Esso Gas March 2012 $36 nett after discount - RRP=$42

If u buy from authorized dealer, there shldn't be any issue of safety or fake gas. Check w the distributor aka Shell, Exxon, etc whether the shop is authorized or not, if unsure. The price is the RRP (Recommended retail price)which is the standard pricing, but retailers do give discount to win the market, hence the coupons. Like petrol prices, the rrp between the main players are almost always the same.

seems there's a current promo with Esso gas with $7 off + lucky draw So I guess the after discount price shld be $33 nett. Anyone can confirm that?

let's start a price-watch for LPG gas here...listing as follows: - price, capacity, month-purchased... SingGas (aka Shell Gas) Esso/Mobil Gas - $30.50 nett after discount, 12.7kg, Feb 2011 Solar - $30 nett (after $7 discount), 12.7kg, Jan 2011, SPC Note: to update, just copy/paste from here into your post. Nett = included GST

$30 in Jan 2011 (after the $7 discount) now don't know...can call them and ask w/o obligation...

oic, "thin" = narrow. yah, I agree the workmanship is terrible...even the small piece they put in is not fitted straight. When I did mine, I was a little concerned about the fitting, since I was told they pre-cut first, but thankfully, there wasn't any problem with alignments. But the difference between yours and mine was the placements of your plugs (both switches & power). Mine did not have any upper gaps and in-betweens, so they were able to just cut a rectangular piece off at the edges of the glass where it matters. Whereas yours require precision measurements and precise and accurate cutting of the holes (where each switch or plug is). IMHO, I don't think anyone can get it fitted in accurately during installation without having to make more filings or cuts UNLESS they have provided for some play around the edges of the holes, but these will again leave large disproportionate gaps around the plugs & switches. But like they say, the narrow strips of glass in between does posed a huge challenge!! (but I'm a layman, maybe there are professionals who can and are able to provide precision fittings.)

try this

hi, the brand "solar gas" I'm currently using (previous was esso, mobile, shell...over the years) do not hv any odour cause when I plugged or unplugged the head, I did not smell anything, unlike with the others...and so I erroneously thot that all the other brands are the same odourless now. If that is so, I think I better switch back to esso or shell.

rubber hose...over time becomes brittle and form tiny cracks/holes.

hmm...I think this is more pragmatic than listening to that guy and changing it every 3 months, altho I doubt many would do that, probably more like once a year for most people...it's more like playing on kiasuism. it used to be that the gas had some smell, but it seemed that nowadays the gas is odourless, so that "test" is ruled out.

aka bottled or canister gas...one lpg delivery staff told me that the hose should be changed every 3 months? Cost: S$10/m how often do you change yours? do you replace the hose yourself? where do you buy your hose from?

can get a quote from alex, I did 2 windows cum grille with him. his contact at post 169 or earlier.

oh yah, the problem you're facing needs a "think out of the box" solution and my point was it's better to secure it by a bottom latch. samantha's idea seem good, u might see about doing a side latch if at all possible.

my wrought iron gate installer advised me to drill a hole in the tiles for the bottom latch, as it will be more secure...so I agreed and he did. He was very careful and did a very slow drilling till he got past the tiles.

yup, same here...the wardrobe I bought about 2 years old now, were moldy already a few months after delivery, even now the mold returns after a few weeks or month after wiping. the set I bought was terrible in construction, the doors were mostly all crooked - just the other day, I re-drilled the hinge holes to bring down one of the door height so that the top corner will not catch against the top edge. yah, so now the gaps where the door should cover is bigger...hmmm, maybe should just dismantle and dump all the doors and use curtains to cover. I had another one that is a shoe cabinet from the same place, though no mold problems, but the shelves are all warpy especially in the middle section. think wardrobes have to buy those with good wood, or else go for local made (plywood) or custom local made.

can try ikea for one...

hmm, seems that undermounted sinks eventually develop these problems of leaking. I had been also debating whether to undermount and had read about many instances of eventual leakages after a few years. My contractor told me that the daily load of utensils and other items placed a lot of pressures plus the natural gravitational pull would eventually cause the sink to "sink". So I'm going for top mount despite the fact that undermount is my preference. One solution is to get your contractor to top mount your current sink if it can be top mounted, or else top mount with a new sink.

no, the issue wasn't whether it was a mixer or a normal 2 way...I brought it up because the shop owner told me that this tap (which was a 2 way tap) cannot be used with instant heater but with storage heater. So as TS brought up the instant heater problem with the Rubine rain-shower head, I thot there might be some commonality there.

thanks, great explanation!!

2 way tap similar to this kind re: 5684C

hi, what's the reason Alpha gave for the incompatibility of using rain-shower with its instant heater?? is it because with instant heater, the temperature has to be set very high to get heated water? If so, that might be the reason why the instant heater burst (over heated). I too recently bought a 2 way tap (italy origin), and the owner mentioned that this tap cannot be used with instant water heater, only with storage tank type heaters...I regretted later not asking him why? anyone can throw some light to this issue??

so far I've come across only one shop having them (UU) but have yet to drop by... hoe kee has granite ones, but prefer SS. anyone seen them in your shopping trips (and would appreciate if u know the pricing)?? thanks lots.

for top-hung glass sliding doors so far I've come across 3...Besglas; SwingSlide; PDdoors - the latter 2 are probably from the same source. If you're using for toilet door, top-hung bi-fold might work better, or else the PD slide-swing might be more appropriate, given the door width.

like this?? not sure if they have, but hv u asked at courts, ikea, etc...even those small furniture retailers at heartland centres.
