froggy 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2010 Nice idea of extending your kitchen. I'm guessing you must be quote a great chef! I have to say the kitchen layout for the fernvale vista flats are quite a small and odd shape. Giving me quite a headache to plan my kitchen layout. Haiz .... Hi Flameday You are Fernvale Vista too? You already renovating? Ya lor, I was absolutely "disgusted" when I saw the kitchen on site. So miserable, think i will suffocate working in there ! Was thankful my layout is such I can extend kitchen, those who has their entrance door next to next to kitchen can't do that. So heng ah No chef lah, ha ha, still trying hard to be one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flamedav 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2010 Yep me too. Just got my keys in May before I went overseas. Havent renovate yet, just started going through the pain of selecting ID. I had same feelings when I first saw the kitchen. It was like “wao liao, this place can cook one meh?” Don’t seem to have any work space to prepare big sumptuous meals when having guests. The only relief I have is when I saw the kitchens in Hong Kong. Many are even smaller. Ok lah, maybe we just need to get used to it. Hi Flameday You are Fernvale Vista too? You already renovating?

joseeng 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2010 hi froggy, forget to tell u tat after you collect your keys, you are supposed to check for defects and submit your defect list if any. after which the hdb contractor will schedule a date for the defect rectification. so be prepared tat you may not be able to start reno immediately after your key collection.

Hi Joseng What do we look out for? Does the HDB give a list? And from your experinece, how long does this rectification take? So coincidental, I think I just asked this same question in another blog - this recitification and reno cannot start tog? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So coincidental, I think I just asked this same question in another blog - this recitification and reno cannot start tog? There's no strict and fast rule that rectification and reno cannot start together. We started reno and those HDB pple came to rectify while workers are working on ceiling work. This way I do not have to be present. My ID just instruct his workers to check after rectification done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flamedav 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Actually HDB contractor not that bad nowadays. No defects found when I scan through my flat. So not definately that you will need to go through the retrification process. Hi Joseng What do we look out for? Does the HDB give a list?
