Our Home in Kovan

Tecno was having a warehouse sales over the weekend and we went to take a look. We had our eyes set on this: Tecno KP9988 It has good looks and ergonomics:  taller in front to give you good clearance for your head.  The noise level is low, even at the highest setting, it is relatively quiet than most.  There's time and alarm function.  Also important consideration for cleaning and maintenance: only have to deal with a single piece of steel mesh and carbon filter.  Tecno T333 TG SV The offer was S$950 and you can pick any Tecno hob to go with it.  At this point in time, I believed anything less than a thousand for a chimney hood and a glass panel hob is a good deal.  However, the deal does not include delivery ($20-$40) and another $35 to add safety valves to the hob.  So all in all, it will still come to around $1000.   We called up Goh Ah Bee (our usual 'go to' appliance store) to check the price and it was $1150. ...

I know, this looked messy.  However, the condition of the cupboards and floorings were good.  I especially like the quality of the cabinets, they were of solid wood... more solid than the 'solid wood' that I had encounter these days.  Should we retain the cabinets? We didn't the counter that was protruding in the foreground.  The other problem area was the sink. We had to do away with this sink because we didn't like the size and it was showing some colouration due to usage.  Another reason was that the rubbish chute was underneath it, making it hard to access.  The current owner threw their garbage in the common bin downstairs!  If we were to remove the sink, the entire counter would have to be destroyed as the sink was an under-mount.
