BunBun 5 Report post Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) About this part - I had a similar situation a few weeks after I'd moved in except this time my main door was open, the gate was padlocked and I was in the living room at that time when this old guy came to our main gate and kept trying to open the padlock. Apparently he came a few times before trying to open the padlock under the pre-text that the padlock is no good and that he is selling padlocks, etc that sort when my husband was home (its been 2 years since) I was very surprised and taken aback at this old man's action - an uncle in his 40s-50s. I'd posted something about this before in this forum Thankfully, after that incident, he never came again - I think it's because the neighbours already moved in. But it pays to be very careful ya lor, initally was like banging my head, why we didnt hack it away. Luckily manage to paint it over. BTW remember to lock ur main door even if u are home. Last time when i just shifted in to SK, some1 tried to open my main door when i was home. My husband said maybe ah nai looking for a place to sleep.

gals_mama 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2010 Nearly cant find my t-blog. Thou my reno is completed, i still come in every other day to silent read the t-blogs. We have been staying in the new place for almost 5 months. However, some things are still hanging up there. Eg like the featured tiles in my kitchen have patches on it, dunno is it due to the acid wash or whatever, the meter outside my house still has no cover (broken during the reno), no door stopper (the magnetic type). We have been getting my id to come fix them up but looks like its taking ages. So far only my 'MRT' track on the newly built wall (to cover the old MBR doorway) has since been covered up, the kitchen grilles holes patched and acid wash in my MBR toilet done. I dun think we are asking too much to settle the rectifications, but these are the things we told our id when we shifted in. Not like 4 months later then informed her. The amt of money we pay is our hard earned $$$!!! She also wants us to settle the payment (which is abt $2k) but my husband insist she completes all rectifications then we pay. Imagine if we had settle full payment, will she still come and settle the rectification? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still has water near the bowl area but much better as compared to none. Hi, We are having the almost similar layout and design!! kitchen cabinets, fixed glass panel in toilet, etc! Just to check if it is possible that you post up more photos? Particularly, can you let me know the kitchen wall tile code? Also for your Main Bedroom's bath, the water fr shower is it contained within or it gets sprayed out all over? Thanks alot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok i shall take more pics. I dunno my wall tiles code leh, cos we just went to the Soon Bee Huat (Balestier) and select then tell id on the spot. Its the $3-20 range. U meant the toilet bowl area is it wet? As compared to before we have the glass screen, the bowl will be wet. As for now, the area infront the bowl is damp, not wet. At least the bowl and seat is dry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mae29 2 Report post Posted February 19, 2011 Hi, gals_mama Nice house! For the broken meter, can call HDB Town Council. I had mine replaced recently. It was a coincidence: an officer from SP came to investigate why our utilities bills is low for past months. I asked him about the meter cover, and he said he will call HDB & get them to replace FOC. Within the next day, they came to replace the cover. Nearly cant find my t-blog. Thou my reno is completed, i still come in every other day to silent read the t-blogs.
