Prolonged Dusty Floor After Renovation
hihihi replied to Honeygal's topic in Home Maintenance & Repairs
u can clean the air... get an electronic air purifier -
for those units with kitchen window overlooking the outside dustbin dump area. Anyone did something to the window to add some privacy to the kitchen? Since anyone who walk to the dumping area can just look into your a portion of your kitchen, and into your living room direct. there was once I went to throw something, I accidentally see my downstairs kitchen so clearly. Then I looked at mine, I can see right into my living room.

anyone did this to their living room windows Left = before Right = After

seriously it won't give u the "wow" factor. Visually I cannot differentiate whether it is brighter than normal paint.

homo tiles are actually same material as porcelin. so if this kinda thing happens, usually it's quite a dead end. Coz the thing is already being absorbed into the tiles.

ericivy79's marble gouting is has a darker colour than aijo's. From the picture, it makes the room very dark and messy. If I were u, I would hack it even if it's gold. But seriously, don't keep something if it's going to cause you any regrets later on. Coz home is a place where u need to feel comfortable. And flooring is most important coz it comes before any other renovations, so u need to think carefully. You can consider overlay, but need to take note of the permissible ruling for floor-to-ceiling height. if u decided to keep. like someone suggested, go direct to contractor will save u quite abit. Coz ID will sure take a bite. + this kinda thing needs little coordination. Just ask ID to stopwork on a weekend, before any carpentry goes up, to do the polishing. Normally ID don't work on weekends. And polishing is almost noiseless... so u can ask the polisher to work on weekend.

This site is pretty useful, you can abuse it sometimes. Just BK your matters to them. If it's not under them, they'll forward it to the relevent office to handle. Best thing is that you can track the issue progress if u key in your info, since some organisations are famous for complains-loss-in-cyberspace tatics.

if not good, then u still buy there?

at least paint a layer of lacquer, makes it easier to wipe for dirt and also contain the pine wood smell, unless u like the raw pine wood smell.

proper site for most of your complains (illegal parking, rats, stupid ramp, stupid trees blocking your driving sight, spoiled playground etc)they seems to act faster if u attach pictures. The site only allows 1 attachment, so if many pictures I usually paste into a Word doc and attach as one file. If filesize becomes too big coz u attached too many pics, then PDF it will become very much smaller. http://app.orc.gov.sg/Home.aspx

electrician will just use powertool to cut a grove into the wall and bury the wire inside, then plaster over.
-
visit ICI or Nippon paint website, they have some colour scheme for u to get some idea. Otherwise go library look up reno mag to get ideas. Wallpaper are nicer but comes with a hefty price, one wall will cost u from $400~ and above.

u wanna fill with cement or more commonly plaster (putty) is up to you. Important thing is eventually the hole becomes invisible and u can paint it over.

What Type Of Lock Suitable For Cupboard Doors?
hihihi replied to shopaholique2008's topic in DIY Corner
u can easily DIY a locking hasp on the door. appearance wise it may not be nice. -
it's called a "line box". It comes in different diameter 60mm, 80mm, 85mm, 90mm and different materials and colours. Buy it first before buying the hole saw attachment. link: http://www.made-in-china.com/image/2f0j00O...re-Line-Box.jpg places like normal hardware store or Shanghai Tonglee will carry these.

I had done abit of study on this b4. Gas tank is in rather standard height+width. My 12.7kg tank measures 30cm wide, 60cm high. If u noticed coffee shop design, they have a series of tanks located outside somewhere, then they run metal pipes leading into the cooking area. So the gas man just come and change the tanks outside. for your design, if u really really paranoid abt hitting the drain pipe, you can ask carpenter to do a inverted L-shape to compartmentise the gas tank from the sink drain loop.

How To Know If A New Dining Table Is Stable
hihihi replied to cecilathome's topic in Home Furnishings
any table u buy u should not expect it to shake. If the delivered piece is shaky, then straight away reject it. -
redo better. curtain pple can still use hand to sweep it one side and peep. redo got many many designs. Actually they can do anything custom made to your liking... + upper half slide or louve, as u like - lower half fixed, cannot open - lower sliding... anything is possible up to your imagination.

Noticed the lifts has been each fitted with 2 cam. Wonder those are real or fakes.
