actually not really... initially I'm not used to the layout... so got some problems. But after staying for so long... u'll know which angle n where to place the poles for your own ease.
Now, dun really find it a problem hanging my clothes out... I place the pole on the window grills n the other end near the sink... it'll be abit cramp even with or without hacking the wall. Cos our kitchen n the service balcony is really small compared to other places. Can't be help. but wif practice, u'll definitely get the hang of it w/o hitting your cabinets. no worries.

Hi Anne,
what wall tiles did u use for ur service balcony?
i'm planning to hack the wall and extend the kitchen, but since the service balcony area has no wall tiles, is it possible to get the HDB contractor to do that? If possible, how much do they charge if we use the same tiles?

dun be surprised if it is the contractor... cos remember my case, they even brought their rice cooker.. wat if they bring woman to our place.. cannot imagine that cos i did come across.
one fine sunday, my hubby and i went to check the progress. Then a short while later got this contractor bring a woman. They got startled when they abt to enter my place and saw both of us. they quickly walked off. the lady even bring a cardboard to sit down one.

Hi Em,
because the kitchen tiles are having defects, i will be getting the HDB contractor to change all for me... so i was thinking might as well just pay them to lay the tiles on the service balconey as well, if i am going to hack the wall...
still thinking whether to hack or not.
MIL not staying together, but we live within walking distance, and she loves to bake.So she might wanna bake when she comes over

oic.. that makes a different story..
cos our contractor has checked for us that there wun be any similar color if we were to hack down the bal.
Will consider leaving the wall empty w/o tiles.. they look simple and nice too... maybe..
alternative, u can ask ur reno co to draw for u so u can see how will it be like w/o tiles.

for me, I've hacked off my kitchen tiles too as it has hollow tiles that time... so I bought a new set of tiles for kitchen n service balcony cos dun really like the one given by HDB...very plain..so I topped up wif decorative tiles...basically kitchen side one, HDB provided but I paid for the decor tiles n the tiles at service balcony.
Matthew, u can ask the HDB contractor to put up the tiles for ya if u have bought the tiles for service balcony...if not, ask your reno to do it also can.
Anne

when u shifting in har? ;pi no hurry la... my reno also not complete, final stages.. after that i will check and if any touch up required, to complete first before i move in. once i move in, i dun want any more work to be carried out la.. i not yet sell my current house anyway, so thats why i can afford to man2 lai... after that i will slowly move in my stuff bit by bit until i can find a time to shift all the big stuff...

if u have alot of stuffs esp bulky items, good to ask movers to do it.
else u can do it yourself one bit by one bit at a time if u have the transportation n not in a rush to move in.
wah...some workers at one of the unit below me really work OT!!! Knocking on the walls way past 11pm! Lucky the noise stopped after 11.30pm. Tot there's this regulation on noisy works not to be done after 5pm??? Maybe they tot nobody stayed in the units above it so... hopefully, such noise will not happen again.
Gosh..didn't know the sound really travels up... I can even feel the hacking(the vibrations) n hear the din even though the unit doing the hacking is like at least 3 floors below during the day!!

think your toilet tiling works still in process. doing your kitchen toilet....

finally see a bit improvement..guess most of us are busy with renovations and for those whose house has been renovated, perhaps they are spending time admiring their love nests now..
i am quite lucky, cos my FH did a good follow up with contractors, anyway, those contractors also dun like to liase with me as I seem nasty to me. My FH is angel and i am the devil..(LOL)
my renvo should be done in the next 2 weeks.
hi anne,
getting the approval is fast, hacking the wall even faster.
