Any idea if the kitchen walls or floors are tiled already?

hi cacky, from gg to the showflats or basically flats that are doign reno now, kitchen tiles are done. and kitchen walls are half tiled.

:yamseng:

Mr big Orange,

If u r really keen on doing up toilet, just go ahead.. if not u might regret after moving in.. u will be facing it for at least 5 years man!!

If there is a budget constraint, don do feature wall, just buy a stylish n nice console can le(should be cheaper den the customize make feature wall cum console.. combo)... WIW can do if u wanna hack wall.. if not space will be crampy.. might as well do a normal 1.. thats wat i think lo...

For capentry wise, try not to do customize make 1 lo.. cos usually more exp than outside one(IKEA, Vhive, Novena). not those high end one la(milan, mondi and etc).. not sure on these oso.. hehe

Kitchen don need to so nice.. unless u will be hanging there most of time which i don think u r... hehe

just do wat u want to c in yr home.. cos u r living there... :P

for bedrooms. i was thinking of built in wardrobe but was told at least will spend 3k+

piang.. :unsure:

Hi Cacky, both kitchen wall and floor tile is already built in for you when you receive the flat.

I feel that there are a few thing to look at

- flooring - what type

- Kitchen

- Master Room

- Lightings

- Cupboard

Work from there perhap it have help to zero on the planning.

;)

hi herbman76,

i agree with you. what i did was to do up a simple excelsheet and start thinking wat i want to do in each room and slowly start building it from there, otherwise there is simply TOO MUCH things to consider and factor in.

RENO

- Must haves (Needs)..e.g. Flooring, Kitchen Cabinets,Lighting, Wiring,Painting,Grills

- Can haves - False ceiling? Built in wardrobe, shoe cabinet..etc

- Luxuries - Nicer bathroom..haiz..this one like giving up the idea..

hope this helps. :yamseng:

It's funny when you think about it. Coz' HDB doesn't allow us to change windows coz it might affect the outlook/appearance of the buildings. Yet they 'leave it open' for us in the service yard.

If I'm not wrong, there are only certain type of grills we can use that's approved by HDB only. But not sure about the windows of the service yard, though.

Totally agree man!!! At first, when I am looking at my dad's house, I am laughing at him cos he suggested to have windows on the service yard. That is because I tot HDB will not approve that since it has already standadize all the windows to look the same and by approving it, people will start having fanciful looks on the service yard and this defit the purpose of standardizing the rest of the windows.

the problem with the tv socket at the short wall can be easliy solved as explained by one contractor that they will pull the cable and hide the socket point and hide the cable under your new flooring and hook it up to the long wall side lo. but for those who gotten hdb ceramic flooring then i think will have a problem.

Yeah.. the contractor told me before.. but don noe gt charge bo.. even they say don have i oso don believe lo.. haha.. might be hidden somewhere...

I am 5-room. TV point and phone socket is both on the long wall. TV point is near the window and phone socket is in the middle of the hall.

Thank you, Bubbly!!!

Seems like Surbana Internationa Consultants are fond of assuming residents would place their phone in the middle of the 9.5 m wide wall and their TV at a corner! Sheesh!!! Now it's a matter of time to track down the email & telephone number of the architect who designed this layout.

Me no expert lah! Me ish a nOOb fighting a battle with HDB over the issue of design wrongs - It is a long drawn-out uphill solo struggle against a huge corporation, let alone a government statutory board...... Utter frustration is a gross understatement........ :curse: x 1000
