darkfear 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2010 Hello everybody!!!!!! In particular jaskel, fencer, jeffcraze and all the other forum khakis I spoke to! I finally received my keys to my dear home yesterday and hence.... This is my t-blog!!! Will try to keep things up to date and simple here! A little background to my house: It is a 104sqm, 21 year old 4A HDB at Simei... It wasn't our first choice, but like all things that are our own... We are growing to love it! It has a spacious kitchen, 2 bathrooms (one attached in the MBR), and 3 bedrooms! There's a living and dining area available as well !! The tiles are in relatively good condition, and the owner actually has relatively new air conditioner units in each bedroom.. Floor Plan We will upload photos later to give a clearer idea how it is like currently! Now to the contractors/IDs... We spoke to many until my wife gave up, then we spoke to some more, then I gave up, then I came into this forum, and my life just brightened up! Learned so much from other's happiness, and sometimes, bad luck, and of course got to know a few people! Currently, I am talking to a consultant, and man, am I glad I did not sign up with any previous contractors. The previous ones were either pushy, concerned only about their business, inexperienced, expensive or had bad reviews among other things. So through careful sieving through thousands of threads, finally met up with our messiah! Shall not name him yet, as we haven't confirmed the contract, but I think it's a matter of time Well rambled long enough so just want to end of with a big hi to all! And welcome to our world Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marsbars27 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2010 [cont'd] Master Bedroom - L-shaped --> Real pain to think of ways to fit a queen-sized bed and a big big wardrobe Ridiculous bathroom door with lobang at the top: Good-sized Study Room Entertainment Room! Currently, this 4-panel door hides our little "storeroom". Our Consultant has some very exciting plans for it! Can't wait to see the drawings that he's coming up with! Yeah!
