hi, i just finished painting my walls, below are some of my experience... if it's not plaster, it's good idea to plaster the wall before painting, makes painting a lot easier. also must apply sealer first before the actual paint or else paint may peel. there's 2 type of sealer, water & oil based. water based: more for living rm & bedroom cellings and walls oil based: best for kitchen or toilet cellings suppose to last longer. i choose nippon 5L water based sealer (ard $26), i heard from my contractor got another brand of water based sealer 20L ard $40 plus starts with 'M'

is the cost inclusive of sealant? if they dun apply sealant, the paint will peel after some time.

for electrical applicanes no need to buy so early cos the prices will decrease in time, new model release, old model price drop. maybe u should wait till your reno start b4 making purchases?

now panasonic 42" plasma, 42c10s is selling @ $999 plus $300 ntuc vocuhers nia. my set will be arriving tomorrow frm goh ah bee.

1. think they will relay the pipings for u since it's part of their free installation. 2. no idea, can call gain city or other aircon vendor to check 3. 2 trips means 1st trip to install pipings and insulations and trucking, 2nd trip to install aircon unit hope this info help

i saw the advertisement in 'Today'this morning, the price is not cheap, remember to check a few other places like www.coolserve.com or even courts before going down to grab your aircon. for aircon installation shd be using thick insulator, i was charge $120 for it. if they charge u, tell them other places is free (e.g courts). i got some bad experience with gain city installer can check my blog for details.

nice progress!!! shd be able to finish on time.

u can check with your town coucil, think they'll arrange for people to dispose of them.

welcome back!!! heng ah not injure. so how's your carpentary? everything completed?

how much was quoted for your reno?

ok i'll try on a small area first.

Some quick updates: Last weekend sibei siong ah, finished with my painting with the help of my 2 ex-army mates, ah boy and ah bui. They say i slimmed down a lot leh, wat happen, i told them must be the painting from the previous week. We started painting from ard 1pm to 8pm. Their standard very high lor, i show them the bedrooms me & my wife painted, they say got lots of touch up to do, if u can live with this we also nevermind, so embrassing man. hahaha yesterday i started to touch up my living room & kitchen celling @ ard 10am. seriously no joke painting the celling man. afternoon my wife join me as we started to scrub the floor, we used ''GIF', it's quite good at removing stubborn staints like paint, grease ... eh how u remove the dirty gout line??? only manage to clean a few part using 'GIF' after hrs of scrubing

they sell electrical applicances lor, fans, fridge, tv, washing machines. i ordered my elba washing machine, dryer, pansonic plasma, mitsushibi fans and frigde from them, just call them and tell than the model no and they'll quote u the price. u can call to check the market price from them b4 going out shopping lor, so got a rough estimate of the pricing. but they dun provide extended warranty that HN, BEST have.

pbtgal, nice progress so far. i love the ambience cove lights create but like that u say maintance siong and most of the time i'll be doing it, so skip cove lights for my reno. takomi, hahaha, i experience b4 gaincity guy very diffcult to communicate.

how's your aircon installation today? everything swee swee from gain city?

i) i ballot for 4plus years still cannot get new flats, it's not that ppl dun wan new flats but govt is controlling the supply & driving up prices ii) Some flats in Pungol / Sengkang near mrts also asking COV. iii) this depends on your own planning, some people sell high so can afford higher valuation. iv) i agree with not paying COV, some of the COV are just ridulocously high housing market in the end is still control by govt, now only bto so supply is limited. wat to do, either u wait long long or buy high high

welcome welcome!!! hope u can have a smooth reno. remember to upload pics soon.

same here, intially my wife wanted a 3 seater L shaped sofa but as mine 3 room is the longish type', no space to walk so have to settle for 3 seater. : )

ya i told the sales, than he say peak period so more expensive and need to wait 1 mth for saturaday installation. my colleague got his aircon installed by courts in 2 weeks, also on a saturaday.

MM, i call a few places before deciding on gaincity, like coolserve, best tech, gaincity cos i thought gaincity famous for their aircon installation shd be quite safe but... among the few i call best tech price is cheaper. think ard $1550 for mitsubishi sys 2 non inverter while gaincity is $1660 but i thought pay more for good service. mine is using the R22 type pbtgal, i remember when i first ask the price it's ard $1560+, than one week later when i go order it shoot to $1660, they say peak period so price increase. you got pay more for thicker insulator & extended warranty?

ya lor, i stay behind CHIJ, love the place cos it's very quiet. think i'll travek to the bus stop in front of CHIJ to take bus no.123 n 195 to mrt lor.

ya lor their price is quite expensive, thought pay more for hassle free installation but this is wat i get. just some feedback: timing : was on time, took abt 4 hrs to complete everything service: ok nia, i ask them to cover back for me but they say can ask my contractor to do for me. lucky my contractor say can help me do but need to pay for trucking. be careful when they lay trucking. must as them to retify any mistake.
