ok finally.. carpentry r up! for kitchen cabinets, we went for laminates wif a rustic feel.. hopin for somethin different hee kitchen cabinet without the doors. with doors fixed. bi-fold door for top cabinets, pull-out drawers for bottom cabinets. left hand corner pull out drawer wil b used to put our rice cooker due to limited worktop space..hubby's gd , rite hand corner wil b ingrediants rack notice the hole in the wall portion between top and bottom cabinate? tat's where our dish racks wil b hee. cos din wana waste the space (we had this recess in area between 2 pieces of wall) by juz doin a box up, so id came up wif the idea of customising the dish rack and puttin it there..which we felt was reali a gd idea to utilise tat space only bad news is tat there's some kok up. and our kitchen colours r mixed up. tat means the lighter colour shld b for top cabinet, and darker one at the bottome instead gota live wif this for abt 2 wks but id has promised to get carpenter to redo the doors and laminates and once ready, wil come and redo for us. but i guess this colour not tat bad too? at least the 2 colours were wat we choose

thanks darrenelle! hee yap carpentry are up already except for a mirror to cover up bomb shelter door hee. haven got time to post pics. hopefully everythg goes smoothly cos preliminary handover is this sat. and we shiftin in on sun 8/6/08! haha. **** rushed. oic.. din know tat.. wow tat means my house is so dusty!! thanks missyling! nex up wil b carpentry pics hey thanks thanks! hee. yap tink the colours we've choosen all quite dark.. actually hubby prefer those light colours and brighter place.. but ok la he quite pleased wif red wall hee. on tue i was there and saw workers workin hard in ur place leh hee. they seems to b plasterin somethin..is tat ur feature wall? or plasterin the walls hee. lookin fwd to c ur blog and pics! yap. tat's rite hee. cos we wana make it straight to b parallel wif our tv feature wall it acts as a display niche and at the side we've requested for shelvings so tat we can use the corner as a readin corner and store books at the side of the false wall hee.

welcome to JW which part of JW r u at? waitin for more pics

hi junxian, i did mine for below 20k includin elect works and grilles as well.. so i guess shldnt b a prob for u to get urs done below 20k la..since u're also hackin away the mbr wall and turnin it into WIW juz like ours rite let me know if u need help or wish to take a look at our quotation hi apprye, welcome, neighbour.. hee. mayb u'll like to join in the JW st 64 thread too.. http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?sh...mp;#entry302995 can oso update the list wif ur blk no.

hi joemit7850, yap i tink so.. though when we applied and selected the flat tat time we din know abt it.. but when we asked bsc ppl over to do rectifications, tink they did mention the flat abt 7yrs old... tink it was durin sars period so hdb din release as mkt down, and oso due to other flats in JW area not taken up. tat's wat i've gathered so far

hmm time for some updates! hee. colours at last! duno wat's wrong wif my stupid camera.. some of the pics got white dots or patches.. dun b mistaken nothin like tat on the walls bomb shelter cum tv console red wall with lights on area where tv is to b hung with laminate on

o no prob la.. dun mention it hee. hope it helps u to get a better idea of ur layout too since u've yet to collect the keys to view the interior hee. but hopefully u can stil c how the original layout is cos i tink for both of us, we changed the "shape" of the house a bit.. hee

hmm i guess mayb the bigger furniture shops focus more on sofa, dining set, etc.. not on bookshelves which the profit margin might not b as high? i oso duno... ok.. guess gota go ikea to take a look this wkend. hopefully can find somethin i like there. ya tink gota get hubby to assemble already haa.. thanks for sharing

thanks for the replies fanguojun & yokine9a. Have arranged for them to come down to take a look tomorrow so as to give me a more accurate quote hee. hopefully it's reasonable, else i'll surely b gettin more quotes

hi, need a reliable mover at good price. any recommendations? actually we dun have many items to shift..juz a wardrobe, queen size bed, dresser, and 2 bedside tables.. and oso other loose items. called up one company to ask for a rough quote juz now and was quoted $170 cos currently my MIL's place not lift landing level. is it considered reasonable?

hi, any good recommendations where to find wide range / lots of choices of workstations & bookshelves at highly affordable prices other than ikea or vhive? wana get a study table for my study room and also some shelving and racks.. went to vhive but dun reali have anythin i fancy and hubby find the prices a bit on high side. tink gota go ikea to have a look. but one thing is we gota pay delivery n installation charges rite? which r quite expensive...

ic.. but sometimes if u wan delay tink can request hdb to delay ur keys collection. else might b faster than 3 mths leh. hmm dun worry, tink shld b hdb side kok up la. mayb call the officer ask abt the status then feel more at ease. haha..understand ur excitement. i oso wish my reno done and i shifted in already...cant wait hee. we shall arrange tonite

ok, check ur PM hmm sometimes hdb reali kok up one. juz ignore the notice if u've submitted. tink tat time hdb oso requested me to submit some docs..which i already did. but if u wana get ur keys fast, can try calling to "fan" the officer. tink it works

o saw it.. it's the one at blk 900+ there.. mayb can try this link http://www.map.gov.sg/StreetMap/

sure, u can pop by if u're there. for me i haven moved in hee. but it's ok. reno shld b 60% done. now waitin for carpentry to b up. juz installed lights today hee. ID said shld b able to handover by sat 7/6/08 we plannin to shift in on 8/6/08 actually haha

o u mean the stadium over at 900+ there? ok nex time can go try hee. ya i guess jurong point would b the most convenient ba. but if at home, then lazy to walk there, gota go nearest coffeeshop da bao hee.

wow u gota wake up so early everyday. no co transport? ok no prob, so make sure to join us if there r any gatherings. any idea when u'll b gettin the keys?

wow.. wat a string of posts hee. aiya if i know response so gd, would have suggested organisin a gatherin earlier so i take it tat harold, jjcian, junxian all onz ah? but now it's the date and activity. hee. Anyone else interested in a gathering? mayb we shld start a separate thread for it hee o then for me and hubby, quite familiar in west area. though me only stayed in west for abt 8yrs i tink. previously stayin in marine parade. sometimes stil miss the east hee. hubby stayed in cck for more than 10yrs. so he's more familiar wif this area than me. durin courtship days, he familiarise me wif west area haha wow jjcian ur wkplace reali quite far. lucky harold, at least can ride to wkplace. then junxian, currently u stayin at which part? so now goin to ur wkplace quite time consuming? hee. so tat means jjician shld b the most old bird one. shld bring us to explore JW hee. so far, the places u guys mentioned we've all been there. but jurong point already very familiar to us, cos even before we applied for the flat, already goin to JP quite frequently gota explore places near our house where we can da bao food...cos i dun tink i'll b cookin often haha. ya, SS's stuff r normally quite cheap..esp their food items i tink sometimes reali much cheaper compared to other supermarkets. yap agree tat gota look at the expiry date and packagin though sometimes some frozen stuff might not look as fresh as ntuc's one.. but i tink they've reali improved. actually our place in the middle of all these "malls n supermkts" so i'll say we have a lot of choices ya i tink the cocoa smell stil ok, foreign workers..sometimes rather disturbing. mayb for gals find it kinda not so safe in this area. as for airplanes ok la, slowly gettin used to it..not like initially reali found it quite deafening

oic.. tat's gd. wow.. diy.. can save money and shld have a stronger sense of "belonging" i guess hee. hmm i tink i know wat u mean..cos my MBR light oso have a layer of acrylic below..oops but i din reali chk so thoroughly..duno whether got any scratches or cracks not. slowly lor.. if u're not in a hurry to shift in, i tink shld b fine hee.

yap i believe RT ppl r a frnly bunch actually been thinkin to sugg some kinda gatherin to know more neighbours.. juz duno how response wil b like o i guess if there's ahg might take a bit longer.. but dun worry, u've already secured a unit guess after this balloting, our area shld b more or less fully occupied dun worry..i guess he meant tat since there'll more ppl doin reno, the place might get more dusty. (right, jjcian?)

hmm most likely they'll b ok one. or c those more frnly ones then u ask lor.. those who got open door hee. but i guess some of us stil doin reno, stil quite easy to go in take a look. today while we were there, also met a couple comin down to take a look at the units..cos they selecting this wk. invited them in to take a look so tat they know how's the layout like. cos they were askin me y the units at the other corridor very few ppl take hee. o..mine's oso same as jjcian hee. so i guess urs shld b the mirror image of ours

o reali? got bad comments abt them ah.. din know tat. we're quite hapi wif their svcs so far. my current sys 3 in MIL's place, my mum's place sys 2 and now new home's sys 3 all got from them one. ours oni come wif 1 installation, so gota instal everythg at one go. haha ya lor, but bus fare wasnt the issue, it was the hot weather..at least i dun have to cross the rd take feeder bus or walk to jurong point hee. i was oso a bit stun tat the delivery man so nice

hee.. love nest too attractive to delay movin in rite i'm reali lookin fwd to tat too haha.. we were there to make full paymt for aircon since they comin to install yday. din cal out to us? hee hmm hopefully not. i tink shld b able to solve the prob one..dun make sense to have the cracks keep appearing.

yo commando, long time no "talk" hee. so how's ur reno comin along? i guess shld be completed or near completion rite? wow..so gd..tat means actually they can change it one.. hmm mayb i shld go bug them to change for us again hee. as for the main door.. haiz.. dun tink they'll change for us. tink mayb we'll c how it is after the reno then decide whether to insist on a new door. but quite tough since they've touch up our old one. wah thank god but i guess perhaps she cant take the stress so left. guess no one can work there so long..too stressful
