    Cool! How much did the hacking cost? You also seem to have kinda possibility of a dry area outside the bathroom!

    My layout is different such that the storeroom is between the kitchen and bedroom. I also feel the kitchen is oversized. 

    My idea is to hack away the storeroom to make the living room larger, while setting the kitchen back to enlarge the living room.

    What do you think?

    Its a great idea, I also hack to make the kitchen smaller to achieve a bigger living room.

    However note that hack and re partition will add costing

    Hi taufeek

    I have a similar 3 room layout as yours, except that my storeroom is in the centre of both bedrooms. Was, in fact, as I have hacked away the storeroom wall to make my main bedroom bigger.

    My bathroom is equally tiny so I can understand how you feel. You can erect a partition wall and extend the main bedroom toilet by a bit like the picture below.

    Great idea.

    My bathroom was also smaller but I did not do this extension during that time

    Wow! Looks like completion is in sight aldy. Your wardrobe look like it has alot of drawers, did ur ID charge extra for it?

    Can't wait for mine to get to carpentry stage.

    It was stated previously at the start the number of drawers we needed and etc thus I think the cost is inclusive.

    Mostly the renovation will be completed by this week but I expect I will be able to spot quite a few defects which need to be done thus I think next week for full completion.

    After 1 week of work, Electrician work is mostly done but there are some delays of the carpentry due to wrong measurement and my personal feel of not enough carpenters working on my hse :( :( :(

    Below are some pictures of the carpentry work taken on Wednesday.

    The vanity table (2nd Pic)  was made wrongly and block by the pole, Joshua (ID) told me they will remake and install on coming Monday.

    The small loft skeleton is also done but I did not take any pictures as the workers were working on it.

    We decided to go without a sofa but surprisingly both our mums seems to like our beanbags! :wub: We thought the older generation would prefer seeing a sofa in the living room haha.

     

    The beanbags look so comfy !!! 

    Just to check where did you purchase the bean bag and how much dies it cost ??

    After day 1 (26/9/17). Hacking and disposal of kitchen and yard tiles completed. Wardrobes for all 4 rooms and kitchen cabinets all dismantled and disposed. Cant seem to load photos. Not sure if its bcos i reached my limit. Will talk thru the hiccups i faced instead.

    Kitchen wall tiles were not tiled up by developer behind the cabinets. Not an issue since most will be covered by new cabinets.....except for above fridge. We didnt want a small cabinet above fridge but now all i see is bare n rough cement. Keeping options open on this. 

    Demolition workers damaged the kitchen door frame abit...3 deep chips / dents can be seen....looks easy to rectify with putty b4 painting work

    Mastertoilet will have plenty of holes where the old shower screen once was. After hacking away the kerb today and maybe tiles at shower area, the wall tiles might be in a worse situation.....keeping options open on this too

    Common toilet some tiles were damaged when the workers removed a steel frame with 6 hooks. The current wall tiles suck....its those matt type without any protection glaze...so easy to scratch n stain, rust spots r immposible to remove. No budget to do up everythg. Hope i wont regret not doing up all 3 toilets entirely.....need to leave with these crab tiles for another 6 to 8 yrs. I might actually choose to paint it to cover up the sratch n rust spots since the tile actually looks like white paint. Not entirely sure on what to do here.

    Bedroom 2 when the workers were dismantling the wardrobe, the top partition board came off as well because it was not supported by anythg. Initially ID suggested doing full height like my masterbedroom. But we wanted to install a elmark NMD39 fan there so looks like have to board this back up.

    Went into this reno expecting hiccups...there are defintitely more than expected on day 1...but so far so gd. There seems to be an easy solution for all probs faced. Quite pleased with ID too....he stayed for most of yesterday ......if not i think there would definitely be more damages. Demolition workers are abit like piranhas except with hands.....whatever they can grab a hold of they will just destroy. Fast workers yes......careful workers not. I was there for about 1 hour....witnessed 2 of them take apart the kitchen cabinet while another disposed it while another laid protective pvc n cardboard on floor n door. When i left the kitchen was aldy empty. 

     

    Good luck on the renovation.

    Seems that you have quite an experience based on your proposed solution for the issues. :good:

    As the old drying rack on the ceiling has been removed, I installed a foldaway drying rack in the kitchen. This drying rack has a total length 3.6m of hanging line.

    Do take note that kitchen windows have been changed to Bestview windows with invisible grille to bring in more sunlight.

    May I ask how much did you buy this drying rack and where did you get it ??

    Hello,

    contractor applying for hdb reno permit. He requested for us to have our IC address changed to the new apartment. He said requirement by HDB.  Please advise if this is required by HDB for themto issue the permit.

     

    thanks

    I don remember clearly on this but I think I changed my IC address after I move into my new house.

    (Hope this helps)

    Sorry for the delay as I was busy with work last few days.

    Went up to the house and saw that the false ceiling is done, lights install for some areas and cover up of the open cabinet above kitchen is done.

     

    Sealing and cover the open cabinets above the kitchen.

    The reason is cause they are too tall and I don want them gathering dust.
