Hi,

I'm going to be your new neighbour! We have just confirmed purchase at the newer flats along Strathmore Ave!

Your reno is looking good!

Cool. Welcome to Strathmore neighbour!

Now slowly I see a Strathmore group forming.

    I felt that you don't really need to care about the theme as long as you renovate/decorate the house according to your likes!

    IMO you should narrow down to a few ID/contractors you would like to work with. They can be base on hear say, renotalk, friends etc. There is no point to mass email IDs and expect them to revert exact

TIME TO REVEAL THE IDENTITY OF MY ID:

My renovation journey has been largely smooth and on schedule largely due to the personality of the ID; For example, whenever there was a hiccup or some upsetting issues (recently the plumber broke a tile in the bathroom while fixing the corner stand; another example the electrician broke a few lights while fixing and some lights I purchased went missing), my ID would not challenge or counter argue. He will simply get to business of solving the problem. I like this attitude of his. It is because of this attitude we went through the renovation journey without getting to blows whenever there was an issue!

Given that my renovation went through like a breeze, I would definitely recommend my ID to anyone who's embarking on a renovation journey. I think it's time to reveal the identity of my ID.

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me take the pleasure of introducing my young and charismatic ID:

Mr. Javerson of Dots N Tots.

And a handsome picture of his:

Me too, yesterday and today. Fortunately the cleaning done by my id's subcon is very thorough. Still, the windows still need wiping ... tiring ...

:help: I NEED HELP!

Just when I was thinking we were almost there in the reno journey..

Our movers have broken something in our King Size Bedframe.. few supporting thingy "i don't what they call" that supports the bolts and nuts to be secured in the bedframe. I tried finding it a few hardware shops, they don't have it. I went to Lorenzo, where the bed was purchased; they tell me it's an old model and don't know if they have it in stock or not!

I am attaching some pics of the same. Can anyone help me find it?

Cool. Welcome to Strathmore neighbour!

Now slowly I see a Strathmore group forming.

Looks like Strathmore is getting busier and busier with new owners doing renovations.

When I started my reno in Sept, there were 2 renovations starting in the same block as mine. One was in 21st floor and another I guess was 11th floor. Yesterday, I noticed a new renovation has started in 12th floor.

Hopefully, we see them joining Renotalk user group and posting their updates. Just curious to know new neighbours and hear from them their experiences.

Any Strathnore community fb or forum we can join? Tot it may be a good platform to share info.

I see a plaque installed in front of Block 49, says it is Former Forfar Heights. Maybe I take picture tomorrow and upload :D

It's still Forfar Heights. Just that it replaces the former "Chap Si Lau" (14 Floor) Forfar heights HDB. Apparently this cluster has a rich history
