  1. week 3 - 4 craft bricks arrived and went up the wall~! ordered 15 cartons and they came repacked in 8 bigger cartons instead. my sink and its legs
  2. week 2 aircon up, but realized i have to change the placing of the aircon versus the first placing decided for the fan coil blower (which turned out to be a blessing in disguise or else cannot open wardrobe door ). also had to decide if the trunking should go inside or outside of the rooms. i have never made so much decisions in my life. at the same time, wall is being flushed with calcium silicate.
  3. hihi, yes! is punggol thank you and we went through a lot of headaches for the house. most residents realized that the corridor is too near to our service yard (any spiderman wannabe can just jump into my unit from the corridor), so all the resident contactable came together and sign a petition to do up a privacy barricade to prevent burglary and unwanted attention.
  4. Fast forward another 5 months, my house is almost complete with furniture set in. we collected our keys in july, but only started the renovation in august due to changes and whatnots. My threaded blog is so neglected that I had to do a search for it. *shame on me* I shall do a week by week, the reno was not very extensively done, but I now love my new house. We will be moving in by the 1st week of November. week 1 some re-wiring and ceiling works. shifting the powerpoint plug if not it will be directly above the stove, dont understand why hdb does this kind of designs. living room dining area cove lights kitchen bases and tiles done up by end of week 1 brought along my little daiso chair, so that i can sit whenever i have to spend too long a time in the dusty, empty house.
  5. Hi all, not sure if this has been discussed before. Tiler and ID had advised to paint the brick wall but we decided to keep it the way it was. Now, we see cracks on the grouting between the bricks. What can i do to rectify this?
  6. Hi may I ask how many down lights did u use to light up ur living area? Thank you Oh and also, may I ask if the milo tin.lights are from modulux too? If theyare from taobao, may I ask how do I look for them in mandarin?
  7. What a cozy place. May I also ask for the fan brand and model? Thank you
  8. Dining Lights? Spoilt for choices!
  9. Lights, lights, lights! Lights for the children's room is fairly easy, but for the rest of the rooms, toilets and walkways, I'm lost. Here are some of the lights I like. Should I use this for the corridor? This is tentatively for the study area Isn't this so pretty? Guest Room
  10. Oops, hubby say title should be "OUR first home" instead of "My" but I don't know how to change. We decided that it's ok as whats mine is his and his, mine. Alright, I have questions that I hope forummers can help me. We want a brick wall and decided that one piece of wall will be done, however there is this part of the wall that goes in, i dont know how to explain but will attach pictures below. How can i get rid of this dented part because I want my brick wall surface to be straight. Thank you for your help.
  11. Kitchen Hanger in the service yard One of the common rooms Fast forward 8-10 weeks, I got my HLE approved yesterday!
  12. Well not literally, but this is first time the hubby and I buy something so big and it belongs to us, not our parents. We feel like adults! LOL This is the floor plan. We chose a 5rm since both of us come from big families, have 2 daughters and another baby on the way (just got to know ). We haven’t collect our keys but sneaked into the construction site one fine Sunday because the main gate was left open wide. We were so skeptical that that new HDB houses will be very small, however we were quite pleased when we saw the actual product. There was a china man cleaning our windows that day because there would be an inspection the following day. Gate Living Room Views from different corners

  14. Hi, really like how ur brick wall and tiles are coming. May I ask where can I find the pendant lights in the first picture?
  15. Thank hbk16 and zlr for your replies. Even thought i was shakened, i have to be fair to summit, ***** called me up about a week later to clarify and talked to me. I somewhat feel more balanced and assured that they do value their clients. I still like summit a lot based on how much I have seen on Renotalk and how ***** suggested to me ideas and designs. Dear zlr, would you mind sharing with us pictures of your newly done condo? I would like to see if you are ok.
  16. dear all, are there any forwarders to recommend to help bring in large items from overseas (eg taobao) to sg?
  17. dear pinkwhale, i love your home so much. would you mind sharing with me your contractor and the cost? thank you!
  18. hi, may i ask for your contractor's contact too? thank you
  19. love your house! so beautiful. do you mind pm'ing me the contacts of your id and quotations? thank you so much.
  20. oh and, any review about Shah is greatly appreciated. thank you in advance.
  21. Dear all, I went to summit 2 weeks back and met *****, who gave me lots of ideas on my soon-to-come bto flat (jun/jul), he was able to keep within my budget of about 18k. i was quite happy to meet him. fast forward 2 weeks, after i left the joo chiat office, i have not contacted him since my bto is not ready and i thought i should let him take his time to work on the quotations. to my dismay, instead of himself, Shah emailed me that she will be taking over my project(due to ***** will be on course and he can't manage). i was kind of disappointed because should he being unable to take my case, he could have drop me an email and told me about it, then probably introduce me to another id - seeing that how personalized they are towards the rest of their clients found here. i just find it very abrupt to have someone else emailed me when i spoke to ***** for almost 2 hours and someone else takes the job. right now, im not thinking of changing to another company because i have seen their works on this forums, thanks to everyone's generosity and courtesy of their photos. my question is, has anyone engaged Shah?
  22. anyone going for it? any idea whats the price range and when it be ready for balloting?
