Our Shelter From Sun & Rain

[junkang2004 0]

Dear Fellow Members, it's been enjoyable being a silent reader in this forum. Learnt a lot of tips on renovation, places to buy stuff etc..

Really thankful to the fellow forum members for sharing your journey.

Decided to document my renovation journey and hope to gain further insight from others

Hope I'll be a good writer...

To start things off, we bought a repurchase 4room flat from HDB during March 2012.

Typically, at the point of selection, 3 things came into my mind.

1) Size of unit

2) Floor Level

3) Accessibility

Well, in the end, we balanced our options and choose our new place solely based on Point 3.

Gotten our keys on 22Oct2012.

We decided to engage an ID, as me and my husband are too busy & most of all Lazy to coordinate the itsy bitsy stuff with the contractor.

Also, we decided that they have more artistic ideas then us.

Renovation should start tomorrow! ( 29Nov2012). Really looking forward.

Managed to notify the neighbor next door beforehand. But not the ones above me, knocked their door for ages and no come came to the door.

Will post my floor plan and 3D pictures once I've figure out how to upload.

FYI - I am using my husband a/c, hence you find the writing style that doesn't suit my profile name.

You are really good neighbors, still going to every house to notify your neighbors. Hehe, I thought that's the job of my contractor so I did not go n say hello to my neighbors.

its better for owner to do it lah, since they will be your neighbours. you will live there, not your contractor mah. got problem, next time you will face the problem.

but there are some people that thinks unknown ppl knocking on the door means they are salesperson. so some don't answer door no matter what. don't worry lah, will be fine.

Thanks all for the comments... Was looking forward to have good neighbors . As the saying goes: 远亲不如近邻。

Need to move in before CNY. Hence, that's deadline for my ID.

Will be visiting my new place soon to see the status of the hacking ...

[junkang2004 0]

Just visited our new place. The hacking has completed, workers are now removing the debris...

Raining now though, at least they can work in a cooler environment since there isn't much ventilation in the new place.

Haven't visited my place since Sunday. Hope everything is turning out mine.

Requested HB to check out tmr , in case something really went wrong.

Made a number of purchases over the past few weekend: Hood, Hobs, Bed & Bedsheet, Frige, Pots and Pans.

Felt that we have been blowing a lot of our budget. Will post pics of our purchases soon.

Gonna go JB over this weekend to check out lighting stuff. Any recommendations?

Really like his service, always prompt in answering my questions.

Most of all , he knows me best! Like for grouting, i realized that i omit to discuss the color with him, but he made a choice for me .

which is the same as per what i had in mind. He remembered that I always stress on maintenance free house.

Hence, all his comments to me were always along this main point.
