aves 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2008 Went up to take a look yesterday evening. Tiling progress is good. Left 2 rooms floor tiles, kitchen floor tiles and all the skirting plus some small corners need to be filled up. Heres some pics Common toilet wall and floor tiles. Kitchen wall tiles, Cabinet side. Only middle part tiled cos the rest will be covered with cabinets Kitchen wall tiles exposed side. Notice the tiles are not purely white? That's cos its got some 'floral' or 'leafy' patterns on it. Looks like stains in the pics. This is one of the headache things we found after hacking. The hole below is the rubbish chute. There is a door on top hidden by carpentry previously. Now we gotta build our top kitchen cabinets all the way to the back to hide this ugly door. Apparently, this can only be found on top floors and according to HDB, this 'door' has to be kept accessible... Thats all for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aves 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2008 seriously i have no idea but i guess its to access the rubbish chute? kinda lame imo and the lock and hinges give me the idea that it has nv been opened before for the whole 19yrs the flat been built. we're still gonna 'seal' up the back portion of the cabinet either way. just pray that they wun need to access it. if need then need to break my cabinet liao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2008 I was wondering.. I saw a few top floor units... 10+ when I was hunting.. also never notice. Maybe they are like you put cabinet... but.. Maybe they Dun care about HDB and tiled it up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aves 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) yea maybe other ppl dont care lor. i also ask my ID if can dun care. he say can but anything happen next time he wont be responsible lor. so i think better play it safe la. anyway went up during the weekend to see. now only skirting for the rooms and living area. then the kerb for the kitchen cabinets need to be up before tiling the kitchen floor. plaster materials already up and plastering should start today... also ordered our hood and hob from aerogaz. bought some other misc stuff like bread toaster, electric kettle, steamer, weighing machine and FOC 1 tower fan. almost $900 damage.

aves 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2008 ya aerogaz easy to bargain... the bread toaster listed price 19.90, he gave us for 9.90 only kettle 39.90 we got it for 29 weighing machine no idea but he offered 1 for $10 but we got 2 for $10, LOL steamer forgot liao.... but but but.... the hob and hood i tot i remembered him quoting us for $699 some time ago but he put $799.... i think overall still good deal considering 2 cooker induction hob + slim hood. induction hob if any other brand already easily $900 and above liao.
