Anyone has done that before? Please share contacts! Thanks.

Last year May we renovated of our resale flat and used Dulux & Nippon Paint for our walls. After 1 year, I noticed most wall that painted with Dulux paint, have fine crack lines or peeling badly. Where as walls that is painted with Nippon Paint has no such problem *at all*. Anyone have the same problem?

An hr ago, got a sales person came to my flat and talked about the same thing. He also showed us how easily it is to open!! Now we are very worried what if the person who came is actually one of the accomplice of such break in. I asked the person twice to give me the company contact/hp # so that we can call back later but he refuse to give!!! Saw from one of the comment that the lock itself only $4. The sales person said per lock charging $45 and that the lock is expensive he only earn $6 per installation... Luckily I rejected the offer and googled. Anyone able to share reliable contacts to install these safety lock? Am going to check out with the 2 companies where I got my grille and doors from. Hopefully they wont charge too high for installation. Also, does top hung window needs such safety lock? We dont open our top hung windows thats facing the corridoor though.

We got our re-sale unit audited by FS master 7 mths ago. Told FS master we are installing ceiling fan in living room and all 3 bedrooms. he adviced it is ok to install ceiling fan with light. also the ceiling fan must not be directly above head ( u wont get any wind anyway if it is directly above ).

simon yah, lots of july/aug babies got fever recently. SCCPLGUO my contractor havent gave me the final one. curryqueen end up i use my contractor's cos the electrician recommended by someone renotalk is not lisenced & he wants to work at night/weekend which is against HDB rules.

Hi curryqueen! congrats on your new flat! came to this blog via your "How Much Cov Did You Pay For Your "loanshark" Flat?" thread. Did you seriously bought it?

Curry Queen, in the end you bought the which had been "decorated" by loan shark previously? We are not aware that previous owner borrowed from loan shark and the first time we went to see the flat, the wall was totally clean. Nov 2009. Everything went smoothly including my renovation. We got our key on 26 March. After almost a month of renovation 15 April till 10 May, everything was going well. But last Tuesday (11 May), it happened. My contractor called me early in the morning at 8:45AM, telling me that I need to make a police report as our entrance have been splashed with yellow paint by loan shark. The COV we paid was $6k. It was low but the condition of the flat was not great either. Really upset about it and if we could predict this kind of thing can happen to us if we bought this unit, we will not even consider about it even though the COV was so cheap. Also, we suspect that whoever borrowed from loan shark, borrowed after our 2nd appointment. Really don't feel like moving in anymore after this incident but we are worried that if no one is staying in the house, loan shark runner will break into our house and destroyed our newly renovated flat...

Splashed paint by loan shark thanks to previous owner Really pissed & upset about it. Have made police report but they are so ineffecient. Asked us to go down to police station again to explained everything again so that we can get a print out to post on our door step/lift. Till now we are still receiving previous owner's letters. My hubby have emailed ICA (or something) to complain about the previous owner Ang Poh Kee suspecting him that he have not changed the address. Ofcourse when the agent contacted the seller, he claimed that he have changed his IC address also that he is not the one who borrowed from loan shark and he pushed the blames to his previous tenants (teenagers x4 - 3 girls, 1 boy & 2 foreign chinese women). A few days ago, received another letter from LTA (summon) addressed to Ang Weili Wilson (suspect he is the seller's son). Cannot be so 巧 all the tenant's surname are ANG. There are letters direct to Wendy Ang (if i remember correctly). But ofcourse those are not our letters, I dropped them to the "returned mailbox". Time to email to ICA complaining about this Ang Weili Wilson for not changing his address. Is there anyway for me to complain to ICA so they will take action against ALL those whose address are under MY address? Incase anyone else who are unknown to us have their IC registered under MY address. So pissed. Seriously don't know which idiot went to borrow from loan shark and caused us so much troubles. How are they going to compensate if anything happen to my family? Especially my son is only 9 MONTHS old. Really 没人性. 人楂.

This will be our first & last time purchasing a resale flat. The next time better to ballot directly from HDB. So much Safer.

gimz My hubby is the impatient & forgetful type. In the end I asked the electrician to shift the location as well as install the fan for us. Also for the light, shift to the middle of the wardrobe. =) Splashed paint by loan shark thanks to previous owner Really pissed & upset about it. Have made police report but they are so ineffecient.

simon, no update for blue kitchen yet haha on tues carpenter bring the rest of the doors there and we have to leave before they finished installing. Zachary was having high fever since monday night till fri night (yah just now)

Painter said for those project thats not rush, he do for Patrick. But for rush one, someone else do. Heard that someone's reno done by Patrick got a bad painter, not this uncle right? Nevertheless, being a perfectionist when comes to my house, will need to check every corner of the paint work.

master bedroom light Will it be better if the light point shift to middle of wardrobe? pissed at hubby that he said it is ok again. really ugly... is it his house or someone else's? is he like this because I am the one handling the whole thing? Kitchen light - got this because hubby thinks oil will splash so high. i love my service balcony light. donno why the "everyone got this!" common toilet light - love this light too the "everyone got this!" storeroom light - love this light too

Tuesday morning received some depressing news about our new flat. Decided to forget about it for now. Here is an update: Living room ceiling fan Dining light My son's room ceiling fan Study room ceiling fan, 1 blade is faulty. Waiting for Fanco to change the blade. Master bedroom ceiling fan - need to shift a bit, else will hit wardrobe door when it is on & we open wardrobe door... Really pissed that my hubby says that he is ok if it is not shifted. He can dont open wardrobe when the fan is on blah blah blah. Wait till one day our wardrobe door flung out or something and hit Zachary. See how he regret.
