These are confirm 100% Hdb original. My sellers didn't wanna spend money to renovate.

I don't think last time Hdb do up the flat leh. Usually totally empty...... Since you both at same block maybe same contractor??

Wah, your balcony view is very nice.

Hope your reno progress has been good. :good:

Toilets should be done up. Think you pay a bit more can do flooring from hdb.

17/6 - 19/6

Sunday - We met up with our electrician and had a 2.5 hours discussion on site.. and then another 1 hour off site. *I* nearly died considering there was no place to sit and I am allergic to cement dust. The final amount was as expected and still a good price. I think in the MBR, there's about 4x2 empty sockets and *I-lost-count-on-the-network-pts-and-two-way-switches-in-the-whole-house*. As per estimated, the final amount (inclusive of lights) will hit a 5 figure sum.

Monday - Monday was a slow day.. Only could see that the tilers were prepping the house for tiling..

Tuesday - We met up with our contractor again............. *Sigh* Big big miscommunication btwn me, him and the tiler. I took this pic before I started explaining the correct tile laying for the kitchen.. The error was there wasn't enough allowance of space for the tiler to put in the subway tile backsplash. The contractor told him it (subway tiles) would be used as a border. The tiler's eyes nearly popped out when my hubs explained that it should be laid in the 工 way. Can see my tiler wanna kill my contractor liao. =X

Later that night, my hubs went to take pics again.. The tiler has rectified the tiles to what I wanted and did a great job for the little corners that will have these white tiles exposed.

Wow... You got unblock view from both side... Very nice, and night time will be airy and cooling, no need air-con.

By the way, just make sure you don't install your air con compressor or metal grille or anything metal on the side facing the sea. It tend to oxidised faster and rust. This is what happen to my friend's house along marine parade.
