heard lots of nightmare things from platform user... so in the end also dare not to do it... babu, sure sure, once u finish reno, be sure to invite us k!!! actually hor, i think the person who do their flat last, will definately benifit if she/he goes to all our units to visit!!! and also get all our comments of IDs, prices, feedback and ideas.... if i am not in a rush, i'll probably wait until all of the 656s ppl finish their reno le, go visit, ask around THEN do reno!! 
lavander, ahh... i get wat u mean
that area quite big, can even put a play pen there n later a kid's table n stool set!!! <--- speaking of which, i do have a blue set of ikea play stools n low round table kids set which is very very new, (cos orginal buy for my baby cousins de, but when wan to give tat time, my aunt also go buy them a set!!!) now the table is store in my storeroom, havent even use it be4!!!... thou i did use the stools... the stools really good, can even take my weight!!! (had been using them will watching TV or fish!!)

babu, wat i read is tat, plateform hor.... will kanna infected by BUGS de!!! esp if ur aircon on n off all the time... sg weather hot n humid lor... so very easy to infest by BUGS!!!!! even now i also thinking twice whether to do lamination flooring or not!!!!....
then there is this gal who did plateform for her living room, regret like mad... cos offen visitors kanna trip by it... she mention her old grandmother almost fell on her face once, lucky got someone beside to hold her... if not....
plus, if later wan to rearrage furniture also headache cos of a plateform, the house will also look small if u do plateform in an open area!!
plateform beds infested with bedbugs and cant get rid!! small roaches seen crawling out of the plateform gap between wall n plateform....
BUT of cos, there are also plenty of ppl who love their plateforms lah... and it looks cosy and add level to your home...
oh ya... and quite afew says tat with platform bed, u dont have much problems with dust under the bed!! dont have to think of ways to clean it as all is sealed up!!
my conclusion is tat, with sg weather, best is dont do too much woodly stuff on the floor lor... mabe in colder countries, it's prefered as the floor might get too cold if use tiles... but in sg.... haiz...
let me c if i can recall more....
oh ya.... just a note... not all wood stuff will kanna these lah... cos most of the wood we use for flooring are chemically treated de... so suppose tat bugs cant infest on it... but there are also cases who ppl complain about it...

Hi CK, are u talking to me? If u are, u may PM me for more details. 
Do u need to move in asap? If u are, u shld start ur ID search now, and once u gotten ur keys, ur ID can go and do a final onsite measurements, fine tune the drawings and can start reno in days. The haulage fees will be increasing as long as our neighbour country dont supply us Sand...

Hi CK(fitty), I have just replied ur PM.

i can c water heater point at both toilets but should be those electrical type... n the water pipings with tap also have..... donnoe about the gas thou... all the internal pipings are PVC pipings... best is change to copper ones. my ID quote me $550 to change all the internal water pipings....
it seems like all the pipings use PVC, hence i doubt there is any gas piping for water heater or even for cooking....

errm i can still choose to use PUB supply for cooking instead of those big blue tanks (LPG) right?
devila
u haven decide on your ID? dun stress so much lady... go wif your heart.
fallingflakes
u can choose PUB supply for gas but u must inform them abt your intention n they'll need to go to your place to fix up the gas pipes, etc. Appointment must be made for the fixing... I'm using PUB gas too.
If u plan to use gas type water heater, u'll need to let them know also... so they can fix the gas piping for ya.

I think we will have different stresses on different reno stage. Now my stress on quotations are over, now is vexing on the designs lor... wanto do up meimei mah, spent so much on reno, cannot chin chin chai chai.
CK, I have experience with A&D too. Their specialize in on carpentry, but except feature walls. They quoted me sky high for haulage fees. I dropped them thereafter cos I'm not convince haulage can be so high, its 4figures leh.
Devila, u think Future Home is reasonable? Ur contact is D*sm*nd as well right? I feel he quite ok... he is the designer cum salesperson., do follow-up proactively. dun u think their carpentry is slightly on the high side?
Lavender_lover, may I know who is ur ID?

Hey Lavender, inform who if I want to use PUB gas?
Btw, share some interesting findings when FH and I went to view our flat just now! We haven't collect our keys but got worried after reading that the door knob was rusty???
Anyway, to our surprise, our door was newly painted and varnished! In fact, even the gate was repainted and it is definitely a very recent thing cos compared to my neighbour's, my gate was not stuff with those contractors' quotations and my neighbour's door knob is still rusty, and the gate and door pathetically dusty and looks so old! My doorbell also changed to a new one while my neighbour's is still having the old version! Good news for those in Blk D i supppose, maybe Devila and Babu complaints prompted HDB to do a thorough check on the other blks! As for my neighbour, whoever u are, don't worry, help is on the way I'm sure!

ya, u think so? hey hey, i heard dis from somewhere... thou i'm not sure if it's accurate so pls dont take it too seriously...
heard that, if u complains on your doors, main doors, gates, or other moveable objects, wat they do is, take out your doors, go find another empty unit or havent give the keys de unit, and exchange with tat unit....
and hence, as all the doors r abit different from each other, some of us, the doors will not be able to fit properly, and hence, things like alighment, cant lock, door slanted, etc, happen...
pls dont take my word for it... it's just hear say... some ppl saw it they claim...

Devila,
juz realise u left a msg for me.
We called HDB hotline for defects. after speaking to someone, the person direct my bf to the officer in charge. Upon speaking to the officer (after a few days), he insists that she let us have the contractor's contact number.
We were suppose to have another contractor who was overseas at that time and they assigned Mr. Lee to us. Mr Lee very helpful(i haven see him yet). Quite good term with my bf. so when met up with my bf the next day, brought my bf to choose tiles etc. then promise to start work yesterday. and they really did. so happy.
anything impt need my imm attn, pm me. I will check my email every weekday.
Hope above is useful.
