Reno Blog #07 - Renovation starts!

Our renovation starts! ID visited our flat for first review on 8 April. We are Christians, so not pan tang on specific dates to start work, so we just left it to our ID to arrange dates with his staff and sub-contractors. I wasn't physically there to view the progress regularly, but hubby was. I didn't think of blogging on the reno at that time, so I didn't keep track of the order of construction work done. But I think they generally started with the cement work at the Yard and Kitchen areas.


Kitchen - Water Pipes/ floor tiles hacked and replaced. 
We wanted to move the sink to the wall opposite, so the water pipes had to be re-run, under the original kitchen floor tiles. The kitchen floor was hacked.
