanted to only open the smaller one so that her grandmother had a comfortable seat. Thankfully when our first guests arrived, she realized it made sense to open both. We still haven’t decided yet…

Some deliveries and a little DIY
These past two days we had two deliveries that came in. The first was our Mitsubishi Electric stainless steel fridge ($785) and Bosch front load washer ($799). We had bought it from the Mega Discount Store at Kallang Leisure Park. The second delivery was for our Garoo 1+2 seated couch ($1299). We loved the couch…

PL Renovation Progress : Day 93
Today’s visit to the house was for the installation of our solid surface Cresto countertop. Shortly after they arrived, they asked me if I was this Hafiizh, the house owner, or the contractor in charge (why do people always mistake me for some contractor???). The workers turned out to be fellow Muslims from Bangladesh so…

Kitchen and wardrobe package
Argh I wished this came out before I had asked Room for Ideas and Classic Furniture to my wardrobes and kitchen. Looks legit and at a great price too! If any of you end up taking this, let me know how it worked out. I’ll share it here for everyone. Updates : Reyna was keen…

PL Renovation Progress : Day 88
Today Room for Ideas sent their plumber to do the piping works. Not much needed to be done thankfully – one of the advantages of a BTO flat. All I requested for was for sprays to be attached at each bathroom and the installation for my kitchen sink. The kitchen guys also came by to…

PL Renovation Progress : Day 87
Today the workers from Classic Furniture are to finish up the cabinetry. They were again punctual at 10am but I was a bit late because Sidah wasn’t feeling too well today. Even so I managed to unlock the door before reporting for work. I returned in the late afternoon to just hang around and try…

PL Renovation Progress: Day 86
The Classic Furniture contractors showed up bright and early on this gloomy Tuesday to start on my kitchen. We’ve entered the last stage of my renovation! I had to leave them to their tasks as I had to make my way down to work. Thankfully my job made it possible to be there to open…
