hongwen37 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2010 Love your shoe cabinet. Now I start to think to ask Darren to include me the shoe cabinet as well. hehehe... BTW, the electrical work, Plush Living help you to do it or you engage another contractor? Heard that Plush Living electrical works got problem. Did you encounter any so far? I engaged the electrician from Plush Living to do up the electrical... Havent move in and still too early to tell whether there are any problems... Currently, during our visit to the house, all the lights that we switched on turns on... (Havent test all the power points with full load of electricity running yet).

lilithfiend 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2010 I mentioned about the HDB permit to my ID and he said it is legal.. So, i assumed it is ok... He did apply permit to hack away a wall to create an entrance between the Guest Room and the Common Toilet though, but that was not approved... well at least they approved your expansion, lucky you! do you know what was the floor space that your bath was expanded by?

The space extended out is about 1.7m by 0.9m.... Actually it's not considered expansion as only the basin was installed there. So it's still considered dry area as there wouldn't be much splashing of water onto the floor. I installed my basin outside the bathroom and in the MBR also, no permit was needed for this. You can take a look at my blog to see the end result. Edited May 18, 2010 by coldflamez Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the funny thing is when i was sourcing for IDs, some said that it is illegal to bring the basin out... Lots of myths & whats right and whats wrong in the industry, I also dont know who to believe... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, by saying it's illegal, the house owner would change the plan and ID would have easier life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
