skysheep

Hmm...keep fingers crossed man! No cables? OMG.....how are we guys going to watch EPL man? I hope they complete it fast man. Paid a deposit for a sofa and dinning chairs in addition to earlier purchases at OM(Liang Court). Heard from the staff that the discounts at Liang Court are more as it is clearing out.There are pretty nice bargains over there...fellow neighbours buying furnishings k perhaps go there to have a look.

Owens Avenue, which floor are urs? I'm also from 21 lvl. Hope it's high enuff to see it man.

Dorcas, I'm a commission earner and that's why they insist I submit payslips for 12 mths. (They say can't take cpf statements for last 12 mths) I think it's illogical because my comms are calculated inside CPF already, don't understand why lor....

Yah man...I did, so mafan, they want my payslips for 1 whole year... Hey Dorcas and Nemofc, Thanks!! So happy the date have been fixed, will start my reno soon!

Hi Happy, I'm getting more and more sianz when I open my letterbox everyday. Despite calling HDB to expediete it numberous time, still now news lor... Congrats Dorcas! I hope mine will come by this week.

No lor....we have been waiting for donkey years already...not even received letter on key collection. From what I found out from HDB on Mon is that the keys are with HDB already, but no allocation of dates yet. I suppose we will only be collecting the keys in Jan laioz.

Hey Nemofc! Nice to see your blog coming up...do keep us posted of the progress of your renovation and most impt, lots and lots of pcitures

Oh...nvm lah, there's always next time...sure more units will be up as times pass, we can have more to look at. Actually what is the actually length for cement screeding ah? From collection of keys, you make a booking on that day right? From then on, to the arrival of sand, to laying, to drying....how long will it take? Really tempted to get my ID to do it instead if really a big difference in time. But on other hand, every cents count!

Yup....It's nice to look look, see see....have new ideas and know "what not to do" in the upcoming renovation. The exchange of ideas and views is great and it's cool to know that my future neighbours are friendly and nice. The decorative tile (like Egyptian drawings) at the one of the units very nice leh....which both my wife and I fancy. Must ask Tony to bring me see, the light above also nice.....

I'm also unsure whether mine is renewed already or not, cos the HDB officer said will do it for me when I e-mail her last mth. Better not, so that I can still renew. I shoot back e-mail ask her check properly again, how can be the house still not completed. I'm expecting the collection dates to be end November bah...

I just sent an e-mail to HDB to inquiry on collection of keys for Blk 26B as my renewed HLE will expiry end of the year....and guess what HDB's reply; We are sorry that the flat is not completed yet. Will send you the new HLE form for your return with latest 3 months' payslips. How can that be man ?? I thought Blk 26B is next in queue after 26C.

Hi Neighbours, Are you all aware when will be the next IT fair or alike fairs coming up? Will like to buy a LCD Tv and hope can get a good deal in one of the fairs.

Hi there, I'm louis, my unit will be at 26B, What yours name? So you are also one of the lucky ones, just like me who got it thru balloting. =p I never heard of Home Workz...is this the only ID u got a quotation with so far? I got a few and decided on Classic Design, the one opp Tiong Bahru Plaza lor. I’ve yet to collect my keys, most probably mid Nov. The charges of Classic Design are very reasonable and low compared to other IDs I've visited. I'll be getting my AutoCAD drawings next week, k share with u. he quotation I have is hard copy leh...don't have it in soft copy. I did mine for 19.6k - Homo tiles for living rooms and floyer. - Parquet for all bedrooms - Alumix cabinet for MBM - bay window (storage) for MBM - Bomnshelter wall - 6ft full length shoe cabinet - featurewall + tv console - full length mirror in dining room - bedroom cabinet 5ft for 1 bedroom - tempered showerscreen for M Bathroom - 2 solid surface top for basin and full length mirror - 1 suspended cabinet below 1 of the basin - Kitchen cabinet 20ft + 2.5ft - The rest are other necessary stuffs like false ceiling, bases, painting etc....

Hmm...u can upload your picture into an online storage website like photobucket and then link it to your reply via url. Hi guys, I believe u all have bought nice carpets right? Where did u all buy them and how's the price like? If can upload pic the best. !!

If this is not a sales talk, I don't know what k be use to term it man. Moderators of this forum should do something to this newbie here.

Hi all, I'm so excited to came across this thread...really interesting sharing from you guys. I dropped over Sat and Sunday, visited units currently under renovation by Tong Hong, GIM WEE and Homemakers. Here are my views, Tong Hong - very contractor-wise feeling given. (nv suggest anything on designs at all) - Workmanship (Don't really know to tell, but looks normal?) - The package seems expensive. (18k for standard fittings and fixtures, comes with free Mitsubishi aircons) - Awaiting quotation Gim Wee - The guy gives alot of ideas on ID but seems very young. - Don't have much workmanship to look at yet. - Seems expensive as he just pull numbers from the air when I ask agar how much it'll cost. (said 30k+ for 4-room and 40k+ for 5 room, I never even said what kind of carpentry) Homemakers - Nv chat with any salesperson as wise - Workmanship seems similar to Tong Hong. - Price wise no idea. Tried to sneak in and "caught red handed" by the security guard yest. Haha...you all should know what happens next. Undertable. =p He even escort us up to a 10th level of the block where my family friend's unit is. (nv climb to our units as it's too high, lifts not operating) He also gave me some valuable info that you guys will be interested in. 26C residents will be getting their keys in mid Oct. As for fellow 26B residents, we'll be getting ours in Nov. I guess new home can be ready by CNY. =) (The other units nv ask, paiseh) Have you all came across and considered Classic Design, who's shop is opp Tiong Bahru Plaza? Chatted with them twice and overall impression very good. Quotation seems reasonable and said renovation can be done in 1 mth time. Seriously considering them, going to view the units they currently renovating to check on their workmanship soon. Seems no one mentioned abt this ID in Renotalk, hope to receive some feedbacks on it!
