thinner is usually what pple will recommend - cos it wont cause any other disasters(see below). acetone = can remove lots of stuffs(stains, paint, oil stains...etc) but it melts plastics!!! 1 drop alone will see your plastic discoloured/damaged. use acetone with a lot of care. if got paint on your aluminium/steel windows or grill can use acetone also. NEVER on plastics. After my renovation completed there were lots of unknown stubborn stains on my tiles - tried nearly everything available in NTUC, scrub like a old maid - yet the stains minimises only by 10-30%. When i use acetone - I only need to wipe it off once and stains are gone.

it's everywhere. downlights that uses energy saving bulbs. bulb burnt, change bulb. cos the ballast is inside the $5 energy saving bulb. choice is - replace a $5 bulb or remove the downlight or pull out the wires and replace the $15 ballast? if you dont know how to change - got to pay for a electrician to do it for you some more.

10000% my fault....

1)hack n retile whole house plus 3 toilets and 1 kitchen and balcony 3x toilets already 9k, kitchen at least 4k-5k, ground and 2ndflr at least another 12k 2)change windows and grills this is actually the cheapest. if windows are from hdb, keep it. I didnt do grill for MBR, if Mr spiderman can climb in, he can have everything. no grill(cage for balcony) , only do grill separating livingroom and balcony. 3)rewire whole house below 3k 4)2 wardrobes in mbr subjective - from 2k onwards 5)1 kitchen cabinet subjective - from 2k onwards. 6)paint whole house below 3k

waterproofing got warranty - forgotten how many years liao.

can try calling them http://www.carltonglass.com.sg/

as long as it's belong $1k anything around 700 or below just take lor. you need to calculate how long/how much will you save per year. most Sharp fridges drinks electricity.

moderate cost 1x toilet = $3k 1x kitchen = $5k-6k

ya. if player dead can just put a teddy bear

before you embark on your project. nowadays electronic products SPOIL easily!!!! most only last till the last day of their warranty period. unless you are getting a B&O....then different story.

best before 6pm weekdays sat morning

go make friends with pple who has a DANG KEE neighbour then you will feel you aint so unlucky after all. when you burn so much sandalwood in your house - you wanna close your door? reminds me of smoked salmon.

cable sleeves from ikea or daiso.

agree. it's one of those monkey see monkey do thing that refuse to die with the IDs/contractors. unless you want to wash your kitchen ala hawker centre style.

for downlights - get those without ballast. cos when the ballast kaputz - you will have a hard time trying to replace it.

1) partly is ok - if worried - put a partition/curtain. 2) what door? bedroom door? 3) no worries. kitchen = fire

this is a real interesting selling thread. reminds me of MLM + back alley gambling.

theres a old saying BORN poor = not our fault Not marrying a rich gal/guy is 100000% our fault.

get plumber - proper job done. DIY only if you know how. $50-$60 to change (including parts)

3 small ways that will definitely cut your PUB $$$ guranteed,stamp,chop,signed,thumbprinted. 1) never put any electrical/electronics on standby - that small little light blink blink for 24hours eats into your bill. manufacturers claimed it's only 1watt per hour - but lots of pple already tested...some are up to 5watts per hour.do your math. 24hrs x 30days x 365days..... 2) never use a electrical thermo pot. 3) never use a electrical water kettle.

still got time to look for a WHITE horse - most of them can afford a $270k GTR

no harm giving him a call. and make sure you tell him that you have a small library.

yes. new house(new to you), new stove, new life(new marriage life).
