  1. replied to your PM. that's alot of questions! haha... but my reply was longer.
  2. I never heard of it before. I don't think it stated anywhere in the renovation guide from HDB.
  3. make sure they do proper waterproofing to the enlarged toilet! especially you are placing your bathtub at the original dry bedroom area.
  4. Hi patpatrol If we had to go through the reno process again, i would not do the top glass portion in my living and study partition. Also I would do the flooring with a lighter tone, which can brighten up the living space further. but too bad they do not have the lighter tone vinyl for the model we choosen. which taobao purchases you interested? there are quite a number of taobao purchases I did. Will PM you our contractor's contact.
  5. Hi, I used sketchup to do the visualization. Unfortunately sketchup is no longer "free" software to download. There is a online version for personal use with limited functions https://www.sketchup.com/plans-and-pricing#for-personal Alternatively you can try download the 2017 version or earlier to use offline. It's a pretty good basic software to do up ideas for reno.
  6. some were asking me how does the connection below the sink looks like. Here it is. Flexible pipes supplied together with the sink.
  7. Hi! apologies for the late respond. Just came back not long ago from overseas. The compressor are located outside the master room and another common room windows nearer to our study room. The usual place for older flats without aircon ledge. PM you my contractor contact.
  8. Hi WuffRuff Only the living room are installed with false ceiling. The kitchen did not. If you see from the photo taken looking at the kitchen entrance, you can see the where the water pipe runs. Everything runs along the beam above the entrance which is not visible from the living room, so it gave an impression that false ceiling was installed in kitchen. For the kitchen wall, it is just pure concrete screed finished. Initially wanted to add on a sealer but it will make the wall even darker. The light grey color is bright and good. I installed a system 3 + system 2. The block had underwent electrical upgrading, and I went to look around my neighbour's window, there are some units with 2 compressor. Frankly I also dunno if there is 30 or 40 Amps but I am sure electrical upgrading was completed. My aircon was done up by Tim Wong. He can be contacted by 92321641. He used to do our first home and my mum's home. Their workmanship was pretty good so decided to engage him again. I am assuming that you are referring to the partition beside the dresser table? It is actually carpentry partition, i.e. with wood frame and laminate on plywood. part of the feature wall in the living room. PM you on my ID contact etc.
  9. Installed the toilet mirror cabinet (size: 900x700) we got from taobao. including shipping about S$200. the quality is very good as it used plywood.
  10. Thanks! We also decided to move to a bigger house due to our 2nd kid. Our new place definitely gives us more breathing space. However we missed our previous neighbors as they were extremely friendly elderlies. Have to make new neighbors again. PM you my contractor's contact.
  11. Initially we were considering a glass door but decided not to have it as we thought that the door might become white elephant as we saw many who just leave the door open "forever" due to frequent in and out. So curtain would be just nice by drawing it. And it saves space as well. Since it's a small space, we don't mind having it "air-conditioned" because without the wardrobe, the air conditioning will still need to cool the same area. We are looking at ceiling mounted. However we do not need a full fledged type. In the future we will still get a dryer.
  12. I did the design in SketchUp, and got the ID contractor to do according to the design. PM you the contact
  13. Thank you! As our unit is point block type, the outdoor rack is quite recessed in facing North, so there's not much sunlight to dry the clothes. We dry our clothes at our cosy corner every morning which received good morning sun and clothes dries by noon. Still looking around for a suitable rack to be installed at that corner. Furthermore hanging the clothes in the kitchen means oil smell because we often cook at home. Our walk-in wardrobe entrance is away from the bedroom entrance. We always close the bedroom door if we are hanging in there. But we are considering to install a curtain across the wardrobe entrance to minimize dust entry actually.
