It's already mid May and he is still doing his reno. Oh god! I did my reno only end Mar and work finished in Apr and have already moved in 3 days ago.

It's you meh?

Now everywhere screeching sounds - up, down, right, left ... Faintz ...

Blk 421 lift alarm went off a few times today?

One of my old neighbors said her new unit's floor tiles were quite uneven and she has to get BSC to redo them. So another factor to consider for those who just got their keys.

Haha ... I think my neighbor is someone else, not you lah! There are a few guys doing their own reno too in other blocks as well. I would have preferred to do all the reno myself but I don't have the talent, time nor patience.

A huge MBC ship just went by ... what a love sight - for a change!

There will be a casa clementi completion cum mass key handover ceremony on 16 June.

Many of those folks who had yet to collect their keys (mainly Blk 416) will be spared the hassle of travelling down to HDB Hub. Instead, keys will be presented by the PAP MP.

hi Casa neighbours

Anyone did tear down our "beautiful" (common toilets) partition and PD doors?

And what kinda doors did you change to use for the toilet entrance?

Appreciate your reply and suggestions.

TIA

I got rid of the partition but not the PD doors. That's how I want it to be.

It depends on your family needs. It's best to consult every member so that you will know what to do next.

My neighbor dismantled the wash basin as well.

I intend to dismantle the partition. But if dismantled, problems ahead are:

1) the PD doors will be see-through. You certainly do not want any one to look at you showering or doing your business fromservice yard. Need to find ways to conceal it.

2) Need to install another door to the toilet along the walkway. But may be too wide for wooden door.

We did! After several with hubby, we finally decided to :

1. Remove the bi-fold door to service yard and seal up that opening - this will also solve the problem of ppl seeing through from kitchen/svc yard when you are bathing or doing "business"

2. Tear down the partition & PD doors provided by HDB (this retro design reminds me of my grandma's house in Mei Ling Street )

3. Install a bi-fold door at the toilet entrance (bought from Besglas @ IMM - they are so much better than normal bi-fold door as they slide open/close easier. Also they are using top roller without any bottom so you won't see track on the floor).

4. Install glass shower-screen to segregate between dry and wet area.

The advantages of the above design will :

1. allow anyone who uses the toilet to close only 1 door instead of 2

2. allow towel rack or shelves to be wall-mounted on the seal up wall (to the service yard)

3. make the toilet looks bigger (physcologically)

4. prevent our baby girl (whose room is directly opposite the toilet) to climb thru the toilet to service yard

The disadvantages are :

1. cannot shortcut to the kitchen or service yard via the toilet

2. not much wind/air circulation with this seal up of wall to the service yard

3. cannot wash laundry by hand in the common toilet and dry them directly into the service yard

4. cannot play catching by running round and round

Anyway, below is how our common toilet look like in 3D drawing :

Thanks Mummy Ling for sharing your plan. I rem all other new flats in other estates have no access to service yard from common toilet. Casa clementi is the only one with such weird and ugly design.

Guess sealing up the service yard door will not be cheap since need to tile it up. Can share what is the damage to the wallet just for sealing and tiling up this door?

Thanks.
