Lai's Modern Classic Home

Recommended Posts

This is my modern classic home in tpy and have just started our reno...

a little hiccup today as we couldn't believe that the haulage fees are soooooooooooooooooooo expensive :) can you imagine we went to hdb town council, hdb main office and the hdb branch office and the amt that they gave us was just $220.50 + $187.25 when the main hdb contractor told us its $1100????? really wanted to :rolleyes:

watever it is, I'll still see how it goes by and hope that hdb (who told me that they'll liaise with the contractor)will give me a proper answer by mon....

ok...so here's some pics that i hope everyone who drops in will enjoy!

welcome to renotalk

hope to see more pix of your renovation progress :(

hi pple, thanks for the reply.... have already started most of the things and this week we'll be focusing on floorworks!:(! yippeee!!

however, one :notti: issue is that i've settled the with hdb w rgds to the sum of money to pay for haulage and overhaul and guess what??? they say that tpy is a matured estate and also with the price increase for sand, thus we'll have to pay 1.1k(thank God for Cement screed by hdb then my price decreased to $800).

Can you imagine those staying under financial aid in our blk under the SERs programme?? how much can they afford to pay??? and some more the amt of old pple living in my estate is quite a lot, how much can they pay?? the contractor even told me that ask the old and poor for hdb to cement screed their floor lor cos no choice!! wat kind of :huh: is this??? sigh.... wat to do now? just pay and look on the bright side of things lor!!

hi mace and applefreak,

will definitely upload more pics!! thanks for dropping in and oh yeah!! the haulage is :furious:MAD!:notti:!:(!:huh:!

hi jamez,

thanks!:( am really enjoying the process hehe and have been going up to my new flat everyday to check that everything is ready!!all the way!!

btw, when I say wallpaper tiles, it means that when its laid on the wall, it will look like wallpaper but its actually tiles so its much cheaper....

nice coffee table... care to share where u got it from & how much?

hello cutebear and cornetto,

my dining and coffee table are both from om in liang court!! really love the service by michael (their marketing exec) and the thoughtfulness of the boss to provide coffee and tea in the showroom. their furniture's quite cheap and it includes delivery.... the prices are as follows:

1. fiamma dining table: 1088

2. 6 chairs: 500++(not shown in pic)

3. uno coffee table: $600

4. cream colored carpet:$570

was given a 25%discount becos i was one of the first few customers at the home and deco fair last week... however, do go and check it out...when i was in the showroom, they actually go by appointment timing for you to choose your furniture and also a lot of designers actually bring their clients there to select furniture.... do go down and have a look if your theme's modern classic.

Actually i did go to furniture club, lorenzo, mondi initially.. but in the end..... om still wins!:)

ok then folks Enjoy!! and definitely will upload more pics here!!! my toilet and floor will be done this week!! hurray!!1 :yamseng:

just a few pics to share on the progress of my new home...

tips for choosing downlight:

1. there must be a device for you tilt your plc bulb so as to prevent breakages.

2. atco bulbs for downlights are the best cos its direct from germany..osram is second best.. most suppliers will just anyhow provide so do ask your contractor before installing so that we can save as much as can be...

have yet to post anything for quite a long time and thus will be showing some pics..

went to lookz on sun with my id after our 79ers blk party and was quite happy w my id for providing invaluable advise on the selection of my basin and accessories... the amt that we spent was well within our budget and all in all, it was a happy day!

just some notes to share:

1. shld u decide to have a rainshower installed, do consider if u want one with concealed piping cos u need to talk to ur contractor beforehand so that he can do somthing to help u conceal. if not, then u'll have to get those with shoulders/ unconcealed piping...
