  1. Guess I do not have much choice here since i wont be making a L-box lighting...i cannot use KDK fan... any other brand is recommended other than reliability and power of KDK? I need one which is able to mount the light to replace my current florescent ring ceiling light. this will be my study room. anyone has done this before from this website http://www.sgappliances.com/ceiling-fan/443-ceiling-fan-with-led-light are they reliable? I am looking at their this 48" promotion at $380 with 20W LED light mounted. any advise?

  3. i would like to add additional starhub tv points in each of my bedrooms. currently only has 1 tv point in the living hall. if i were to add additional points, do the electrician linked up from the living hall point? problem here is that the point is currently concealed in the built-in cabinet. another thing is, anyone has any lobang or recommendation of electrician to do these? what is the estimated price like per point?
  4. would like to know from you guys... my bedroom does not have any L-Shaped light box...only having a ceiling light. no ceiling fan. Intend to get a ceiling fan. however what can be done for my lighting? I would like a KDK fan but i understand KDK doesnt have any modeal with mounted light on. doing a L-shaped light box will be too huge renovation and cost for me. If i were to have a ceiling fan, and link up by the side a fluorescent ring ceiling lamp, will i get this irritating blade spinning shadow in the room?

  6. hi would like to add additional starhub tv points in my bedrooms...currently only living hall has the tv point. any recommendation of any electrician? and usually what is the pricing like? by the way, to add the extra points, electrician needs to link up to the original living hall point? if yes, i may have a problem, as the living hall point is already concealed in the built-in cabinet...
  7. thanks lady_R... Will drop by CASE office later in the day to find out more. Hopefully things can be settled soon...its been dragging too long for this reno work
  8. thanks guys for some encouraging words... currently being quite busy and headache over such matters...have not got the time to reduce the picture size to post up here...please pardon me. pocket oredi a big hole over this 50K reno...everything is so badly done...electrician come once in a while to fix something and ran off so fast...then come again another day, etc.... cabinets' laminates are with scratches... initially told the contractor (designer) to lay extra corrugation boards on the floor and protect those cabinets...he just said his guys are the most professionals and they will do the best and careful job in the house...and now this is wat i m getting from all the so call "professionals"!
  9. have already paid more than 35k upfront... still got around 15k left...and i m thinking of stopping work and ignore paying the rest (the rectification is still so slow for all areas and the contractor will only come once in a blue moon!)...will this be of my advantage or disadvantage is we were to go to CASE? in fact its more upsetting when relatives and friends came over to take a look, all of them shoke their head and sounded their displeasure at the workmanship and quality of material used for a near 50k project
  10. will upload my pic soon and share with u guys... now whenever we spoke to him on "how can the design be like that?" He will simply replied..."its meant to be like that". I am not someone who shouts at people...perhaps he is taking my kindness for granted
  11. Hi Bros.... Not sure if this is the right section to ask... anyway, my house was done up with very poor workmanship in almost every area... wonder if you all have these experience? and How you all resolve this issue with the contractor (or in charge)? I have engaged 1 party to do my my house a few months back but we cancelled his service before he began work because he did not do things which he promises in many occasions. Got refund for the deposit except for a few hundred dollars of penalty. We sourced for a few more, asking them if they can match or lower from our previous contract. managed to get 2 of them who can. decide to gave the job to one of them since its my friend recommendation. Contractor appeared sincere and helpful.... Started work at our new house in November 2010...we trusted the contractor (designer), and did not ask for more drawings since he said he had already offered us a very good price (and also he is my friend's friend). Its Feb 2011 now...things are almost done. 1) Homogenous flooring tiles are poorly joined, edge can be felt, contractor mentioned "out of goodwill" they okie to replace and try to retify a few tiles...but now, it is still poor 2) Carpentry - laminated poorly, quite alot of them had scratches from the poor handling of other workers, some areas are poor joined for some surface. You feel as if they had made poor planning while pasting the laminate, and they had to cut additional pieces to patch up. (this is made worse with our laminate design being those wood grain type, so its very obvious) 3) Wall Paper -Poorly uneven cut edges. poor silicon/patching of the edge to the floor. Some with air bubbles inside. 4) TV console - contractor mentioned budget is not enough, has to remove some glassed previously agreed upon. and the sides of the console now is raw, done with painting, and its badly painted, very rough and raw. 5) the list goes on... The workers don't come so often these days as the contractor is showing attitude these days...and hangover is not done due to our displeasure of the quality of work done. Any advise for me? will bringing this to CASE help? and contractor has even said that if bring to CASE he is not afraid too.... Hope you all can give me some advise as I am very new to all these...
  12. I am oso facing such issues and I am very tiring and sick of hearing the ID sales designer giving lotsa excuses... Have uneven homogeneous floor too... nw requesting them to come to take a look again... some tiles have hollow sound too! realli dun like the attitude of the ID sales designers these days...everything oso wanna charge
  13. Hi All, Would like to seek your advise and experience on homogeneous tiles... bought a new HDB flat recently and I had the contractor to do a homogeneous flooring for the living hall. I was surprised that the tiles are Uneven, edges so obvious, and some areas having hollow sound! I will be telling the contractor about these. Usually what is the remedy to these issues? Do I get them to remove all tiles and to ensure the floor is level before putting on the tiles? Or they will simply use grinder and then buffer the tiles? What is the correct way of doing actually? Hopefully the contractor will not give me a quick and temporary solution just to entertain me in the short run, but not solving the issue in the long run. Hope bros and sis here can advise. THank You.
  14. Great! Any idea what is the diameter (or furthest distance away from the fan) the wind can circular or blow underneath the fan? Cos my bro recently mounted the fan at a low height and may need to shift away for safety reasons...but afriad that shifting away may not get the wind from the sofa area
