If you are not in a hurry to shift in, of cos you can take your time to do window shopping.If you wish to shift in soon after you got your keys, I would advise you to start looking for IDs. Once you have selected your ID, they can start doing their preparation like drafting out the 3D images, planning your storage space, etc. I think all these wld take at least 2-3 wks and reno about 6 wks. So if you start searching after you got your keys, it will drag further. It's your choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crazycar 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2007 more pictures...Master Bathroom WC & Basin: Grey ColorCommon Bathroom WC & Basin: Peach ColorShower Head: Ugly. Got to change. Kitchen: This is a classic picture. I dunno why HDB install the water inlet and power socket on one side of the concrete block while the water outlet is on the other side. So likely you have to run a surface pipe from the water outlet point to where you would likely place your washing machine. (Like what you see in the picture.) No matter what, even after you construct the kitchen cabinet base, you will see the expose pipe. Anyone has any idea how to conceal it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need some adviseYo, we won't hack the room2 cos' we intend to use the room (which next to MBR) as Guest room and 1 room (near living) as an entertainment/ game room. My advise is unless, you do not intend to sell away the unit then you can go ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
