gantan88 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2010 U can go opennet website and key in ur postal code. Just google or yahoo for the website - http://rollout.opennet.com.sg/. False ceiling is very flexible. It can be cut/make holes and others. Just have to patch it up and repaint again. The opennet ppl will probably not do it for u. But u can get ur contractor/worker to standby to assist during the installation in the future. Thanks for the link! Mine is btw March and May this year.. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ossify 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Hi ossify, are you engaging painter for your unit? DIY painting For 707, she initially quoted me $190, on 2nd visit i told her outside selling as low as $160 - $180. Then she deduct $20 for me. So i got it at $170.... Great way to bargain Bro, what is L-trim? does it cost more? I am doing my flooring next week.... L-trim means your laminates don't have a skirting that goes up the floor, instead the skirting goes down into the floor to flush with the wall. Lena didn't show you examples of L-trim in the Flooroption gallery? She said it costs more, but absorbed. Personally, I don't like skirting as the skirting colour doesn't really match the laminate colour and also there are issues of not being able to flush furniture to wall due to skirting blocking thus leaving a gap where creepy crawlies accumulate. Hi Ossify, The shop that i went to quoted $28 for the laundry hook. Is this price reasonable? How much did you got it for? My mom told me it's $10 for a pair. Apparently she bought the alum poles at $7.9 each. (I was shocked at this price) Edited January 17, 2010 by ossify Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My mom told me it's $11 each, they come in a pair so that would be $22. Apparently she bought the alum poles at $9 each. (I was shocked at this price) How many hooks are there?

ngunadi 2 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 I can not find the details for your pole holder. Where did you buy it with the aluminium pools ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ossify 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 By the way what is a T-trim for laminated flooring? T-trim is placed between your laminate and another surface of equal height. for example, i will have T-trim between my MBR and my MBR shower, my kitchen and my living room. I can not find the details for your pole holder. Where did you buy it with the aluminium pools ? i didn't buy it, my mom did. at the hardware store opposite my block Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alamak 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) hi ossify, your 707 compact water inlet, are you running your stainless steel pipe to it or water hose? cos i was told the water inlet is in the casing, if need to change, have to open the casing.

Thanks! hi gantan, i just asked again. The laundry pole holder is actually $10 for the pair, not $22. the poles are $7.90 each. (i think poles are overpriced) haha, L-trim or T-trim is meant for different purpose L-trim is meant for the walls, to replace normal skirtings. it points down instead of up so it covers up the exposed part of the laminate, allowing you to put furniture all the way to the wall. the normal skirting prevents you from putting furniture all the way to the wall, but some people view it as a form of wall protection. Is it necessary to use an isolator switch for aircon? My electrician uses the normal 3-pins socket, but the pins are rounded one. not necessary, it's only $11.50+GST. i don't know how much 15A sockets cost, forgot to ask I rather not have plugs for my aircon, since it's a permanent fixture so i chose an isolator instead. it's weatherproof too hi ossify, your 707 compact water inlet, are you running your stainless steel pipe to it or water hose? cos i was told the water inlet is in the casing, if need to change, have to open the casing. my plumber told me he'll be running pipe in, maybe using copper pipes as they are more easier to bend. the concealed part was using copper as there were a lot of bends required Edited January 17, 2010 by ossify Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
