reglxt 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) By the way, did any of you use citygas for water heater? I'm quite scared of all the pipes but I think better than having water tank... me using storage water tank...had install in service yard (the heater point is in the common toilet and service yard is connected to service yard) see pic below .. piping goes through the window .. dont need to drill any hole on the wall .. bad thing is cannot close window fully.. anyway i am going to have bamboo chick in the service yard so not too bad Edited December 16, 2010 by reglxt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hermione 1 Report post Posted December 17, 2010 oh is it! I didn't know that the clothes rack thing can cost so much... It's blocking my way, cos I'm hacking the service area wall for a bigger kitchen, I won't be able to have the clothes rack there without it being an eyesore, so no choice. Plus I think I won't utilise it much. Maybe I can post up and see who would want it, or store it first. haha, the toilet bowl looks ok! actually the tiles just makes everything so nice... u changed to a glass door too! so nice, i wanted but got to cut costs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermione 1 Report post Posted December 17, 2010 Plastering in the kitchen done halfway... - initial plan was to overlay tiles in the kitchen, but decided to just plaster the walls and keep the floor tiles (save about $3k). More hacking... - was waiting for PE and HDB to approve that one stupid small piece of wall... initially HDB said go ahead, later on then call and say they change their mind, they wanna get PE endorsement. So sickening. Can just change your mind like that one meh? But anyways today contractor say they approve liao. so i'm glad we can finally finish the hacking and go on with life! (notice got bar inside that wall as reinforcement. I think cos it's v slim. but not structurally critical). Sealing up the master bedroom door... Overlaying tiles in the toilets are starting... Extra damage of $500 for the PE to hack that small wall in the kitchen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hermione 1 Report post Posted December 21, 2010 Hey there, just came over to say hi. Floorplan looks good, but the dining area seems a bit far from the kitchen? Anyway, all the best for the reno. Ya lar, it is not the most usual layout, but no choice, cos i dunno what HDB was thinking when they allocated that space near the windows as the living area, it is only 1.8m long before it hits the corridor. So i can only buy a two seater basically and push it all the way to the windows. Makes it feel as if the living area is squished to one end of the room while the dining will have so much space to move around in. That's why decided to switch it around instead so that my living area is more comfy. Flow wise it actually feels better. Anyways the house is tiny, doesn't take long to reach the dining from kitchen. haha. All the best for our reno! Hopefully we can both move in at the right time happily!
