Espresso Neutral Newbie April 2, 2012 Author Share April 2, 2012 fake ceiling is useful if you are living in top floor where the ceiling in slanted... or you like those lighting which flush with the ceiling.

Joseph22 Turbocharged April 2, 2012 Share April 2, 2012 Thanks bro will check it out! anyway, when you look for reno on the floor. see if you can break down the working cost and the tiling cost or not.. cause most quoted as a package with a limit of say up to $2.00 per square feet ($2.50 if lucky) price limit on the tiles you can chose.

Espresso Neutral Newbie April 2, 2012 Author Share April 2, 2012 (edited) confirm, HDB 2.6metres condo 3.3 am staying in govt. already my ceiling is significantly shorter (i won't die from it i know) but y wanna make my already "short" ceiling shorter? valid considerations: lower ceiling, lesser air ventilation. of cos, one can box up, L-box to get the intended effect of no trunking. i choose the one with minimal reduction to my air-flow. I like tall ceiling and minimal furnishing. White pls.... But wife's taste (sometimes questionable) is diff...

Theoldjaffa Hypersonic April 2, 2012 Share April 2, 2012 I got my ID to provide breakdown for everything....cupboard and stuff are not cheap but they are standard pricing...I didnt want any false ceiling though. I kinda suspect false ceiling doesn't come cheap. But kudos to you for building such a beautiful comfortable house for your family. You're a good man thx :) mine is simple, compared to the reno my neighbours in the same precinct had. there was one that's very nice, more than 100k on reno alone.. but i don't have permission to post his pix.

Joseph22 Turbocharged April 2, 2012 Share April 2, 2012 like that $3.5K? you kana carrot liao bo? dont think is consider carrot. think he is only getting them to do 3 job. you go any lower, highly unlike any contractor will want to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk65 1st Gear April 2, 2012 Share April 2, 2012 I like tall ceiling and minimal furnishing. White pls.... But wife's taste (sometimes questionable) is diff... condo = 3.3metres i would say the ceiling at most 30cm. that would leave you 3metres of good air flow siao liao......

Theoldjaffa Hypersonic April 2, 2012 Share April 2, 2012 yeah.. now we have to be creative... hmm.. island for kitchen.. i think its a really good ideal... only problem is the cleaning after cooking nia.. but for modern household in singapore where cooking is a luxurity, i guess still do able. i like the whole design, simple and elagant. been to some.. house look like ikea showroom... nice to look but not very practical to use. we don't do deep frying (philips air fryer does the trick) i don't have nor need a hood and cleaning is a breeze.

Chewbacca 1st Gear April 2, 2012 Share April 2, 2012 like that $3.5K? you kana carrot liao bo? Previous owner took down an entire wall (floor to ceiling) between 2 rooms to make 1 extra big master bedroom. Also walled up the door for the room that was 'removed'. It's one whole wall. About.....3 meters ma? Or maybe 4, can't remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoldjaffa Hypersonic April 2, 2012 Share April 2, 2012 Very neat and very clean design. Is it always in this condition or you cleared everything for the shoot? those pix were taken just after the reno was completed in 2010. now.. my white sofa has turned gray and there's a few additions to the decor, but generally i keep my house spick and span at all times. things taken out must be put back in place nicely. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoldjaffa Hypersonic April 2, 2012 Share April 2, 2012 a good place would be renotalk.com.sg the folks there are extremely generous in sharing quotations and real invoices. i had my fair share of good information during my reno as well. avoided some bad apples from the industry too. yup. if MCF is for cars, then renotalk is for reno. wealth of info there. great place to be.
