Hey nemofc, i dun understand, tot JM is NEW FLATS. Think e 'inspector' never audit at all. Worse Than Those Old Left Over Flats. So hows e rectification, cleaning etc.? Mus complain til they replace or give u new 'items'. Such matter, if publicize in papers & make known to higher authority,... haha, dun play play Side-track abit, mayb u can sent your 'disgusting pix' to STOMP, who noes JM property value may goes up.

Hey Liana79B, blk B #XX-17, #XX-19, >#14-25, >#14-27 & blk D #XX-45, #XX-47, >#14-53, >#14-55 r typical unit with same layout plan, only difference is mirror image here & there. If i'm not wrong <#12-25, 27, 53 & 55 there is a Thick Column protruding out, along e outermost wall of MBR. >#12 e outermost wall is flat. All units in 79 #38 -#40, there r some difference in e bedrms windows, units at #11 e ceiling is much higher. u can refer to your brochure, if u stil have it.

OIC... Hey, wats e brand of e Pure White Homogeneous Tiles? Price per foot run? Wher u got it frm?

Hey, everything u mentioned, all have.

Hey neighbours, so dusty huh? Tot e wind at high flr suppose 2 blow away e dust, not bring e dust here Pardon mi, if its repeated qns, cos i read til blur Its regarding e Instant Heater (free frm Citygas) & Electric Storage Heater (Ariston or Jovan brand which can b bought in e market). Can any1 explain more in depth? Also, for those who change their sanitary fittings & internal doors. Wat do u do 2 dis new hdb items? Dat day i saw some discarded doors & fittings at e lift lobby, which are stil in new & good condition

Hey Happy, so many defects hur? Mi gota copy yor list dn. e stickers r pasted by china lady/man. Dat day i saw they tear away others, then paste theirs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey ebing, izit? like dat seems like mine olso wil hav dis gas pipe runnin, above e main door, frm e m&e services duct to e kitchen. M thinkin of do away e false ceiling at entrance foyer, now gota do liao. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey shivan, its like dat 1. e dimension we hav on e floor plan is measured frm structural to stuctural, whereas, on site, e actual measurement 1 measure is frm finishes to finshes. Structural- reinforce concrete / hollow blockwall / brickwall etc in its raw state. Finishes - wall with plastering (10-20mm norm) / with wall tiles (aprox 6-8mm) or painting. Floor cement screeding. Unlike precast wall / slab. But precast elements sound more hollow & got grooves lines. Abt e toilet, i notice dat for e 75sqm unit, e common toilet's shower area is 'being eaten up' by e 'box-up of sanitary soilwaste pipe'. Bigger size ppl if install shower screen there, think mayb not enough space 2 bath (90sqm unit, e box-up is outside e toilet, can see frm e window at e aircon ledge) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey gadgetman, CONGRATULATIONS Btw, got hse-warming anot

Hey waileong, jus read yor blog. i would say its very well written. Unfornately, yet 2 complete It serve as a very useful info 4 those who noe nuts abt reno matters & wat our SG IDs & contractors r all abt. i think, it would b good 2 pin-up, make it sticky, make it a 'orientation & introduction to renovation in SG' 'must read' for newbie who jus join e renotalk forum (like mi. )

Hey h4happy, on e pix u'v taken, e top cabinet door, e white glossy laminate surface seems wavy? Can tel frm e reflection of e round ceilin lite on e laminate surface & e frosted glass.

Hey binzz, e feature wall is cumin up liao. Lookin 4ward e completion. Can u take a zoom-in pix of e side of e capentry? Dat means can see e thickness of e plywood b4 edge-trimming? And olso e joint between e capentry & e wall/tile. Jus curious. Its ok if canot Cheers

Hey toonism, no wonder e shoe cabinet is so x. & e bear-bear hor - e false ceiling at e passageway, e 2 sides goin 2 b touched-up later on? - e bedrm set is m thinkin of gettin 1 4 my mum. How much izit? i like e curtain. Its call roller-blind? - Wat r e works needed 2 instal e blind (drillin, screws etc)? - Wat r e available colors, width, length? - Wher can i get more info? - Wher got good lobang? Thks. Btw, can i sit outside e kitchen & watch e chef perform

Hey alister, THKS 4 lettin mi kpo yor hm 2day. Review : - toilet 'spray paintin' is special (1st time see, haha); - aircon trunkin in e toilet is neat ( s u'v said, mayb others may not b able 2 do e same due 2 flr ht & recessed lighting). - false ceiling - dats wat i'm gona do but dunoe mine can b done anot, due 2 flr ht constrain - carpentry, misc, touch-up (outstanding, so cant comment much) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any kakis here ur unit is at e high flr bak rite corner of E? PM mi if hav, i wana kpo, can ? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- e other day, while i was kpoin at 1 unit renoved by a branded ID. Jus happen, e microwave oven is not workin. While i 'admire' e completed reno, e owner wait 4 e ID's electrician 2 cum & rectify e probm. Wen e guy came, i help him 2 carry e microwave oven out frm e kitchen shelve & put it on e flr. While takin e microwave oven out, at e top front of e oven, i saw some wires with bare copper exposed, while e other end of e wire is attached 2 e socket & plugged on e wall socket outlet. Also, there r 'some sawdust' beneath e shelve & oven. I dunoe how 2 describe my tots at dat moment e so call 'polished homo tiles' olso not shiny & e groutin/jointin Anyway, PM mi if whoever wana noe its which unit & which ID. Sorie, owner. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2day, while at blk C, saw some workers deliverin a queen/king size mattress. Out of kindness, i press lift button for them, actually i wana see how they gona load e mattress. Wat i saw, aiyo, they load it diagonally in2 e lift, than bend it at e centre part, forcing it 2 go in2 e lift so dat e lift dr can b cloze. B4 e lift cums, i had asked them how they gona load it. They say its like dat 1 loh, e older hdb's lift even worse, s its smaller. Anyway, wat 2 do, jus for your general information. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Btw, fellow neighbors, for those of u who r not getting ID but getting contractor instead, can check out e unit diagonally opp. alister's unit. (any1's here ? sorie alister, never promo yor unit, ) i jus saw e workmanship of e floor tiling etc. i'm very satisfied but yet 2 see e carpentry (gona b up by dis wkend, mi gona check it out again). In fact, base on my personal standard, i find its better than e branded ID's. Pricing wise, its abt $16k (average, not 2 xpensive or 2 cheap) for dat unit's type of renov. Also, i'v checked e co's background, it had been in e market for >15yrs, hdb licensed contractor. So guys & gals, can go check it out if u r interested. And if end of e day, u wana sign with them, remember 2 say i intro 1. Then can get better bargain 4 u & 4 mi. Think 7-10 units is being renov by them now.

Hi neighbours, below is e link to hdbinfoweb website. It contains renovation guildlines of hdb flat, fyi & necessary actions -> HDB Flat General Renovation Guidelines HDB Flat Electrical Renovation Guidelines below is e link to check whether e ID/contractor is registered with hdb -> Listing Of Registered Renovation Contractors below is e link to RADAC website -> RADAC below is e link to hdb virtual showflats -> HDB virtual showflats

Hey jule, nice renov u hav there. Lookin 4ward more pix !! Hey rapunzel, saw ur blog. Is dat a new bathtub u had jus installed? - Wat is e size of e bathtub? HDB flat MBR toilet can fit? - Wat r e works needed for e bathtub? - Wat r e cost incur for installing e bathtub? - Wher can i get more info abt bathtubs & its installation? Mi olso tot of installin 1. But most ID say canot. Due 2 space constrain, future possible probms etc lei. Thks.

Hey meepok. i jus taken my supper. Dis batch of flats of ours, basically, 4rm cums with non-slip ceramic floor tiles, glazed wall tiles for kitchen & bathrms. Whereas, 5rm dun cum with floor tiles for kitchen. Toilets tiles canot hack, can overlay. Simply bcos, hdb oleady done e waterproofing 4 us, once hack, e waterproofing membrane will b punctured. The elect wiring & water piping & gas piping r done-up, concealed in e walls. xposed r e connecting pts. Sanitary fittings, basic taps & shower nozels r olso provided. Wen renov, jus need 2 xtend e pipings & wiring outlet pts 2 their new locations. Checkin of HOLLOW WALL TILES, think is better 2 use e tip of e middle-finger to tap or knuckler to knock. Hear the different in sound. SERS & BALLOTING EXERCISE, e main difference every1 noe is PURCHASE PRICE !! SERS can opt 2 do without e bedrms doors. BE no option, pay more, so get more loh. !! Btw, SGD20k renov, s mentioned, can b done. But it wil only b e basic simple renov, without e L-box/false ceilings, feature walls, customiz furnitures/fixtures, long kitchen cabinets, long built-in-wardrodes. On top of that, u gotta hav excess of mayb SGD10k for ready-made furnitures, elect appliances, lightings, decoratives... Look 4ward ur updates, esp e 'DOOR OPENING CEREMONY' part. Wana learn olso.

Hey, think u better let yor ID noe abt dis THICK FLOOR THINGY. Show ur ID/contractor e pix, check with him dat pcs izit frm the DOOR ENTRANCE KERB? Think e FINISHED FLOORING (CEMENT SCREED & FLOOR TILE) SHOULD NOT BE MORE THAN 50mm. It is stated in one of e hdb renovation guildlines. Additional floor thickness will add DEAD LOAD to e floor slab. Structurally, it is not allowed. Refer to here -> HDB Flat Renovation Guidelines Think if it is found so, THE CONTRACTOR'S LICENSE WILL BE SUSPENDED. Look 4ward ur updates.

Renotalk is bak 2 business again Aiyo, sounds bad lei. Thieves Think frm now on WE HAVE TO BE REALLY VERY EXTRA KIASU, TAKE MORE PRECAUTIONS, BE SAFE THAN SORIE. Think we olso try not 2 mention 2 much in e forum (such as wat is yor unit no., wen u will not b at yor unit, wat u had bought etc). Who noes thieves can use e forum s a platform for such info As time goes by, more & more neighbors join renotalk. It had olso been quite sometime since e las meet-up. Y dun we organiz a mini gatherin/tour 4 us neighbors 2b? We gather, self-intro, get 2 noe future neighbors, xchange ph. nos., tour 'show flats' (tour-guide is e owner of e respective flat) frm blk C dn 2 blk E. Jus my suggestions.

Hey, very nice blog on yor reno. i like yor reno theme. Can post or PM mi e contact of e contractor of yors? Thks.

Hey, thks 4 e itemised lighting cost. e 'xtra' $ u spent is for buying 'learning materials' for neighbours like me, who havnt shop 4 lightings yet. Consider it dis way, then yor $$$ is worth spending lah. Buy yor unit no., 24 permutations. Sure kana one of dis day. If u dun b.leaf, check out e passed recent 4D results. If not, buy toto, winnings r higher. My hm dnstr got 1 'bangala' cleaner won & now he king at hmland. Btw, guys & gals, i'm not a soccer fan. Canot join in yor cheering & jeering.

Haha, i like yor last sentence Oh yah hor, TPY North got 1 'chichar' stall, 'kolowyok' or porkrips dish beli famous 1. (paisey, dunoe how 2 spell). Haha, stil got kim keat market lei. Btw, e fried hokkien mee at blk 75 everytime long Q 1. Think there's 1 'turtle' soup or wat 'fish' stall behind 79, olways olso crowded.

Hey, so detail. i wonder how u manage 2 take note of e stall name, addy & busines hrs. oh u 4got 2 include e tel no. Hey gadgetman, so u e 1 eating popiah at lor 7 think dey mentioned abt franchise. Mayb we can consider franchise it & set up at our very own 79 foodcourt dnstairs. Wat u think
