Congrats ipineapple on getting your keys. Hope you get a good ID.

Updates... near completion Balcony Tap installed We were indeed happy to have running water to the balcony and this would certainly convenient us. The BAD NEWS is that the laying of the pipes was unsightly. Ugly-looking pipes The previous owner had the pipes coming from the 2nd level MBR. We didn't like the idea having to see the pipe running through our bedroom. We decided the best option was to lay the pipes from the 1st level toilet instead. Initally, we thought that by drilling through the 1st level toilet tiles, it will link the pipe through the new store room we created in the living hall. Things turned into a nightmare when the job was done. The linking pipes somehow got its way into the main living area instead I feel that I had myself to blame ID suggested to do a box up to cover these pipes in the living room, which can also double up as a fixture to put T-5 lightings in it. As we had already exceeded our budget, we just want to keep things simple, we finally agreed to just doing a simple box up to conceal the unsightly pipes.

I also bought my hood and hob from Mayer. In fact , I also bought oven and dish washer from them too! Simply love it

Bedroom Classic doors completed

Latest Updates Solid top done ... Finally, the Kitchen cabinet is 100% completed! Kitchen sink done Ariston Hob and Deliza hood installed Ariston build-in oven and breakfast counter

Hi Techaview, I have exactly the same Ariston Oven as u. My Chimney hood looks almost the same but model is DZH329 LED type

Sometimes arranging furniture in the house can be rather challenging particular if the room is odd shape. For me, I go for regular shape layout.... Hee hee

Ya, actually I would like to have solid top for my breakfast counter but pocket not deep enough to do. Alternatively, I find laminate wood an good option and substitute. After installing, I love the effect too

Congrats! Your original condition looks good. That can save u quite a bit. Hope u have a smooth reno.

Congrats on your moving in. Things are looking good. Your current furniture pieces are blending nicely into your modern house

I believe you can meet deadline, provided the people cone everyday to do job. Kitchen already take 3 to 4 days to install. Electrical about 2 days.

I think your ID has to submit for approval to HDB. Should not be an issue. Anyway, in the contract, they robably need to dismantle and change pipes. I notice mine is changed to st steel all the way to the mains.

Wooh.... Wrong design? Was it mix up? I fear this kind of things will happen to me also... Cos my grill still not up yet! At least u r making good progress... Only left kitchen cabinet?

Lighting effect of breakfast counter and dining area .....

DAY 51 - 6 Sept Latest Updates ....More pictures on Kitchen cabinets..... I just love the clean and neat layout of my kitchen Breakfast table top at entrance.... Oven/ baking/ microwave oven/ preparation area Hood/Hob area Dish washing area Tomorrow, the ID told me his workers would be here to install Solid Top & install WC and accessories for 1st level toilet

Very nice 3D wardrobe design. I love your off-white colour, makes ur room look big and spacious

I also use the spotted tiles. ID also proposed to be a vertical border behind shower, but I disagreed. I got ID to make horizontal instead but only the shower and basin area. I wanted a white toilet with minimum spotted tiles U can check it out on my blog at http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=40650&st=200

I also have the same toilet tiles as u... Except the layout is horizontal.

Updates... Kitchen cabinets near completion except for solid top. Electrical works also completed Wooden doors for main door and bedrooms will be installed tomorrow.

Good luck. Hope u r able to settle for a good ID or contractor

Ur lightkit is similar to the one in my MBR.

Jacky, u r making good progress. Reno seems pretty fast.... Btw, I heard installing windows also need Hdb permit, is that true? I m still waiting for my windows to be installed.

I also have the same problem... No one seems to be working. I had to keep pestering my ID....

I have the same problem. I write in to management to ask for waiver .....

I didn't know about this open kitchen thingy.... Already done but luckily mine not so open cos I have a breakfast counter. Do know which fs site say so?
