denimart 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2012 Because most of the HDB layouts are squarish and yours is more like rectangular shape and i like the fact that your kitchen has two sides with windows. This will brighten up the kitchen!Yeah, really. It is quite windy from kitchen and pretty bright from the windows too. Totally agreed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

denimart 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2012 Our demolition date starts from 23-25 April, my contractor really fast hand fast leg in taking down the tiles and tearing down the unnecessary stuff. At this moment, the few walls which suppose to be hack are still on pending. I kept calling the officer from the permit dept but the call forever get engaged. Finally my contractor advise me to pen an email to him, next day early morning i check HDB site and it got approve!? But by this time is already 25th, so my contractor rearrange a later hacking date and also submit a later date for demolition permit again. Anyway, talk about my contractor he is **** good, the day they tear down anything regardless tiles or wood structures...his workers will clear the debris away in the same day. Knew what, no ciggie butt can be found in the house too. His theory is he has to make sure his place are clean and so is a respect to the homeowners. He do not allow his workers to mess up the house, his theory again is so the subcon or other workers will take his works seriously and follow instruction knowing that the main contractor is not a person to be trifle with. If they see the house they work is dirty and ciggie butts everywhere, they will not take their job seriously. Quite respect on those theory though.The aircon was take down very soon after this pic is taken...the wardrobe in the common bedroom already had torn down. Empty area on the right. Note the debris was clean up.KitchenKitchen clean up!!Wall will be tear down the nextime u see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taichipanda 3 Report post Posted May 3, 2012 Albt, what is SC/CC? Oh we will try to go over to your house over the weekend if we can make it, would be nice to see your carpenter workmanship like i thought. Are u using alot of blum system? Too costly so we may skip it. Recently got tied up with work even over the weekend and we still left with alot alot of things haven't purchase..omgService and Conservancy Charge (SC/CC), monthly fee payable to Marine Parade Town Council. Usual is $50 per month for 4 rooms HDB flat, some months got special rate at 50% off. Go open the letter box, you got quite a lot of mails!The hardware parts are a mixture of blum and hettich. They are not expensive, just that not all carpenters are certified to install them, that is why ID command a higher price tag if customer request for it. I want to show you the workmanship so you can request the same from your carpenter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to think Teka is some cheap brand until i reach the showroom and shocked by their retail price...apparently Teka is even pricer than Brandt or Bosch on all similar products.Gosh..i missed it. Ya..Teka is quite ex. My previous owner was using Teka hood and hob but too bad i have to discard it coz too bulky for my design....so wasted... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now my water trapper has yellow stain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if the contractors send their workers to any safety course, or any internal safety training before sending their workers out to work. What if they really burn our houses because of their cigratte butts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
