I will be using your (1) so that can maximize the kitchen top space for putting things. The other options too much hassle i think

not a problem My intention is for the sink to be at the window initially. You went down with your ID also ah? Any comments from your ID? ?

oh yes. just received the letter from hdb yesterday. appointment will be on 8 aug

if change the sink position, the floor might need to be hacked to re-run the drainage pipe and yes, those showflats at sembawang have their stove directly opposite their sinks!

Your turn will come soon too. Anyway I will only start reno once after 7th month. Meanwhile let the ID plan and take all measurements first.

mine is 339A. Which website did u check? I call in to check.

keys are ready for collection! mine is on aug 7. u guys can call 18008663066 to enquire. Be armed with your HDB pin as well.

The popular has been there for quite some time liao i think. At least since Jan this year Not to forget the cheap ABC store !!!

ok thanks. i will let u guys know also when i meet my id this sun

keen to but budget constrained. anyone knows how much it cost to overlay one toilet wall tiles?

was viewing a unit done recently by her. not bad i feel. so asked if she wanna go take a look since it's quite near lor. so we went to view. I will be confirming with Earnest soon this coming weekend to finalise all details

our toilets got lousy colour also. imagine blue color common toilet and pink master bedroom toilet. Brought along an ID to take a look and she looks stunned. hahaha wonder who's the designer for HDB that get such lousy colour scheme.

you mean those fan-shape ones? think sold out due to it's nicer look, bigger space and cheaper as well. but then too far from mrt

hi all, just realised another sembawang topic here will be resident of sembawang in few months time I was at sembawang yesterday evening and realised the empty patch in front of mrt is going to be developed into a multipurpose court. wonder what that is

Gettings keys on august ah? hopefully can be earlier cos do not want to coincide with the 7th month. Otherwise I may just postpone to key collection after 7th month, ie September liao

Apart from all flooring wall tiles, i think some taps are changed too. Saw a plastic covering over it but it is ugly. also the toilet seats are changed. The rest all used back I emailed also but have not heard from her for weeks liao (or close to 2 months i supposed). Call is better.

or you can go to this website to key in your details. it will generate all the fees, monthly payments, etc etc ..... http://services.hdb.gov.sg/webapp/BP13FINPLAN1/BP13J020

true. quality and workmanship are also important.

oh, I bought toshiba system 4 inverter and a system 2 non-inverter. system 4 inverter is for those I feel I may use more frequently, such as study room, mbr, living and dining. system 2 non-inverter is for the other 2 bedrooms which is most likely to be a guest room for our parents when they stay over. at first i also thought using 2x system 3 is enough. after finding from shops, then realise that if you need to aircon the whole house and using 2 x system 3, you may need inverter ones. if you want non-inverter ones, u can only opt for daikin. but daikin is using a single rotary, so it consumes quite a bit of electricity because no matter you switch on one fancoil or 3 faincoils, the rotor will start to spin. only when u switch on 3 faincoils, then it is more efficicient and cost saving. non-inverters for other models from other brands mostly use 2 rotary since it saves more electricity (1 fan coil to each rotary for system 2 OR 1 fan coil to 1 rotary and the other 2 fancoils to the other rotary for sytem 3) but the rotary is not strong enough to cool down the living and dining room. (inverters are using also single rotary but they consume less energy due to it able to regulate the rotary spin speed and use less energy. non-inverters their rotor spin at the same speed during every on-off cycle). go to a few more shops and you should be able to find out more on such knowledge So base on our usage, we are recommended the above configuration. If yo have other usage pattern, you might be recommended other configurations so as to cut down on electricity cost.

When they are redoing the wall and floor tiles in the toilets, they have to remove the basin, vanity and toilet bowls first. After that then they will fix it back. Aircon in living and dining is basically "wants" and not "needs". But we decided to have it cos if next time feels like having aircon in living and dining, it will be too troublesome due to the false ceiling and L-boxes

Price wise can vary quite a bit between companies. I think these variations are due to the use of different insulation materials, thickness of insulation materials, thickness of copper piping and the diameter of PVC water piping. So have to check on these stuffs as well. You definitely do not want leaking water and leaking gas just after 2-3 years of usage just to save that $200-300 difference.

Toshiba!

Yup i guess 33X are all painted. Pink exterior. The opposite side 35X and 36X are still doing the painting work. Initially I was also struggling with the idea of installing air-con for living room. But finally succumb to it although won't be using very often, except when there are gatherings and weekends watching soccer. Enquire with some aircon companies and all suggested 2 fancoils for living room due to large area and better circulation. If I'm not wrong, only the toilet seats will be changed, as I see the worker changed it last sat during my visit and photo-taking . My toilet bowls, basin and vanity looks pretty old and stained Will try to see if the stains can be washed away and heavily sanitized so that can cut cost of replacing them. Replacing the sink and toilet bowls may require the overlaying of the tiles and hurt the wall tiles. Last weekend went to recce for toilet and kitchen stuffs and lightings at Jalan Besar, Balestier and Geylang. Totally dazzled Too many shops to choose from.

The ID I talked to from Earnest is Zann. So far discussion is ok. Doing exterior as you mean painting? hmmmm..... We bought our stuffs first as the colour can be changed accordingly to suit our colour theme. As long as we gave them ample time, shouldn't be a problem. A bit KS but during GSS the price is really attractive, so might as well I got a Toshiba system 4 inverter (2x9k, 1x12k, 1x16k) for my MBR, study room, living room and dining room while the other 2 rooms i used a normal Toshiba system 2 (2x9k).
