Hi guys, need some advice here. I have erected a partition board in the common bathroom In an attempt to conceal ugly sewage and water pipes. Through wear and tear, the paint of the board which are in contact with water / moisture has peeled. My concern is that it may become mouldy and further peeling may occur. What are my options now? I have read that using a primer and a PU paint on the board may solve the problem. Any suggestions?

thanks for the advice. I'm not given a choice on the size, as this is an option provided by the developer on the type of flooring. Last checked is that the ceramic is actually porcelain.

hey all, what will you choose if you are given the following flooring options: 1) Ceramic - 800x800 2) Beige marble - 600x300 Choice is based on: 1) Aesthetic 2) Ease of maintenance 3) Overall value if abode is up for resale Thanks for any advice. Regards

I have ordered 2 barstools from Winter. All i can say is that delivery is very slow. It takes almost 2 months to deliver. Reason given is that each stool is to be produced from Malaysia, bla bla bla.. Customer Service was good though.. The aunties who entertained me were forthcoming and sincere in trying to solve my issues.

i bght most of my taps and shower from L pheno 3 months .. prices may not be the cheapest, but the design suits my taste more.. i hv no problem with their services at all, but i was not served by PRC assistant.. there were scratches on the tap and the assistant even volunteered to send all the way to my flat at punggol..

yea, **** suay lo.. have contacted the gain city and their technicians will come and "check" this thurs. have specifically mentioned to the installer that the mbr is the one wif 15k btu. just got a quote from my id/contractor, total cost for tearing and refixing the box up and repainting will cost another $1.3k was thinking how well will this sit with gain city?

Hi all, not sure if anyone has similar experience to share. Got a 15k btu panasonic aircon fr gain city and trunking was installed in feb and blower installed in apr. Temp was not cold. So got the panasonic guys to check. Apart from filling up the gas. Was shocked to hear fr the guys that wrong piping was used. Instead of using that for the 15k btu aircon, that for 9k btu was used. Problem is that all the trunking was already boxed up. Question: if I require piping to be redone, thereby tearing down existing box up and putting new one, can the related cost be claimed from gain city? Will appreciate anyone to share or advise. Thanks v much!!

grrrr... was told that sharp system 3 shipment was delayed and without causing any delay in the rest of the reno work, i have no choice but to cough out additional $200 for a toshiba one.. bargained for waiver but no success

good to hear that GS597 can bake. got it at gain city expo 2 weeks ago (at $439). remembered i saw it has quick menu for "cake" but the brochure din state it can bake. was worried for a while

hi dmay & ossify, mind sharing where did you guys get the eubiq system? thanks in advance!

got a hybrid system 4 yesterday at expo: panasonic 15000 btu for mbr sharp 12000x1+9000x2 btu for guest room and living room total damage: 3900 Inc standard upgrade of armaflex n gauge n free 5 yrs warranty

Please kindly pm me the total cost as well. Do u know if they can customize book cabinet? I hv the design but need to find a reliable person/company to materialize my idea. Thks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing the diy tips. I'm also thinking of building a cabinet to store my vinyl records ( running to hundreds) now and a space for my turntable.

Hi LV for your reply. yea i am planning for 2 compressors for the same reason. also dun wan to slave drive the compressors unnecessarily. hope the non-inverter version will be cheaper.

Hi ossify, thanks for the advice. For my info: 1) what's the difference between joint and standalone? Does the standalone come with compressor (sori for the noobie qn) 2) As my guest rm can be "opened up" to form part of the living area (when there are guests), high chance i will need to switch on the 2 living room units and guest room unit concurrently. can the system 3 handle it? 3) which brand(s) will cost ~ $2.6K?
