haha. i oso wish my rubbish chute was outside. too bad, mine's an old flat where de rubbish chute is within de house. 8|

i was saying luckily my flat dun have tat door cos i'm oso on de top floor :notti:

i think maybe i am the weird one. I prefer to have chute in the house.. cos i find external chute very troublesome whenever we need to throw things.. but of course with the convenience comes the pests lor..

that is a trap door to access the chute, which is usu within the top floor units. HDB/Town council don't use it often. however, on occasions when the chute flushing system is defective, then they may need to access to rectify the flushing system. Thus do think twice about sealing it dead. Maybe should consider hiding instead of sealing.

Just sharing my 2 cents worth.

ya aerogaz easy to bargain...

the bread toaster listed price 19.90, he gave us for 9.90 only

kettle 39.90 we got it for 29

weighing machine no idea but he offered 1 for $10 but we got 2 for $10, LOL

steamer forgot liao....

but but but.... the hob and hood i tot i remembered him quoting us for $699 some time ago but he put $799....

i think overall still good deal considering 2 cooker induction hob + slim hood. induction hob if any other brand already easily $900 and above liao.

Wah then really many bargains liao. Worth it!!! :)

tiling

false ceiling

plastering

aircon trunking

storage heater installed

WC installed

shower accessories install

nv take pics tho. next time then take ba

there were some mistakes in the position of electrical points that will need to be rectified

the air con trunking was horrible inside the common room but after hearing my id explain why... i guess there is not much choice in how we run the trunking....

other than that, everything is going quite well

and we chose laminates for our carpentry already... here are the 3D drawings after laminates were chosen

We do not have anything done on the wall on the bedhead wall of the MBR and there is no granite top on the extension holding the glass for the kitchen.... also MBR will be hanging light instead of false ceiling with downlights

Wah then really many bargains liao. Worth it!!! :)

u mean the extra access to the chute. i nv had that before cos all my life i've never stayed on the highest floor. i know cos I used to work in Town Council :P

like the black and white theme. classy. when it is my turn i am also going to consider black and white, minimally for the kitchen.

wah black kitchen, looks the glossy kind.

Ya graphics will show what the carpentry works will look like but the measurement is not precise since its more or less based on scaling ruler ratio than the actual sizing in reality. :)
