  1. labour kinda of expensive I think. CP in red, so you just agar agar their total labour costs. If done individually, maybe the high labour charge is ok, but bundled together, I think it's very expensive !!! Or you just ask them quote labour for 2/3 days work while you provide all the raw materials ?? I also dun know the market rate, cos mine is 'contractor' rate
  2. coloured switches will always be more expensive than white one. If you're not using a lot, ok lah. MK, Legrand, Scheneider, Fung Yip, T&J all also have
  3. paint prices are generally Fixed. Won't differ much UNLESS you buy from HomeFix etc.... To prevent kenna chopped, suggest you visit the industrial areas (Ubi, Eunos, AMK etc). These paint shops cater to contractors and are usually more competitive if you buy more than a can.
  4. For those staying in HDB, please go to your respective town councils website. They have negotiated with a plumber to give VERY good rates. Look under Town Council Services > Handyman Services
  5. Last year I bought a 3 rm 1969 flat in commonwealth. Factors impt (In this order) of to me are 1. Close to wife's sis - Who'll help us take care of baby as we're planning to have a kid. 2. Affordability - Would like to get a 4rm, but 4 rms in that area are simply too expensive. 3. MRT is 5-10 mins away 4. Amenities nearby 5. En-bloc potential 6. Rental Yield is good if ever I want to rent it out. Note that enbloc is never certain even though the flat is old. If have, it'll be a bonus to me. If not, then will just carry onstaying there. Furhtermore, my block (and others) were upgraded about 10 yrs ago - added utility rm + lift. Some say those upgraded ones will not get enbloc. So you have to ask yourself what your buying-factors are.
  6. woah !! this is serious sh*t man !! paint is NOT sticking to the wall (Where got so easy to peel off one?). something is very wrong. must them ...
  7. jaskel, sua lah. just take the money and do whatever you deem fit. All the indian chiefs and computer heroes only know how to type. NATO only. But I trust that you will sleep easy cos it was the best choice given the circumstances. People say until so easy, fact is many contractors wun even want to take up piecemeal jobs (not much to earn). Can never please everyone. Please guys, take a step back and put yourselves in jaskel's shoes. What would you have done in the same situation ? The money - YES - is not his, however, he cannot be holding it until the victims have a round table discussion how to distribute it (That is even a much tougher task, sure to have even more problems ) I figured time is the main factor at that time. Anyone who knows how better to handle, pls take the money (responsibility) away from him lor. jeesh ... over & out.
  8. hey kajua, cool ! timber lookalike rubber tiles. Got pics ? You mean many contractors declined to do vinyl/rubber tiling? Anyway, mind sharing whats the cost psf ? can pm me if its not convenient.
  9. wow ! first time I see a 4 rm flat got extra utility . maybe I suaku my flat even older, 40 yrs old
  10. hey people, on the subject of rubber tiles, has anyone came across rubber studded tiles ? Mainly used commercially (my office lift), are they ok for kitchen ? Will water seep through between the lines ?
  11. Featured years back in SQ Rooms. Met them once before, trying to find them again. Anyone ?
  12. hi hi ! your place very nice, i like ! very good for holding parties
  13. hi there, actually you do not have to be too concerned about the noise. I stay further down the road after tanah merah MRT. My bedroom faces the MRT track and main road. The first few days I moved there, couldnt sleep cos very noisy. But after a while , i got used to it and dun even notice the sound now. On a positive note, I got auto alarm clock, the first train passes my place ard 5.30, bus 6am
