Just sharing some of the inspirations and ideas we managed to grab online (I think many similar photos below has been shared in other t-blogs as well but oh wells)...

Hi Reiken, may I know what free program did you use to change the colours?

May I know roughly how much are your elmark fans each, in ringgit? Can pm me no worries. Thanks.

Wah, that sucks man. I received approval of my AHG/SHG on 9th Dec 2016. I think probably because I'm only eligible for SHG, so they process a little bit faster. Hope you receive good news soon!

Spot on!

Wanted to engage external inspection companies to perform the checks for me but was being turned off by their quotation ($400 for 1 initial check and 2 follow-up checks!) Furthermore, my LR and BRs flooring have not been done up yet, thus I have lesser tiles to check, not worth it to throw money away. Below are some of the photos of the more severe defects during my 1st inspection. With the help of E and my dad, managed to dig out total of about 80 defects. Luckily, none of my toilets and kitchen tiles are defective. *fingers-crossed* Let's just wait for BSC contractors to rectify these defects for now...

My unit is a 4-room flat of 92sqm (including AC ledge). It's considered really small but oh wells, this is what you get for a 4-room flat nowadays, and thankfully me and wife aren't that big size either. The bombshelter is located in the kitchen that in turn, gives us more space in the LR, which is exactly what we wanted. Can host mahjong session in the LR Initial Floor Plan Our Basic Requirements 1. Spacious MBR and LR 2. Walk-in wardrobe 3. Work area 4. Long mirror cabinet in MBR toilet 5. High Resilient Vinyl Flooring for LR and all BRs 6. Overlay of floor and wall tiles in MBR toilet 7. Bottom cabinet only for hob side, top and bottom cabinet on the opposite side 8. Scandinavian style, with maybe a little pinch of Industrial feel Contractors/IDs Selection 1. Chun Xiang Renovation Pte Ltd I shall skip the scouting process as I'm too lazy to recall each and every detail of them. In summary, I've approached a couple of IDs and Main Cons, but none of them fits my budget with the requirements, except for Edmund (in short I'll just call him E here) from CX Reno. Actually he was introduced to me by a close friend, and I've personally went down to their new house to witness their fine carpentry's workmanship. One thing good about them is that they're already a registered reno contractors with HDB and it will make the approval process of the reno smoother and faster. New Floor Plan with my Idea 1. Sealing up BR2 actual door, and hacking a door linking BR2 with MBR. Making BR2 into a walk-in wardrobe and work area. 2. Changing the direction of MBR door to have better accessibility into walk-in wardrobe.

I am thinking of going down to Tampoi Lighting at JB to purchase some ceiling lights (Philips) and fans (Fanco/Elmark/Vento). However, I have a driving license but I do not own a car and will only be heading down via cab. From what I enquired from Tampoi Lighting, they no longer provide delivery of purchased products to Singapore anymore? As such, how do I make sure I can bring all the bulky lights and fans back to Singapore? If I rent a car, drive in, purchase, and drive back, will I be stopped at the customs for the overseas purchase and get charged with taxes? Advices please. Thanks.

Any reviews for the CLICKMASTER resilient vinyl flooring from Korea? 1) how much was the quotation psf (inclusive of gst) ? 2) wear layer of 0.3 - 0.5mm? 3) does it wear and scratch easily? 4) eco-friendly? Thanks

Hi all, I've recently just booked my new 4-rm SBF flat and I'll be getting my keys soon. My flat does not comes with flooring for living room and 3 bedrooms. Only HDB default floor and wall tiles in kitchen and 2 toilets. I will be going for resilient vinyl flooring all living room and 3 BRs. Kitchen and toilet floor and wall I'm going for homogeneous tiles. I will be appealing for HDB cement screeding in order for me to lay the vinyl flooring. I will also plan to hack down partial of the kitchen wall and 1st bedroom wall. Can any laojiaos here provide me a checklist of the renovation process I should check or receive from renovation contractors? (not going for ID) Some people say flooring goes first, electricity goes first, wetwork/masonry works goes first, plumbing or aircon piping etc. But I am not too sure for my case. The renovation should involves the following, if I'm not wrong: 1) hacking of walls, 2) vinyl flooring installation / homo tiles overlaying, 3) aircon piping, 4) aluminium/glass work for hacked walls, 5) kitchen table top, 6) blinds, 7) electricity/lightings, 8) carpentry (kitchen cupboards, wardrobes etc) 9) painting (walls), 10) plumbing I'm not too sure which one should comes before/after each. Please feel free to add in to the checklist. For all your advices! Thanks.
