Our biggest dream have come true.

We finally have our own little abode after months of searching for a place that fits us and sourcing for contractors.

Not forgetting the many trips to HDB since we are first time buyers who are not engaging an agent.

So here we are, making our dreams come true.

And this will be our little diary to store our memories.

Home is where the heart is.

Thanks!

Cant wait for the tiling and electrician to start coming in next week.

From the hdb web, it has not undergone the HIP upgrading and also didn't see it in the plan.

Hacking has finally completed.

E said that tilers can only come in on Mon.

We'll be meeting J&E on Sunday to finalise our carpentry, tiles placement & electrical stuff.

Cant wait!

Its Thursday already...

This week gonna come to an end.

However works seem to have slowed down

And my worry bells are ticking.

Yesterday electrcian went in to remove the existing wiring. Not sure if they run new ones already.

Asked E for progress updates yesterday but only got his msg today and that only waterproofing was done and that tiling work will take a week (which means end of next week). Kind of not on schedule.

Wondering if its cus they arranged for the tilers to do other projects first.

Hopefully they can catchup since we finalised our carpentry last weekend with them so that they can have it built and put up immediately once tiling & flooring is done. Keeping fingers crossed but cant help worrying.

If anyone is with J&E, so they normally not reply whatsapp and only respond more to calls. They will only reply when they need to ask stuff or need info from us.

These are our tiles from hafary and cant wait to see them on our floors & toilets soon.

Are you having any partition between the kitchen and the living area (can see that there is a short wall on the left)?

Hope it goes well!
