Last minute DIY addition for concealed networking points, 2 for MBR and 1 each for common room before they start the floor tiling. This is to crater for internet TV and PC to fully utilised the full bandwidth of the internet connection. The cable used was from LHS of Sim Lim Tower using Belden Cat 6. Ideally the 4 ports should be at the DB box cabinet, but to run the cables through the cabinet takes too much time to do a neat job. In the end, the modem will be placed beside the DB box and the existing data connection from the DB box connected to the living room will be connected to the Wi-Fi router at the living room. From there, the 4 data ports will be joined to the bedroom.

My loot from taobao finally arrived on 9 Apr by sea after more than 1 month. Almost $3,000 worth of items which include basins, taps, lights, wallpaper, rain shower set, TV wall mount bracket, ceiling fan, curtain rod etc....wahhhoooo

The wall between kitchen and living has been hacked away.

The false wall and ceiling is finally completed on 6 Apr.

Tiles selection day. Collected samples from the 5 major showroom. Finally narrow down to 2 homogeneous samples from SBH and LSH. Although both look similar with a price difference of $0.30, the anti-scratch characteristic are very different. After doing a scratch test with my keys, I got the winner. Stay tune for the final tiles selected.

Start of electrical and aircon piping works on 29 Mar. All electrical and Aircon piping will be concealed.

Hi neighbours, nice to see your response in my thread. Hope we can catch up one day!

The next stage is the most demanding process, ID or contractor, design? Everyone seems to be pushing their ID/contractor to me. Met up with a few of them and finally decided since new HDB are almost the same, I shall engage myself as the ID and design something that reflect my own personality and practical for my own use. I decided to take the Zen approach and select the contractor which are tested with positive feedback and reasonable costs. I ended with 3 major groups, 1 x main con responsible for flooring, false ceiling and wall and hacking of wall, 1 x electrician and 1 x carpentry. The rest of the miscellaneous installation will be handled by myself, namely, doors, gas heater, storage rack for bomb shelter and glass door for MBR toilet. The reason I have chosen this route is because time is not an essence but quality is. I came up with a 2D drawing to instruct the contractors what I want and the 3D drawings is in my head

My mom had selected an auspicious date for the door opening on 8 Mar and so guai guai had to wait for 2 more days. On the day of opening, we roll pineapple to symbolise 财源滚滚來 and pomelo to symbolise 一拿就有 Our view from living room, free landscaping service provided by town council Unblock view from service yard with no ugly piping running across the beam Check through the house for defect but basically nothing much to check as I did not opt in for the flooring and doors except for this leaking wall at the MBR which has been rectified within 7 days from report filed. Don't know what is HDB thinking. Where on earth to find a washing machine with a width of 66cm to squeeze into the corner and they purposely extend the draining pipe to the corner. Saw this area and first thing that strike my mind is to do a airport runway cove lights

Been lurking at this forum of the past few years in preparation for my 5RM BTO at Yishun Riverwalk. The day finally came on 6 Mar this year for the keys collection. As usual, I will start off with the floor plan of the unit.
