#thechewscorner @ Punggol Waves

After 2 years+ of waiting, fiancé and I finally received our keys to our 4 room BTO flat on 7th June 2013

We weren't in a hurry to move in so we decided to take our time with the renovations; also because our wedding is in 1 December 2013 and we're afraid that finances might be a bit tight.

But last week, we met with one interior designer (Spacious Planners @ IMM) and one contractor (the much recommended Mr K from renotalk), and fiancé and I started getting excited with the renovations and all. In the end, we might just start our renovations earlier and hopefully, have the house ready by November 2013

*rubs hands with glee*

Here's the floor-plan of my little home which I call TCC - The Chews Corner

HAHA I think most new BTO more or less the same; cos HDB use this floor-plan as a cookie-cutter.

welcome to RT!

I like the view from your service yard!

It is so picturesque, for a moment I thought it was an artist impression.

Hi Grace,

Envious that you have collected your keys as I am still waiting for mine (Punggol Emerald).

May i know when did you receive the letter from HDB that you can collect keys on 7 Jun? I am also having a 4-Room flat and layout is similar to yours.

HAHA Yes! I did so because I didn't like the tiles and doors that HDB provided.. Anyway, good thing we opted out because some of the other punggol waves residents are complaining about the defects in tiles and doors when they collected their keys :/

LOL yes it is! Yea this is my favorite view in my house. Too bad this view can only be seen from the service yard and not the main living room.

Hi aurora83, I received the letter on 29 May, but quickly contacted the HDB officer because I wasn't able to produce my marriage cert for the key collection appt. Fortunately, they managed to defer my marriage cert submission and allowed us to collect the keys first

Sorry for the late reply guys, have been traveling alot lately. Anyway, fiance and I are still looking around for contractors / ID that are can suit our budget of 30K. Hopefully, we can do so before end of July and start our renovations soon! *excited*

Alas! We finally found a contractor and he is none other than Mr. K who has been quite popular in the renotalk t-blog chat forum

Without further ado, here is a sneak peek to Day 2's renovation (today).

Things done / in progress:

1. Hacking of kitchen wall

2. Air-Con piping

3. False ceiling

4. Living Room wall partition

5. Electrical Wiring

More updates tomorrow!
