Sighz, the cement screeding job has not been carried out yesterday, 23 Oct 2014... On 22nd, my ID has called to remind him of the appointment on 23rd. This HDB contractor has actually said that he has FORGOTTEN about it! This is really very irresponsible of him! He has then fixed the appointment on the coming Monday. This is the last straw... If the cement screeding has not been carried out on Monday, I will sure make noise to HDB. This is already the 3rd week since we have submitted our application and nothing has been done! So, only some minor masonry works in the Kitchen were been carried out yesterday.

Hahah diva79, actually u haf done the right thing. Shd decide on furniture 1st then decide on the design of the house. like that it will be easier.Hehe, the theme for my house design is more towards to a cozy and modern home. When I haf gone shopping with my hubby, we chanced upon a set of marble dinning table and chairs and a marble coffee table. I just can't resist the temptation... 😍😍😍 so, we just made the deposit before consulting our ID if these furniture do match our theme. 😛 These furniture is also a bit mismatch with my leather sofa and most probably the flooring as well (I suspect) At a weak moment, my hubby has been convinced by me to also buy a Ogawa massage chair. 😁😁😁 I have totally forgotten about the issue if there is any available space to put this chair in the living room. hehe, my ID now trying to see how to 'salvage' the situation.. 😜😜😜 well, I guess can take this incident to test test his capability a bit... 😜 Suspect he is stressed now... 😝 Hahah

Welcome, neighbor

I realize that they dun support .pdf format file here... All the while, I haf been trying to upload .pdf files.. 😓

Hey, that's good! At least the minor probs could b solved in the end. 😄 hahah for my side, We just can't resist shopping for furniture. Now my ID has a slightly hard time in thinking how to corporate those furniture that we have bought into the proposed theme and design. 😁😁😁 Heard that the 3D designs going to be out soon.. Hehe can't wait to see the end results. 😜 Sure, once the Reno commences, I will upload the pics.

Hi neighbor, thanks. How's ur renovation going along?

Hahah thanks. I pm u the Reno budget ba.

Hi rikeanheart, I guess we are just lucky ba. We just happen to change the keys collection date earlier. I heard from my ID that if u choose homogenous tiles, the cement screeding will be included in the renovation package. But if u choose laminates or HERF, then most likely you will need to pay extra for the cement screeding job.

As we will need to start the renovation works before the commencement of the lunar September 2014, my fil has picked 23 October for BH to start the reno works ("kai gong yi shi") as a form of symbolism. One more good news is that the cement screeding will also be carried out on the same day! Hehe, my hubby and I are actually quite worried over the possibility that the HDB contractor may delay another 1 to 2 more weeks to carry out the cement screeding for us. I will update more after 23 October 2014.

We are unable to start our renovation previously as we are waiting for the HDB contractor to complete the cement screeding job. In the midst of waiting for the cement screeding to be done, we have selected the type and colour of the materials for the respective cabinets, pd doors, flooring and walls with BH. In addition, BH has also brought us shopping for kitchen and toilet accessories and the respective lightings.

Thanks, DorisChin

this will be our floor plan... a small but modest home...
