I'm so envious of you....no cov and such price at Mei Ling st

spikedoll, the timing where I went in to ballot was right and of course thanks to the luck of draw for the queue number :-)

There is an ethnicity/race ratio-filled quota requirement for those who are buying direct from HDB. In my case, theunit can only be owned by either a Malay family or Others.

Hi kooky, congrats..... love the location. Hope your reno will be smooth. Do post photos

How do u intend to do up the staircase?

[kooky 2]

Thank you, potatoes.

We will change a few steps of the staircase around so it will have a L-shape look. This orientation will give the dinning area some allowances (e.g. when we pull out the dinning chairs, they do not hit right at the edge of the staircase) to place our round dinning table.We hope to achieve a clean, bright appearance with these materials.

For the railings, we will use tempered glass panel with s/s cap materials but we retained the parquet for steps, rises and landing area.

A sample image of the flag of staircase is attached (to show the material we have selected).

Electrical works has just started and in progress!

We did not want to spend too much on designer's switch; just simple and does it job. The contractor has selected Schneider Electric for us and all switches in White.He mentioned that this brand does not has 4-gang switch.

[spikedoll 2]

The switch looks sleek and nice! You did rewiring? Care to share the cost?

[kooky 2]

In the quotation, my contractor has only given me a lumpsum on Electrical Works.

Total cost $4,720

I don't think it is cheap, however, I believe it is not the most expensive?

Mei Ling Street has EMs? I stay just behind it and I don't even know

[kooky 2]

Before we ballot for this unit, I heard there are some EMs/EAs in Queenstown but never really know the actual location until we got it
