Well said. You hit the nailS on all the headS. The point on hacking is so apt. When I went house hunting, I don’t even consider those whose rooms are hacked to combine. Even more so about practicality like open concept wardrobe. Also I want to mention, best to do full floor to ceiling cupboards. Don’t leave gaps especially at the top. You won’t be so free to dust it every week. I hope to hear more stories and ideas on how to coordinate with contractors when you have a rough idea of your own Design. And I totally agree the Taiwan IDs are so inspiring that local IDs hv much much catching up to do.

Hey Alex, for new HDB flats (5-10 years old), there is cat6 cable running thru the walls, and you should be able to convert the telephone cable in each room into a LAN point quite easily. You can verify whether your house is LAN capable by opening up one of the telephone cable in the bedroom. If they have 4 wires connecting to RJ11 telephone port, and 2 loose cable connecting nowhere, it means you can convert that into your LAN point. This will provide more options to place a 2nd or 3rd Wireless AP in your house, improving the Wifi connectivity. Maybe you can use that for your part 2 :)

1:00 haha guilty as charged. We are converting our 4R BTO into a 1BR. Somehow nothing anyone says about resale value will change my mind. In order to get the kind of space we really want, we'd need to move to a landed house, but we'd need to be so much richer to afford a landed house that I don't think the 100-200k difference in resale proceeds from our BTO will be our primary concern. On your channel you (rightfully) advocate practicality, functionality and cost-effectiveness. But I need to feel an intensely personal connection to my home and I don't think I could be happy knowing I could have done something really interesting with the floor plan but chose not to because of resale value.

Hi Alex. I am going to renovate my house soon too. Wanted to go for vinyl flooring for my rooms but some IDS and contractors advised me against vinyl flooring as it is not long lasting. There will be discolouration after a few years and sone parts of TVs flooring will pop out based on their experience. Your thots on this?
