40k COV not ridiculously high lah....
-
its a simple supply and demand... seller can ask for any sky-high cov, but if there is no party keen to pay, it will just be wishful thinking. also beware that sometimes it could be the real estate agent hiding the bids from the seller, in hope of pocketing a higher commission.

EMs at Jurong West Street 42 tend to be on the cheaper side than those at Street 41... You can try your luck at the 3 clusters of EMs there.

There are variants within each category but they are largely:
Gen 1 : Rectangular balcony accessible only by the living room
Gen 2 : Square balcony with access from living room and kitchen
Gen 3 : Similar to Gen 2 but smaller (approx 14x sq m vs. 15x sq m)
An then there are the penthouse types (Strathmore, Potong Pasir, Bishan), the triangular type, and certain Gen 2 even have a small MBR balcony, and so on. But most of us have pretty standard layouts.
Actually Gen 3 comes with two balconies, one in living room, the other being a service balcony. They also come without a rubbish chute.

potatoes, may i suggest u get some bird control spikes from daiso (green or black in color)and place them where the nest is after the birds move out.

I will pay zero since u have a record of the business dealings with the seller's agent and nothing with the other.
Nothing done, nothing paid.

any recommendation for the Malaysian contact for blinds? Does he come into Singapore for the first visit?

I would have asked him to A) pay me for damages, or B)FO without paying a him single cent.

glass, once tempered, cannot be cut.

ABS is the edge trimming. Nothing to do with slamming. Not the anti lock brake system.
Convention edging tends to split open when the glue has dried up.

An interesting variation on the typical EM model:
Courtesy of Little Monkey's Tree House
The 'study' is actually larger than the 'dining' area (they expect people to study a lot in Bukit Panjang, apparently...
), there is both a balcony and service balcony (Yay! Somewhere to hang clothes and somewhere to chill out outdoors!), and bedroom 3 actually juts out over the access corridor below (hmmm... no comment!). A very interesting design!This is the floorplan of the 3rd and the last generation of EMs built. They come with central rubbish chute, hence none in the house.

the electrician was the first to come in after the hacking was done. wires and trunking laid according to floorplan, then the false ceiling guy come in to seal it all up. after it's done the electrician will make another trip to cut holes and install the lights/sockets etc. So it's not a big hassle between these two jobs.

The older flats toilet design forces one to walk past the shower before u reach the throne, which is a PITA when u r like me, who like to do my business in dry land. My mom's flat was like that. Suggest that u move the throne out and the shower closer to the ventilating window.

ahem... let me count how may sub-cons i have...
1) electrician
2) aircon
3) false ceiling
4) glass works
5) sanitary installer
6) carpenter
7) window maker
8) iron monger
9) aluminum works
10) door guy
11) and the main-con for hacking, tiling, plumbing and painting.
Did i enjoy it? **** yeah.. i learned tons enough to be a main-con should i need a job. Was it time consuming? ohh yes, but it was the last quarter of the year and i had to clear leave anyways... Did it save me loads of money? I don't think so, but what i paid for, i made sure it was the quality and standard that i wanted.
And the whole journey started.... because i was adamant to use a kitchen cabinet maker not under any main-con.

If it's 24/7 air-conditioned, leather. Else forget it. U don't want to have to peel yourself off the sofa.
