My 2nd Humble Home.... Refurbishment of 4NG AMK

[Tigaroo 1]

It's an 4 NG Ang Mo Kio flat..... the MUG program was done 10 years agao... the utility room was added and they did the toilet using their tiles ... I feel like upgrading the toilet to modern look with heaters and redo my kitchen.

how much would it cost to remove the entrance wall at the toilet?

also Have problem with the toilet.... how to create a shower room within the toliet?

Hi Tigaroo,

Based on my readings on others T-blog, it is difficult to create a shower room with the basin inside. Most of them apply to shift the basin out of the wet area to outside using hdb dry area ruling. But this will eat into the kitchen/MBR space.

"Maximum width and area of extension

• Must not be more than 600 mm and 0.6 m2 respectively and
• Can only be used as a "dry area"
• For example, for installation of wash basin or shelves
• The existing gas riser and it’s branch pipe must not become enclosed in the extended bathroom/toilet"

Thanks.... agree it will eat into already tiny MBR..... if move out the dry area w basin. The other problem meaning might need to hack the wall to relocate the door... headache.

hate that old kitchen... 17 years old and fall apart

[Tigaroo 1]

did some sketch on what i wanted on the kitchen.

cos my kitchen is old 4 NG type- long rectangle.... so gonna divide it to wet kitchen and dinning area.

also think to put a glass sliding door between the hall and dinning or should do door between dinning and kitchen??
