visit by all means...

actually... no matter u rush or dont rush them, the product is still horrible... i didnt rush the HDB sales person, and got my keys almost near 6 mths, and still the condition is horrible...

think their rationale is: watever can hide, hide.. watever cannot hide, pray (and hope the owners will not spot)...

btw, i visited my unit today after work.. found that there's water leaking at the service balcony door... we called the contractor immediately... luckily his worker is nearby and took a look... said he's gg to get the plumber to look at it tml...

my toilet accessories, hob and hood are gg to be delivered this sat ard noon. hope the rectifications can settle fast...

one happy thing is that when i visited the unit in the evening.. i've confirmed that there's no evening sun.... yippee..:notti: dun have to return to a sauna-like home... saw tat the evening sun is on the other side of the blk...

Wah u so fast wan to install hood n hob ah? For ur info, HDB will rectify ur defects if it is still in original shape. If u install hood or hob they can claim ur contractors make the defects. So it is advisable to install later. I also delay my hood and hob delivery, wait until HDB clear my defects first.

I'm waiting for hdb to fix the defects also. toilet bowl leakage already fixed. bi-fold door of bathrm1 replaced, but created another defect - tile skirting chipped off. vanity top chipped off at corner. balcony and svc balcony doors to be replaced, hdb already dismantled the doors yesterday.

not sure if there's other defect I over looked. anyway, reno started liao, can't report defect anymore.

Aiya HDB contractors are like this. They always messed up things. I last Sat went down to my house and was very frustrated that they got the colour of my toilet floor tile wrongly. In the end, I call the supervisor and screw him up to hack away the wrong floor tile and replace with my desired color. I also call HDB officer to complain. By the way what happens to ur bedroom doors that they replaced a new one for u?

they replaced all bedroom doors.. 4 of them in total.. cos the doors are very old and are all chipped/cracked etc.. my ID actually pointed it out to me... cos as a 1st timer.. i didnt noticed it..

updates:

my aircon piping done... and the wiring for the lights all done.. think the next thing will be the false ceiling...
