Don't think HDB will allow the hacking.. My 3-rm oso c/w these steps but not the stum/block... I wld love to hv it though as it can serve as a seater for my visitors to wear shoes..

Hi Seng, congrats on getting ur flat, & welcome to the 3-roomers' club & to RT! Hv a pleasent 1st appt on 元宵节/V-Day, & look forward to an exciting & smooth reno journey! The 'garden walkway' leading to ur unit very nicely done up, at least looks quite well-maintained.. but it does limit the walking space & will pose hindrance to ur reno (materials & furniture delivery, etc.)
-
That's gd! Get myself updated too! Thx!

Hi bros, pardon me, but i think expanding the toilet (wet area) i.e. hacking the original toilet wall & pushing it out into the MBR is definitely a no-no by HDB.. do check it out first.. ur ID/contractor should be able to advise.. Most ppl i saw did their basin/vanity outside the toilet & builded an extra wall to screen this area instead. The flooring of this area is also often tiled up as washing at the basin will wet the floor (especially if the MBR is laminate flooring) Just sharing..

Oh dear! After the drama at the sale, then all the hiccups during the reno, and now the reno gaps are unfolding.. Really hope 一切顺顺利利 for u in the coming Yr of the Horse! -
Ya, no need to rush to finish it if you could afford the time.. can watch the progress & quality/worksmanship closely.. Mine took almost 3 months even without any break.. more bcos the ID/contractor slow lor & hiccups along the way.. luckily i not in a rush.. Good luck!!

So cheery! First CNY in ur new complete house! 恭喜恭喜! -
looks like very good progress! will it be ready for CNY?
-
Sure! That's all part of the excitement isn't it? More to come hor bro! Feel free to share when ready. We can share our experiences too! Cheers! PS. Can PM me.. I may be able to share my detailed quotations (from multiple IDs) did up in a spreadsheet.. the prices may not be valid but the line items may be helpful

Just to share, did a complete overhaul of my 28-yo 3A (74 sqm) abt 1.5 yr ago in 2012 at >$45K (prices might have changed since). Included everything except retained the 2 bedrms' flooring (overlaid with laminates) & 3 original metal door frames (living & bedrms).. also hacked the original storerm (2 walls) & re-erected it (2 new walls) into the kitchen area. However, agree with claypot that it may be difficiult to comment w/o looking at the details - scope & extent of work (e.g. how much carpentary; i have quite a fair bit) & quality of materials used (e.g. granite vs. solid surface for kitchen top)
-
Hi claypot, congrats on ur unit, & welcome to the 3-roomers' club & to RT You have a very clean-cut unit which makes it easy to do space planning & furnishing.. Enjoy ur reno journey! Looking forward to see the transformation!

U can still consider combining the common & MBR toilets into one with acess frm both the MBR & toilet. U could lock the toilet door tt opens to the MBR from the MBR so that guest could not access to ur MBR frm the toilet. Hv come across a RT forumer who did it. Like tt u could create a vanity and shower screen in the otherwise small toilets separately..

Hi vincx, just ventured into ur t-Blog after saying hi to you in Songz's! Nice nice nice!!

Power sia! Can use for all bathrm assessories?
-
Ya, epoxy though very strong, not sure can hold so strongly! Do consult ur ID/contractor & share the advice. If really can, think it's not such a bad idea bcos the thought of having to change some of the drilled-in bathrm accessories in future but it will leave holes on the wall tiles (unless tactfully concealed by the new accessories) really is a concern..
-
Hi Songz, congrats on ur new flat & welcome to the 3-roomers' club & to RT! Ya do ur homework to gather as much ideas as possible, & consider the options & budget carefully! Take ur time if time is not a critical factor (know the eagerness to do it though ) Njoy ur reno journey! Looking forward to our sharing experience with u & seeing the transforamtion!

Hi amirahpaul (guess it's amirah & paul? ) Welcome to the 3-roomers' club & congrats on ur reno completion! Mind sharing which corner of the island ur unit is? Mine oso a 74sqm 3A (of a different layout) & I oso moved the storerm from the living hall (to make space for a dining area) to the used-to-be huge kitchen but my kitchen becomes somewat small now.. probably due to poor space planning ba.. but my living hall does look a bit more spacious on the other hand.. well, i guess one can't win it all ba.. Ya boy, ur ceiling seems so highhh... just look at the space above the bedroom doorway even with the ceiling cove lights!
