Hi folks,

Ive moved in to my unit for 2 mths already. So here's somemore experience to share with you (which may or may not be relevent)

1. Be sure to ask how's the curtain or blind railings going to look like once installed.

2. Check the bomb shelter door if it can be close easily and also the rubber hose around the inner door frame which tends drop off after sometime because of the lousy glue that they use

3. If you want to have many pillows, queen size bed is not enough ..hehe

4. Test the aircon before anything if possible, because it will be tricky rectifying any problem if u already painted or have concealed the pipes

5. If you are getting a big TV say 37" and above, try to have the distance between the tv and sofa be 2x the length of the TV to have the best effect.

6. When designing your tv console, take in the factor of a home entertainment system (esp the location for the woofer, speakers etc)

7. Try to use electrical door bell instead of wireless because in the event of lightning, chances that the door bell will ring non stop due to the stastic electricity in the atmosphere (was told by the electrician)

8. Be careful if you want to do a platform for the fridge. Its best if you know what fridge you want to buy 1st and then give the dimension to your contractor. It will be real headache if you done your platform and then cannot find a suitable fridge that fits.

Hope this helps and to be continued if I can think of more

PS...anyone knows where to get nice door mat for the front door???

Yap. My house is already in Shift-in mode. Now sourcing for furniture n stuffs.

For those under En-bloc and has shifted in, can share if you hv surrender yr old flat to HDB? Actually thinking of getting an extension on the surrender date. Blk 27B has less then 5 units shifted in and so many renovation works are still going on. I dun feel safe shifting in yet. Any feedback?

Dear bee joy, like Linggie has mentioned, I am our neighbour across road at 118A.

It is very much depend on the TYPE of curtain or blind you choose, thickness of the window grill and space around the window.

For example, my guestroom's window does not have a latch/spacing above it, so i have to use brackets that are about 4 inches long to hold up the blind railing which is not very nice.

Another thing to note is, try to flush your curtain around 1 inch of your window, cos it wont be nice if you have a big gap between the window and the curtain.

Ultimately, you need to get your curtain man to tell u the pros and cos on the various type of curtains/blinds and how it is being installed, ask them if the railings/bracket will be concealed or very visable. Like I chose roman blind for my MB, so whenever I pull it up, I have to straighten out the creases but its pretty nice when its down.

I have panel curtains for LR....effect is nice, you can consider if it suits your theme

tmr IT fair starts lo..buy tv buy tv buy tv

Yeah loh...you should able to get good deals....too bad i got mine already

When you buy, make sure they allow you to do 1 time change should you change your mind abt the model before delivery
