Thanks, thanks. I am thinking of the lighting issue as well. Cannot decide whether to buy the battery type or the wired one. The former will look nicer and neater but the latter will be more convenient, just switch on, no need to charge or change batt. I also worry the light will be too close/strong for comfort. So still trying to figure what to buy and where to place it.

Thanks for the suggestion abt the hook. I bought the hooks but cannot decide where to put them. So will wait a bit till I m more used the plc first to find the right spot.

My reno is completed. Only did kitchen, painting n other small fixtures.

Mine measures abt 26cm by 74cm. But there r 4 protruding corners. So shorter in length for shelving area.

None to give away.

I asked and they did with cement but not the painting. Bcos I d this b4 starting reno, so ID got painter to do it up nicely.

Hi, hi, u started reno? Cranberries is also from Eastcreek.

Yes. Not sure how practical though. Imagine jus finish washing the dishes, the plates will be dripping water, and I try to fill the kettle, then the water droplets will all drip into the kettle. ?

The only good thing out of this is I got more time to do the shopping. Bought 1. 7 pcs of light:$212 2. A Boshini sink $250, 575x450, 1.2mm stainless steel 3. A Sim Siang Choon stainless steel tap $72 4. One Champs Sylphy instant heater $102.80 5. A glass shelf $25, a mirror $28. 6. 6 pcs of curtain brackets $4+ 7. 2 Ikea curtain rods $9.90 each 8 EF 60cm hood and hob from Hoe Kee at $540. (EF and Mayer are the only brands that have 2 yrs warranty fr what I can find. EF has a longer history than Mayer.)

Another delay to my reno. Started a few days before the Malaysia lock down. The carpenter team from Malaysia could not come in. ID jus found a Singapore team to take over last week, have not even started work. Now, back to square one. ?

East Creek.

BTW, I realised that a lot pple avoid posting names of ID, company and px directly on renotalk I m also following this norm. Is there a rule agst it or a reason for doing so?

100 plus GST. I called the company which supply the rack to HDB. Cos the IDs/contractor who did not want to take it on were worried that the rack mechanism may be damaged in the removal process. But they have not issue me receipt till now. Everything is through phone in case u r not comfortable with the arrangement.

I m considering a over the sink rack or smaller ones that can be kept in the cabinet below when the dishes are dry.

3D drawing of my kitchen. Looks bigger than actual. Won't b seeing it take shape any time soon. Workers r stuck in Malaysia.

The only drawback is I need to stand under the rack to use that black rope to adjust the heightof the rack. For safety reason, not suppose to stand under it.

Finally got a contractor willing to move my laundry rack. My ID d not want to do it.

Yes. I went back to check, it is abt a week. But you can choose to defer the collection. I deferred my collection for more than a week. But that was during the Xmas n new year period. I don't hv a lot of choices on the date. Also, I want to choose a auspicious date to open door after the key collection.

I received a notice about 2 months b4 on the probable collection month. For the actual date around a week.

Hi all, found this by chance. Thought to share with all interested in 2 rms bto. https://www.renotalk.sg/unconventional-layouts-for-your-2-room-bto/

It won't block the wall cabinet but I think my head will b brushing against the clothes hang on it when I move abt in the kitchen.

Thanks @mmoh for the info on taking down the laundry rack. Sounds like a lot of work to take it down and relocate it. Found a very similar design of this rack on lazada, cost over 500 bucks. Feels like throwing away money if I don't want the rack. Hi @Cranberries, Nice meeting u neighbour?. I wonder if there is any vendor willing to do a trade-in for the laundry rack.

Hi @Cranberries, I m at East Creek, type 2. Missed all the HDB hints on the drainage piping too. After thinking hard these few days. I have come to accept the sink and the stove on opp side. ? So one side will be fridge, sink n wm, no wall cabinet. I think this may look a little strange, not align, but there will be little restriction on the type of fridge and wm and replacement in future. The other side will b base cabinet with stove and wall cabinet. I m now troubled by the laundry rack. It takes up too much space for such a small kitchen. M considering repositioning it immediately parallel to the window. Wonder if it is possible. Whether it is safe to do so. The screws look like they r partially embedded in the ceiling.

Thanks Ryanyth for your kind words. I had wanted the stove and sink to be in a row. Looks like cannot. Otherwise, the stove will be too close to living room. Also sequence wise, sink shd b on the left of the stove. Uploaded a pic for all to see.

Hi all, I also collected key this week. Open door yesterday. Really stumped by my kitchen bcos the washing machine tap sink, kitchen tap r on the same side of the wall. Now getting kan cheong cos I got no ID, my kitchen layout plan is gone case.
