Don't think is expensive. Who you get the quote from, or is it part of the package from your ID?

I just got my keys at Blk 359A. Haven't started reno but will be soon. Check my blog at http://www.homeoftong.com/2008/02/14/my-new-house/ for some shocking photos! Terrible pipe leaking, but the town council fixed the problem in record time, the same morning I went to log the faults they sent the plumber down. I didn't notice till you say about the common toilet sink and bowl color, they are like beige color, not blue definitely!

Here are the photos I took.

So does peach toilet bowl and basin match well with blue tiles (same as ur pic)? Beige or peach colour better to match blue tiles?

blueturtle, are u going ahead with the reno before the defects had been rectified?

[keltong 4]

Wah, so many with IDEAL HOUSE? Heehee...

I also found more defects after submitting the last list. But the HDB Branch Office people are very nice, and will help me to resolve asap.

Only 1 thing where I have been pushed around. My electrical point outside the house the wires are dangling, since outside the house I call the town council, and the story goes like this.

Refer to STC, STC send someone down, say need to refer to PUB, STC refer to PUB water section, say electricity not them, so refer back to STC, STC refer to PUB again, PUB refer back to STC. STC send another one down, say will feedback to STC and shd refer to PUB. Also suggest to refer to HDB. Refer to HDB, HDB refer to STC, STC refer to Power Grid, who in turn refer to SP Services, SP say to refer back to STC, STC than say it's Power Grid's responsibility. Now still pending.

And now I have no electricity in my house, how to start reno?

Hi Leen

hi arwena,

i think you are mistaken. i didn't say my unit got problem. in fact, all the tiles in the unit are in gd condition, the colours are well co-ordinated (i don't have a blue toilet and a pink toilet). all the toiletries are well covered up (i think they want to keep it in gd condition and from breeding mosquitoes). we only get the town council to help us check for white ants and pests but as we are at high floor, there are no problems for us. we didn't even need to change any tiles, do patch up or so. even our contractor also help us to inspect the whole unit's tiling works, those installed pipings and electrical cables and were also vy surprise that the condition is gd. after the renovation, our contractor also say he don't feel like leaving our flat coz vy comfy and cozy feel.

my blk is 468+, 5rm exec type, the round fan shape blks with blue full height windows and that's the theme of the blks there. when we renovated the hse, we adopt the seaside resort theme and after its finished, it looks and feel gd.

there are some photos from previous thread:

now we living comfy in there for 4mths already quiet, serene surrounding. the primary school next to the area wasn't noisy also. but during the daytime, if you go down to the blks with the nursery, you can hear the kids singing they are so cute
