Rasp 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2010 Hi Everyone, I have been reading this forum, soaking tons of info that everyone here contribute ever since I signed my OTP in Sep 09 to get this HDB 5rm in Shunfu. 1st Appt is scheduled on 1st Dec and I est my 2nd appt will be around mid Jan or so. Have been spending almost every weekend looking at reno stuff and also trying very hard to get quotes from all the good contractors recommended by friends here. I am leaning to engage a contractor and not an ID as my reno is rather simple type. Will try to update and post more photos upon getting my keys in Jan 2010, meantime here is my floorplan. Initial plan is to 1. Redo both toilets and kitchen, meaning everything to go. Reposition common toilet door to enable me to fix a glass shower screen there as well as the MBR 2. Laminate for my bedrooms and probably Living/Dining area as well. 3. Level up the balcony to make the living room more spacious 4. Rewiring whole house 5. Replaster whole house wall and ceiling 6. Carpentry works for wardrobe in all bedrooms Any suggestion welcome as I plan to confirm the contractor in Dec, probably would not rush for CNY Handover as it is almost impossible. Thanks Hi Eugela, Congrats on getting the keys and starting your reno. We got the same layout too. Hee.. I seen 5 t-blog with this layout and all of us came up with different layout after reno. Hee.. looking forward to seeing your completed works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eugela 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2010 Almost a week after my reno started, few days back, drop over to check it out and saw this truck full of our debris: When we went up our place, we noticed the wall at the entrance foyer was gone - good, meaning the 2nd HDB approval is OK New toilet entrance And as we were leaving, saw this lorry unloading cement, pipe, hollow blocks for us We should be able to get most of our tiles laid before CNY holidays according to Michael, crossing our fingers.
