Not sure how HDB do the flooring leveling.I have the same problem too and it's made worse if we were to overlay the kitchen floor tiles. There is no way to raise the living flooring as it will be blocked by the bomb shelter door. In the end we hack the kitchenfloor so that the living room and kitchen floor is level. Even then, after everything done, the bomb shelter door and main door just clear the living room floor by mere millimetres. It is such things that I wonder what was HDB and the architect thinking.

Not sure how HDB do the flooring leveling.Hey dneo,You are not alone, my living room flooring is also lower than the kitchen floor.. If we were to level it, we have to cut all the doors which we did not prefer.. End up, we just did a small curb to separate the 2 areas and the problem is solved!

angel_with_an_attitude 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Today we faced the first upset in our reno.....the washing machine base is too small for the washing machine we have bought originally the base width was supposed to be 65cm while the machine's width is 60cm. when we went to check today realise the base is only 61.5cm! moreover the machine's water outlet is at the side instead of the back...there was no way the machine could fit in. at first was very upset with my id for shortening the width and told her to change.....but then realise there is no way cos the concrete wall support has to be in line with the beam if not very ugly. sob sob. now we have to go back to gaincity and try to convince them to allow us to change the washing machine... sigh.... donno whether we can get another nice silver machine to match our black and silver kitchen theme.... just wondering, why is a concrete wall even necessary? cant the kitchen sink be done without the wall at the back? sighzzzz.....

We decided not to do it so as to save space, but the downside is that the sink will splash water to the washing machine.. Are you getting a front load washing machine? Cos most top load washing machine are thinner.. Probably can change.. Dun worry.. Unless you are planning to get a dryer, then it will be abit of a headache..
