how about kitchen door? anyone have better suggestion than having an open "swing" door? possible to do a sliding door ? how about the switch & SCV cable there... any suggestion? care sharing.

so, you fix the height to convenient your wife, good lei... but my hubby very tall, so i

o ya. i find it quite useful actually after few visits of the showflats. me too prefer to have a corner for washing area. and perhaps a small area for doggy poo & pee.. thanks for the pix. small kitchen is for those who doesn't cook often. I have checked with hubby, and likely he would cook always if possible (if have a home of our own), even now staying with in-laws, he do cooks occassionally. btw, anyone buying those old fashion "wok"?

gadgetgal, actually, we did discussed over the weekends on the cabinets color and beige was what hubby wants but still have to conclude by US instead of HIM alone. haha !! retractable one - for hanging clothing purposes. we find it useful actually rather than the old style, bamboo pole. anyway, kitchen is not meant to hang cloths. think of it this way, you can't use the bamboo pole cos' the outside ones do not have the pole holes. so, you will be hanging the poles up there always even when you cook.... my opinion only ... Side track: is there a form to list down the defects? so, when will HDB rectify the defects list? how about the main door or gate?

Defect list? are we suppose to submit within a week upon keys collection? cos' i spoke to my officer, she said better is before renov cos' still have 1 year to report..

can't help on the cabinet as we havn't decide yet. But will keep the hanging retractable one. as for the oven, we will opt for portable one. As thinking of long term maintenance/ cleaning part issue, i abit worry. currently, we are using a portable one at in-laws place and not really use that EXCEPT for christmas, function. xlan, thanks for you pix & was thinking along that design too. But was worried that space problem. when pulling the retractable and hang clothings, worry will hit behind the sink there... then jia la

you doing parquet for your whole house? i guess, we will still do the shower screen (sliding ones) as the "swing" type like space limited. Existing in-laws toilet also using sliding one but still wet when users came out after bath. i guess, i will use both the sliding screen. i'm more headache of the kitchen layout & MBR layout. Anyone out there can show your kitchen & MBR layout here?

i thought you didn't sign with uHome?

great! welcome

im at #142, you?

u already confirmed? perhaps xlan choice & yours is different...

Suggest that you park some fund from CPF to shortterm investment. Once over, you might want to transfer back to CPF. We are doing that too.

Sure, if you have received the letter from HDB to collect keys, you will notice the clause b (things to bring) to get a copy of the insurance that you invest from CPF before Apr 07. It means that if you did buy an insurance using CPF before Apr 07, HDB will not deduct / wipe all of your CPF in your account. Reason, you need the money to be deduct for you insurance. Understand?

Just called my officer on the period to submit for the defects. She mentioned once gotten keys or before renov start. Also, liability is 1 yr but if renov start & complain about drainage prob then hdb will handle differently. so, i guess is not within 1 week that we need to submit for defects. Did any of you saw the clause b to submit copy of insurance thru' cpf investment? Did you? She mentioned if before the time slot, hdb will not wipe out all cpf $$ from you.

Has the status changed? like "HDB will contact you to collect keys soon"? IF yes, chase & tell them that urgent. IF No, you might want to wait till your HLE expired, and reapplied. For mine, i was told to fax them instead of reapplying thru' online again. You have to check your credit dept officer.

hi Zlia, you need to call CREDIT DEPT and not your customer service office Mr Quek, i guess Mr Quek is from SALES DEPT. Call CREDIT in the morning. And like i said times, for my case, CREDIT dept do not allow for extending the HLE. Not sure about you.

good lor... and you still around here? today collect keys? congrats to you! Finally!!! just checked the status.. collecting on 27 Dec !! Yahooooooooo!!

also, hubby now starting to draw the layout of our floorplan & design where he wants our kitchen & MBR layout. Yeah... so likely will engage a contractor to do our job. But still will arrange to meet up with the ID first. who knows...

what's your status? if "hdb will contact you to collect keys" , then you should call & chase them and tell them is urgent else, they will dilly dally one. also, my status to delay the keys to dec, officer said will get back to me within 2 days. i will contact them again if didn't receive any news from them. you must really push them

so, what do you have in mind? can share estimated cost for your renov? thanks in advance.

i got your quote (1st quote), thanks. seems within our budget lei.

not an issue. thanks can you email me your ID's contact? thanks
