Sue79 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2009 post the tiles u selected and also the carpentry lamination! So u gonna extend your kitchen!? Alamak!! Tiles selected liao but they in the husband's car, the samples I mean...Nuthing so interesting leh...I see all oso like very common liao...so nuthing very fantastic... Kitchen yeah lor..have to...dat's the most headache I have since we signed the OTP...But wat to do...since no COV is needed then and unit is sold at below valuation, we juz go ahead lor with the purchase. Money for COV can be used for reno instead..thats what we thought at least ah...the only consolation for us...coz the unit is really bare lor and really needs alot to be done.. I will post pics soon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've gotta say the pre-reno state of your place seems a whole lot better than many of the others I've seen here, including mine. Here's to a smooth transformation of your new home from what it is now to what you want it to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, I also hope to learn from you guys....SIFUs...so pro in reno liao... Oh you met Yeak today??...Yeah lor he so busy lately.

Here's to a smooth transformation of your new home from what it is now to what you want it to be. Thanks macbart!!Actually the unit is a D&B one...so the previous owner has lived with whatever has been provided by HDB for the past 6 years or so. In short nothing much has been done to the unit except for the low cabinets in the kitchen & the platform with laminates in the MBR and everything else looked pretty worn out though it looked clean.. Actually we were contemplating to do a major overhaul or maybe just some minor renovations...but after some thoughts, we decided to go for a major overhaul. To cater exactly to our needs and since there is no intention to move out after this, so mite as well do everything at one go now before we move in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife's comment when I showed her the pix you posted was, "Design & build? Why did HDB use such horrible tiles and fixtures in the bathroom?" It's good that you get exactly what you want, especially since you're planning on staying there long term. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
