Basin can shift to the "original" toilet door area. jus need to do some adjustment and connection of the pipe. as long as the toilet bowl is nt @ the wall u wan to hack then can. But provided HDB allows you to do. My bf has already highlighted the walls he wanted to hack liao haha and his dad say can and shouldnt be a problem when applying to HDB.

Hmm I tried to go into HDB website last night, but can't seem to view the available units. Didn't load.. any ideas why?

LOL. You guys are so busy talking about reno and babies... I don't know when to come in! :P Bf and I might be posted away from Singapore between these 3 years, so hopefully when we come back, we'll have enough for everything...

Hopefully. Haha
 
Alicia> showflat never displayed any pipe lines plus my friend from ID line says these days, HDB conceal all gas, water pipes and electrical wires.

So usually there will only be outlet.

The toilet door can shift to service balcony but the only concern is that the space might be a bit small so door might need to customize.

I am not shifting the door, instead, i will create a washing "bay" at the service balcony, to make it like a tiny version of backyards in those terrace/semi-de/bunglow houses.

So do all the washing at the service balcony. just need a tap to go that way. The only problem is water drainage and whether that part of the house is epoxy sealed to prevent water leakage.

like this i have more places to play water! lol

ah kiam> she wants the money to go europe instead :~( she says not fair because I've been to europe before and she never been to there before.

cornice can do a simple box type to help hide those trunkings if you want to make it look a bit nicer.

Another advice is not to do a built-in wardrobe.

This is what a lot of folks tell me. built-in wardrobe, you are stucked with it for the rest of your life at that place unless you going to hack it and redo.

experiences tell that humans are fickle and when you have a built in wardrobe, you have to change your habits to suit the layout, instead of layout change to suit your habits.

having a normal wardrobe allows you to move your furniture around easily so that you can make changes along the way.

some contractors will advise you not to do flooring for built in wardrobe area. do not allow that to happen. it will be a nightmare in the future if you really intend to redo those wardrobe.
 
Good good jaccyy at least got things to be busy , when come back realise already pass 3yrs just nice to prepare for reno hehehe ...

Ryan .. hahaha then bring her to europe ... wah washing bay quite a good idea wor ... all my reno will b simple de ...
happy.gif
 
for me to do built in is cuz i see how...i only got 1 place to put the wardrobe...LOL...so just built in...less worries...lidat the wardrobe can match my simi bed la..tiles la...etc etc...

i am still deciding on opening another door to service balcony or converting the service balcony to washing bay...cuz sometimes shower le...will straight away wash some hand wash clothes...

ah kiam> the floorplanner like v pro sia...can do 3d somemore...
 
wahahahaha

you all really start playing ard sia... good good.

i using my own 3D modeling software to try and do some things as well.

btw the floor plan we have on hand is not 100% accurate. Got some crucial measurements not given such as door width, kitchen entrance width etc.

So i just did partial rough drawings nia...

i will need complete blueprint than plan and see where will need extra electrical point, outlet for the lights, water etc.

waiting until sign agreement of lease than ask when is the earliest possible date to get the blue print and start to construct my own 3D model.

like this then easier to tell the contractor what to do and what not to do!

must standby lawyer also just in case contractors play punk.

another way is to use a game to play ard with the layout.

can go buy "The Sims 2" or the latest "The Sims 3" to try out and see how those games character react to your home layout design. lol
 
wah still got 3 yrs...we all like v excited and kan chiong already...but i think still must eat grass save more..else all the plans we have will be too expensive to proceed...

I think the door width should be pretty standard...
 
ryan> Oh, if really concealed pipings den gd! At least not so ugly & no need to maintain tat pipe, coz my current flat can see the pipes in the toilet & everyday bath, water will be splashing on the pipe b4 me, den will get dirty easily & need to scrub & even re-paint it.

kef> If the common toilet window faces the service yard, den still can do a door der? Den wat will happen to tat window, can take it away?
 
alicia> i think can remove the window ba i see my friend punggol flat oso does the same...but i see if gonna open a door hor...like alot of work...needa shift the sink...needa hack the wall...remove the window...like alot of $$$ involved...
 
kef> hahaha! I oso dunno leh... I tot those tings tat hdb gif standard de cannot remove one, tat's y i ask whether the window der can be removed or not. =)
 
Alicia> only the water pipes i am sure is concealed but for other piping like the "waste" pipe, i dunno whether concealed or not.

All> I got day job lei.. do bit by bit lor.. now only doing the 2D part mah. 3D still need blue print to see whether is the actual electrical wirings, water pipe areas then can plan the rest of the renovation and such.

After reading renotalk plus having friends in the ID line, i know the type of stupid pattern they will chut mah. standby lawyer to sue them lor.

it's a fair market out there. if they promise me certain quality, they better deliver lor. anything not satisfactory, no need to talk too much, take out quotation and talk to lawyer will do.

i won't short change people and i don't like to be shortchanged as well.
 
ah kiam> too excited and happy den no need do anything..everyday roll on your floor enuff le...enjoy the new house fully...rolluntil sian le den do something haha...
 
lol. aiyah... i taking this as a slow and steady 3 years project because i never really do ID project before.

So need to learn as much as possible and do lor.

My hope is that on that day I get the keys, i should be able to finalize the design within 2 weeks and start work lor.

so can fast fast move in. Hopefully if everything goes smoothly, the house will be ready by the time to do customary wedding lor.

Anyway although still got 3 years, there's an event coming up on home design and decor, share will all of you:

http://www.singaporeexpo.com.sg/index.php?option=com_events&task=event_details&id=142&Itemid=38

can go look see look see. I'll be going on the 4th-5th July period.
 
i get regular updates from Expo and suntec mah. :D

looking out for such things now as well.

go there look see look see and get a feel of the pricing and if lucky, see what others did for their homes that is similar to yours.

just don't tell them your house will only be ready in 4th quarter 2012 can liao. lol
 
cecilia> yeap.

Alicia> if you are going to bintan, you can check with the people who arranges activities. they will recommend a place outside of the resort for massages.

IIRC, it's $25 for an hour, full body massage. I didn't tried it though.
