I think we won't get to use much coz only two of us I have this house rule that my ah lao can only use one toilet coz if he suka suka use all toilet for his biz means i need to wash all toilets.The common toilet at level 2 is very big L-shaped..wish that is MBR toilet though so can put more of daily-use barang barang in there. Btw I'm stalking your blog and all EM blogs to get ideas love to see the transformations !

tell me about it...everything involves our dog...coz she's part of family as well

Hi benauhc hope you find your ideal ID soon. Really headache to source for a good one isn't it? we have actually met a few IDs and contractor. Since we already know what we want so we might be getting contractor instead. During our meetups with IDs, most of the time we are the ones telling them what we want. They hardly give us ideas that we really like except for one or two who are really experienced but can tell their background is actually started as renovator/contractor then start their own ID biz. Or maybe we haven't met the right one yet coz we are too lazy to look around my ah lao die die must keep the balcony. One ID suggested to extend our kitchen to balcony and block up the balcony entrance..my ah lao he said it's rare to have such double volume balcony which is one of unique feature of EM. yes we will have open concept kitchen seems like we have alot things to do..pocket also will burn big hole till 脱裤

Hi Velarine Thanks thanks. Haha my dog is abit slow in climbing stairs..need more practice for her. We will hack down the study/bedroom at first floor coz we plan to have our living room at that side. No plans for the original living room area yet but we like to keep the place as clutter-free as possible..do not like typical fancy TV feature wall and many furnitures that make the place look small. we paid 6 digits for cov *sweat*

this is artistic leh...save space also hahahaha..eco friendly

swee!!!! very cool! the only way I can think of on cleaning is using those magiclean mop to clean from MBR bedroom window

Time really flies...was in renotalk 5 years ago when we had our Punggol 5i flat from then walk-in-selection. Didn't do any reno then coz it was a repurchased unit that was only 2yrs old and 100% renovated and in very mint condition.200% move-in condition so can say we don't have any experience in reno fast forward to 5yrs MOP this september, we started to look around for EM. Reason for choosing EM - love the space, privacy of having bedrooms upstair...and coz of our dog more space for our lil terror to run about. Initially we were looking at west because it's nearer to my parents but we didn't manage to find any suitable unit to our liking. Either that or our offers were rejected. Seller's agents tend to screen if we are private downgrader (they are perceived to have more buying power & cash rich to pay for the rocket high cov. Some agents even told my agent don't waste their time if we can't pay their asking COV (80~100k++) even for Jurong and non-prime locations. Obviously we are not willing to pay that high cov for these locations. Next we changed our location to east (Pasir Ris and Tampines)...made an offer to one unit but rejected again. Anyway fast forward again..we finally decided on this unit in Bishan. Went for 2nd viewing and OTP on that fateful night. Now waiting for 1st appointment in Dec and reno probably can only start after CNY. Tried going through RT blogs but can't find same layout as mine. Anyway we have not confirm any contractor/ID yet. We already know what we want to do but welcome all ideas and advices. As the title stated, we are lazy people..lazy to go around comparing and meeting so many ID.contractors. So appreciate if you guys can provide me good contacts...if you are me, what will you do to this layout? we are happy to hear from you guys. this is our layout..Gen 2 corner unit 151sqm. we will Hack first floor bedroom wall coz the existing dining + bedroom will become living room.

just curious ...on how to clean and maintain ?

Bed frame?

Hi Frankman can u pm me your taobao forwarder as well? thanks so much.

Bishan

EC normal 3/4 bedders are still very small size.. It's not apple to apple comparison. Only thing they have security facilities which not everyone will get to enjoy and utilize, nowadays A EC project consists of few hundreds units.. But of coz everyone has different needs and wants

I just found out the EM unit above us sold at 900k.. We kind of console ourselves the price we paid is not very high .. Haha

Looks v spacious and bright! Swee
