Dear all, JFYI, I bought V-Touch Junior 56" (K14Y2) from Hwa Ann at RM430. Boss is friendly and will even open box to let you see the set. Sensa 4 is out of stock. But he quoted me RM490. He will also check if you are buying for Singapore and will prepare the invoice accordingly. Hwa Ann is quite pricy. I got a quote from YES at RM 390 for the V-Touch Junior, forgot to ask about sensa 4. Anyway, for those traveling. Once past Causeway from Woodlands, go down Jalan Tebrau (Tebrau Highway). You will past a row of shops on your left with prominent light displays. That is Hwa Ann. If you continue to drive, you will see a big cross junction, with Jalan Harimau on the left. Diagonally across you is Plaza Pelangi. Keep right and at the next right turn, you will see a Good Year Tyre shop on your right. Make a right turn and go straight. YES will be on your right. Good luck!

Comparing between SAMSUNG and LG inverters vs MITSUBISHI. I dont turn on my Air con much. Maybe 1-2 times a week. And during hot months like April to June. So was wondering if it is worth it to shell out on a Mitsubishi. Hope to hear your views. Thanks!

Hi, Thinking of getting roller blinds to block of sunlight. Any recommendations? Main priority 1. Block sunlight 2. Easy to clean (wipe with cloth good enough) Thanks!

Hi All May I know where is a recommended place to get bed frames? Looking for a queen sized bed. Thanks,

Hi all Totally new to reno. Some newbie questions. 1. Inverter vs Non Inverter - Whats the difference? Heard inverters cool faster, less expensive? - I normally dont use the air conditioner unless its the warm months (Apr to Sep), even then generally do not use. Which would you recommend? 2. If I buy a system 1 (1 compressor + 1 unit) - Will I be able to add more units in future? - Currenty I have 2 units to one compressor on level 2. System is quite old, but still functioning ok and rarely used. Thinking of adding one new compressor + 1 unit to master bed room. And in future, maybe 2 more units downstairs. Is this recommended? (living in HDB masionette) 3. Window unit trade in - Are there any trade in services available?

Bed frame i believe you can custom it. Bed Sheet at most you get a queen and tuck underneath. The size that I found online seems to be between Super Single and Queen. That is why I am asking if this size is available in Singapore cos this seems to be a standardised size. Sorry if I sound confusing. Just asking if anyone found a size like that. Thanks!

Hi, Is there a bed size that is between the sizes of a Super Single and a Queen? I did a search online which gave me a size called Double (54"x75") which is 137.2cm x 190.5cm. This is quite ideal for me, but does this exist in Singapore? And where would be a good place to shop for mattresses? Thanks much!

Definitely carpentry the ID will do, cos i want to have wall wardrobes as i dont intend to buy ready made and keep changing when it spoils. Just to check, usually an ID will draw/design the place down to the lights, accessories like coffee tables and stuff and proceed to help u purchase or u purchase those urself? thanks

hi all, i was just thinking, if i decide to buy my own furniture and lights. then what does the ID do? does he only come up with stuff like wiring and some carpentry work like wardrobes etc? cos i think the ID makes most money out of getting the furniture and stuff for you right? thanks

Hi, Suppose I want to start discussions with an ID or contractor to get their quotes, what are the things required? Floor plan? (Can I get this from HDB or something) Photos from magazine to show roughly the type i need? Also, what are the things I need to tell or ask my ID? Thanks.

Thanks very much. Guess I will get a couple of quotes then. Thanks!

Hi, Thats what I thought, but after reading around on the forums, I have the following concerns: 1) By just engaging contractor, mostly dont come with warranty, also, no professional communication and supervision (ie. no designer designs, everything by description). This then requires constant supervision as they work. 2) With reference to point 1, is the money saved worth it for the constant supervision, time spent on looking for a gd contractor, lack of warranty? Thanks, hope my concerns arent too ridiculous, really quite paranoid cos my dad did some reno some yrs back by using a contractor only and kena some real bad job. Budget is pretty tight, so dont have much flexibility if the contractor screws up. Thanks.

Hi all I am looking to renovate my mansionette in Bishan (about 15 years old) I have some rough idea what I want to do and will only require the following: 1) Fixing wall wardrobes and maybe cabinets/drawers 2) Redoing toilet (3 toilets) 3) Redoing kitchen I intend to buy my furniture like dining table, lights, sofa etc myself. Would just like to seek you opinions on whether I should get an Interior Designer or just get a contractor. My concern is that if I just get a contractor, he may not fully comprehend what I want in terms of colour, measurements etc. Also, warranty concerns. Also, if I get an ID who I understand will find and communicate with the contractors on the wardrobe and maybe moving the electrical plugs around, will it be very expensive? Please help, as this is the first time I am renovating my house. Thanks!
