Renovation

We are going to start renovating our new house.

Hubby is so fed-up with the repair that the developer is suppose to complete and decided to start renovation without the rectification of the defects. The developer seems to be taking ages to rectify since we submitted our list of defects 2 weeks ago. Some houseowner actually complaint that after 2 months and the defects are not rectify! Well, maybe because we are not paying for the defects so the developer and/or their sub-con is taking their own sweet time to rectify. If we give 2 months and paid them to do it, I think they can build us another house!

We will like to start our renovation this month but have not decided which contractor to use. If money is not a concern, we could have just choose any contractor. But money is a concern and will like to sticks to our estimated budget. Nevertheless, I'm very excited about this whole renovation process because I'm going to have my kitchen complete with an ISLAND!!!!!

I have dreamt of such kitchen ever since we bought our current house. But due to space constraint, no island in the current kitchen :( Now space is available and hubby offered to custom made an ISLAND for our kitchen. Will definetly post some photos when the reno is done.

In addition, we will have an attic in the house too. Yes, an ATTIC! The family area in the second floor has got a very high ceiling with windows and after seeing one of the neighbour's house with  a newly built attic... hhhmmmm... hubby just can't resist the idea. He said its going to be his hiding place.. hide from Angel! Angel will have a hard time looking for daddy when playing hide and seek  ;)

I just hope that as we renovate, hubby will not have some more ideas which will cause our reno costs to balloon! Now, whenever he suggested something, I will always ask him the purpose. If he can't answer, the idea will be scrapped! I wanna stick to our other plans - travelling plans so must control our funds.
