House Renovation - Budget

Hubby and I bought a house back in 2009 and that was almost 2 years ago. It is a double storey 18 x 65 ft terrace, freehold and is located in Cheras. Now, 2 years later, the house has appreciated about 30%.

We are eagerly waiting for calls and letters from the developer to inform us to obtain the keys from them. May be in March or April 2011. Hopefully soon..

In the meanwhile, no time is wasted as we are busy checking out on quotations for kitchen extension. The kitchen backyard is about 18 x 4 ft and though Hubby was not in favour, I insisted to fully extend the kitchen as 4ft is still a lot of space to be wasted. The kitchen cabinet will be in a straight line and total will be about 17ft long, minus the fridge area.

Oh, we have bought our fridge and also booked the hood, hob and oven.

The balcony will be fenced with concrete walls and the window at the master bed room will be converted into sliding doors with steps. Since the porch will be left with no space after parking 2 cars, I shall have to use the balcony as my little garden. This should be pretty beautiful, I hope.

We are looking at not more than RM45k for the whole house's renovation, plus furniture and electrical appliances. Let's see how much all this will add up to, hopefully they will be within budget, within reach (*smile*).
