Sky high quote

I received the first quote from a contractor yesterday for our home reno and nearly had a fit! It was SGD$32,000!!! That's to hack away the existing tiles and wall, replace tiles around the house, replacing doors, replacing the kitchen cabinets, building in a wardrobe and storage shelves...

That's waaaaaaaaaaaaay to much. We have to replace the furniture too thanks to our tenants who ruined my sofa, dining set, shoe cabinet and washing machine. Ah! And they took my electric kettle, iron, ironing board and high stool. I can't find eaither of these items in my house. piss me off!!!!
