that mirror+cabinet+tap+sink seems ok. the same setup from ikea costs about $550 without tap. tv console + coffeetable at 1700 seems quite high. i would say above average price, but you never show picture so can't really say.

finally found out the answer to this question.. The Lightweight Composite concrete block in this photo is 3 inches wide, 6 inches tall, and 12 inches long. A total of 8 - 16d common nails were hammered in without predrilling. There are no cracks. In its lighter densities concrete absorbs shock. The majority of regular concrete produced is in the density range of 150 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). The last decade has seen great strides in the realm of dense concrete and fantastic compressive strengths (up to 20,000 psi) which mix designers have achieved. Yet regular concrete has some drawbacks. It is heavy, hard to work with, and after it sets, one cannot cut or nail into it without some difficulty or use of special tools. Some complaints about it include the perception that it is cold and damp. Still, it is a remarkable building material - fluid, strong, relatively cheap, and environmentally innocuous. And, it is available in almost every part of the world. Regular concrete with microscopic air bubbles added up to 7% is called air entrained concrete. It is generally used for increasing the workability of wet concrete and reducing the freeze-thaw damage by making it less permeable to water absorption. Conventional air entrainment admixtures, while providing relatively stable air in small quantities, have a limited range of application and aren't well suited for specialty lightweight mix designs. Lightweight concrete begins in the density range of less than 120 pcf. It has traditionally been made using such aggregates as expanded shale, clay, vermiculite, pumice, and scoria among others. Each have their peculiarities in handling, especially the volcanic aggregates which need careful moisture monitoring and are difficult to pump. Decreasing the weight and density produces significant changes which improves many properties of concrete, both in placement and application. Although this has been accomplished primarily through the use of lightweight aggregates, since 1928 various preformed foams have been added to mixes, further reducing weight. The very lightest mixes (from 20 to 60 pcf) are often made using only foam as the aggregate, and are referred to as cellular concrete. The entrapped air takes the form of small, macroscopic, spherically shaped bubbles uniformly dispersed in the concrete mix. Today foams are available which have a high degree of compatibility with many of the admixtures currently used in modern concrete mix designs. Gecko Stone of Hawaii is currently experimenting with one such foam. Foam used with either lightweight aggregates and/or admixtures such as fly ash, silica fume, synthetic fiber reinforcement, and high range water reducers (aka superplasticizers), has produced a new hybrid of concrete called lightweight composite concrete, or LWC.

I haven't checked the lowest prices yet, but IMM Best sells it at $188. Does your family eat 5 cups a meal?

I have decided to buy a rice cooker due to the following reasons. 1) It uses less electricity than microwave (see here) 2) I can use the rice cooker to cook other things like pasta, etc. It's amazing how many dishes you can cook! 3) It will never burn your food, and safe, just in case you need to attend to your baby while in the middle of cooking 4) You can still use your microwave for other foodstuff while your rice is cooking. I would use a rice cooker to cook porridge too As for maggie mee, i'd use my induction hob. (more efficient than conventional microwave ovens)

looks like only MBR toilet (2k) and balcony (2k) redone, rewiring (2k), removal of false ceiling and minor carpentry modifications for kitchen only (1k), granite worktop (2k; assuming $200 pfr and 10ft) no hacking of other walls/floor tiles not much carpentry no replacement of windows 15k seems high, i'd pay 9k

I seriously hope you are not paying 40k for that reno haggle it down to 30k

my suggestion oh the common toilet's door should be accessible from the living room, instead of the kitchen

Can please reply or PM me with the following details? Company of Van Rental? Nett price of Rental? Weekday or weekend rental?

hi bergkamp, i am interested to venture to jb to buy some fans too, although not kdk. can i check with you how you got your fans delivered over? did you rent a van to drive over? from what i know, you are not allowed to drive in commercial vehicles with G plates. did you stay in malaysia for 1 day or more? what was the rebate like? if i stay longer, what will the rebates be like?

interested to get this rice cooker Zojirushi NS-LAQ05 fuzzy logic rice cooker * 220-240v, 50hz with 3 pin UK plug * 3-cup capacity of uncooked rice - enough for 1-3 people * White, sushi, porridge and brown rice settings * Non-stick inner pan * Keep warm function * Low energy LCD display with clock and timer feature (for up to 13 hours in advance) * Detachable inner lid

so quiet... anyway was looking at refrigerators over the weekend. decided to get this one R-SF37SWPS 4-Door Solfege with A.I. Inverter Compressor & Nano Titanium Technology.

welcome to RT, fellow 3-rmer! where's the floorplan

why so long?

welcome to RT! i'm interested in the tiling you use. can pm me the contact?

my swarovski is cheong one

met 1 contractor today willing to do hacking of walls only will get the quote by next week. met another guy who is able to help me do up walls. he told me that i shouldn't build new walls (changed position from existing walls) using hollow block bricks as they are very heavy so may affect the ceiling of my neighbour below. he advised me to use this "compressed air bricks" which is much lighter. i explained that i will need to put some cabinets and my chimney hood and he said he will add in metal supports. anyone heard of this "compressed air bricks"?

you mean the water piping below the sink is done wrongly? how did you intend for it to be done? I wanted to do exactly the same thing!!! same panels too. what's your dimensions and cost?

what do you mean? can take a pic and show us so we know to take note?

30k would be worth it anyway, To supply & lay 4 bedrooms w/ Pergo laminate (610 sq ft) $2,860.00 is dodgy at $4.68psf what range are you getting? if it's pergo family, it's totally not worth it. get it direct from pergo distributor (flooroption) at $3.8 or so psf or just get robina, $3.3 psf

MK switches are very loud.. you don't know what switches you're getting?

i think i know why when water accumulates, your ceiling will be have one big patch of wet plaster, then the whole chunk fall off and hurt the occupants

initially i thought it's ok to plaster ceiling, have plywood storeroom, make any windows, convert planter box, and have 100% privacy mirror film
