你喜欢哪个地板颜色？1？2？3？4？你是公司？up主？中介？一定要看Relay Club! relay.club/go/teachermike/

为什么不用瓷砖??

选自己喜欢的就行。 在亚洲什么都好。就是人口密度高，住得小。国外什么都不方便，但是住得舒服。噢，对了，一个家最重要的是人，只要家庭和睦，什么装修都是好的。

有人干嘛唱衰人家在上海生活呢，人家本身就是美国来的，家人在哪家在哪，在哪里落脚，有个家都是幸福的事。上海对于穷人来说是很残忍，但是麦克老师既然能买得起上海的房子，那就是在他能承受的范围之内。

[@kaydens6964]

借得了钱买房子…

[@murrymu4632]

2:36 麦克老师是个非常细心体贴的丈夫。 祝装修一切顺利。

[@晴陈]

装修房子确实是一个充满挑战的过程，我也曾经历过在上海装修一套老房子，有后悔也有点灰心，所以看到麦克老师的视频很感同深受。但或许这就是生活，它没有我们想象得那么好，也好在没有我们想象得那么糟，也真心希望麦克老师一家在上海的生活能顺利，不要灰心，加油^_^

[@jenrusso123]

we are currently in the kitchen remodeling process, I can feel your pain. Good luck!

[@AnimalsLittleHouse]

真不容易，为在社会上有立锥之地。好好设计装修小家也会很漂亮温馨，加油!

[@willstse]

我也是刚装修，麦克老师，装修的坑多吃点好，等到你入住进去你会感觉更多的坑。所以装修越慢越好，越多问题越好。你不能设想到你真正使用时候的坑在哪里。很多是你想都想不到的，等到你用了一段时间，一大堆坑会让你奔溃的。所以不要搞得太复杂。后期好改，一开始太复杂，后期就没法补救了。

[@web2kx]

can not wait to see the final look. best luck.

[@sherylchen9510]

加油！期待最後的成果！

[@928sun]

Upon completion of renovation, please follow with VOC removal by natural ways or by professional company for the sake of health. It is very important.

[@9old61]

買的沒有賣的精明。所以裝修真的到處都是坑。質量好的怕貴，便宜的怕質量不好。外部好看內部不一定好！麥克老師加油！！！

及早在上海或周邊置產你不會後悔的，抗通膨最好方法。

[@rexrex1008]

如果地板颜色浅，灯光不好配，稍微亮一点，地上就很扎眼。

[@mannixtong409]

The sooner the better!

[@cadenzaskoung9198]

因為不清楚您裝修房子的整體經過,但感覺您似乎是自己一項項處理?比方為了地板,就單獨找了專門的公司,專門挑選和整修. 但如果選擇一家負責室內裝潢的公司,只要和設計師討論自己的預算和需求,請他們規劃,可能就不用事必躬親,整體的費用或許也會低一些. 衷心祝福您的新家順利落成!!

为何不铺瓷砖地呢？中国人工便宜铺瓷砖地好打理。在中国买木地板，木家具一定要注意甲醛，VOC排量

How to people in china can do KZbin . I listing gaverment shuttle all out Internet..

[@shelleymobu3827]

All this hardship in getting everything done , and done perfectly, by having to totally engage yourself in the whole process , is because of lack of trust between the client and remodeling company. without careful monitor, without having to make sure things turn out the way you want, you just can not afford to leave everything to the company, who may easily cutting corners. Though similarly a strenuous thing to do in Japan, I dont have to go monitoring the workers on the site and go to material market to make sure they wont give me the compromised goods. TRUST

I feel sorry for those guys who spent tons of money on their apartment. I hope the house market will not collapse this year, otherwise it will be a disaster for many young families.The information for supply and demand of house market, it’s not transparent.It looks like people just want more and more houses. It is not only happening in China, it’s all over the world. Some Chinese buyers are just everywhere in the world, they buy and sell their properties, but they don’t really need them.People should find some other ways to put their deposit rather than always in the house market.

Chinese won’t call it money burning. It is an investment for attracting future buyers

[@MrYatesj1]

I am sure you have heard of diminishing returns. We all want a lovely place and Mike and his family seem to be doing it the smart way (not over spending for a lovely place) if anyone spends over what a place can sell for they have stopped investing in future sale price to over spend on lavish amenities. When markets reach the top of what the common worker can afford the market will adjust (Bubbles bursting) and prices on housing will fall. Over spending on remodels is common in every culture someone in the family must understand the market place and how finances work or it becomes very sad of the family.

[@zheli6243]

Shanghai is a hyped up place with rieiculously over priced housing. Why the first Disney in China is build in shanghai instead of other cities, what on earth does shanghai contribute more than other cities in China.?

I'm very angry about learning English. Some British pronunciation, some American pronunciation. Last time a black man said two words to me in the supermarket, one little and one big, which means the pocket is too small, the black wants a big one. I have absolutely no idea what these two words mean because the pronunciation is totally different from what I learned. I thought about it for a long time, and the black man looked at me with disdain, thinking I was an idiot, or if I was playing tricks on him. It makes me very angry, I promise I am very angry. Also very painful.
