titanax 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) that glass basin actually looks quite serviceable, provided it goes through some major sterilization! There goes your DB box...."hiding" in the middle of your hse.... that is a really dumb place to put the db box, i have no idea how the electrician managed to convince the previous owner to put it there!

lachesis 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2010 Hack hack...opss...its already 4th day liao..cannot hack, wait neighbor complaint...so today is dismantling, dismantling only Thanks for all the photos! It's been a crazy week at work - can't drop by the house in person, but your photos are as good as being there. It's so exciting to slowly see all the old stuff being HULKSMASHED away. Mwahahaha Wardrobe...FOC....self collection...anyone?Bidding time end 2359H. Haha.. Any takers?? then tell him nicely to do day shift during ur reno period lo. Unfortunately we can legislate against blatant stupidity. I would understand if the noise levels are generated after ófficial'hours. Hmm.. in future when doing reno, need send letters to all household directly "connected" to your hse.. state when u reno so they can plan their time table in advance, esp those working night shift.. mayb next tm would be a must liao.. @Darth vader - You the MAN...lol. Maybe can try using the FORCE on him... @JCase - You are so right. Common sense is NOT common at all! @Fencer - sounds like a great idea. The letter will go "Dear neighbour. I just bought the house next to/above yours. Reno will commence on [date]. It WILL DEFINITELY be noisy and dusty during the day. If you are working the night shift, please switch shifts with someone, or find somewhere else to sleep. Please declare on the form attached if there are any leaks/cracks/defects that are already existing in your house. If we do not hear from you, we will get a HDB TO to come and inspect your house before we start our reno. We look forward to a cordial neighbourly co-existence with you. Thank you. Warmest regards, Your new neighbour" Oops, a little belated, but CONGRATS titanax and lachesis on your reno starting! And your downstairs neighbours are really -___-. Hope everything will be resolved smoothly and quickly, and you can focus on your reno! Hey, thanks! Glad to see things are progressing well on your side, aside from the little boo boo with the bathroom wall. Your tiles look nice..and the green hopper is d.a.m.n funky! Heh heh. I hear you on settling furkids in a new place. Our younger one, Fifi hid behind the computer table for DAYS and only ventured out at night when everyone had gone to bed. She's much better now. The older one, Tinker took to the place with no problems - he's lived here before as a kitten, and has now claimed the coffee table as his. Think his only complaint now is he gets picked up and carried around a lot more than he would like to be, b'coz my SIL and MIL like to play with him. LOL. But back to reno - yeah, hopefully things can be resolved, esp with a HDB officer intervening, and we can just focus on doing up our place. that is a really dumb place to put the db box, i have no idea how the electrician managed to convince the previous owner to put it there! Something tells me it wasn't the previous electrician who put it there, but HDB... Can't wait for the weekend - it'll be the end of a yucky work week, and can go up and see the house! 1am liao - TGIF everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
