bee joy 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) will be dropping by on Friday noticed that blks 25B & 27B are close to the O/H bridge... anyone chose those units which are visible from the bridge?Me at Blk 27B. Those front units are 5rooms. mine's 4 room. Can see the bridge n activities down below from both living room n bedrooms. But me high floor, so i can see them they cant see me. BUT, 1 thing i dun like is the master bedroom. HDB has throw in full height window for master bedroom..... but but but.... the only view i hv is the living room n bedroom of OTHER BLOCKS (blk 25b, 26b & 26c)! No FAR AWAY views like my living n bedroom 2 & 3. Must really the designer of this block.in blk 25A, i noticed that some of the main doors have become more glossy... izzit that these doors have been re-varnished??Most likely those with glossy ones hv almost complete their renovation. Contractors need to touch up the dirt they might hv left behind when doing renov. Anyway, someone mentioned here before tat the doors given by HDB was ugly. I find my quite nice leh. Wooden ones in 2 tone. Do we all hv the same doors? N i like the metal gate too... Edited October 10, 2007 by bee joy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bee joy 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2007 Anyway, there's another STUPID design i dun like abt this place. For those who hv been to see the showflats might hv noticed the huge n ugly water heater storage tank mounted at the entrance of the kitchen wall. I appreciate that HDB has nicely done up the hot/cold piping for the whole house thus reducing our renovation cost. But cant they find a better position for us to install that heater tank! ARRGHHH..Actually thinking of installing 2 instant heater in each bathroom instead. But contractors are discouraging me.... any suggestion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another cost adder again if really like tat.. Faint...if i'm not wrong, it means that the pipes are expose i.e. u can see the pipes running along the surface of the wall. the worst part is that the U shape (hope u know what i'm talking abt) is at chest level whereas the heater is normally installed higher up. so u will have two long pipes exposed. some people do a box-up to cover the pipes. but i think it's still ugly.

Another cost adder again if really like tat.. Faint...I think it's electric heater or gas heater. Gas heater u can get from City gas n it's free n as the name implied, it runs on gas. When turn on, u can see flames inside the heater. There are 2 kinds of Electric heater. The instant kind or the tank kind. Instant heater u can mounted it in your toilet jus beside yr shower head. Whereas the tank kind u need to mount it in the kitchen area. The tank kind comes in 15 litres, 30 litres etc. Was told best to get the 30 litres so that water temperature will not be affected if so happen 2 people are taking shower at the same time.
