sigh, it's my current flat and the tiles were fine for the past twenty over years

suddenly without any sign the sound started

sounded like fire crackers going off

looks like someone trying to tunnel from the wall and about 3/4 way of the living room decided to turn left

then the tiles just exploded

the shards basically flew everywhere

hdb is not gonna do anything unless it happened to more than one unit

lucky things was the sound woke all of us up and we were looking at the tiles when it exploded so no one got hurt

my cats were so happy and they kept chasing the shards

can't think of a reason why the tiles suddenly popped

thought if it's hollow it'll just kinda 'float' up right?

we only have one hollow tile but it's not one of the exploded ones

thanks everyone for the offer to help but i think this is something i have to go through

of all times the tiles choose yesterday to pop

and i bled both yesterday and today

yesterday my cat clung to me so his claws broke my skin, today carry carton boxes kenna cut by the box

let's hope i won't be bleeding everyday of this month

on a happier note, my grilles and windows are up

now left the installation of the rainshower and chemical-washing

and i can shift in liao

but my parents refused to shift during seventh month so i'll be shifting in first with my cats to 'warm' up the place

heng i'm on leave from next monday until the end of the month

Aiyohh that's scary!

Applefreak, better take care ya & wear slippers at your current flat.

thanks

we covered the broken tile part with a small carpet so not too bad

now the problem is should we redo the flooring?

coz we have not done valuation

but if we redo then the buyer dun like, will redo again

very wasteful loh

now then i see this...tot only hollow tiles or the worker who did the tiling "steal job minus ingredient" then this will happen...where got tiles too dry pop up one?

cement screed whole living room then claim itz modern?

[applefreak 1]

now the headache is should we redo or just leave it or replace the broken tiles with something similar

guess the valuation report will be somehow affected but what to do?

some pix to share, my grilles are up

at the balcony

for the bathrooms

kitchen yard

will not recommend panggiap for anyone coz the workmanship is really very BAD

gigantic gaps and the handle actually broke when we tried to close the windows

also took some pix of my cracked tiles

from far not obvious but looks horrible close up

far

nearer

nearest

*nod nod*, it is definitely a big problem drilling into those HDB tiles....when my plumber drilled into my newly tiled toilet, same thing happen too....the tiles are crack n we all busy looking for replacement nw.....

sigh...

Ur crack tiles in kitchen? If abit n can cover by kitchen cabinet, den mabbe can leave it becuz it will b hard just to replace sme tiles bah (haf to take out)..if its obvious n u wan to change hor, u better start chasing the HDB contractor/TO nw so they can give u the spare tiles.....

sigh, thing is i'm not doing any cabinets on that side of the wall

is it really obvious from the pix?

if it is then will call my TO to ask if there are still matching tiles left
