Hi I just got my keys to my unit and we're anxious about getting it renovated. However, i've always heard scary stories about overcharging and poor workmanship etc... It doesn't make it better to have spoken to 2 contractors and i could sense that they were more about fleecing me off, hence i decided to get piecemeal quotations on my own to validate the price. I'm on renovation loan like many of us, so i hope i'm paying the right price for it. Help me, let me know if the pricing i'm getting is reasonable! I don't want to pay too low and get slipshod work too. 1. Lighting Points - $30 ea 2. Single Socket - $45 ea 3. Double Socket - $55 ea 4. Instant Heater Installation - $50 5. Hood/Hob/Oven Point - $80 ea 6. Telephone Point - $50 ea 7. SCV Point - $90 ea 8. SCV/Data/Power Loose Wire Extension for TV Console - $30 ea 9. Data Point - $90 ea 10. Downlight Installation - $10 ea 11. Ceiling Light Installation - $20 ea 12. Wall Fan Installation - $20 ea 13. Ceiling Fan Installation - $25 ea Hope to have your advice!

Hi, I'm going to be your new neighbour! We have just confirmed purchase at the newer flats along Strathmore Ave! Your reno is looking good!

Aluka, congrates, the end is in sight.. lol.. Trust me, u will have to clean non stop till you move in and settle down. The 3 days before i move in, moved in and after move in, i vaccum and mop at least 10 times...

Apologies for the late reply, been ridiculously busy with work the past couple of weeks. You are from Topaz? Yes, this largely depends on the temperature of the incoming cold water. The colder it is, the longer it takes to heat up the water although you can set the gas heater to a higher desired temperature if you prefer shorter waiting time. After using it for 5 months, we have no regrets getting the gas heater. E27 is the name of the socket standard. E27 downlight is the conventional bulb while E27 LED downlight is the LED variant. As simple13 has mentioned, you can simply replace a E27 LED downlight if its faulty or if you just fancy of change of tone. I only use E27 LED bulbs from Philips bought locally from Self Fix when they were on sale. As for the E27 downlight fixtures, I got them from http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=20591696410 They were from Amazon as were the rest of my networking tools. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003SSX1Z2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Your ID is extremely reasonable to ask Carpenter to take back to factory to fix the wardrobes. It is going to result in additional transport costs and time and labour. You are lucky to have someone like that.

sorry, which holes you referring to? LOL. Actually, ants are so small, they can simply even live in a crack in your grout line...*touch wood* - not that my grout line has cracks. I think it's not possible to have no ants. Can reduce them by ensuring cleaning up of food drips on table/counter and throwing the trash out every day . Yes, i found ants....they usually appear at dining table area. Just a few here and there, not serious....no idea where they came from. They don't march in a army like those in my parent's house, you can trace them one whole line going back 'home'. My place's ants are more loner types, you see one or two appearing on a ad-hoc basis. There is also a lizard living somewhere in my kitchen. I have never seen it, but I have cleaned up it's droppings a few times liao. Luckily my entire kitchen wall is tiled, just wipe with Mr. Muscle and the brown streaks comes off cleanly.

pls pm me
