STARTS TOMORROW!!!!

Yea!!! Finally. Did a walkthrough with Ah Soon yesterday. He recommend that we change the sewage pipe to PBC type. Other IDs have told me that this is HDB area that contractor cannot touch. I doubt it is true because there are others who have approached me about changing pipe before. Any experience?

I would love to post picture, but the temporary server is quite slow. May take a while!

Praying hard that things will turn out fine.

MmM I've seen people change it too. If Ah Soon suggests it then I think it's safe. Sometimes I ask for some things to be done he insist cannot cos against regulation. He wun do anything that will risk things.

It could be that the workers that those IDs hire... refuse to do such work. So they tell you cannot do.

James,

Can change. Don't worry. if your current pipes are the cast iron kind, it is better to change to PVC. Cos cast iron pipe will rust and starts leaking.

and yahoooo yours is starting work mine will probably start nearer end april. I can help you supervise leh!!! cos everyday I am at Blk 347! hahha

Fannie, this is the owner who got the same layout as mine and staying in the block in front of ours.

Ivy, did you notice a antenna pipe that runs in the middle of the living room. I'm having problem as the pipe is not the place that I want my feature wall to be at. Will post picture tonight. Any ideas how to hide the pipe?

BTW, remember the wood-look-alike tiles which I said I will be using. We have decided against it after putting the tiles under stress test and found that the tile will look dull and dirty after sometime (even after washing), and it is prone to scratches and stains.

You might want to reconsider using it.....

I bought this hobz, hood, sink and tap package. I check with other shops and confirm that this is cheapest. I heard that the owner will increase the price to 799 but I think it is still good price. PM me for contact.
