Happy searching

Shampoo, soap and towels to bath after all the cleaning?

Touching on Week 3 now. Nothing much that week cos B said that he has engaged their best carpenter to do carpentry work and good things are worth waiting for so gotta queue up as carpenters are busy. Not an issue to us as we are not in a hurry to move in anyway (however, the wait seems to be worth it as my dad actually complimented their work ) Parquet Floor in WIW Platform in MBR I mentioned previously that we made another complain to B in week 3, well, here are the pics illustrating the complaint we made: Week 3 Complaint Main door kana “hui sui” (or the base paint layer), was worried that it may stain the main door and not pleased that the workers did not clean it off immediately MBR platform parquet floor got a pool of water! Not sure whether it was from the rain that evening but was heartbroken on seeing that.. Wrote a nasty email to ID and WTB SMSed him on the same night, got a call and explanation from ID (after his return from their company’s retreat) but Met up with ID and he apologized and reassured us that he will make sure everything swee swee before handover back to us.. Hope no more mishap now!!

Yea... Went to check just now, seems like it costs around 20-40k more for a unit in St 64 now... 2 floors below my unit is now selling at $37k more than what I paid for in the last ballot

Hiya, Like your rect layout, my slanted layout gave me headache initially All the best for your reno!!

Wah.. Got pic to see? Wanna get more ideas how to arrange the furnitures to save space Will be staying tune for your pics !! How did you managed to take the pics? Thanks ya neighbour !! Here’s the 3D Pics as promised. Living Room Kitchen MBR

Hehe.. Show the 2D design first.. Upload the 3D pics over lunch later

Wish you a speedy recovery!

Painted Wall in MBR We made a complaint to B during this week (and also in Week 3) – not sure whether we are too anxious (as first time owners) or too fussy but feel that it is best to reflect our concerns to B so that both parties are clear on what are the expectations of each other Week 2 Complaint We went up after work around 7+pm and found MBR window was not closed by the workers after they left for the day! Cos the floor is parquet and it’s rainy season so we not happy that they forgot to close the window

Just PM you back, seeya on Sat I love glass too... if I have more $$ I'll have hacked another wall and replace with glass divider Hehe.. That means more pics coming from you soon? Ok, the Week 2 pics are ready too!! A short summary on Week 2, nothing much was done except the construction of the false ceiling & walkway wall to MBR and the painters came to apply the base coat of paint. ID (Iet’s call him B) informed that the carpenter is starting on the carpentry work and hence no major reno work will be done this week. Alright, here are the pics for your enjoyment! False Ceiling in Living Room Living Room Walkway to MBR Painted Wall in Living Room View from Living Room Window Painted Wall in Guest Room Painted Wall in Study Room

Love the glass Hope to see the completed design soon

Ask your potential ID to be as creative as possible la WTB initially wanted zen theme too but scare too much wood house will look dark, in the end, choose tainted glass (mirror) and dark colours for feature walls & cabinets so house still dark dark de... Will try and post more pics soon, hehehe... Not sure too... toilet looks neater without those pipes but then find that the toilet is really VERY VERY small, wonder if other neighbours got this complain too?

Hi Shutiao, Sent the draft quote to your email already.. Hmm... So many hacking = need alot of carpentry right? In that case, then it will be very ex!! !! Most IDs make their $$ from carpentry work lo.. You can see from my quote that the main bulk comes from carpentry Will be uploading more pics soon... Today kana arrow by boss to do work... Need to complete before my last day of work

Hiya, another new neighbour BTW, you are in which blk har?

Hacked MBR Wall The aircon piping is not exactly pleasant to the eye, especially the guest room pipes but this layout is the best as assured by my dad, ID and the aircon technician. No choice lo, they have plenty of reno exp The MBR wall is hacked and pushed out so that it flushes with the HHS so that this additional area will become a WIW for my WTB

Here are Week 1 pics for your eye feast. Basically during this week, reno only covers laying of cardboards, electrical wirings, construction of kitchen kerb, pulling of aircon piping and hacking of MBR wall. Cardboards in Living Room Kitchen Kerb Aircon Piping in Guest Room (Ugly) Aircon Piping Outside The 2 Bedrooms Aircon Piping in Study Room Aircon Piping in MBR

Hiya Shutiao, For visualization, I’ve got a map from SLA (hope I won’t be sued) JW St 64 Check your PM, I sent you a copy of my 2D design (it’s a little similar to what others have shared in your blog). For quote, I can send you a draft copy of the quote (we made some changes to the initial quote along the way), PM me your email? Actually I feel that whether you are able to hit it off with the ID is rather important, my WTB has a very good rapport with my ID and thinks that we are able to communicate with him hence, we took the plunge to sign with him – so far so good, hiccups are bound to happen but he’s always around to resolve them when we “complained”, haha.. Hi Harold, No prob, we'll be there on Sat afternoon to night cos we are visiting 2 neighbours' flat too PM me your hp? I'll sms you my address and time we'll be there on Sat.. prob can drop over your place to see see look look too

Hiya neighbour, I'm here to spam too Hope to see your floorplan and more pics on your design, wish u a smooth sailing reno

Haha.. the page will freeze especially when it is loading so usually I'll open a new window and press <Alt>&<Tab> if I hear footsteps Wow, u really did quite alot of homework, so have u decided on your ID and house theme yet? Erm.. U got me there, I never really thought about this before.. My WTB mentioned that could it be those PVC water pipes? We noticed that the toilets do not have these pipes, wonder if they are concealed behind the WC

Was told that if you are only switching on the aircon every night for 6-8hours, then the cost savings from the Inverter system will not be greater than the $1k difference between the 2 system.. If you need more pro advice, I will suggest going down to GainCity outlets for discussion with their technicians, we found them very knowledgeable and not pushy at all when you mentioned that you need to consider further. All queries were answer in detailed
