@studioflatter: Really sorry to hear your horrifying reno experience. Hopefully, everything unpleasant will be over and done with and you can settle down nicely in your new home.

@CaseBlue: I plan to put up insect screen too. Could you share your experience in sourcing for the suitable service provider for insect screen? Thanks in advance!

Hi, to all, 

Here's my floor plan. 

I do like the squarish kitchen. But I am not accustomed to having the bathroom door in the living room. 

@evozero: I tried balloting for eastlink but obviously I didn't get it, eastlink so much nearer to the canberra mrt, unlike eastcreek at a far flung corner, but I'm still glad to get an unit just that I need to travel a bit more to the mrt station?

question: just discovered that aircon cold air is slightly escaping through the bottom gap of the sliding doors. any solutions? 

Saw your home pics.  Noticed you have a glass door for your kitchen and a glass corner stall in your bathroom.  May I know your supplier and the cost of these 2 items?  Interested in getting for myself too.  Btw have you moved in?  How is the corner stall working out?  Does it feel crammed?

I like that you color matching the living room shelving with bedroom storage as well.

I like your flooring too.Is it vinyl , laminate or tiles?

yep, as i expected to rarely close the sliding door, thought it would be good to keep the laminate colours similar

flooring is vinyl, ID suggested vinflor brand. FYI, i chose another colour code intially, but had to change to another colour code, as the original colour code i chose, that particular batch had some QC issues. fingers-crossed this colour code is ok...

Thanks for responding.  Appreciate it.  Considering doing something similar but not sure if too squeezy but I don't like wet floors.

For BTO 2-Roomers, I am given S$ 8k quote from HDB licensed CaseTrust ID for basic move-in reno, which include 21' kitchen cabinets with base, stove, hood, tap & basin, 13' quartz top, 5' wardrobe, windows grilles and printing, with 1 year warranty. Is this worth it? Other quotes are above this price range. What else that I need to take note of?

Hi neighbour, I also Eastcreek.. Just finished renov. you from which block?

[Cranberries 8]

@daztan89Hello, neighbour!

I think mine is the last block for building completion and key release. 

Finished reno means you can move in before LNY, Congrats!

I will only start to reno after LNY, no point rushing now. Getting my keys this month.

Hi! Can I check with you is Dec/Jan the "official" expected date given by HDB?  I've heard that usually the BTO will be completed about 6 months ahead of the date given by HDB, not sure if that's true?

[Cranberries 8]

@mytinybtoHello! My new flat did not complete ahead of time but right on the dot. From the very start hdb state my new flat will be expected to complete in Q4 2019. And indeed I was notified to collect keys in December. But I did hear of projects completing ahead. And I was initially hopeful that I can collect keys in June/July but that never happened?

I made the kitchen door less wider to a normal door width by installing a false wall.original dimension is very wide entrance.

i put solid pine barn door as the kitchen door. **** heavy by itself but the rolling track helps using it with ease.

2 Reasons y i cover the kitchen is because my neighbor opp can see when i open my main door.I can see theirs too.We are the two only units on the level have such unique '' corner " layout.The rest of the units are facing the corridor.Other reason is i have A/C in the living room.

Flooring is a mix of ceramic tiles for door & kitchen entrance leading to the entrance of bathroom while the rest of the entire unit is vinyl flooring.

Vinyl doesn't sound as hollow and lightly textured according to the wood grain design.

I encountered several issues/problems during renovation like others in this forum.Its really can be a exciting & the same time frustrating experience esp for first timer like myself.

Will post more in future.

The flooring is looking really nice here! Can't wait to get my flat!
