ment0s 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 The hacking begins... and this was what greeted us after 1 day of hacking! Common toilet and MBR toilet hacked! Yay...Super siok to see the disgusting toilet turned into a pile of rubble.Bye bye oily kitchenThe brick wall console is down too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ment0s 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 90% of the skirtings and all the cornices has been hacked and remove. Wardrobes and fixtures all down! Hopefully HDB reverts and appoves of hacking for the walls fast so that we have everything hacked away in the next 2 days The aircon compressor board removed and revealed the disgusting condition of it. the board probably corroded overtime resulting in a lot of mould ( eewe...) growing inside. i guess it should be the same for the air con pipings as well so we're not keeping anything in the house. everything must go.

ment0s 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) After checking out on the progress, we went to royal fanco at jalan besar to make our sanitary ware purchases. We actually went jalan besar 2 weeks ago to check out the stuff and initially we wanted to check out poh goo because 5yrs ago when we renovate our current house, we got everything from Poh Joo. However, fast forward 5yrs later, they have expanded in size but lost their service standard. Then walked past Royal fanco when we were otw to the car and found the prices there v competitive and the boss (Henry) and his wife were v friendly and obliging. Thus this time round, we cut the chase and went back to purchase everything else from them since we bght our Grohe earlier. Arino Caprio WC + Baron Sink ( 2 sets of this. 1 for each toilets) at $390 per set! Jovan 25L Storage heaterElkay Sink that comes w drainer and chopping boardand some misc stuff like water spray bidet and small taps for the extra water point in the service yardYay! Another item striked off the list! Edited January 27, 2013 by ment0s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ment0s 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) It's been a while since the last update because all thanks to our friendliest and most helpful HDB officers for delaying the approval of the hacking thus after day 1 of hacking. Everything came to a standstill.. And when they finally approved the hacking, the workers were ready to pack up for CNY so we will be continuing the works after CNY. But it's OK !!!! The Happy news is .. tadah... Our customized bedside tables are finally here!!!!.. The husband showed me a picture of a set of bedside tables sometime ago and we were deeply smitten with it but because it wasnt a designer piece that was put up for sale, rather it was customised by some designer for their friend so we had it customised instead. HehehThe first pic looks very bleh because it hasnt been wax/lacquered yet (taken when it first arrived) but we're gg to remove the 2nd drawers so it looks like the 2nd pic (taken today when we went down to view it) !! I love love it !!! Next project~ Crochet socks for these babies! YAY Edited February 8, 2013 by ment0s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
