machiam like back to preggy days: waiting game... haha.
things have been pretty quiet since both ourselves and our buyers exercised our options to purchase.
HDB first appointment has fixed to be on 1st week of nov. meaning that ive to hand over the keys to the new owners by end dec! *gasp*
which means!! we have only 3.5 weeks for renovation and moving into our new place before we are "homeless".
personally, i find the timeline tight though many have said it takes at most 3 weeks for condo with minimal reno.
hmm... guess it depends how fast my contractor can work and how "extensive" our eventual reno plans come up to be.
my back-up plan is to shift all the furnitures to a warehouse (thanks god for the lower storage rates compare to last time) and shifting back to my parents' place for a week or two.
i actually prefer this plan cos i want the reno to be a proper one rather than a rushed one where we need to rectify defects afterwards!
but stingy hubbi is of cos very very reluctant to go down this road. well, 由不得他! :P
well well, we'll be meeting up with our previous contractor tomorrow. lets see if the timeline is doable by him. :)
yes, we are going back to our ex-contractor who helped us to do up our current redhill flat. we like his honesty and upfront attitude.
and he will tell us pros and cons of different materials but leaving us to make the choice ultimately.
i felt our reno costs was a steal given the work done and the worksmanship (everything well intact after almost 6 years!) but heard that he is not so cheap now... @_@
shall see what the quotation come up with..
the only drawback is he is still at best a contractor, not really an ID, though his staff do come up with some nice 3D drawings for us last time. in fact, all the false ceiling layout were thought by them.. ha. shall see if their "skills" improve after these years!
our project's developers have just submitted approval for TOP to BCA.
*fingers crossed* hope it will TOP by end oct so we can do 1 round of defects check before we get the key in early dec.
can only wait and see. how exciting!
luckily, the best lesson that i've learnt from having 2 boys is 以不变应万变!
ok, getting crappy haha.
updates again!
