TYM

Got the letter also

Walk over and talk to the guy or his family. Cover here, block there is not going to solve the problem. Do u intend to cover up indefinitely? Confront the problem.

About that price. Bought one many years ago for $700+, can sit 6 chairs. Chairs I think was $90 each. Check the weekend papers, a lot of furniture adverts every weekend.

A friend spent 3K+ to change best-view windows for living rm, kitchen and MBR.

show some pics also...

I think i saw Scanteak advert in weekend papers, bookcase orignal 300+ now selling 100+. Not sure how long is the sale though.

No lah, my unit 25th storey @ Blk 91, but facing this direction also. Envy those staying at 40th storey.

Try CUPBOARDS.

Found this shop at Eunos Technolink, cannot remember the name of the shop but its right at one end. I think the dimenion is 1m X 2.4m, selling at $99, various colour.

Personally, prefer granite and ceramic sink. My current home is now using a granite sink for 7 seven years liao, still look as good as new. SS sink will have a lot of scratches after a while, unless you get those scratch proof type, which is more ex. Btw, anybody heard of this brand Rhoyxon. They carry hood, hob, sinks (brand is Foster), taps etc. Saw this shop selling this brand when I was in Changi Road one week ago. They staff told me that this brand is from Italy and ahs been Singapore for 30 years.

Not sure also, but if other forumners are openly discussing abt their ID firms and individual IDs, I dun see why we cannot shame a conman openly to warn others.

Consider AIR, Massimo and Castilla Premium if budget allows. For me, I will be cutting down on reno cost to get few pieces of furnitures from above.

Care to share the name/co for the benefit of those currently in the midst of renovation or looking for ID/Contractors?

Went up to 40th storey of Blk 90 yes'd and took a shot of the view towards Harbourfront direction from the corridor. Really magnificent view. Now can't wait to get my keys as my unit also having same view.

Yes, price is a bit on the high side but the finishing and quality is good. Will be placing an order for one once confirm ID and layout.

Got money, can play. No money, stay out. For me, can see, can smell, cannot touch. Happy with shelter over my head.

Fine print in the advert on paper *Simply guess the first number of the 1st prize for 4D draw (Wednesday) and stand to win a 50% refund via Audio House Voucher! So it is not a 50% discount as advertised.

I believe in buying what u like and not what is in.

Ok, tks for the clarification, will check.

For us, we started looking around and talked to ID since Nov last year (at that time, we roughly know that we will be getting our keys in 2/3Q 2007. Most of the ID firm we spoke did not get back to us but we did learnt a lot abt reno stuff, terms used in this industry, reno materials etc just by talking to them. Most of our weekends were spent visiting furniture shops/co, curtains shop, electronics shop, lights shop, bathroom and kitchen shops etc etc. There are so many things to see and learn. It was an enriching experience and I can say that today I know and understand more about reno stuff than I was 6 months ago. When talking to ID, choosing floor tiles etc, at least I will not be "smoked" so easily, especially now that I will be getting my keys soon. Visit also government websites such as HDB, CPF, etc to learn more about the policies and regulations relating to buying new house. It was only recently that I start getting quotes from ID and we should be making a decision soon. Start early, go around, talk to people. I also did not realise that there are so many things to learn and I am still discovering a lot of new things everyday. Enjoy your reno journey!

Yep, it is from AIR 160 x 90 cm is about $2.2K, 140 x 90 cm is about $2.1K. Have not place order as still in the process of confirming my layout and ID. But have bought 4 of this dining chair from AIR.

Not yet not yet, most probably getting keys in June. No rush, still deciding on ID.

Sorry, this is a bit confusing for me . So if my ID quoted me $750 for haulage, do I still need to pay this "appointed contractor" any haulage fee? Will not pay my ID if I still have to pay this "appointed contractor" additional haulage fee. But I assumed I would still need to pay the $xxx amt for the Govt Haulage Fee?

Hi Mr Chong I read somewhere that it is not good to place the bedhead against the wall under windows. However, we really like the bed but are constraints by the width of our small bedroom and would like to place the bed in this way. Is it really no good in fengshui? Is there anything I can do to counter or lessen the "harmful effects"? The window direction is facing southerly. Tks.

Ya, I think you are right. As quoted from the above link: "Note: HDB does not charge any fee for the processing of the permit. The renovation permit will be issued to you, the flat owner, and you are required to keep this permit." Btw, what is this"Renovation Deposit"? Will it be refunded back to you on completion of your reno? zirhk3355, is this the item that HDB is charging you?
