hahahha your neighbours so cute!!!! Good for you lah! And it's like bonding time also.

the flower decal is sooooooo sweet!!!! so pretty! That's a lot of storage along your wall man..

mm then how you all make payment to korean seller ah? *i swakoo* ehh lol cos I want to buy the nice nice shoes.

WELCOME!!

WELCOMEE!!!

then then then why the current status = sourcing contractors???

I also dunno. Maybe haven't even wake up at all. *sigh* merryman is right. But it's troublesome for them. However, if the postal code does lead to an actual address, it might be given to the postman of that area, who when delivering might discover the error, and re-route the letter back to Singpost HQ for it to be sent to the right place. I reckon the wrong postal code on my letter does not lead to any place.. So Singpost double checked the address to send it here. Next time.. I really don't know what else can go wrong.

You all know what's the best part... while I was signing the documents just now.. I noticed that... THE POSTAL CODE ON THE LETTER IS WRONG! HDB got our address wrong. Kudos to Singpost for making sure it arrives on time. So Ivy... I think what Rierie says is right. By the time anything is ready to go... 7th Month might be over even. *faints*

I was taller than BD.. then I got so happy I jumped so high I hit my head on the ceiling and got short again. hahah ya but it's REALLY BEEN LONGGGGGGGGG mm We have to sign the documents and send it back to them. Uncle can apply for reno permit on Monday (tmr) Good! cos it's 7th month and Uncle has more time on his hands I guess. hehe mm when am I starting work? I'd say the week after this one. Probably next Monday... I'll discuss with Uncle tomorrow. hehe Finally felt happy seeing the letter from HDB..

WAHHAHAHAH :dancingqueen: I GOT THE LETTER TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Paiseh. should have been yesterday but I didn't open letterbox. LOL ********************************************** Rasp... According to your timeline... 1) They will send us the letter to confirm the purchase and ask for the layout (to shift those meter stuff). Yup. If you took your loan from HDB you should have an easier time than me. But if like me, u took from bank then you still have to wait for the bank to revert and release your mortgage to your self-appointed lawyers. 2) After we revert about the layout, they will check if its acceptable and if so, they will send us another letter to tell us to shift the things according to the layout submitted. Not you revert about the layout... it's your contractor must revert about the layout. You have to tell your contractor about this, then he gets his plumber and electrician to come down (separately) and draft out the layout and ask YOU to sign their draft before they submit on your behalf. 3) Then we can get the electrician to shift the meter. After which, we need to inform them that the shifting is completed, then they will send their TO down to check. They will contact the electrician.. then he will make appt with you to come to your house to do. Then the TO like you said.. will come and take photos.... 4) After their TO checked and its correct, then they will send another letter to confirm the shift and then advise on the purchase. 5) Only after the purchase is completed and they send us the letter to confirm, then we are allow to erect the wall and door to seal up the area that we purchased. And only then can we do the floor tiling of the recess area and any carpentry for that area. Ya. must apply reno permit somemore... and did you read the above part? They deducted my money way before the electricals were done. URGHHHH ** Oh ya. I waited nearly 2 months for the first letter to come. hahahaha with the breakdown of costs... hahahaha so "fast"

Hey beany... I had a similiar problem also.. but mine was the morning sun... so we decided to put up blinds. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?s=...st&p=420359 Initially we wanted the vertical fabric sort so that the blinds can be drawn to the side. but those are very very lightweight and when blown they become super untidy. So we got these which were heavier. So far... even when it's windy they allow the wind through the pieces and don't blow and hit the window.. So it's quite good.

mm ya should be good. I shall try next weekend... hehe or shall buy back ask my dad to do. Show us your before and after pics Bon07?

hehe I'm in Simei. But that's a nice suggestion for a last resort. I'll see how responsive they are to the lawyers then find out the next MP session.

*FAINTS* since you're the guy then it should be Ladies First. hehe I'm sure PD will agree. lalalalala Erhm storm not making things better. hahahahah

nvm la. at least it's in the same colour family... luckily not blue already. And you're right. it's her room. once you close the door you wouldn't be able to see.

hahahhahahaha If I had a utility room... LOL... I promised my mom that if HDB ever upgrades for us and gives us one, it'll be made into a laundry room with storage shelves. Will ensure the water proofing is very good inside, build a kerb at the door area, washing machine goes inside and let her hang her clothes there. hahahah On top of that we'll put all the less expensive stuff on the shelves inside and the door for this room is lockable from the kitchen.

I hope so! mm Freddy.. don't be upset. They might be over to clean up someone's place first for HO. Did Uncle give you a HO date?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Not well not well. they are really blood-suckers. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?sh...&start=1400 I do hope it's over soon. urgh Agree. I think some of the houses, the carpenters did that. Ivy why don't you ask Uncle....

mmm your reno process seemed quite ok wor.. but now the after doesn't seem so happy. But house is nice so don't be too upset ok? Things will resolve..

mmm ya a bit obvious cos it's copper... I think it'll be difficult to paint white? Cos after that you'll have to touch-up now and then on your own. mm Maybe boxing up is a better solution..

AGREEEEE LOL

And my BIL said.. "To think they got the efficiency award thingy...." Can't even get our gender right. The latest letter was written in reply to my lawyer's and on my lawyer's letter both of us where clearly stated as "Ms.".... :o They just married me off and I don't even know about it... haiz

hoot! hehe Uncle these couple of days seem to be more free.. have you asked for quote yet? Rem to source for many many quotes to compare! mmm a little.. but you have a nice balcony to balance out as washing area... What is the utility room going to be? a big store room?
