I am lazy to do T-blog coz house already done and also normal normal looking hahaa

Wow... we only did the laminate flooring for living and 3 bedrm, feature wall for master bedrm and living (kinda regret doing the master bedrm feature wall, should just mount it on the empty wall), kitchen cabinet, my altar, i fit it into the small hole next to the door and the bigger hole I did a top cabinet and table top (something like a wine counter) The other 2 rms are empty

Wow, what your cost up to now? jus renovation alone.. not including those loose furniture and electrical appliances? Sorry very curious.. haha mine cost around 28k no hacking works involved. now think back like very expensive..

Wow, seems you doing quite extensive renovation. U overlay part of the kitchen area? coz you mentioned that tiles for kitchen backsplash? Knock down 1 rm for walk in wardrobe? We moved in le, night time very quiet.. Blk D not alot of people living yet. haha Every night only 2-3 units lit up , we are facing the big empty field like you.

I do all my shopping on Gmarket... My husband keep nagging at me le.. hahaha

I see, for us we not particular abt the distance it protrude from the our tv feature wall, the tilt make it easier to throw the wires into the hole of the feature wall. So hows the design coming along? Started already? For the cement screed, u have to be proactive and keep pestering HDB haha

Hi Kim, Y u need to buy a wall mount? I thought samsung offer wall mount installation free up to 6 mths from your purchase date for tv size of around 40" and above? I called samsung to install my tv mount last wk and the one they give is quite good quality and it can tilt at an angle. Brought my tv from Courts

My Id's carpenter also burst my conceal waterpipe, they repair all the things and I ask them for extra warranty against this area in case of future leakage due to the burst waterpipe

Last yr my company participate in this furniture show, but we more of the hospitality side (commercial useage) so I din go explore other halls.. But i heard it is open for public on the last day and you can buy their display sets. I spotted lorenzo there last yr.

Already inform my ID, they have weld the pipe back, but very sian....

Ya... originally say mid Mar... now i dunno when can move in... When install the kitchen cabinet ytd, they accidentally drill a hole in my water pipe... I WANNA CRY!!!! Call HDB, they say contractor to weld back the pipe, do water pressure test, observe for a week. I ask my designer for some sort of compensation or warranty in a event that the water pipe burst after we move in... SIAN SIAN SUPER SIAN!!!! Ask your contractor to use a metal detector to detect the exact location of the pipe before they drill, the blue sticker is a good 10cm away from my actual pipe, I read HDB rules, the blue sticker is jus an indication, contractor have to verify the exact location themselves. For the cement screed, you can go HDB cck, they will give u a form to fill up, you have to give them 1 of your padlock keys also, or if your designer already change to a number lock, u can give them the number lock password.

Congrats on collecting your keys on tuesday Remember to submit your cement screed form asap hahaa My renovation will be completed quite soon. Just last week, we did the flooring and false ceiling. My ID told me that the carpenter has completed my cabinetry and will install today and tml. Originally they told me was next wk. Haha So.. i think by mid mar, my house will complete renovation

WE brought the Samsung UA46D6600WN 46'' Series 6 LED Smart LED TV that comes with the internet browser and the option to convert 2d to 3d. Brought at the IT fair in Dec, $2299 (free gift a $700 worth of samsung laptop)

Jus submitted for the event too.. Looking forward to seeing u guys

Hi neighbours~ I found this web page regarding the Completion Ceremony http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10999p.nsf/FI10Int?OpenForm&ProgName=SCCCK Thinking whether to participate anot haha

Maybe becoz of CNY period tt y 1.5mth ba... I nearly every 2-3 days will call the HDB technical officer haha

How does the process works? 1) Receive HDB letter to collect keys - You can call HDB sales dept to check on your key collection status, I choose my own appointment date 2) Collect keys from HDB. Is the HDB loan also settle on the same day? - Yes, the sales officer will guide you thru tons of doc to sign and also settle your HDB Loan, they will ask what amount each party want to contribute. 3) Open door and throw pineapple - We choose a date to open door and throw pineapple then another day which signifies the "dong tu" 4) Apply for reno permit? Will the ID do that? How to do it? - Reno permit, i think your ID will do it for you 5) Apply for cement creed? - If you have confirm where u want to do your cement screed, i suggest once you get your keys, get a padlock then go submit your cement screed at CCK HDB 6) Can the reno start before the cement creed? - Abit of reno can start before the cement screed, depends on the area u doing. For me, I did the living and bedroom all cement screed so literally cannot do anything before they screed. then hor... U have to wait for another 2 wks after the screed is done so the moisture can evaporate off the cement screed.. We waited 1.5 mths before actually starting my renovation. Hope it helps, the cement screed is a pain in the a**

Morn neighbour. Reno permit need 1 mth ma? This one the ID will settle.. If you guys are doing cement screed already must apply once u get your keys

Can shift toilet door? Thought no hacking due to the waterproofing membrane at the toilet? Our master bedroom wardrobe is so small.. 1.6m nia.

Hi neighbours~ We brought our KDK fan from *spam. My husband research say its the cheapest in town. Our fridge and washing machine are from Mega Discount Store We brought our bed frame and coffee table from Brighton, their price is inclusive of GST and one lump sum delivery charge.

Hi neighbour I live in Blk D, we got our keys in Dec 11. Renovation only started like last week coz we waited for HDB cement screed for about a mth. Submit our form in 24 Dec 11 and they only start work like 1st wk of Feb. If you wanna do the cement screed for laminate/ timber flooring, please go and apply with HDB once u receive your keys.. Take ages for them to do that.. Now we are at the stage where my false ceiling is done, painting to be completed tml and laminate flooring to begin on Friday. Have u decided on your ID?

Hi Hi~ We just lock down on the ID. Renovation is not cheap... Hai... We decided to hack off the 2 wall to open up our kitchen. Open concept kitchen

The last time, I check HDB/URA plans, the empty site is a proposed residential development. Hopefully they dun built the new buildings super close to us...

Thks for the photo. Feel excited for you, can't wait to get our keys! Can i ask something... HDB will give us the shower set? I know that they give basin and toilet bowl. but i din know that the shower set is provided.. I went into one of the units before and saw that but i thought the owner installed in themselves. For info: we counted 144 parking lots in the multi-storey carpark, very stress if alot of pp drive sure not enough lots. hahhaa

How you get quotes? jus email or you meet the Id? We also very stressed....... You taking loan from HDB? your HLE approved?
