bigeyedfish 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2009 Went for material choosing this afternoon. Unfortunately, only managed to take 1 pic of my common bathroom tiles. Was too excited to snap pics of the rest. Initially chose red/ white at contractor's office but changed my mind at SBH. Had a hard time deciding on kitchen colours as the husband and I couldn't compromise. At last, we chose white cabinets with black solid top and yellow glass backing. Reno co doesn't provide 3D drawings so quite difficult to visualize. Master bedroom wardrobe - Black and white Master toilet - Black and white Still awaiting reno permit and it's taking a really long time. 1 week has passed.

bigeyedfish 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2009 Went to Jalan Besar today to survey bathroom accessories. Shortlisted these items from Poh Joo. Any idea whether I can get a better price for something similar? Hoe Kee and GR Link were closed. Maybe going down to Heritage on weekend. Saw some pics from other t-blogs and prices were better. Basin for both common and mbr bathrooms. Not doing vanity top at mbr bathroom cos of the change in bathroom door location. For both common and mbr bathrooms as well. I think the mbr and common bathrooms will have the same accessories. The only difference is in the wall colour. Basin tap Shower mixer Kitchen sink. Something that looks like the one from my old place. Cost $287. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I went to view those in Senja and Segar as well. Looks like normal 5room flats lei the EAs. Bangkit is a good location, so nearby market. We saw 1 that we like in Gangsa. Super big at 151sqm. But asking for cov 30k and above. Overbudget. And needs major overhaul too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigeyedfish 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2009 To all those who did hacking and all, how long did it take for your permit to be approved? My permit has yet to be fully approved, still have 2 items pending and I think it is really taking a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
