selenal 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2007 Finally started the reno blog... I cant resist the temptation to start ranting about the entire reno process...Gotten my new but not-so-new EA at Sembawang... The lease started way back in 2001.. but only got it thru the Walk-In on 1st June... keys not collected yet... Just gotten news frm the HDB officer that they will not be able to release the keys within these two mths ( )... earliest will be 3mths... cos they are removing most of the tiles and doing new ones for us... (hope the colour not horrendous)...Been lurking around for quite sometime... reading the blogs and other treads... To date, I've cfm my ID (Robin of Baroque) after getting only 3 quotes, a very chop-chop decision. Bt have spoken to quite a no of ID/co... so far.. find Robin quite alright... Have not heard/read any comments about him yet, so really hope that my experience with him will be a pleasant one... just burn a big hole in our acct yesterday, bought a black L-shaped full leather sofa@home2be($2799) and a Sharp Aquos LC-32PX5M @Harvey($1799 less $100 HNvoucher, free $100NTUC voucher with free DVD player)...tats all for nw...
