Pauline,
I have yet to use the oven. All our houses are still under renovation, remember? =D
But my friends are giving me pretty good reviews. The only bad point is it does not come with auto-timer off, that means you got to set your own alarm, dun want burnt pineapple tarts, ya....
I was told that the oven is currently out of stock, it will only be avail in Sept which I find it's fine for me.
Mosaic, I was told if the heater is not off, the hot water will be constantly avail & was assured that I pay whatever hot water i used (dun know if this's true.)

Seems like there are alot of things to be done, gonna be very busy this Sat already.

Pauline, I am getting a Ariston oven also but is not this model.
I am tinking of getting Fisher & Paykel fridge but read from another forum tat if it need repair, it may be difficult to get its spare parts, Jap fridge will be easier to get repair service and parts

Pauline,
we'll be given a brochure of the City Gas, we have to contact the sales person. Mosaic_fish and I will be counting down for u, feel excited for u
Oh ya, 4-rm also has, we saw as one contractor brought us to see one 4-rm unit before.
Mosaic_fish,
I still don't know the pros and cons of having a gas water heater, but thought since it's free, may most prob get it
My_gal,

Hi all,
Read some comments on water heater tank. My ID told me that the heater given by HDB is gas heater. For gas heater, we could not boxed it up as it needed air to work. He said we must get electric ones (still heater tank, not those instant heater). Not sure if it is true. Anyone check this with their ID before?

Calbee,
my ID told me if we get electrical heater, then we can install it in the bath room, so can save the space in the kitchen. If we install the gas heater, must be at the designated area in the kitchen and for safety purposes, it's not wise to box it up but he will try to think of an idea for us, still hasn't come back to us though

Piper,
my ID will submit his padlock key and he'll be there to oversee their cement screeding. We won't be submitting the house keys as we would like to use HDB's door and gate. Timber flooring looks really nice, it's natural wood like parquet but a bit more expensive right? If I remember correctly, it's longer strip than parquet

Pauline,
u must reach there earlier than ur appt time to buy fire insurance at level 2 first, then proceed to level 1 to scan ur appt letter (bring along ur change appt date letter if u did just to show) and get a queue no. If u r early, u will be served earlier as well. The rest will be advised by the officer serving u. You will need to apply for electricity/water/gas and collect the blue print for ur house after that
Oh yes, let's enjoy the reno process. We will have a sense of satisfaction when we move in later
Piper,
it will definitely look very good! Soon, a few mths later, u will be able to move in

Hello Mosaic fish
After I submitted to the Sengkang branch office, they will give it to the service office (the one located beside the car park). They called us 1 week later and said it's done. We checked, none of the stuff is done!! Then i told the officer at the service office, then we arrange for appt on Sat morning. So on that sat morning, we met up with them, going tru the stuff that need to be done. THey said they wil do it wihtin 2 weeks. 2 weeks later, only some of the stuff done.
I was really fed up, i complaint to the HDB Technical officer (TO). U should know who is yours, it should be stated at your form. THe TO is very nice, she says she will get those stuff done for us. And true enough, the next day those ppl start working.
And by now, i think most of the stuff shoudl be done now. So since the day we gave the defect list to sengkang office til now, it's almost 1 month!!! So, rem to have the list of defects u submit.
And also, we detected few hollow tiles at the kitchen. Initially those contractors said the hollowness is only at some areas within the tiles, so can't change. BUt when i told this to the TO, she says no such thing. She says if theres hollowness for one quarter of the tile, it can be change already. So you know those contractors are really lazy!

Hello all
I bought the sofa from HTL Intl. The leather is really good. It's a good buy coz on special offer...heee.
Go check them out...but it's far (11 Gul Circle, Tuas).
For sink, we bought the Blanco (18/10, 316 grade) from Hoe Kee. We were advised to get one piece of sink and to get 18/10 grade. And also, 18/10 has 2 grades, one is 316 (better one), another is 304 (i think, this one is thinner). So we get the 316 grade.
Bed - Sealy Manchester
TV - LCD Phillips
Fridge - LG 2 sided doors
HOd, hoob and oven - Electrolux
Aircon - System 4 Mitsubishi Easy Clean
still got more things to buy....sigh...$$$$

Hi Orith, thanks.. wah.. really alot of problem.. tat mean if we submit the defects list must wait abt 1 mth for them to finish all. Haiz.. Dunno can start b4 chinese 7th mth or not.
Mosaic Fish, its my pleasure.
I started my renovation even before those contractor start doing my unit. As my defects are not affecting the initial stage of the renovation (electrical, ceiling work, and floring), so it's ok to start the renovation.
According to the fengshui master, u just need to knock on the door (as in purposely create a hole or crack), which means u have already started "knocking, ie renovation". So long u do this before the 7th month, it's still no prob
You really need to monitor the progress of the contractors and also your own ID too. Keep track what have they done, and what have not.
