its not the terms and condition but rather whether you will keep on adding things. for hdb, its ok. most of the time, try to get comprehensive quotes. don't get package as the VO will be more than the package. better to get ID/contractor to quote you based on all you want to do and there won't be much VO then. not the curve side, more on the bedroom wall side... so its against the wall and yet can see the windows on the right.

if i am you, i will place the sofa where the curve windows are. so you can look at the main door plus anyone walking from the kitchen. and can look out of windows too when don't want to look at tv.

Yup, my 50k do not incl toilet accessories or kitchen fittings or lightings. all these make up abt another 10k loh. so if you plan to do all, then i think most probably abt 40-50k. minerat, yours is landed. more VO. for hdb flats, its quite ok, not much VO. mine only few hundreds extra cos i wanted to box up some stuff during reno. so if bb_1314 started with 30k and ended up with 60k, that would be crazy.

Congrats in getting your 5rm. Hmmm.... 30k really seem a bit tight leh especially you are practically doing everything. I did whatever you wanted minus bomb shelter (as I store room which I did nothing) already nearly 50k.

2 days only and add a few hours for one of the night. No, they didn't bring own furniture, only some accessories.

Congrats!! I didn't know orphans can buy direct from hdb. Happy you can get your own place.

so fast shifted in? how long was your reno? seem quite fast leh... maybe you didn't update daily.

i have sent you a pm. please read. thanks

the link only shows episode 1 at the moment. wait till episode 5 is out, then you will be able to see my house loh. picture is dead mah, in drama its real. can see actual effect with human. different feel. hahaha....

theitsybits got new flat, so his toilet floor cannot hack. Thus he asked that question but Nexer bought resale, so sure can hack. can move toilet bowl, but somehow the pipes still have to link to the original hole which might not be easy cos the pipe for toilet bowl is really big. i cannot imagine such big pipe will run from left to right of the toilet unless nexer really don't mind it.

DRAMA dear all, as i mentioned before, mediacorp uses my place for one of their drama. Here is the xin.msn link to the drama that will feature my place starting from episode 5 onwards for 3-4 episodes. but the scenes in my place is quite short, so might not catch it if not attentive. hhehehee.... http://video.xin.msn.com/browse/tv/show?tag=don%27t+stop+believin%27 do let me know what you think if you happens to see it. Thank you thank you!

hi all 3, i have sent pm to each of you. sorry for the delay, just got back from holiday since its a nice national day weekend.

If have kids at home, better not to have glass doors at all. Whether swing or sliding.

Ok bento. But my friend paid 2-3k to them. So it's too late now to change since its been few years ago. So anyone have this problem can go police to chase them out.

They are not tenant, they are the sellers. And I don't think police can do anything cos my friend was a policewoman before she retired. So she knows whether police can help chase the sellers away. But whatever case, if police comes, then what? Police will literally push them out of the house?

No seller have to move out before 2nd appt. as long when you get your keys during 2nd appt, the house should be empty. Inspect the place is usually few days before 2nd appt, not first.

Sorry, can't help you cos I don't know the shop name. She went to Vietnam on holiday and saw it so bought it for me. Don't think I ask her now, she would remember since its been more than a year. Try to ask your friends to search around for you then.

22nd is the day after public holiday. Long weekend and most Malaysian workers (ie carpenters) will not be working. I wonder the delay will happen again or not

Very ex, I would have to say.

Pub is only electricity? Also have water, right? They need both to do reno.

Who will help to chase them out? Police? But in the first place, she agreed for them to stay there for additional 2 months. Police don't get involved in this kind, I think. Can only get lawyer to issue them warning? But paying lawyer same as paying them. If 1st appt this happen, still can back out as transaction not completed yet. Bank side will not have penalty if you give reason and you will take back the same bank loan when you find another flat. As long as its not 2nd appt, still can back out from everything.

yup, i took abt 3 months to view 100 units so you can continue. hehehehe.... i been to a few in hougang (last month), asking for above 60k and one of them sold within that weekend.

i have used samsung since Apr 2011 until now. no problem at all and its working well.... so i think, if you want to install, install samsung or yale. more ex but less worries.

Some ppl don't mind bad incident as long as cheap.

This query comes by every few months. Once a while we will have buyers that thinks contractors pays for PUB during reno.
