Today PUB is going to turn on my tap and the renovation will start tommorrow. Wish me luck. Let me first start by posting my layout here. The only thing I don like about this flat is that the rubbish chute is located in my balcony. Edited April 27, 2010 by jtcp82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ngunadi 2 Report post Posted April 27, 2010 The only thing I don like about this flat is that the rubbish chute is located in my balcony. You can use tall plants and make it like a wall garden to cover up the rubbish chute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtcp82 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2010 Contractor quoted me about 37K for doing up my kitchen, 3 toilets, piping, rewiring, main door, gate, balcony window grill, Aircon for 4 rooms, capentry works. This excludes toilet and kitchen accessories. He will bring me down to geylang to choose wall and flooring tilesfor toilet and kitchen, toilet bowls and basins. Here are some of the photos of the existing condition of the flat. Will be keeping the living room tiles as it is still in good condtion. Same goes for the staircase. Have purchased a 6+1 dining table. Hmm... hopefully it is not too cramp to put in my dining area as i will be placing a shoe rack there too. A view of my balcony area with the ugly rubbish chute. We intend to deck up the balcony to be leveled with our living room. This will be in the least of my priority. Will do it if I still have budget left. Tearing down the whole kitchen. My new kitchen will be in white and black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here are some of the photos of the existing condition of the flat. Correct me if I'm wrong but any contractor that bring me to geylang for tiles and sanitary ware would set off an alarm. The prices there are definitely not cheap ... Maybe you want to go to Jalan Besar for sanitaryware and Balestier for lightings and tiles to compare the prices before going to geylang. We heard so many horror stores where contractor bring clients to the expensive shops (with possibility to earn commission). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
