Oops.. I meant the other bedroom.. Haha.. Sorry.. Its bedroom 3 i meant.. Shall edit it.. If i get a chance, will put up some of the ideas for restructurin that i have drawn.. And initiali we were also thinkin about not doing anything much but then now we are thinking we could make the structural changes now n leave e fancy designer like furnishings and etc for after our return. Still deliberating it with the wife, but all the more inputs we can get, the better..

Hi Donal, Am just wondering, what were the things you mentioned learning? It might be helpful for me to check those things with the place I am getting too. P.S. The place I am getting is also of the same layout as yours. P.P.S. Your house as it is before reno, looks to be in a far better state than the place I am getting. I really am fearing the bomb that my BASIC reno itself might amount to.

Hi Bro, Ave 6 actually spans a distance within yishun, ranging from the late 200s, late 300s and early 400s. Which region are you at? My place is actually late 300s (between the Ring rd and ave 6, but closer to the ring road). In my opinion, the more ulu parts along ave 6 would be the late 200s. Late 300s is abit better. The 400s are also abit ulu for the moment but there are LOTS of BTOS (1 up, 1 building, 2 more just annouced) coming up there, so it will pick up vibrancy in a couple of years I believe.

Good Afternoon everyone, After a year long search for a place to call our own, we just signed the OTP for our resale flat at Yishun 2 days back. The flat is a 5I model (122sqm), low floor and in a VERY original condition. The area is fairly quiet though its a fair bit away from the central and MRT station. At the moment, we are awaiting to get the appointment dates. In the meanwhile, I've been on an overload on RT and also doing some very rough drawings/sketches on the computer on what we might want to do with our place. Our situation is a little bit tricky as we will be leaving SG in 1.5 yrs time, to be away overseas for 3-5yrs (work reasons for both of us). During this time, we will be renting the place out so that the house will keep paying for itself. As such, at present, while we HAVE to do reno, we need to do it carefully so as to not overdo it given we wont be reaping the fruits of our idea,s efforts, work and $$ as much as the rental folks would. So cracking our heads to see where the line is. Essential works in our minds at the moment: - 2 X bathrooms - 1 X kitchen - All Doors & door frames of the house - Painting of the whole house - Wardrobes for MBR & one BR Ideas we are still contemplating - Creating a small room (1.2m X 1.2m) in the kitchen, connecting to the hall (to be our prayer room). - Levelling up the balcony with the living - Creating a wall in the current MBR to cut the bathroom off & creating a door at the end of BR3. (to make BR3 to MBR) Given our situation (renting out aft a year), most probably we wouldn't be going to any IDs but rather to contractors. I am even thinking if it is even feasible to do things directly myself with the individual subcontractors. But with the work commitments I have, I have doubts on pulling that off. Anyway, enough of my yapping for the moment, here's the floor plan of our place.
