I have removed 2 small toilet sink cabinet doors that are very old. The frame is still fine. I wish to get 2 new ones to replace. Can anyone recommend direct carpenters either in Sg or Jb that will help me fabricate just these 2 small cabinet doors without charging me an arm and leg? Thanks in advance.

When did they reject? Think HDB hasn't sort out what they can accept as the replacement for EPF.

Best you ask your ID. I also want to know !

Anyone has got their leveling up of flooring approved so far? Mine still pending HDB approval and its been 1 long month now! Submitted 8 Nov 2012 still no outcome. *&!*^@&@^ Can I use vulgarities here?

Hmm.. i Was at Hoe Kee and 2 of their sale staffs told me HDB will not allow... and that those who do it... are not legal one... So who is right?

IDs don't seem to know what to do w/o EPF! They say cannot top up, do a ramp instead. KNS.

Me think its safe enough if no one climbs on the steel "thread"... so if you must install, do it VERTICALLY, not horizontally. My wife didnt like it as it doesnt give the "safe" feeling. So I'd go for the normal aluminium type

If cannot use EPF, then how to top up floor? Anyone? Hi all, my ID broke this latest news to me ==> no topping up or leveling of floor allowed by HDB from now. This is a result of the ban of use of EPF which is the most common material used to level up the flooring. I have no idea what is the alternative to EPF in topping up floor. Anyone has any idea how to top up the floor w/o EPF? ------------------------------- With effect on 24/09/2012, HDB FLAT CANNOT USE EPF TO LEVEL UP. Pls read through circular below.

Just checked with my ID on this flushing of the toilet bowl. He say this is not allowed by HDB lei.

Wow sounds cool lei. WIll try to get this done too. I stay in Marine Parade... all the 5 rms here are same point block floor plan.

My house has the same layout as yours. Qn... those concealed flushing system... what happens if the flushing system spoil? Able to replace them or not?

Yes, SKY is the 2nd highest quote out of 4 we got. I have signed them up. They have just shown us the five 3D drawings of various parts of the house. While we applaud them for the fine effort, we will reject them as the main theme they showed us wasnt good. We ended up flipping a few dozen magazines in order to tell them exactly what we want.
