hahaha~~~~ yup!! the gas heater only have instant heater, they don't have those water tank~~ The hafary salesperson got mention this problem to us too.. but because last time when we rent house, the owner also use the water tank, then every month when the PUB bill come, we almost cry~ because the electric bill really really high~ So we scare ald, so think for long term~ we will not use the water tank. And because we are staying at low floor, and we find that our water pressure actually quite strong~ So we now just take it as gamble~~~ Bok heng nw~~~haha .... hopefully we won't regret, hopefully the water will not as small as what they say and our rain shower will feel like real rain but not like pee lo~~~ hahaha....

Ooohh...hahaha yea I know what you mean...like pee...den you will really *#&@, cuz u paid SO MUCH for those nice looking rainshowers. I will call citygas later, maybe will opt for that. Since the reno has burnt a big hole in my pocket liao... little bit of savings in the future is a must.

Oh Yea, did you change your windows? They look great!! If they were left previously by the last owner, den you very heng. I forgot to consider all this into the COV, my house also need a brand new set of windows, thats about 3k already without the grilles. And the owner had rock spray on ALL their walls, including bedroom, I had to plaster the whole house at another 2k. And they did not have fire rated door...another 1.5k out....

kookoos lor...now we know.

So guys, before buying the house you really like, check for all this. Could have made you consider twice or haggle more on the COV part... heeee

The water pipe will run on the floor

This is our toilet conceal pipe~

From common toilet can see me in the master bedroom toilet~~haha... They will box up the pipe and they can conceal the mixer too.

The water piping can conceal? I also wanted to conceal the piping for my 2 toilets but my ID say HDB not allow lei...isit true?

My window were left by the previous owner~ the condition still fine so we not going to change~ We remove all the grilles because some of them spoil~ but we're not going to replace new grilles too~haha..

Wa~~ after u mention i only know leh~~ Thanks for your information~ Will let my sister know also, she's going to buy resale flat too..

I heard from my sis in law, if want to remove the rock spray will cost you a bomb, haha .. my contractor use partition board to cover some of the wall tiles~ bec he say no point to spent the money to hack the tiles, so he use partition board then cover with the water proof paint, he say is cheaper~ Will this cheaper than plaster? Maybe you can check with your contractor too..

Hahahaha.... Sshhhhh........ actually it's true la~~ really can't conceal~ but you check the reno blog, so many of the owner also conceal, some of them hack the concrete part some more~~ hahaha.... some of the ID and contractor not willing to do this, bec if really got any problem, is their responsibility~

My mixer actually is not conceal~ I will built a partition wall at there to box up my pipe~ So this not consider conceal, it's hide in the partition wall~~~~ hahahahah.....
