  1. Hi sorry, i think i've long time no login to renotalk. Joemit7850, the contractor is Gary, his number is 9675 9568. I engaged him for my whole house renovation service. Reliable and good!

  2. Welcome! Just take precaution. It may trip our MCB if the wirings are not good or the live wire kena water from the bottle.
  3. Yes poper. Connect the Live, Neutral and Earth wire properly. Always take precaution. On the heater itself, make sure the earth wire also connected to the copper bottle that heats up the water. For instant heater, i would prefer Panasonic one. Cos its cheaper, faster to heat up, nicer shower head and got a safety button. Which means if there is a surge, only th heater will trip, the whole house will not blackout.
  4. Nope. He spent about 3hrs

  5. Hi, yah true! My 127.5cm by 180cm tinted glass mirror cost about $800 also. Maybe you can ask the shop people to deliver for you at a small amount? To fix the mirror, remember to use Max Bond and let it settle for 3 days before removing. And use silicon on its sides for beauty.
  6. Cool thanks! Saw it liao... it does tricks people!
  7. Wat kind of lantern? Those with burning candles one? Just be be safe, use something strong like the double sided tape that has the sponge material. If you wanted to take down and scared that it will leave stains or peel the paint, you can use some methylated spirits to remove it. The spirits can easily be bought from your neighbourhood hardware shop.
  8. I think normal clear glass is not expensive. You can check out Ikea for those standard cut sizes or need to go glass maker to custom cut one.
  9. Hi ben263, Ya, won't be drilling it. I got buy Maxbond but the glue does not seem convincing leh... can really stick it ah?
  10. Same brand? Will quality be compromised?
  11. Hi, what is the stone for?
  12. Hi 70wood, Thanks for recommending!!!! Erm... i think should be able to flush without sealing the whole door. I'll just have to leave a gap between the door and the frame. =)
  13. I happened to see this at Carrefour Suntec Cost $11.20 for 45cm by 200cm. I'm sure most DIY shop got sell.
  14. Hi, thank you for your reminder! Yah, i will not paste onto the tube itself. Will leave a gap or do my own casement for the colour paper. Do you have any recommendations on what kind of paper to buy? =)
  15. Hi, T5 are light tubes that are hidden from your eyes. You would only see the light and not the tubes. Its specially for cove lightings where people only want the light to be bounced on the ceiling to give nice effect. Thus it will not look like any party lights. =)
  16. Hi, We've a few T5 light tubes that is cool white. But after installing, it does not have the effect we want and the shop is not willing to let us change. One method is to use a colour paper to paste over the tube, to make it orangy look (warm white). Can anyone recommend this kind of coloured paper? Thank you!
  17. lol... you were actually asking about the location of the Formica company? Its at No. 502 Sims Avenue Singapore 387567. You can google map it loh. Yah, self-fix and homefix are ex. But certain designs can only be bought from there and not the neighbourhood hardware shop. You know of Sheng Siong Supermarket at Punggol? Opposite it has a few blocks starting 61x with A,B,C,D. These blocks are under a project called Damai Grove. You can go there and pick loh. Some units already got people staying while most units are still vacant / under renovation. As long as the places are open and got no boundaries, you can just go in and pick loh.
  18. For the wood laminates, i dun think it has any adhesive capability. You would need to buy the glue and apply on it. If you want adhesive one, you can try Self-Fix or HomeFix. They should have but the designs and sizes are limited. Punggol is at North East of Singapore. You can take North East Line and alight at the last stop, Punggol. =)
  19. Oh no, not that i want to seal up the room. I just want to put something on the door to make it flush with the wall. And yes, i will have to use the room to store things too
  20. Hi guys, first of all, how big space do we need for the warehouse? I can try searching for any cheap rentals. I suppose the warehouse is also big enough for us to store our uncompleted projects. I would feel that using workshops in schools are not that practical. Because they may let you use for a limited time. But if your DIY requires a longer time to completed, where are you going to store your things? Unless the school let you put with them loh. I used to work with a HOD of IT dept in a secondary school. Now he's promoted to VP. Do you think i should go ahead and ask if he lets me use his school for DIY?
  21. I think should not be a problem but the ah neh actually collect it and sell to garang guni. So, if we want, we have to buy from them. I saw a big piece of tempered glass, the size about 2m by 1m. Its inside the rubbish chute. I think they collected it and put it there, ready to sell. But they never lock the rubbish chute. So i wondered if anyone can just go in and take.
  22. I'm in the midst of renovating my house and i'm very sure i will have alot of spare tiles. If you want, i can give it to you but only when my renovation is completed. Else, you can go punggol area where the place is still under renovation. Got many things to find one! Like plywood, gypsum board, wood laminates, pvc pipe, tempered glass etc. Really alot! Some couples, due to changing of design theme, threw away the unwanted design materials and it was such a waste! My wife and i found a 80cm by 80cm by 8mm black tempered glass. We intend to do a coffee table with bamboos. One of the edge was chiiped off but we are ok with it. =) These are the bamboos that we've bought. Intend to make a bench also... hehe
  23. Hehe... thanks! Ya, i've got the area painted and it looks like part of the wall. Its the cheapest way to do a box up! The wall patty is really very handy and good to use! Hehe... But the gypsum board is abit brittle. I can use my fingers to snap it. I wondered if it can hold on long or not...
