  1. My contractor was actually concerned that hdb will not approve the wall hacking, but actually I got the approval even faster than normal! I suppose other home owners might also take opportunity to Reno after HIPS because the house is going to be a mess anyway. In my case, was rather lucky as I got the house keys and HIPS happen within next month.
  2. The wall to the toilet was hacked and all debris removed within 2 hrs.. Wah really quick work by the contractor, now there is a big ugly hole. According to my contractor, the HIPS contractor will settle everything nicely.. Keeping my fingers crossed that it's true!
  3. Went to 2 shops: BJ lighting & electrical 147 jln Bakawali 50 Tmn johor jaya 07-354 9939 And Bath factory outlet sdn bhd 1, jln dedap 3, tmn johor jaya 016-2270781 The 2nd outlet is the one with many fans mounted. Recommend as they have both fans and bathroom stuff, shop is much bigger!
  4. Went to JB last week and bought some simple bathroom lights/accessories as well as checked out the fans.
  5. HDB worked really fast and approved the toilet door hacking within 3 days! On 4th day morning they called me! Kudos to Mr Liu from Bkt batok branch office! Hacking will be done next mon by by contractor and HIPS will happen starting 18th!
  6. Don't think it's possible - better take taxi
  7. I am using a contractor for the hacking, recommended by a family member: Mr Lee, 9732 5645. He works pretty fast, came down to view and submitted docs almost immediately, but no idea yet in the workmanship. My family member who recommended him said he is good.
  8. Today went to JB to look at lights and other furniture, but instead of doing the "real job", went and bought other stuff instead! However, am satisfied with the trip as i ate lots of goodies and also bought this really cute looking glass cow bottle! Saw that the brand was herevin and checked out their website, lots of cute stuff! Unfortunately this seems to be turkey manufacturer, maybe i should go back to JB shop to look for them..
  9. The cabinet without glass will probably collect lots of dust, will require quite a lot of cleaning regularly
  10. Today Have engaged contractor to apply and hack the toilet door, wonder how fast it can happen..
  11. HIPS contractor chasing to start Reno but I need to hack a door in the toilet, met up with 1st contractor to try to get it done ASAP! Contractor says 10days to get approval! Running out of time!
  12. I bought the same blinds from Qoo10, can I know whether it's good? Also love your kitchen bi-fold door, am assuming it's from ur ID? Do you know what's the price?
  13. And the one place that i like the most (view from building)
  14. And here's the place that i like the least (and which is giving me the worst headache) The crazily small toilet
  15. More "before" pics that i took this evening! Living room (which will be converted to parent's bedroom on 1st floor): Dining room pic:
  16. Been cracking my head about what to put where.. Finally think I have gotten most of stuff planned out to show to ID/contractors for quotation! Next step is to find a few targets!
  17. Thanks! Gotta go to window shopping then! How about Black Friday sales, should go shopping then?
  18. Thanks for the quick feedback! Unfortunately the toilet is really tiny! Even shower curtain will have problem AND going to be used by my parents, don't think they will be bothered to pull the curtain. Maybe I need to put the sink outside the toilet and create an area for it..
  19. Wow, this thread just keeps on going and going! Just received a email from renotalk about Singapore electronics Show and i read also that black friday is coming in Nov.. are these sales good to buy from as i am now starting reno and need to buy tons of stuff? S'pore expo very far from my house, need to make sure it's good before making the long trip down!
