spikedoll 2 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 Last Fri 6 July, we went to view the house again..hehe..the HDB officer was quite unhappy when I called him, but told him we need to do some measurements..he said we can refer to the layout... I changed my tone then he said ok.. wth..he told us to reach earlier but end up he was late for almost 1/2hr..the first time we went to view, he was also late ..sighI told him we wish to hack down the built-in bed at MBR but he said we need to remove ourselves.According to my frd who bought a repurchased in Sengkang, she also got HDB to hack down whatever she didnt like.I don't know very clearly what are our stands and if HDB can remove the stuff done by previous owner?Below are some new pics I took at the unit.will post more tmr...Anyone know if I remove the built-in bed which seem to be glued to the flooring, will it damage the flooring?taken from door entrance kitchen..a lobang in the cabinet..need find an oven to fit inMBR toiletMBRfalse ceiling **** roomsmall shoe cabinet at door entranceliving room Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spikedoll 2 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 wow you have everything thought out so have your found the person to do these works?maybe you can try to bug the hdb officer hack the bed for youbut their workmanship so you may want to consider getting someone more reliable my ah lau also said that so maybe we get own contractor to do better.That HDB officer seem unwillingly to let us view flat liao, let alone help us to hack We have not find any contractor yet, most probably asking my bro's help as he have many such contacts so would be cheaper now we keep going see see furnitures and electrical appliances..so when time comes, we know where to buy liao.

applefreak 1 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 the hdb officer is just plain lazy lohlet you view flat means he got to go take key, meet you at the unit, wait for you to fiinish then return to officeif dun let you view, he can enjoy air-con in office eletrical appliances price will keep dropping onebest is you have a list of phone numbers, then when you want to buy just call them up for the best priceas for furnitures, i'd recommend waiting for those warehouse sale then go and buymost of the times can get really good buys loh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spikedoll 2 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 yes u are right..my friend recommend an electrical shop Goh Ah Bee Electrical, saying that their price is very good, his bro always call them for pricing and order ..maybe some of u can try...i haven't ask for any quote yet..Tel : 62888611 (if really good price let me know..hehe)I don't have hope in that HDB officer will help us lah.. We went to this furniture warehouse in Kaki Bukit and found their price is quite ok.We saw a L-shaped sofa in Defu Furniture shop selling $1288 but KB selling $899 (no delivery charge & installation charge).
