  1. Different people will see that it's worthed it in different ways. When I bought my bishan flat also blk 2++, it's because I wanted my son to go to sch conveniently. To me, paying a higher price then was worthed it because he could go and return from sch easily. He's already in the sch then but we wanted nearer. Within walking distance. We also got a nicely decorated bright spacious flat with a nice view at a very high floor. Compared to our first flat also a 4rm where we got no view at a low floor, area smaller by 20sqm, home was bit dark and amenities not so many, shifting to bishan was very worthed it even though the buy price diff between 1st and 2nd flat was more than 150k. Can walk to bishan mrt. Got link to circle line and NE line. Now, just sold my bishan flat. Feel sad. Worthed it to sell? Ya, also same. Valuation? Almost fainted when I saw it. 510k for 4rm.
  2. Hi, the poles are fixed. I'm using ezlift for 5 years already.
  3. Think if got hacking, must get permit. Like your kitchen tiles replacement, need to hack off the bulging parts? Windows need permit, dunno if included bathroom window, but I think need, then installer must be bca approved. When sell house, you will need to rectify them if they are not to hdb specifications.
  4. Hi, The one that I'm going to use charge by items. If I need them to move additional boxes on top of what we have agreed, $20 per 10 boxes.
  5. Everjoint quoted me $2095 for a Daikin non-inverter system 3. MA56 + 3x9btu. 3 ticks Include class 1 armaflex, unlimited piping, 2 times installation, dismantling and disposing existing unit. Is it a good deal? Tks.
  6. Hi, welcome welcome. So glad to see another one staying in toa payoh. Which part of tpy are u at?
  7. Bankrupt can apply hle and list as owner, subject to hdb approval. Tried that. But loan value is very low even if one party has much higher income. All applicants must have stable income. Plenty of documents to submit, bank statements maybe 12 mths, credit bureau reports for all, ... process quite long. Wrote a very long letter to hdb detailing why a loan is needed and how it would have helped. They approved a loan with specifics. Amount low. Banks dun lend to bankrupts, joint applicant with non-bankrupt also cannot. Full-stop. Bankrupts as occupiers, no prob. Bank ok. HDB also ok. If your parents are not working, getting loan from hdb is really a gamble. Even if working, approved deduction is only what is contributed to cpf oa for all parties. Even if you earn more, they won't loan more since got bankrupt, what more you got 2. If you are eligible for hle, try lor, and at the same time, include a letter stating your need and problem. Maybe...
  8. Does anyone have any feedback on CYC Movers? Would like to engage them but dunno if they give good service. Tks.
  9. It's not at serangoon central. Near potong pasir mrt. Tel: 6282 5986 Fax: 6282 8994 Address: No 25/25A Tai Thong Crescent S(347856)
  10. You can use rhb reno loan calculator to check your monthly repayment and compare with ocbc reno chart.
  11. There... post one for you using photobucket.
  12. Did you have [ img ] ... [ /img ] when you put in the link? (without the spaces between [] and img.) Think photobucket at the side got 1 box say "share" You can copy and paste the link with the IMG Code heading, I think.
  13. Me. But I did not apply direct. I have a rep to apply for me. Thursday afternoon submit to rep, bank call to me on following wed to say approve, approval letter and instructions received a week later. Usually 3 days can get news, maybe now is busy time. As my rep said, no news sometimes is good news.
  14. The prices are indeed very attractive. In fact I was tempted by the price too. Cheaper than what other shops are selling. But again, can you guarantee that quality is ok? They don't really have a showroom here so many pieces you may only be able to order through catalogue. For furniture, I feel safer if I can feel and see it before buying even if the cost is higher. At least I know what I can expect.
  15. Maybe you want to check your package offer again, cos I think for $600 can fill 2 toilets. Unless the items are the very expensive types. I bought at Park Mall. Not sure if can post the shop name here. The only thing I like about the shop is all the tap models there, can look, touch and play with the levers!! Shower package I think is 480, and Bath package 530 before gst. Shower head is croma 100 vario jet. Got 300 plus packages too. Was considering it seriously but decided not to get it cos I prefer the talis design better.
  16. Erm... I think some are expensive? Dunno the rest. Eg. Mine paint whole house, pipes, gate, door, frames using nippon 6 col is abt $1250, shower screen also much lower. I think your casement cupboard v ex at $290 pfr. Normal should be ~$210 to $220??
  17. Hi, Welcome. Just realised that your floor plan is exactly the same as my aunt's when she was living in Serangoon. Anyway, have fun and do update us with pictures.
  18. Mmm... I'm not sure. But for mine, id will give me 3d of toilets even though there's no carpentry. He said he would do up a design for the toilet based on tiles and show us. But living room we got no 3d drawing cos we really never do anything there except floor tiles, so we dun mind if got no pic.
  19. I'm doing option 3 for my new place. My old place got built-in this and built-in that, but after a few years, the condition like not very good and then I don't know what to do cos throw also cannot, improve it like waste of money, so just live with it and find them eyesore.
  20. What you mean by "twin package"? basin mixer, shower mixer and shower head x 2 sets? cos if only 1 set like very ex. I bought the Talis E2 package and if yours is for 2 sets, then I think it's a good deal.
  21. Also can, but I would prefer not to have gap since gap only 5cm. A bit hard to remove water or spills underneath cupboard. Also good hiding place for xiao qiang and family. Maybe if legs are 15 cm, I would consider. Easy to mop space below. But to me, put legs like not very nice. Then I would rather have suspended cabinets. Kitchen floor also slightly sloping cos tiles are placed tilted so water will flow to drainage pipes. The cement base will help to level the cabinets, I think.
  22. Neither have I. I supposed these must be the entry level taps and shower. But then again, why not? Buying them separately may not make much of a diff. For example, A not-so-branded but nice-looking basin tap may be 80, bath mixer 100 shower head 100. Cost 280 excluding gst. Buying as a set, you get similar designs. I'm sure quality is there too. As for myself, I bought hansgrohe packages for my new place. No idea why, but I just like the design and the feel. For your kitchen tap, not sure if you can get it elsewhere cheaper but you should feel comfortable with the price and the product since you are going to use it for long term. If it makes you feel better, my kitchen tap cost more than yours. However, there is also nothing wrong with made-in-china stuff. Of course, the price may even be much cheaper. Functions the same. Quality I dunno. It all depends on your preference and budget.
  23. I will keep only the cabinet base as I might wash floor and don't wish for water and soap to enter my cabinets.
  24. Ya, dun think you would want to put lights above the fan as the moving blades will create flickering effects. Also cove ceiling can be home to lizards and stuff.
  25. Thanks. Me too. Took me quite a long time finally settle on this. Actually, short time lah, just that after I placed deposit, got doubts, so went looking for others, but in the end still back to this.
