va|er1e 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 Hello guys, finally we got the chance and time to start a topic here Well, Renovation has FINALLY started and we are so so so happy Things haven been going on smoothly for us, we have problem with HDB on the house defects and it drag for months yet nothing good has been done. Next was the searching of IDs; After talking to few IDs, we finally signed up with one of them yet later had a major dispute with him but we manage to get back our money, and then the cycle of searching of IDs repeats again Here is our floor plan, have collected our keys long long ago on 24th October 2007 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

va|er1e 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 Thanks everyone Angel81, ya now then start reno cos' we wasted alot of time on HDB defects, also not in a hurry to move in pinkpetter, ya so sickening lor bubble-ling, ya and I kind of dislike my long living room though it look so spacious. Where is your reno-blog huh? porkypig, yes we are enjoying the reno now. In fact we are so glad that we had the dispute with him before our reno and not in the mids of our reno. Lucky lor! vin13, yap you can right BTW, I am currently staying at street 64 my mum's place... really dislike the fact that I have to walk so far to the MRT that's why never choose that area again cos MRT will be even further away lor. applefreak, ya premium flat for premium problems sunset, if you got the energy then try to bug them everyday until they cannot stand you lor. HDB only know how to forward our email/concern to the subcon. Just like a router, they do nothing after they forward them... and when you bug more, they want you to meet them together with the subcon saying they do not understand your requirements. After meetup, they say they will rectify... but either the same problem is still there or they create another defects. Then the cycle goes round and round again and again. We gave up after like 5 months. rdnest, hehe too much photos dunno which to post here also. mmycheng, yeah I will... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
va|er1e 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 This is our space-planning layout. Nothing really special except that we need to have a slanted hob to face some auspicious direction. This is the part that challenged alot of IDs, some of those we engage just MIA properly because they do not know how to do so or that they are not confident at all From the proposal given, we will be able to tell who can design and who can't... There is this particular ID who gave us very weird layout and then told us we have to live with the ugly layout because of our geomancer's requirement. I dunno why this kind of people still call themselves 'Interior Designer' and then can admit her layout is ugly and told us "I can't do magic, you will have no choice but to live with it since your kitchen is so small and need to have a slanted hob".

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 I agree with you totally. If they are a real ID they should be able to solve problems and beautify everything. Give ideas and such. IF cannot then have them for WHAT?! Anyway I'm glad you have found someone and a slanted hob not ugly what... not bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
