Morning @ryanyth Happy Lunar New to you too. I have replied your questions within your post. ?

Will need to see the actual dimensions of the toilet to determine if this layout will work. ?

No no...no alt color on doors. Lol

Haha...that only based on the floor plan. The layout not confirm for the bathroom. I born in the year of bunny.?

Yaya, there's a long list of things you will need to do and buy. I think @mmoh kept within her budget.

Ya, nowadays the renovation cost quite high. I set at $25K but I think will go up more than $25K. ?

3D Drawing of my house (version 3/3) Couple of days back, my ID informed me that the 3D drawing is ready. Yay! ? I’m quite excited and curious how my house will look like with the materials and color combination I chose. On the other hand, I’m quite worry it will turn out quite messy because I have selected quite a few colors (as what mmoh have mention earlier, our house not very big does not need so many colors). ? After looking at the 3D drawings individually, I think they all look great but just worried that when all put together in a small house, it might be a bit too much. To be on the safe side, I have decided to reduce my laminates to 2 colours. ? Just go with the combination of White with one Wood color for the whole house (I very good boi, listen to mmoh ?). I shall see how the version 2 of the 3D drawing will look like with the new changes. Will update this post once I have received it. ? Living Room Version 1 Comment: Will extend the open shelve (above the TV) all the way to the other end, top cabinet will request to split it equally (OCD kicks in). Glass cabinet on the right side, I will request to change the glass door to a fixed glass panel and casement door open from bedroom. Version 2 Comment: Change the door back to sliding door. ? Version 3 Comment: Just a slight change at the cabinet area. Kitchen Version 1 Comment: Tentatively there’s no changes for kitchen, quite happy with it. Version 2 Comment: Added the oven and open shelves storage. Version 3 Comment: After the carpenter take measurement at the available area and it seem like the open shelves storage not very practical, since my washing machine and dryer will basically blocked it. Therefore not intend to do any shelving or cabinet. Bedroom Version 1 Comment: The open shelves on the right side of the wardrobe will move it down to the floor to put my dry box. Version 2 Comment: Added the headboard with lights Version 3 Comment: Not much changes, just added drawers and cabinet. Toilet Version 1 Comment: The color of the wall nearer to the bowl is incorrect (look like grey now), it should be slightly closer to the tone of the floor. Version 2 Comment: Re-position the shower screen to house the toilet bowl in. Previous Topic Next Topic Back to Content Page

My carpentry all white & wood (different tone), Gray only on one side of the wall near the dining area...I shall see how the 3D drawing turn out and make changes accordingly (will take your advise into consideration when I make changes). Thanks @mmoh ?

Ello @SuperZ I think is more of individual preference I guess. There's pros and cons for each type, so need to see which suit your needs more. For me, I chosen Vinyl over tiles is because; 1) I don't like the cold floor feeling. 2) Most of my carpentry are all built-in, so there shouldn't be much movement of furniture. 3) It is more comfortable to step on and also reduced the noise. 4) It won't cracked like tiles (will damaged by sharp object). 5) Maintenance is easier (tiles need to use cement, I don't like the gap in between 2 tiles to turn grey or black due to dirt). 6) I think tiles is more suitable in Kitchen and toilet as there's more moist and contact of water is higher. This is my preference for Vinyl, so it solely depend what your preference and which suit your need most. Yes, the material for my Countertop is quartz (from iQuartz - i-Series)

Hi @hyungbaobao Slightly above 25K le and I believe the price will go up more when the renovation start. ?

Tiles, Counter Top, Laminates and Vinyl Selection Yay, finally on 19 December I received email from HDB to update my particulars and also notice that my PCD date changed to End Feb. ? Hope HDB will notify the date to collect my keys (Early or Mid Feb, please) soon. ? Oh well, at least now I have some light that I will be able to get my key in Feb. Just nice my ID also texted me few days back, to check when I’m free to meet her for materials selection (my ID more kanchiong than me, which is good). Today (29 December 2019), met my ID to do our first materials selection. It is important to know what theme you want your house to look like, so that you can narrow down and work with the theme colors (i.e. Industrial, Modern, Minimalist etc.). ? If you have not decided your theme, it might be difficult for you to decide the color combination and wonder will it turn-out the way that you want. ? So, decide the theme you want before you do your materials selection. ? My ID brought out many books/stacks of catalogue/materials for me to choose. Even though my theme is Scandinavian, the main colors basically is White and Wood (I added a bit of Gray to my theme). ? Only playing with 3 colors, there are so many different tones, shades, textures and materials to choose from. ? Below is my first batch of selection I have done today. Kitchen Kitchen Backsplash (aka Glassbacking) Kitchen Carpentry color combi Kitchen Countertop Toilet Toilet Sink Countertop Toilet Carpentry color combi Toilet Wall feature wall (additional things I add today, new cost ?) Living room Living room feature wall color TV and Cabinet Carpentry color combi Bedroom Wardrobe Carpentry color combi Platform bed Carpentry color Vinyl Floor So now will have to wait for the 3D drawing (2 weeks) to see how the color combination I selected will turn-out. ?

Thanks @Cranberries. I did opted for flooring. So will bring along a door stopper.

Morning @ryanyth, I also think so, all should be back to work by Feb. Looking forward to my key collection too. ? Oh, door stopper. Ok ok. I will add it to my to-bring list. ?

Ello @Cranberries Not really, the installation can hold till you ready. Just informed them 2 to 3 weeks ahead of the date that you wish to install.

Thanks @Cranberries Yaya, good Xmas present. I hope I can get my keys by Feb ? but see how it goes ba. Aiyo, need to fill the same thing again. Hmm... ? wonder why. Think I will just fill when asked. Haha... ?

@Cranberries I received HDB email to ask me to update my particulars and my PCD date updated to end Feb. I'm so close to my key collection. ?✌️

@ryanyth, Yup, purposely choose the block in front of LRT and my unit is at 18 floor. I think should be high enough ba. HAHA..?

@Cranberries, 2 rooms for Northshore 1 & 2 don't get the sea view. I only get the LRT view. ? My block (405B) just right in front of the LRT.

Morning @Cranberries Wow, great information and advise. Will keep a look out of my inbox for HDB email. Apparently, my block all done up le (as shown in the picture below). So now only waiting for HDB to start notifying home owners to do particular update and key collection. ? Yesterday, my ID text me to arrange a day to drop by her office to choose materials and colour. She more kanchong than me, which is good. ?

I do agreed with you, I selectively pantang type. Will also do the pineapple roll and salt throwing too. ?

Ello @Jhong I don't think there's any superstitions on renovating during CNY. The only problem is the company closed during CNY and most of the workers all went back home town to celebrate. So even you want to renovate during CNY, there's no workers to do the work. ?

Hello @Cranberries, i bought so many things is because I don't want to missed all the good deals and it really help me to save quite a fair bit. My parent house storeroom full of stuff too, no space for my items. Therefore, I place all my stuff at one corner in the living room. ? Aiya, temporally only lar. Will move them away once my house is ready. ? Thought HDB already have all our particulars, what other particulars they need? Till-date, I didn't receive any notification from HDB to update my particulars. ? Given your timeline , Key collection is roughly two months after your particulars update. So, based on HDB website, mine is Q1 of 2020, means that I will receive their notification earliest in Dec (if I'm lucky enough) or latest by late Jan or early Feb? ? But you never knows, maybe there will be further delay. ? I do login to My HDBPage every day, hoping to see there's an update of the status but nothing at all. ? Oh well, I just have to see how it goes ba. ? So you will start your reno after CNY right and will there be hacking involved?

Items purchased during SALES! (Updated on 4 Mar) Hello Peeps, so sorry there is no update of my blog since Aug. I'm still waiting for HDB to notify me for the Key Collection (1st Qtr of 2020). So I decided to side track a bit and share some of the things I bought online during the recent sales. HAHA! Digital Door Lock – bought it on 27/08/2019. Bought this digital door lock bundled from Lazada and the bundled consist of a Metal Gate lock (YDR50G) and Push and Pull Door lock (YMI70). The bundle also come with 2 free gifts - YSFT 25ET Safe ($159) + Smoke Detector ($73.9) but the down side of this free gift is that you need to redeem it personally at Kaki Bukit TechPark, within 2 months from the purchase date. During the 11.11 – I have bought the following items and I think I save quite a fair bit during the sales. Frap Rainfall shower set at $87.0.

KitchenAid - 4.8L Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer (Apple Green) at $549.0 A quick update on the things I have bought recently (not from 12.12).? When I browsed through Gain City Website a couple of days/weeks ago and notice that there's an on-going sale on some of the home appliances.? The price for all the items I've shortlisted seems quite reasonable and within my budget.? On Sunday (5 Jan), I decided to head down to Gain City @ Marina Square to do some shopping. It happens that they are conducting a mini fair on weekends and the price is slightly lower than what it shows in their website (ranging from $10 - $100). So, I decided to place my order for the following items; Gain City Aircon - Daikin system 2 @ $2,689 (MKS65tVMG) Build-in Oven - Brandt @ $1,249 (BXP6555B) Gas Hob 2 burner - Brandt @ $359 (TG1482B-PUB) Cooker Hood - Brandt @ $399 (AT1490X) new 2 Door Fridge - Samsung @ $799 (RT35K553ASL/SS) Washing Machine (front load) - Ssmsung @ $939 (WW90K6410QW) 55" QLED Smart TV - Samsung @ $1,999 (QA55LS03RAKXXS) 5.1CH Soundbar - Samsung @ $699 (HW-Q60R/XS) new For item 2 to 5, there's a further discount of $310 in total by Gain City.
