Ur house layout is exactly the same as my current place... 4A corner unit, lift upgraded too Even flooring also the same... mine is 400 series...near to tampines JC. yours? Are you going to re-do the flooring? This flooring is original from HDB since 1987 (i think) the year this block was built! I'm going to select bigger tiles...preferably homogenous tiles for all bedrooms and living room. Kitchen tiles i will select ceramic...and different ceramic floor and wall tiles for both toilets. spam chop your reno begins in spring, great day to start a new project this project will be the first one for my dad for the year of the ox. heehhehe.. New year new hope for us all. Happy Happy CNY to everyone here! Staying opposite your parents-in-law block means saving a lot on parking coupons, if you drive.
