yah.. most impt is to get black and white from hdb. suggest u email hdb to get an official answer to be safe since you have the time. don't wait till last min then will delay your transaction only.

the hle must be valid when your agent submits the resale application. after that should be ok if it expires but during the 1st appointment, they might ask u for your pay slips if your income is already close to the cap. so there is still a chance of meeting some problems but u can always appeal if the combine income did not exceed too much. Also they will take the average of a few months if the current pay exceeds the cap. So prepare the necessary documents in case you need to appeal or anything. this is what i understood during my experience a few months ago. but better to check with your agent and hdb to confirm.

thanks, guys. any comments on the supreme ac-5 pricing with rubber sheet? what is a good price for that?

yah, treat him/her as invisible and will slowly fade away.

no experience with the shop. full leather means the whole sofa is covered with leather, half means some parts are not covered with leather. correct me if i am wrong. nv heard of UV leather leh... if it's not genuine leather, the more common types should be PU and PVC leather. think most impt is how much u paid for it?

which shop did u get it from?

i think 1.5k can get a full genuine leather 3 seater if got promotions but not sure of the quality tho. maybe u can look ard the few leather sofa shops.

Hi guys, need some comments on the following quotes for laminate flooring 1) Pergo Pratiq $6.90 2) Pergo Family $4.50 (inclusive of rubber padding layer) 3) Supreme AC-4 $4.20 (comes with foam layer. add $1/sqf for extra rubber padding layer) 10% wastage and 7% GST to be added. Have not bargained yet. How low can I go? Supreme AC-5 vs Pergo Familiy, Supreme AC-5 is better? Thanks.

any difference btw laminated solid door and veneer door?

nice sofa you have there... how much is it? where did u get it?

depends on the length and type of materials used. door will have to depend on type of door used also.

maybe u can show us some of your special 3Ds?

they are all listed here. http://www.intradesign.com.sg/contacts.html Din realise they have already moved out of bedok central.

aiyoh.. hope everything will proceed smoothly for you. but from what i read, delay is the norm for uncle mah so i guess u are not alone.

thanks all for the info. i will most prob look them up at the home fairs at expo in the coming months.

hi guys, i've communicated with Mike for my reno quotation via email. have since received his quotation for the things i am doing. would like to ask ard, still room for further discounts off the quoted price? Cos I know some ID can only only round off while others still can give a bit more discounts. so which group does baroque belongs to? want to gather some info on this in case i decide to meet him. thanks

i like the big number 8 door design.

i am also the kind who will measure here measure there. for me, i've been living with my family of 5 in a 3A flat for most of my life, so our new place will be more than enuff for just the 2 of us. have already used floorplanner to plan but will need to do a on-site measurement to make sure that it's feasible. dun want to plan 'sui sui' then in the end cannot implement. still early for us but would like to finalize on the ID/contractor by the 2nd appointment and then start picking the tiles and colors before the reno commences in early Dec.

thanks hi, there. none selected yet... still can't fit the works into our budget. also me and my gf not those type who will look for many quotes, maybe max 5. also have to be near our place in the east. so far went to all those below 1) Earnest 2) Oran ge Cu be 3) Baroque 4) Dx Interior 5) Pinklady's ID 6) Tau Interior 7) CJ Ambience 8) Gobii's ID

ic, thanks for the explanation.

@coffee_o: yah lor.. very long. yup, will be hacking 1 side of the storeroom depends on which layout to be used. @yuene: i would prefer it to be broader tho, too thin liao. that's why cannot put a proper coffee table. o/w cannot walk. the utility room is a plus. the free space btw the table and the back of the wardrobe is a headache. if less than 1m, i will forgo the layout. wardrobe to wardrobe space if less than 90cm, also have to abort. @rasp: have thought of laying 1 whole stretch of wardrobe against the wall with a small extension to form a L-shape but this way will need to install the wardrobe doors o/w look very messy cos it's very long. our idea is to have a open wardrobe. the study room in layout 2 will have no windows, this is also a concern for us. also need an additional aircon for that room o/w too stuffy. thanks for the beam reminder. will be going to have a look at the unit again on the 1st appt day to take some measurements. actually the original plan is to hack the wall to open up the study area is layout 2. but plan aborted as will look messy with the study area in view.

These are the 2 layouts that we have in mind. Layout 1 (rejected) [mg]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a364/alamakie/renovation/Layout-2-1.jpg Layout 2 (rejected) [mg]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a364/alamakie/renovation/Layout-1-1.jpg Any comments?

Been lurking around and sucking information for quite some time. Thinking of starting our own blog to seek opinions and share the reno process. Our 1st appointment will be on the 10th Sept. Looking to start the reno in early Dec and be ready before Chinese New Year. In the process of sourcing for ID/contractors now. Still trying to find someone who can fit our small budget and yet do PM for us. Going to redo everything as unit is in original condition but going to keep it simple. This is our floor plan. Thanks for viewing. Status ------- Keys - Collected Layout - Decided ID selection - Selected Reno starting in 7th Dec.

what's the diff btw profile and thickness?

Hi, need some advice. i might need to source for my own supreme laminate flooring in case i sign with a contractor whom don't carry them. most probably will have to go to expo to look for them whenever a home and furnishing fair is on. normally how early before my reno do i have to sign up with supreme? what are the hidden costs that i have to take note? thanks a lot.
