  6. dear dear that's so traumatising and the boss is definitely will not give them any business thanks for sharing with us your experience, that helps us avoid a similar experience
  7. welcome to renotalk yes i'm also curious where is your new place first things first, you must decide if you need two kitchens if not you might want to consider changing it into a MBR instead so you'll have a huge living, 1 kitchen, 4 common BRs and a MBR good if you have elderly folks who need to have a bathroom in their room do post some pix of your new purchase for us to
  8. paiseh, GRUNDTAL is not 18/10 but 18/8 for normal use is good enough 18/10 cost quite a bit more than 18/8 but is more shiny coz the nickel gives the shine !! if you notice, GRUNDTAL cost a little more than other range for the same product coz only GRUNDTAL is stainless steel but the rest are either galvanised or powder coated steel.
  9. for my case cannot have island coz not doing kitchen flooring so if have island means the pipes will protrude and run on the floor now can only !! !! over other pple's island
  10. wah you also another innovative person leh i wouldn't have thought of sawing the study table !! !! the halogen light hor, difficult to mount or not? really peifu peifu :furious:
  11. think official is when the whole family wake up early, follow the auspicious time and bring the necessary (depends on you) and declare we are shifting in today necessary for me is 1. title deeds 2. rice 3. charcoal stove still burning 4. bowls and cutleries we are using then when reached there, open all windows and switch on all taps cook something sweet for the family to eat if furnitures are delivered earlier, dun put them in their place yet only put the bedsheets on after the 'official' shift-in in done !! think i'll shift things that we are not going to use in this coming month at least that'll leave me less things to worry on the actual day
  12. if you've got the fan new and paid for installation the wobbling is unacceptable coz installation includes 'balancing' the way they balance is actually by clipping some weight on the blade to ensure that the fan doesn't sway when it's on thing to note it while cleaning the fan, please dun remove those clips on the blade coz it'll cause the fan to wobble !!
  13. guess it's rather expensive to do upholstery the cost is almost equivalent to a new chair !! so most will just buy a new chair !!
  14. actually most plasma 42" is around $2k except pioneer PDP427 which is still going at $3k+ thing about plasma is the bigger, the cheaper and lcd is the other way round when are you going to share with us the story of your nick
  15. hmm must really ask patrick about it if i tell him MaCe will he know who you are??? $79 each is a good deal, where exactly you buy ah? maybe i'll drop by to see see look look also ikea rod holder means the bracket right? initially wanted to go BKK after shift in to buy all the knick knacks but now looking at the situation dun think i wanna be there liao guess have to satisfy myself with things available locally
  16. me now waiting for comex to see if the new pioneer plasma will be launched if yes then maybe my dream tv price will drop then i'll buy me also planning to shift bit by bit, shift all one day will die
  17. aiyo i hate abcess. the smell is look like that then cute mah they say my local boy looks like panda you mean each panel is 3m? cannot throw into washing machine liao dun keep us in suspense leh how much you paid and where to get this kind of lobang?
  18. did mine online. just need to submit copy of NRIC by mail my fire insurance is less than $10, just cover structural damage by fire if you want they also sell comprehensive coverage but that one can pay by credit card three months of S&CC depending on your flat type and TC the rest all can pay by CPF if you have more than enough to cover the legal / stamp / misc fees and the 10% downpayment, suggest you park some elsewhere before the appt so that you'll have some cushion if suay suay stop working
  19. hi bigbird thanks for sharing have you gotten your contractor to rectify the problem?
  20. i level up my balcony and in the process, the hole was sealed up so putting windows there so that rain won't come in then no mini pool loh as it has become a part of the living room, won't be washing it anyway !!
  21. it's how many panel? can share where to get the stainless steel rod? if not got to go ikea and buy liao hmm then the antibiotics will stress out the kidney leh if dun take can? sigh, how true is the phrase 'we are all born with a disease, and that disease is called death'
  22. nice place you've got yourself there can't wait for pix of your HOME fully furnished !!
  23. got a feeling that your sis had been saying a lot a lot of things to your mum !! untruths most likely, but the damage is done nonetheless. maybe you want to consider talking to your mum, one to one without anyone else around pour your heart out to her and let her know how much she is hurting you ask your husband to talk to her on a separate occasion, also one to one to show her what kind of person you are right now. maybe he can arrange to bring her down to your work place without your knowledge, let her choose the day and time, to observe you from afar. she might realise something !!
  24. hi all, just wanted to share something about utilities account as long as you have opened the account, that would mean you have to pay for sanitary charges and 'rubbish disposal' even though you don't stay there. usually the advice is to open only when you are going to start your renovation if not you are paying for the water and electricity that hdb uses when rectifying defects. got my keys in mar 07 and only opened my utilities account last week bo bian coz got to ask them to come down and run gas pipes, if not kitchen cabinet can't go up !!
  25. i told them upfront that i have not confirmed delivery date if they can hold at least six months then i'll buy, if not then i won't buy usually they are eager to close the deal so they'll agree to anything can hold the tv delivery or not? i only bought furnitures coz i think the price of electical appliances only go one way - that's down so i'll buy only when i've shifted in and just go out to buy hi there, my FS guy say as long as the offical shift-in date for the whole family is auspicious can liao me planning to shift my things slowly when renovation is done but seventh month is still not over
