  6. Hi. We took a bank loan and the bank have a appointed laywer to assist us on the 2nd appt. We just have to hand over the 5% which is in Cashier's Order to the laywer before the 2nd appt date. On our case the value is 403k and the COV is 7k. We paid 2k during OTP. So we still have a balance of 5K to pay to the seller. We were informed by the lawyers to pay 5% of the purchase price of the house incl of COV. Lawyers pass the cashiers to the HDB and in return HDB pay the balance 5K to the seller on our behalf. Hope this helps.
  7. Okie... we recieived the Unikhome delivery 1 day early. So we accept it since we are in the house. The bedframe ok. As the the TV console drawer seen some mold on the surface of the drawer as its not treated. Same goes to the bottom part of the magazine rack.. also moldy. So we decided to treat the wood. Other than that all still okie.

Pinkpetter Talking about my MBR hor... *boo hooo* one of the window (under the window) when it rains it leak le...

So I see and see check and check and we think the rain water come thru the window lor... and after Sat night's heavy rain it left a patch of water mark on the wall.... heart pain. Hubby buy silicon and so some patch work but have no heavy rain yet to test. I sleep in the MBR for nights liao but not comfortable think I feel scard. Dun know is it the purple ash which we painted (Hubby say if dun like than repaint next time)... sigh and it feels a bit dark at night so when it comes to night time I on the toilet light till morning Than last night I move the smal tv into the MBR room to company me lor.

  20. Blue_Diamond Real happy that manage to get the house in time for our delivery tomorrow Rierie Thanks Our fav part of the house Pinkpetter Ya the very first time with the big brown elephant aka Big Big TV console in the living room. Now can even hold party in the house and put catering in the dinning area too Hahahah:P Yes the L-Pipe is still a bit slant... Dun think can shorten the pipe liao cause they already cut away 1 inch and besides the basin bracket dun hold the basin (baron) quite well so thats why the weight of the basin also fall a bit on the pipe. We ask Uncle liao he have secure the basin alot liao and he say will not fall off. If can find better bracket to secure the basin than will help a bit but the bracket come with the maker of the basin. Uncle say the other way is to cement the basin but not good cause will crack in long term. So he use silicon. Anyway got warrant period if anything happen tell uncle to come back hahaha
  21. Hahaha I also told that to my contractor on some reno thingy and he know I know my stuff too. Moreover my mom used to partner a reno company so know a bit here and there too
  22. Something different le... is this the final product??
  23. Hallway to bedroom - See the parquet floor Our Breakfast Counter Top Our Stonecave thats the paintname "Stonecave" this will be the study room. Hubby love the colour We change the kitchen sink tap Did you see the sink... in built with the counter top. Lots of ID say this is good thing. So we keep and we also no extra cash to redo the kitchen at the mean time Our common bathroom under the sink L-pipe. Never did we expected that Uncle get the plumber to fix it cause at first we are unhappy as its slanting. Happy with Uncle's work Finally, we saw some pple cleaning the place last night and that means we are in time and planning to lock the place today evening. Uncle will touch up, finish the outstanding job today and handover the place to us. Still Uncle did not even ask about payment till I tell Uncle about it LOL So after 26days of reno, I think you readers can gladly hire Uncle for your Reno work... have to be firm somtime to get things done in the way we wanted. I would dare say Uncle Ivan work is got standard one and he assure me that he will handover the house to his customer in good condition.
