me also have a idea of bring MBR door abit forward so can connect to the beside room . is it the same as you are thinking too .

A other idea is making a connecting door in between MBR and the bedroom 2

Which idea is better ?

so dun need hack and if want to convert back to children room also can. headache small area must crack my brain to see where to make full use of the space .

Actually lady , how much you all budget for a 85-90 area size for your reno ? 20K - 30K ?

hubby also said that no hurry to source anything yet until we see the unit. Because very hard to tell using the floor plan. just like the unit we viewed at 25A #19, didn't know is only 90sqm.

we also want to move in fast but would be next june / oct . if neigbhouring so quiet, also dare not to move in cos' is quiet.

the SERS pple have up to 4 months to vacate their old flats, so for blk 25a, most prob would be almost completely filled up by this year end liaox...

for blk 26, most prob by Apr 08 for the entire SERS batch to move in... :sport-smiley-003:

i'm deciding btn Serta & Sealy... what is the size of your mattress? got a long bench as a freebie as well? :help:

mine a KING. when i was shopping for the mattress, had no intention to purchase. But the seller was trying very hard to put me comitte, so i made a casual comment that the bed bench (it was display together with the divan) was nice, too bad it not throw in FOC. Then he throw in the bench to entice me to buy the mattress.

Too bad I am sucker for good deal :sport-smiley-003:

guess mine should be <15k as we don't do much carpentary & renov work. Simple & cosy.

BTW these pictures were taken from a 4 room unit in Blk 25A. BTW I have removed the first picture as I din realised that the unit no. was displayed. The owner was kind enough to let me roamed around his place. So I shouldn't 'advertise' his unit no.

hahaha.. dunno if the owner was notified by his contractor..inside the lift wrote on all sides "showroom : unit-number" 8| ... n they put a big yellow & red banner at the window.. wrote "欢迎光临"8|! is very prominent once look up frm the street.. hahahaa... ;)

Looking at the rate of the construction, I think we should be able to get the keys at the end of this year. If ur customary is Jan 08 then I think you should start looking for reno quotation and some furniture... good to start looking around to compare prices... once get keys can start reno liao... :)

Yup ! It's is 99% that we can get the keys by Q4 2007. Many of my frds who already got their new flats and ID mentioned that we are very very very likely to get the keys in Nov.

ID design work - Takes 2 to 3 weeks.

Renovation - Takes 4 to 6 weeks

Move in - Time taken unknown cause U need to look for auspicious date to move in.

SO ! Plan earlier cause a rush work will not be a good work.

3 Cheers,

Cindy
