When HIP , was it possible to sleep in master room?
How many days noisy from not only own flat, but neighbours' flats.

Master bedroom cannot la. Other rooms can.

Just tong 5-6 days. After water proofing approved then is cleaner and smooth sailing.

No need to ownself buy plastic wrap. Days before HIP commence, they will come and wrap for free.

During HIP, some would sleep elsewhere, some would just sleep at the hdb and use the portable toilet to bathe (just need prepare one small bucket to put the shower bottle and shampoo bottle, and one towel).

After that can ask them help you paint your house. Their prices are cheaper than market rate.

2 nights only?
I can't wake up so early in morning to come over.
Also, is it easy to book a taxi early in morning? I can't take public transport since last year
only the 1st 2 days are the drilling and hacking with the most and fine dust. After that you can stay at home for the 2 weeks HIP to complete.

No need to come back home, cos nothing to steal at home all things already wrapped up. Dont need to lock the door too so the workers can go in the morning to do work.

But it will be very troublesome and warm to stay at home with all the plastic sheets and wrappings cover your door and windows.

Including cabinets, fridge, beds sofa, computer etc?
The room downstairs, is it usually crowded? Cos I need to pee very often. So I'll need to spend most of my day there?
I can't use pampers. Tried when I was in hospital .

Just to clarify your comments.
The residents have to buy the plastic sheet and paste them for dust protection.
Or they can pay some contractors to do it for them.
I have NEVER heard of the HIP team doing it for FREE.

Thanks for info .
What if I want to install bathroom fixtures? I don't want their normal sink. I need a countertop to hold on to ( my current one has that from entrance until just in front of the toilet bowl) so that I don't fall. Will they do the installation? Or must I get my own installer?
Will they also change water pipe?

buy your own stuff and ask them to install for you. But u have to tell them or the supervisor specifically where to install. Else is u plan for 3rd party installer to do your fixture right after the HIP
