heya is the trim still ava?

helo fellow TPY-er! its looking gd! love ur main door/gate combi =)

and sneak peak of the 3D. may fave bit. The wood portion facing the walkway is our shoe cabinet. Couldnt do full ht coz we wanted more light in the kitchen.

Just an update on the layout - which changed after the fs visit. we got tons more space in the kitchen now.

jus4fun .. do a t-blog! - find it more "real" when i see live in conditions . sometimes 3D and stylized shots are just so misleading ... like who buys a shelf to but 4 books ?

haha oops ..alot of peeps getting tpy flats. the floor abv me is renovating too!

oo! i read ur t-blog.. really hdb can be quite stringent abt stuff. but nvm la.. impt thing is ur progressing. =) love ur ideas !

Vanessa: apparently if its non load bearing no calculations need to be done. its just a simple para stating its non-load bearing and ok to hack. Plus of course that horribly expensive PE chop. Totally get u, the uncertainty and delay.. pats. but its over now right? When are u resubmitting? I think approval takes abt 2-3days and if possible hound your tech officer to mark as urgent . we console ourselves that money spent is for peace of mind? juxtapose : yea sale! hoping to upload my loots post weekend whee..will i see u at the sales? haha jus4fun: i owe u pics def.. =( but ive been sneaking in during the night. the photos are **** dim. need to edit or retake tml.. hubs abit against showing ple first. i think he is scared it wun turn up to expectations .. and ya man confirm they are taking a break. Dont mind la.. im not slave driver.. haha they need a break. plus now 7th mth liao. no hurries hur hur..

btw in keeping with my love for shopping. Tangs will be having their NDR sale this week *hurray* . Totally convienent to get from Tangs, Isetan and Taka this weekend. hoho

back! Been a hectic time of late and totally neglecting this space. Thx for waiting for me jus4fun and Beng haha .. Loads to update but i'll start with the negatives haha get it off my chest abit . 1. HDB wall hacking approval. Was one of the suay kiddos that need a PE approval for hacking the wall (design changed somewhat after FS consultation) ... what i realised is very few PEs want biz from HDB owners like myself. =( After endless cold calling based on HDB 's PE list i get either 1) not interested response . 2) sky high quote or 3) really delayed response. Was quite depressed. My contractor's go to PE was more interested in landed prop so the quote was sth to the effect of 900. =S All that just to do certification for non-load bearing wall. GOSH....... BUT i got lucky, managed to find one in the end for 400 and the approval came soon after. *phew* . Though i keep feeling my house isnt sturdy enuf with the wall down.. hiak What I gathered from the HDB Technical officer is that, pre-fab units (such as mine) and those on the lower floors have a higher probability of needing PE approval. So good luck to those whose ID doesnt have a contact its not the pleasent of searches. 2. Neighbour complaints. So now with the wall down, I was pretty happy, till.......... i got complaints from my neighbours abt noise and dust level. They said some pretty nasty things, and was quite guilt tripping. I guess its terrible for the ah ma next door to endure the noise *mental note to bring some goodies*, so now im much less enthused abt the renovations. I know its stupid, but i think their comments cut quite badly. *hiaz* How do u guys deal with neighbours during reno? I haboured high hopes of being chummy with them.. but now i think thats dashed. Hopefully now that the majority of the noisy works is over and the fact my contractor is sweeping their corridor daily, it should lessen the bad will.

heh .. got my keys but ran into alot of hiccups with HDB.. plus alot of time spent on sourcing for stuff. No time to update.. and so much to *****! eagle! will pm u the contact!
