Oh yah lor. I haven't seen the end product mah. He did assure me things will be done nicely.

As for rain shower installation, he told me before but I didn't expect it to be an additional 50.

Maybe I didn't set my expectation upfront.

Don't worry and enjoy the renovation process.

Ai ya, 1st time home owner, jan jiong mar.

Even when they are building, I would cycle there (from Toa Payoh), sometimes alone, sometimes with my wife, go look c look c, see the progress, which floor they build until liao.

Than best, before I collect key, my 1 kid arrive, than didn't move in. Just reno and leave it there. Didn't wanna move in cause will be very in-convenient (my wife work place is just 10 mins walk from her mum's place, & 3 station from bedok MRT). So I move in with her.

Our Seng Kang flat. (become holiday chalet.) :sport-smiley-004:

Every month pay SCC, every year pay TV&Radio license.

But eventually (after years), we rent out & later sold :sport-smiley-003:

Haha great idea to convert it to a holiday chalet! But my wife and I are really really looking forward to move into our first home! So I am determined to move in by Jun 12! Hope everything will be smooth smooth!

Hey! I am meeting Rick this Sunday, 1pm at my place.

Hahahaha.. For my nxt hse, I'm having e same concept of open WIW but will place a glass sliding doors at e entrance.. if there's enuff space, I'll place a small sofa inside.. Itz very very nice oh ;P

Hi everyone! I'm still in the progress of meeting the IDs and I plan to meet all by end of next week.

BTW, could someone advise me on the following please:

1)I planned to place a ceiling fan with lighting kit in my living room such as the Fanco Fan in the picture below. But I was told that the light will flicker and you will get headache after a while. Is this true?

2)I'm doing a WIW for my wife but I don't like the idea of having no casement/sliding doors for the wardrobe as I want to keep the dust out. Although this WIW will be in an enclosed area, there is a window where my wife will open it occasionally for better ventilation if required- this means more dust! I thought of building sliding doors with full see-through glass. This way, it still retains the feel of a WIW and yet keeps the dust out. How about this idea? Would it look ugly or weird?
