draught 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) Like to ask abt kitchen cabinet...may i know wat is the height of your kitchen cabinet ah? My ID seem to give me very low, ard 3 ft high only. I felt that is way too low...so wat is the height for your cabinet ah? though I know it shd be base on our own height to do the neccessary adjustment, but isnt 3 ft too low? Another thing is the top cabinet, how deep do you guys do? in line with the bottom? protude out further due to the beam or is shorter in depth? I was given 2 ft 1 ft in depth initially, but I complain its too little due to beam, then he say 3 ft 1.5 ft in depth is wat he can do, but the bottom is ard 4 ft 2 ft. Can't the top & bottom cabinet be in line? Edited January 15, 2008 by draught Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mirage 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 Hi All Neighbours,Just get to know of this informative site. I am a first-timer and I balloted for a unit at Blk 25B, 4-Room. I just received the letter from HDB to collect the keys on 19th Jan, Sat. So hope to meet more neighbours and share more information. I am currently searching for IDs. Real headache as there are too many to choose from.Managed to sneak in last Sunday but the elevator was not working and the stairs were locked. Went to the site today. The walkway to Blk 25B is still fenced up, so unable to have a look at the unit. But realised that the hanging clothes area is covered up and not exposed to sunlight. Must buy washing powder that does not causes smell when it is wind-dried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
