We purchsed a HDB flat (gov't housing) in June. We decided to go this route vs private as it was 1/3 the cost and twice the space. We ended up with a nice 1600 sqft 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath split level condo. We got a pretty good deal on it as the owner was looking for a fast sell as he needed the cash for his struggling business. What we didn't realize was that there was extensive water damage in the kitchen from the 2nd floor bathrooms. We'd hoped to delay repairs for a while, but finally had to give in and have the bathrooms done. The contractors hacked out over 4 inches of old tile and concrete. We subsequently discovered that waterproofing had never properly been done. Once we have a clear idea on the job situation we'll be doing the kitchen next, as there is water damage on the ceiling and cabinets. Our fridge also sits in the dining hall as we don't have space in the kitchen given the current design.

Why does it look like the toilet is in the shower? Is that normal or did you design it that way?
normal for the common bathroom. there is a hot water heater and a shower head on the wall and that's it. we could have put it on the other end of the abth, but we wanted to maximize the space. Our bathrooms are larger than most, you should see what they look like in smaller flats.
how do you keep your tp dry?
