Hi i know is late to share but in case anyone wants to do a dry or wet toilet is possible. What i did is to remove the toilet bowl in the master toilet and install a shower screen. Yes, we use the toilets only at kitchen as only 2 of us staying in the 3NG. But i didnt seek HDB approval during renovation as "I die die want it"attitude but when i sold the flat we got small issue with HDB. During the last handover inspection the inspector initially insisted that i must reinstall as original. I explain that the sewage pipe we did not seal it, instead we merely cover with the hole with a tile. Also there isnt any rules stipulated that such alteration is illegal. Furthermore, the new owner is so happy with the design and didnt not lodge any complain. So we manage to pass the inspection finally.

Entrance to the kitchen area there is a recess area which took me quite awhile what to do with it. Sourcing high and low for cheap alternatives like fabricate shelving or good & cheap cabinets but couldnt manage to get one. The challenge is that the depth of cabinets must not protrude out as it will block the entrance. The alternative is to get my contractor to custom one but he refused as it will cost me a fair bit. So bor lui went to few places but no luck till i saw this cabinet at Ikea. The best part is the color matched the cheapo breakfast table which is from Ikea too. Here is the photo,

My BTO is a premium flat meaning comes with flooring. You can give Ben a ring and ask for a quote. At this point of time i doubt contractors will response coz rushing for cny. Perhaps u can contact him after cny will be a better timing. I would suggest u do overlay with tiles or laminate wood instead of hacking the entire flooring which cost alot more. Hope this suggestion work out for you. Good luck.

Hi thanks for the kind comment. We are lucky to source for good and cheap contractor for the reno. Most importantly is a responsible one. Yes the capentry is not too bad comes with low end blum system too. For the price, i couldnt complain too much either.

Took me quite awhile to decide whether to install window or roller blinds at service balcony. As I prefer to have full view feel. So decided to source for a good and cheap roller blind. Went to few places and finally found a good quality bamboo blinds shop. Do take note that only real bamboo will not cause mouldy. Real bamboo blind cost 3 to 4 times of the price of those "bamboo" that u find in the market.. Also is adviseable to cover it with plastic backing. There are 2 types of plastic backing - with wire mess and clear plastics type. Wire mess backing is the better choice and is more lasting. Clear plastics will crack after long usage. You can choose to paint the blind with choice of your color too with additional charges. With lady luck i manage to get what i want that is real bamboo blind with wire mess backing and is painted in white at the cost of $300 plus. Usual price of such specification will cost you over a $1000 plus!! I got this good deal due to the previous owner ordered the wrong size without checking the actual dimension. Again luck is with me as my requirement dimension is slightly smaller so the shop guy is willingly to cut it to fit my requirement. Today just got it install and so happy with the quality for the price that i m paying. The dimension is 2.5 m width x 1.5 m length. Here is the pictures

Based On Today Market, Should One Sell Or Rent Out The Condo?
blackie replied to blackie's topic in Rent/Sell Properties
Thank you guys for the pointers!! Seems like rental is the way to go. Planning to get rid of it to purchase another smaller unit. Too bad peoperty not like car, can do an overtrade? I might be wrong -
My buddy got this issues, his flat also right below the water tank area. Almost every 2 years the town council will do the hack and patch. Yes, is FOC but the house every 2 years is like under reno. His problem solved after he moves out . Water seepage does not resolved after patching up. A year or two there will be sign of molding ceiling. My buddy ceiling issue was started from balcony to living hall till bedroom. By covering up with false ceiling might "cover up" the issue only. Is the rest of the ceiling area got sign of molding ceiling too? We got a choice to choose our new BTO at top floor but we did not after looking at my buddy issue. So becareful when buying top floor flat especially those more than ten years old. HDB guarantee 10 years water seepage for roof area. Even after ten years they repair FOC for you but the house is like a mess after the repair (dusty)
-
Orh no, this issue will not able to resolve. Water will seep from one place to another. Hope i m wrong, good luck.
