  1. hi newnyew, was thinking of doing the same method constructing a cement block to sit on it, but my butt cannot take it, too cold. lolz I m looking for those wood chair that can found in the spa room, sleek and fine wood. Those chengal wooden chairs that you saw is it kinda rough? Anyway, I manage to found one supplier able to supply plastic type which can be mounted on the wall. Rite now awaiting for his pics and the cost around $80.
  2. For me, the support of the cushion will not slack within one or two years and must comes with warranty for it. Dont buy those comes with structured warranty, whats the point having a slack sofa cushion where the frame is still good!!! Provided that you intend to spend quite abit on the good quality sofa set, if not anythings goes.
  3. Yr 3 rooms comes with balcony too? nice!!! May i know which part of Bukit Batok? Really interesting layout.
  4. Nicely done up!!! Feeling is like country road, take me home to a place where i belong". lolz. Btw how much did you paid for yr unit?
  5. For ah soon u got to "understand" his dark side before you proceed to engage his services. As for Jason, no comments as i have no dealing with him. Based on the review, he seems to be doing very well, hearsay that his booking till end of this year!!!
  6. As above, preferably those wooden deck or plastics type which can be mounted onto the wall. cheers
  7. I think u needs to plaster the whole wall instead you will able to avoid the cracks issue, any good plaster can do the job.
  8. Used the space outside the master toilet to convert to WIW. For nego on pricing, give them a lump sum instead of break down costing. Items like electrical, paint work, piping including installation of the fitting and accessories, hacking jobs, cornice and false ceiling etc. For example, painting one lump sum including painting for piping, door frame etc. For carpentry costing using anything less than $80 is consider cheap, above 150 is ok, above 200 is ex!!! Costing depends on the selection of laminate, design and materials for the woodwork. For window grille remember to ask for SOLID one, if not they will provide u the filmsy grille. Is a painful experience for my fren as he thought is a norm!!! Yr norm is not the contractor norm, as much as possible they will provide u the cheapest material available that is their norm. Hope this helps, enjoy yr reno!!!
  9. Yo congras on yr new place. The 3D drawing looks super chio. Btw who is yr ID?
  10. Ok thank you !!! Checking out the link now.
  11. Ok noted thanks, will check it out. When thinking of the system setup already cause me headache, lolz
  12. hey, thanks in a million for the detail explanation. Being a noob i m thinking whether are there any wireless cameras in the market? The data i dont intend to save it on hard disks, instead in the website. So that i can access it whenever i want it. No worries, dont intend to put in the toilet or using it for spying, lolz. Mainly for security reason when i m overseas.
  13. hey sorry to hear whats had happens and thanks for sharing a painful experience with us. Just one question, didnt yr agent check her background, such as bankruptcy etc? If you knew abt it, would you proceed to close the deal with her? Heard that this unit the lady owe ah long big time, you didnt noticed anything at all when you visit the unit?
  14. U need to plaster over it for rockstone wall. Not so much on lizards or cockroaches, is the reno in-thing during the 80s. Anyone can do it as soon as they have the skilled. For cost, just call up the contractors and ask them for a quote, u will get the idea how much is the charges. Usually it is charges by psf, best u nego for lump sum. good luck
  15. I m a noob in this kind of stuffs, can someone point me the right direction. I m looking for camera devices to be placed at home and which can excess thru internet and most importantly comes with recording function downloaded in the website. thanks
  16. Changing the door lock is a MUST for resale, if u intent to move in without renovation , otherwise do it after the renovation.
  17. If you buying the switches on yr own, yes, if not lay back and relax. Oh!!! one more thing, as for the trucking and cabling, yr electrician will take care of it. cheers
  18. Err its all depends what kinda of work, material and design etc for the renovation. A simple 3 room can cost an arm or a leg too.
  19. For those who are still renovating their home ask yr contractor to do a "drain" or small groove line cut across the living hall. After that cover by laminate wood trimming and you can hide all yr cabling and wiring there.
  20. Thanks for the tips, which brand or model is the high end?
  21. hi, i can understand how you feel. i guess most of us facing the same problem when engaging his services. In my opinion, for the cost that you can save, got to endure. Call him again and let him know how you feel abt him delaying yr quotes etc. all the best.
