hi there,

Added on November 27, 2010, 11:05 pmhi bro,

ya what i mean is, i gave to those ID to quote me for my house reno, but they price is really expensive and i don't think so i can afford it.
and no choice then i only choose to do it myself.
i didn't mean for all ID for sure.
no hard feeling ya

after tat what happen on urs??

ya agreed. just i dun have the budget for it, so i force to use off my time to deal direct with contractor

lol, my house located at kampung area, but doesn't mean to make it like kampung style, i will try to make it become modern.
and u r right, faint from the day 1 i start reno it, and one of the reason of faint is bcoz i wan to control the reno cost not over 100k.
60k? i also want it

for me is quite big job bcoz i didnt make it b4, i didn't rush sure got reason, one of it is busy on my work, another one is bcoz i still got house to stay currently
and my house located at kampung like area, not kl for sure

Added on November 28, 2010, 1:19 amunfortunately, 100k only for reno, not yet include furniture and appliances, my pain.
i dun think i will choose branded, but i also need to see the quality 1st

depend on house size i think, 100k i still headache on lack of fund, especially if wan to make it become modern and nice.
ya nowadays most of the developer just give the "basic" things for new house, and those things are useless and we need to change it for sure.
btw, i got saw ur post, why not u post some of ur house pic, then others forumers may can help u and quote u?just my opinion
