How do you use this HCL89? Can we just wipe the existing wall clean, let it dry and then apply this HCL89? How to prep the mixture?

Thanks Casa!

Hi , how much did they charge? Just for the moving house? And how many trips (based on x? ft of lorry?) Thanks!

Looks like a good buy dragonite. Take photos after the install yah?

Hi , may i know what's the market rate for psf of Solid top and psf of granite top? And that of a china/korean quartz? I think i might have problems with my contractor and getting a refund from his quote (which i have already paid up in majority) in the event i use my own countertop if his recommendations are not suitable and he is supposed to refund me. And not only for the kitchen , he was supposed to provide me granite top for bathroom and since i needed white for bathroom vanity and granite is white-friendly, we can follow the same practice as above. But now he says his quote for his tops are very cheap. And i remember 1.5mths back when we talked about this issue, he mentioned his quote is based on the countertop rate i had mentioned to him. Anyone pls help? I need the market rate of above urgently. Thanks!

Reading the reviews here, i checked LiteFusion out. Their prices are ok , i don't think it's rockbottom for published prices but you can bargain for discounts. Bought their wc x 2, one is on offer and the other is at an ok price. Probably if i tried to get negotiate for discount for 2nd wc, they will accomodate some. But i was too glad to find a shop with good service and very obliging. I have a small pipe protusion (water outlet to wc, i think) at the bottom side of existing wc which might block a one-piece wc . So i need to be careful what design i buy. LiteFusion recommended that I checked properly, but if it really don't fit, they are willing to change to another design for me. Not all sanitary ware shops are this nice. I also bought a few other bathrooom accessories and led downlights. I got a decent discount off the lights and they absorb gst. Decent enough for me. At $1.8k , herbalteh probably bought 1-2 sets of wc and basin, plus other stuff. Do check them out.

Hi , i'm trying to buy a 2m or better yet, 2.5m track for my track lights. Most places i check out in SG only have 1.5m. So I was forced to buy fr. taobao but there is much delay due to the coming China holidays. Anyone have recommendations? Thanks!

Updates : - Following my ranting on renotalk, i emailed Amazon a short msg on my disappointment that they don't even allow replacements given that the sink is flawed and the cost of freight back to US from SG which equals the cost of me buying the sink from them. I think my utter resignation in the entire matter , sort of made an impression on them. Before I email to Amazon, i had already decided to cancel off the refund request and try to sell the sink or if not, donate to charity. At least i don't need to worry about sending the sink back. - Went to recce hoekee and hafele. I find that hk's round edge , normal stainless steel sinks have a better finish but kraus's sink in terms of gauge might still be more sturdy. If I get the same quality as per hafele's showroom at kaki bukit, i have no complaints. It's the same size as kraus , but i think the depth is shallower but sufficient. S$469(gst included, german made) - My second Amazon ordered kohler sink arrived. Quite sure it's china made but it's lovely! The external Amazon box was squashed and dodgy but the inner kohler box was sturdy enough. I also ordered a pop-up drain which is china- made, quality is not so good. Have to be prepared for problems. But the sink's quality is good. Phew! - I did a second review of the sink incase i was queen of neurosis during the first review. Rubbed (not scratching) very hard at the blackspecks and managed to remove all(ifnot most) except for one visible one left. Scratch was also removed. But the horrible corners/striations are still all there of course. The inner sides of the sink (which anyone using the sink, or cleaning it will come in contact with, will definitely feel) feels rough. Unlike the sink floor with the drainage hole which is smooth (like normal sinks should feel) . Rough as in when they didn't do a through job in smoothing the steel surface. So you will feel some pricks on your hands as you run your hands across. Won't cut your hand (i think), but can definitely be felt. Checked the bottom and it had a tiny epoxy scratch scraped off its base(can see metal base). I can live with this cos' it's not in my face but not the striatons, horrible corners and prickly sides. So, i am not using this sink. this pix shows the small spot i can't remove (without further chemical? help) and the obvious row of striations running the longer inner bottom edge. - Went home and received an Amazon reply. They are willing to refund and also replace with another kraus sink (but no stocks now and i need to confirm if i wish so). So they will do a refund and recharge of the same amount to my credit card. Also, they are wiling to pay for the most economical freight for me to send the sink back to them. Very very decent of them i must say. I feedback the latest status on the sink(black specks/scratch removed) and that to me, it's still a flawed product(as above) and leave to them to confirm if their offer remains to refund and pay for my freight back to them. If they are, i'll send it back. Of cos' it's a no go on the 2nd kraus. Too old to take this amt of stress and risk. See what they say first...

Thanks! Will check out Ideal bathrooms, balestiar. I saw an ad by KHK for a 2 day pre-stocktake sale. hope you had seen it too. Wanted to go but didn't and went to hemsley's sale for wash basins instead. I had liked Franke initially but it's China made. And i have already got a kitchen faucet , so the package deal is not as attractive. Yes, the price-friendly SS blanco sinks are usually the round typical ones , which are not what i'm looking for. I'm going to check out Hafele's square sink/s which are in $400 range, German made, 304 SS quality and 1.2mm (similar to 16 gauge). what to do? haiz....

They will take returns but not replacements as long as you bought it fr. Amazon export. But after exploring the freight cost(huge fuel additional charge) back, it's not tenable to send it back. Nett nett i'm better off accepting this sink and sell it off at a discounted price. Message to anyone who's interested - price is very negotiable. just pm me.

Since the sink is meant to be undermounted, i think it's better to return the sink and not to get a replacement fr. Amazon , rather than risk it. Will look for a good stainless steel sink in SG instead. Luckily, my flooring was cleared up today and i had the chance to lay everything out to check. Any leads where I can go to ? Good quality stainless steel sink with the same price tag? I also ordered a kohler sink and it's going to be delivered tomo. Also ordered fr. Amazon. Now i'm worried. hope it will turn out good.

Black dots. You can also see the rough workmanship of the rounded corner (to me). The diagonal corner is even worse (but i didn't take pix anymore cos my heart sank literally.) Very obvious striations that stare back at you and also, black dots that can't be removed. More black specks Black line/scratch?

Unfortunately, my Kraus sink was not the best quality either. I bought a 23" square ss. Along the bottom edge, and especially near the rounded corners, i find the a row of striations (possibly made by the machine used to create the rounded edges/corners. Not just one edge but definitely along the 2 longer edges. Do the rest of your sinks have these? It's difficult to photograph. It can't be felt with your finger but i put my sink on the baywindow and from my standing height, i can see these striations without having to bend over my sink to see them. So that bugs me. Next there are some mark spots at one corner of the sink. I will attach pix shortly. And a tiny black scratch? line? along one of the lines leading to the drainage hole. Maybe i kena a lemon sink. hmmm... did all your sinks have such details too? Or am i being ultra fussy?

Isn't there the lemon law you can use on this carpentry company? Please consider. It's really half-baked carpentry skills in action here. I can feel your pain honestly. All homeowners are using their hardearned money to finance their renovation costs which is not a peanut sum to start with.

Hi casa, where did you buy your bathroom basins? what dimensions are they? I'm at casa clementi too but having a headache buying basins as all their sizes are so large. And especially the mbr is sooo tiny. Thanks!
