    And yes we did it at a tight budget of $40k excluding all funitures and electrical appliances..

    A full overhaul beside the toilets as they are all still in good condition.

    Hi yun69

    Thank you for your kind words :)

    Your EM is which gen? Maybe u post layout so the experts here can advise :)

    Reno cost is always going up north.. Reno these days definitely not cheap :S I try to cut down on things to do and prioritize the things to do.. Later on then slowly add on. Pockets not deep enough and big hole burnt

    Good luck and hope you find a good contractor and smooth Reno. Care to share where's your EM?

    I tink its a gen1 EM, the living hall is connected to the balcony. Yupz thks, i hope my contractor can do a gd job once i get the keys hee. btw, my EM is at Hougang. Still prefer hougang since i hav stayed there for 4yrs after my weddin. I used to b an East gal but started to like HG nw haha

    Lookin fwd to more pics at ur site :P

    I have viewed such unit before. They hacked the wall between two common bedrooms and converted part of it into WIW that connect to the toilet.

    I have also seen one unit that hacked the two L2 toilets into one. The toilet is really spacious.

    Hi Spikedoll

    Im a silent reader of ur blog. heehee. very nice kitchen!! muz b v very costly coz made of glass. i oso like ur glass panel concept at the MBR. will continue to monitor ur blog ;D

    Throughout all my hse viewings, i hav nvr seen such units b4. i juz bought an EM after searching for ~5mths (like finally!hee) and my current one has a WIW linked to MBR toilet but its very very cramp and OLD, so I was tinkin of hackin BR2&3 and try to link the WIW fr toilet to the BR. im still googling ard for more ideas which is unfriendly to my pocket.. :(

    Hi Yun69,

    For all the glass work, it was included in the package from my contractor, Benny 9621 1167. You might like to call him to find out more. As for Mindy, I think shes definitely better cos shes in eternal paradise now, haha.

    Hi everyone

    It has been >3 months and my house is still unsold. Is the resale mkt slow now? There are many viewers who came to view my house and so far the response is not too bad BUT still nobody purchase it. Becoz of my unit unsold, I have stopped visitin my dream houses as well as I find it pointless. My agent from CBRE has agreed tat we can find another agent and buy/sell the house at the same time.

    Understand that buyin a house involves a huge sum of $$ but I noe of cases whose houses were sold less than 3mths. Wonder if my agent is not experienced enough or the mkt is not doing well haha.

    Oh I see, I didn't know about the trellis. Thanks for the pic. Interesting that HDB designed the terraces that way.

    I don't agree that wet = rendered useless tho, it's just part of the design. Just need to get some outdoor furniture with big umbrella for alfresco dining (I'm guessing HDB won't allow the roof to be covered). That's what my friends with open (condo) terraces do. I guess from what you have written so far that you don't like the open terrace design very much, but so long as Wendi n family is happy staying there, that's all that matters right? Besides Bishan's famous sky terraces are open to the sky too and their resale prices are astronomical. I'm guessing that in time to come, Wendi will be able to make a nice profit on their 1st home. It's a penthouse loft apartment wor... how many people can/will be able to stay in a penthouse loft apartment in their lifetime?

    yup.. i oso dun agree wet = useless. i totally love her loft unit. mayb she can do a retractable shelter for the open roof? dunoe if it can be done thou. but 1 bad ting abt open terrace is hav to clean the area well esp after rain. everytime the rain ended, my open terrace is extremely dirty. if dun clean in time, there will be stain n these stains very hard to clear off.

    im lookin fwd to her hse reno pics.. sure turn out very nice :)

    actually i am not "pantang" but then my sis is. she also asked me to look for a house where the family are living happily, marriage good, kids good, career good and money also good. so only those upgrading to be considered, those downgrading also will not be considered.

    wah so many criteria to look in for.. the lady owner nt the v frenly type.. when we came to view, she juz sat there wif her Macbook n do her own stuffs. I viewed the other units, the owners r very frenly..

    didnt noe lookin for resale flat so troublesome.. haizz

    have heard of ppl avoiding flats becos the flat is not ideal for marriage, like couple will end up in divorce.

    why not just select another flat if you feel uncomfortable?

    hi gimz

    yup.. had selected afew more units to view since my current hse oso haven sell yet.. so i actually hav time to c c look look. but compared wif the rest of the units i hav shortlisted, tis unit wif divorce case is the most likable one due to its cityview n its v windy. well hopefully the nxt unit im viewin is oso v windy hahaa

    hi all

    thanks for the input. hmm im actually quite a 'ban-tang' person. dunoe mayb izit the fengshui for tat unit not good tats y they divorce haha but anyway im gg for the 2nd viewing for another unit. since the couple r still in the midst of doing the paperwork, i guess will take some time for everytin to be settled so i might as well visit more units b4 makin a final choice.

    thks once again :P
