sethho 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Presenting the original pics taken (and orientated correctly) by Ader Starting from the main entrance, which we will not replace as HIP has been announced for free essential and optional heavily subsidies upgrading We will probably just repaint the door and get HDB to replace the fire-rated door (because unit is just beside staircase and lift) which typically costs between $1 to 1.3k Living room from the main entranceIt is not obvious here, but the beam is NOT parallel to the floor...more like 20 degrees deviation which we highlighted must be rectified. This seems to be a common problem with some HDB top floors as slight deviation from all floors below are accummulated at the top unit because of poor workmanship... that is what you get from the lowest quote in a government bid The other side of the living room with some 70s legacy....

sethho 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) The kitchen...The kitchen ceiling is in pretty bad condition. We got the HDB officer down to check repair records and to do onsite inspection. Everything is verified ok, but have asked our contractor to pay special attention on applying the sealants here. Our dilemma is deciding where to get place our new hangers...considering getting those pulley system hangers as we will be using both side of the kitchen. Would appreciate any advice or recommendation from kind RT members here! Here is our contractor and his project lead...Pipe #1 we have to replace with PVC pipePipe #2 and conversion of squatting to sitting WC Edited May 23, 2011 by sethho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the new wall and demolition of MBR toilet wall that required explanation of intention and re-approval... see next picture. Our new study/guest room. Desk + waist height shelves + track light + sofa bed + ready made wardrobe will be included after everything is done.The HDB rule is no more than 2ft of space for basin width in vanity area.

sethho 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) We will wall mount some mirrors in the living room and MBR for extra brightness without extra lighting points, create spatial illusions, and of course, vanity utilities. But most importantly, we want a small cosy place to clean with as little efforts as possible over the weekends Edited May 23, 2011 by sethho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marshmallow 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 Wah... the famous marshmallow your presence honour us Not sure if the storeroom qualifies as 0.5, but it is definitely bigger than most 3rm corner + access area we have viewed previously in Commonwealth/Queenstown area. 60k COV is RIDIKULUS (*waves wand*)! Sorry got to make Ader happy with some Harry Porter role playing...zzzzz But seriously, this unit was bought over from the original owner, so the COV is less than 20k. We just met our agent last week at the 2nd appointment, and he told us demand now much more than supply vs 1-2 months ago after GE. But COV for a corridor still around 20-30k.Yup - that's why naming it a "Lair", because my favorite anime characters are controversial 'villains' like Shinji Ikari from Evangelion and Saito Hajime from Ruronin Kenshin wahhhh since when i m famous LOL surely nowhere comparing to other queens/knights/sirs around in RT hahaha~COV less than 20k!! if i met this kind of owner back then i might have become your neighbour... hahaha you have interesting taste it's like my friend who likes the Sensui & Itsuki pair from Yuyu Hakusho (since you mentioned Kenshin and Evangelion, i assume we're from the same era ). Talking about Kenshin, i dunno where all my books gone to... probably lend to someone (who never returned............ )and the discussion between sleek and you on children is very interesting. your profession is in child education? you are really knowledgeable in this area~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would appreciate any advice or recommendation from kind RT members here! there are a few types of retractable hangers... mine is just a simple up-and-down type, mae29 has one that can also be pushed out of the window for outdoor drying. which type are you looking for? Passage way, new MBR entrance and storeroom to demolish. Andrew (our contractor) just informed us that the new doorway under the beam is fine.

Nico Robin is another favorite character. Oops...better don't show too much of my 'otaku' side.I took a full-time diploma in pre-school education (teaching) course sponsored via SDF years ago for interest sake and because my good friend got a rare viral spine attack requiring clutches. So accompanied her while in class till her hubby pick her up every day I think I was one of the 2 guys in a class of 40+ other students (50% housewives and the other 50% aim for certification to be a child care teacher) ....paiseh...lol Just glad she recovered and I believe she is still in child care industry today Edited May 23, 2011 by sethho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ya, I remember seeing mae29's mecha like hangers... feels like it can transform into Autobots anytime - so cool... But think I will go with simple up-and-down type as I do not want to over spend if I can. Edited May 23, 2011 by sethho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
