Finally done with the fitting of our new lockset yesterday. The locksmith just drilled 1 additional hole into our main door to solve the problem. Btw, the locksmith who change our lock did a wonderful job. His name is Peter Teo. If anybody wants to change your lock, pls let me know and I will pass you his contacts. He also did electrical and plumbing works around the east area.

Hi all, I purchased a Yale main door handleset yesterday with the intention of changing my old handleset. But i found out the new screw holes' positions doesn't match my existing one on the door. What should i do now ? Can i re-drill another hole into my main door to fit the new set ?

Hi, Discovered some bugs that are oval in shape and black in color. They are size of an ant. They will fly a small distance when I touch them. Found them inside my toilet vanity and on top of my basin. What are those tiny insects? Really need urgent help in getting rid of these pests.

Yup, I guess I am talking about those.... I already called in the pest terminators...See what they recommend....

Hi all, My house was recently renovated. All the old kitchen cabinets was hacked and rebuild. Yesterday I found lots of small insects that looks like ants but much smaller size compared to ants. They jump when I touches them. Really scare it is white ants which might be quite a headache for us. Anybody encounter those small insects while your cabinets are new ? What can be the cause of it ?

Anybody know any lobang for made-to-measure study desks ? As I wish cover my 2 study desks from wall to wall and also to take care of my aircon trunking below the desks, I need precise measurements. However, I heard they can cost twice of what is off the shelf kind.

As I will be shifting into my new resale house soon, I need to change my main door knob. Do you guys normally ask the seller for help or other locksmith outside ? And what are the rates normally ?

Anybody got any comments for Fisher & Payel dryer model : DE45F56EW ?

I am also looking to get this model. Anyone can comment on it ?

Thanks dude. Btw, how much u paid for it ? Still can remember ?

Anybody currently using Hitachi R-Z481EMSX fridge ? Heard this brand sells very fast here due to its 4 ticks energy saving label and front jet freezing. Anybody encounter any problem with this model so far ? And where can I get it the cheapest ?

Actually the existing resale unit already has the windows grill installed and it is those lockable type. We just felt if we were to do the platform and need to change to a "fixed" grill will be too troublesome. BTW, my living room windows is only half height.

I am caught in a dilemma now....Need some urgent help from u guys... I am planning to do a platform for my living room. The issue is my living room windows is within the platform area. My contractor had submitted the request to erect this platform and HDB had approved it with a few conditions: Hardwood platform on floor **** room 14/01/2011 ; Arch: On condition:;a) No storage is allowed within the platform.;b) The side of the platform must be sealed up by non combustible material. ;c) Min 1m parapet height from platform level. Fixed grille must be provided if parapet height is less than 1m. The 3rd condition states that there must be a min 1m height from the platform level to the windows, else a FIXED grill must be installed. I called up HDB to clarify with the technical officer and was told that the meaning of FIXED grill is that it can still be open when necessary (and can be lock). However, my contractor insisted that it is those really fixed one and thus cannot be open or locked. This has put me into a very difficult situation as my contractor wants a black & white from the HDB technical officer to remove the 3rd condition but the HDB technical officer refused to issue one and said he had never encountered such request for B&W from a contractor. The HDB technical officer had even questioned me how long my contractor had been in the business. I mean WTH ???!!!! How I know the answer to his question ?? The contractor is not my father.... The thing is our contractor thinks "fixed" means those cannot be open type and thus if we were to do the platform, we got to change the existing window grill (currently is those lockable type). What should I do now ? We really hope to do the platform for our living room. Pls help ..........

We saw the ready made WIW at Ikea for abt 1K lower but since we cannot customise the internal layout we wanted, we have decided to just let Edmund do it......

Oh, thanks for the tip. Shall do the amendments later on..... Haha....it sure looks like TNT logo....Yup, it was a brave decision to use orange and white for our kitchen cabinet....We decided to opt for this color combination when Edmund showed us some samples. It was love at first sight.... We are still having problems choosing our tv feature wall, tv console and shoe cabinet laminates .....Initially we wanted white/light colors for all but it will make our living room look bland....

Any comments anybody ?

Thanks for voting.... I think is it because of the floor tiles? We will be choosing a different floor tiles design from the one we selected though....

Hmmm....White Gloss finish lor....No design on cabinet surface but got some on my solid table top...

And this is the coffee table & sofa I bot yesterday at IFC.... Feel free to comment.

Ok, as promised, here are my 3D drawings done by Edmund: We have actually selected design no 3 but thinking of doing some modifications to it such as orange color for top 2 drawers. Feel free to comment.

It is been a long time since I updated my T-blog....Here are some updates: We finally signed up with Edmund (Dx Interior) on 26th Dec. Will be starting our reno on 17th Feb after CNY. So happy to have him as our contractor. He had given us the 3D drawings for our kitchen cabinet. I must say they look very realistic. Even the ceiling lights was reflected onto the top cabinet. Kudos to Edmund!!! Damage done so far on furnitures: 1) L-shaped Sofa 2) Coffee Table Both bot from Forms by City Furniture @ IFC. Total damage : $3K. We just walked around IFC and really like the feel of the sofa and futuristic feel of the coffee table, hence paid a deposit for both items. I will try to post all the pics online by tonight as I am now using my office's pc.

Anybody bot furnitures from FORMS by City Furniture @ IFC Sungei Kadut before ?

Ok. Thanks for the tip. There are way too many furniture malls/shops in S'pore liao. Making me so confused. I have visited Furniture Mall @ Beach Rd so far, IFC is next on my list. Any other places I can go besides S&C and Hommage Trading ?

Yeah, the showroom was pretty empty when we went yesterday too.... The salesperson serving us had a change of her service attitude when we told her we are just viewing today and thus not buying.... Btw, where is S&C?

Saw Best now having the Xmas promo bundle set. A Tefal steam iron & Tefal kettle going for $80 (originally both items will cost $110 if buy separately). Both me and my wife think this is a good bargain but dunno how good is the iron. Anybody bot this bundle b4 ? And this offer might not be available after 31st Dec. Any comments will help. Merry Xmas....
