2 more days to our big day :)

Like what I said on the last posting. This has been a busy week. 2 more days to our ROM, busy with the preparation. Thankfully most of the things has been settle as of now. Going to check in to the hotel tomorrow. Hope everything goes smoothly on Tuesday. Well, here is a quick update on our home reno progress.

We met up with our ID on Thursday at our new place. She checked the room dimensions and condition of the house. No major surprises with the exception that the wall are not very properly plastered. Not as smooth as expected for a 5 year old flat. My understanding is that for new flats, the standard of plastering is that you get a smooth surface wall. Unlike flats in the 70s and 80s, the plastering standard was just so that you do not see the shape of the bricks and cement gap.. hahaha..

No doubt the wall is not as badly done as flats done in the 70s (like my current place) still it not something that you would like to see. Looks like it is another $1500 into the plastering job.

other then the walls, the doors are also very old looking. Horrible looking door knobs with cheap looking wooden surface (not smooth) painting. $200 bucks to change each door. Thoughts as of now is that I would rather spend a bit more rather then to endure the imperfection..haha.. just hope that I do not become the frog in the boiling water.

Hence now total estimated damage going to Intradesign is $37,400. Look towards achieving perfection! Changing every single inch of the house already :)
