Bluesummerayz 2 Report post Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Hey blue! I just wonder, since you have 2 kitties, did you net up the window grills?Hi Nick! No I didn't, my cats don't have the tendency to climb up the windows now that we shift to this place. They are usually housed in the kitchen which leads to service yard, there are windows there but they dont have the slightest interest to climb up. But my orange kitty is a curious one, if I bring her to the bedroom i will keep a close watch because somehow she knew there is a ledge there for her to climb onto... ZZZZ silly cat, but rather clever .. and cunning.. :S Edited September 5, 2011 by Bluesummerayz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zaiyo1419 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2011 Hi everyone!So ok, this is technically not very 'proper' because my renovations are already done midway but I thought I wanted to document this down just because.This is a 4-rm resale which I paid 40k cov for, thinking that 'everything seems so nice and minimum renovations needed'. So happily I put in the initial $1k deposit and subsequently completed the transaction (long tedious process which I am gonna skipped it). I still remembered that I brought a contractor to the flat when I went to put down the balance $4k and REALLY told the contract I only wanted:-1) build up a store room (the previous owner tore it down for crying out loud)2) painting works3) some other minor works which I can't recall now (thats the bad part abt writing abt it now)The contractor quote was ridiculously high, prob coz there wasnt much for him to profit hahaha So I engaged and brought an ID (assigned project to Outlook Interior) to the house a 2nd time, and I still thought 'minor reno' works only,but I think I started to ask 'can change this or not? can change that or not?'I went for the 3rd time which for the life of me, still couldn't figure why I missed all those 'imperfections' in the 1st place:-1) Wardrobes are dark brown, old and I think the owner painted over it *faints*2) Old ceramic tiles - scratched and can't really be cleaned to 'look new'3) Retro kitchen tiles, Retro Toilet tiles (yes these days, I refer anything old in that house RETRO)4) hmmm basically quite a lot of areas which need improvement to the point my housing agent shook his head and said he heart pain coz he really thought I was satisfied with the condition of the flat and therefore didn't persist when I said I didn't mind paying the cov coz er... 'everything seems so nice and minimum renovations needed'Anyway, here are some 'original pics', judge for yourself, do you think its a move in condition already?From the pic, i can see that your floor level is not more than 6 floor with sights of canopy of the trees. From the tiles originally from the HDB, I guess your flat is about 12-15 year old. Your area is woodlands (lowest cov Spore)and if your flat is more than 200 metres from mrt, you have gotten yourself too high a cov. If it is @200-400m near mrt,then at least some consolation.Nonetheless it is the first great feel that when u step into the house that prompt you into buying most IMPortant. So all the best in your new home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Values lie in the eyes of the beholder. 40k is, via dollar notes calculation, cheaper than 41k & above. still v ok near to: civic centre,...Yeahshort walk to causeway point...
