CONGRATS to all neighbours who are collecting keys. You must be feeling elated.

Do listen carefully to the HDB officer when she explaines to you & be not afraid to ask any questions to clear ur doubts.

One most common qns - can we hack our kitchen floor. The answer is YES. If u are not convince, remember to clarify.

Another point, we need not follow the HDB window grills design as we don't have foyer. Again you might want to clarify with the HDB officer.

Cheers !

Yeah, my turn now. I will be collecting my keys on Feb 14 morning. A good valentine present for us !! Managed to get hold of my OIC yesterday and today I got to see a collection date liao

BTW, for those who have installed 2 air-con compressors, did you fill in the form and apply for approval to install a second compressor from HDB? My HB checked with HDB and the officer said that there is a need to apply for installation of the second compressor else they have the right to ask you to remove it. So something to take note here.

To all who getting their keys soon...

Quickly go and apply for cement screening if you want to do laminate or parquet flooring. The queue very long, have to wait at least 1 mth to get it done.

Think I was quite heng, cos applied last Tues and they cement screed my house this Wed. They say managed to squeeze us as the last hse before CNY starts.

I dumb dumb gave them my house and gate keys. !! So have to change all locks after the reno liao.

Hi all,

long time no post liao.. I also got my HLE.. going to submit today.

yeah!!! wah liana79B, thanks for the tip.. will take note.

time to complete the neighbourhood of blk 79!!!!!

Hi alister,

Thanks for the info.. But i do encountered some HDB officer blur one, asked them question they also dunno how to answer.. Anyway will ask them anyway when my turn to collect keys.. !!

Hey thanks for the nice comments! But do note that there is some distortion in the photo...it's just a plain textured wall behind the feature, but the picture shows as if there are interesting swirling designs! The water feature is bought off the shelve. Wanted to have a built in one initially, but then realised that there are a lot of restrictions from HDB and also concerns about water leakages. I think the price is quite reasonable, less than $300 if I remember correctly...but looking for the one that we really like took a loooooong time!

Hi gadgetman,

somewhere in this thread stated that you have a extended room? Will it be possible to show me a picture where is the extended room that was built.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Congrats to all 79ers collecting keys soon!! Exciting moment

Arrange your appointment timeslot early and go HDB Hub even earlier. The fire insurance counter opens at 8am, if I remember correctly. Then quickly go get the Q no. Then u can get ur keys really fast.

My appointment was 9.30 but I went in at 8.30! Hehe.. kiasu is a good thing sometimes

Hi Redwyrm,

Gadgetman is showing his extended room as his avatar now.

We from Blk A also can do this if we want. It is the space in the hall at the aircon ledge.

So which ID have you short listed so far?

Hi Redwyrm,

Photo updated as requested. It is not really an extended room. My 3 bedrooms are still intact. The additional room is located at the living room and is constructed with mainly glass. it is currently designated as playroom for my son, but can be transformed to a video projection room, gaming room, study room or even Mahjong room in the future!
