i change my whole lock at $10. i purchase the lock and change it. but the size must measure la before buying

but $20 seems like a good price too.

i like the divider concept. nice.

your room view of the greenery is so soothing.

hmm, at the moment the Owner still has a key to the letterbox coz they are still in a midst of updating the address to all the bodies.

yea, the divider ;) i like that too. We can display our photos on the 'headboard'.

We tried opening all windows and off the aircon, woo....! Windy! not those kind of wind that would mess up your hair... A gentle breeze in the house... tat's what we like :) and the house looks brighter with them open too

good la. can save on elect bills as u do not need to turn on air con so often. somemore, elect tariffs going up in july wor. keke.

Hi dyleen, just happen to see your question. You can always call your town council for the "Handyman Services", which they quote a standard price of $21.40 (with GST). They will get the "handyman" to replace your letter box lock.

I got mine changed a few months back through my town council website, so you need to check which town council your flat belongs to and call them up. Click HERE to check the website address. :)

hello skyblue

thanks for the help.

will check with town council in sengkang.

initially we thought of buy and change ourselves.

but 21.40 is also reasonable.

Will let hb know.

Nice! Hope to see more pics when you move in. Can go your house take a look when it's ready? :P

most welcome, Marcussy :yamseng: It would be after the hungry ghost festival

Oh u guys only moving in after hungry ghost? We r trying to move in b4, i.e by 19 Aug.

initial plan was to move in before the hungry ghost festival, which is why we requested to collect the keys earlier than the 2nd appointment. But now... we have to wait after the 100days before moving in.

why 100 days?

Im getting my keys next week. so next week then can we start the reno.

ID say can in time b4 hungry ghost. we're keeping our fingers crossed cos we doing a revamp.

you're lucky to get your 2nd appt earli. Our seller die die also don't want.

Both seller & I want to move fast but HDB is slow :( but still have time, should b just nice to move in before 20 Aug.

Ya what is the 100day thing all about?

mm usually if there's a "passing" in the family, then cannot move within 100 days, cannot visit other people's homes... read page 3 to see?

well well... nothing much to update you guys....

Need some suggestion here... my tv would be against this small wall

ZAC_3707.jpg

Do you think i should do feature wall or buy a console? Price is not a concern, juz tat i worry it will not blend into the rest of the reno.

Oh ya, fyi, there'll be a BIG fish tank on the right :wacko:

It really depends on what are the other reno that you are doing. I think given the space constraint, maybe put a console better, else feature wall may make it look even smaller?

maybe console with some decals...

but i realise there's some grooves on the wall, might be hard to stick the decals on the whole wall...
