Terrain1976 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Reno started today but the first thing to welcome me is.. The wooden door lock is spoilt and my contractors cant go into the hse What a good start but after 10mins, my contractor just break the lock and went in finally..Then..at 12.30pm when i arrived on site, another shocking news for me !!! HDB approved from all normal hacking except for my store room (located at kitchen entrance) and the wall in betwwen Bedroom 2 n 3 (to convert into a store room). Reason is because my is the pre casted wall house so cant hack the walls !! It is now pending for HDB higher authority approval now.. OMG...If really cant hacked off any of the walls mentioned, there goes my entire plans and wasted these few months of planning done.

Was still thinking that maybe only his set can open and not mine loh.. Anyway, i intend to change the lock after reno is completed.Pre casted wall = walls that are pre fabricated before sending to site.. Just like LEGO toys.. So i believes these walls will have metal bars in them in ordered to strength the whole structure..Normal hacking approved on last fri but HDB issued another letter after that saying that store room walls and inbetween BR 2 and 3 wall are pending for HDB higher authority's approval. What will be my chances of getting a green light from them?? Edited May 2, 2012 by Terrain1976 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
