Hello all! Have been following this thread since day one! Anyway I'm a woodlander here! Gotten 60+ for my bto woodlands. Did any one from woodlands bto receive their package or no? I've not gotten mine :(

Hi,
Mine also woodlands and q-number 10+. Haven't receive appointment date and package yet.

Sigh. Come join the TreeTrail Facebook group. Think there are ppl there actively monitoring the appt date and package. Hehe

That's my plan. Gonna knock down the service yard walls as well but finding an area to put the fridge is gonna be a problem.

can knock down anot arh. I read the HDB reno guidlines like cannot knock down. Best if can, so can extend the kitchen.

is there anyone else here who is going to get the lower floors for the amk bto too? Although i m still a bit pek chek with the long waiting time for the scheduled appointment (2 jan 2013!!!), I hope when my turn comes, I still can get units which are around the optimal 5th or 6th storey, and no more higher...

Currently I am staying in one of the neighbouring old hdb blocks at 12th storey (which is abt the highest for the old flats), and the evening sun is seriously no joke - it literally just shine directly in ur face... although the DBSS is tall, but it is not positioned in a manner which can help to shield the sun from my block. and at least for my neighbours which lived downstairs, the sun's impact isn't that bad - compared to mine at 12th storey, which is literally a free oven!

I can't imagine the new bto development at 32 storeys - how much more amount of heat which the higher units have to endure compared to my current old block... though it can be argued that curtains would help to block the sun, but the heat would still be trapped in the house, like the greenhouse effect... (If only HDB had built the new flats lower and positioned nicely just behind the DBSS, so that the DBSS would help to "absorb" the heat"..)

is your unit facing west ?

Lower flats = lesser units = more disappointed people

drying laundry is the easy part... just use the dryer machine.. after living through so many years of life in an oven baked environment, i will never follow my parents footstep & go for the high floors - i do not want to go through the next 60,80 years of my life where i immediately sweat after just 1 minute out of the bathroom... the heat & sweat is no joke for high floors - super jialat.. ah well just hope i can select my low floor units on 2 jan 2013..

Not 100% sure, just base estimation on current typical floor plan on hdb website and hdb floor plan with dimension from other source.

Can't show you the image or link from the other source, i do not have sufficient post count to post images/links.

Do you know when will HDB provide the floor plan with dimension to us?

The large HDB package that they will be sending to us?

Or do we have to pay $5 for it??

The actual floor plan with dimensions will only be provided to u during ur selection appt as different units have different dimensions, so they can only give it to u after u select unit

High or low it's a matter of preference have their pros n cons for example a landscape garden is better viewed from low to mid level than looking down from high . For me, I've stayed middle & low floors but for this BTO am aiming for 26 above as I had enough of littering onto my aircon ledge from the units above ..
