hmm in this case, how about we meet after lunch say around 2pm at shell petrol station anchorvale this way we can see deathcoth's place without torch also any violent objections? confirmed attendees 1. mr and mrs cantona7 2. mr and mrs mace 3. mr and mrs ranval 4. mr(?) and mrs kow 5. mr and mrs compassvale 6. gendon (and mr & junior?) 7. mr and mrs deathcoth 8. applefreak me changed even before i shifted in better be safe than sorry

yes yes it was so fun meeting up all the pple we 'talked' to here in renotalk

it's opposite the sengkang NPC/clinic/community centre maybe ranval can tell you exactly where coz it's near to her place

eh not very sure leh common problems will be leakage or grime in the pipes? think got one thread about the different types of piping but can't remember where liao

but you got to factor in the thickness coz homo usually not very thick and if cut into half maybe not so nice edge? not too sure if you can 'bullnose' a homo tile maybe you want to check out quartz countertops which i did consider brands like stiles are available in singapore it's like solid surface except it's pretty scratch and heat resistant

wah :dribble: very nice place, esp the mosaic back-splash :wub: shall save money to do that in the future yah hor, i totally forget leh then how like this? or shall we order KFC/Macdonald and eat at my place? attendance list on 27 Oct 07 @ 6pm Anchorvale Shell Station 1. mr and mrs mace 2. mr and mrs compassvale 3. mr (?) and mrs kow 4. gendon 5. ran(?) val 6. deathcoth 7. mr and mrs cantona7 8. applefreak

heard of pple who dun change the pipe afterall, not all will want to stay in the flat for the rest of their lives most who dun change intend to sell their flat after 5yrs so no point spending so much money

the plumber is my contractor's you might want to check out MaCe's t-blog, think he recommended a plumber called ah seng there

i took copper leh coz copper can paint mah and less chance of leakage (not 100% confident of the workmanship ) the gas heater is an instant heater which can pipe hot water to all taps in the unit but i only pipe to bathroom showers and kitchen mixer

aiyo that sound bad, esp with the abuser lurking around me got alumesh all around my place to ensure my cats have no chance of escaping :furious:

my contractor charged me $580 to change all existing pipes to copper does not include hot water points

but my contractor quote me the same price for copper and stainless steel he said the price of copper had been going up up up recently

yes i changed my piping to copper ones not very confident of hdb's pipes

what to do? they always say the government policy is 'pro-family' :furious:

hehehe, actually i go for secondhand stuff to try and follow the movement that started in NY they basically do not buy anything new coz it consumes new resource, it's a environmental-friendly thing but some things, like my bookcase, cannot resist leh :furious: so far clothes hanger, those plastic ones, cheapest is 8pcs for $1.65 at CK chinatown also and plastic ashtray at $2.85

hi there, i level up my balcony coz my mum worried that she'll trip and fall it really depends on what you like 1. a long living room 2. a semi-outdoor area where your guest / you can smoke 3. a separate space where you can have plants or keep certain items didn't like the balcony at compassvale green anyway to me, only when the three sides are empty then can call balcony if not it's just a wall without windows think we'll meet at val's block downstairs? say around 6pm? any violent objections?

or make use of those balance transfer if really necessary UOB is the cheapest so far, 2% on principal for six months might even be cheaper than reno loan if can repay within six months

saloon shampoo and perfume yes but toiletris e.g. dettol, floor cleaners etc CK is cheaper and if got time, check out the various sprees and MOs held on various forums got my applecare (laptop warranty) at 20% off retail price and a beanbag for $43 go for second-hand things esp if you are not quite sure you'll need it e.g. i wanted to sew my own cushion covers but dun know will really do it or not so went for a second-hand small princess sewing machine at $30 only

but hor, doesn't make sense to pay for that kind of size then got to cut coz counter only 600 wide still dun know yet but dun really dare to try on my flr tiles though i've tried my countertop and relatively scratch resistant

my number one choice of getting soft drinks = sheng shiong $10.50 for a carton of coke, sometimes can get canned drinks at $8.80 per carton (24cans) toiletries - so far find that CK chinatown price is amongst the cheapest think someone mentioned Ang Mo at AMK ave 10. think i'll check it out one day

if you dun mind can incorporate a 'catwalk' from kitchen to living room bypassing the shoe cabinet e.g. raised platform or something or ask your contractor to round the corners so that even bang also not so painful

if like this then we fix on 27 Oct evening? any violent objections from anyone? maybe the itinerary can be 1. ranval's place - just starting work 2. deathcoth's place - WIP with cute baby wor 3. all other completed unit in compassvale green - compassvale, gendon, applefreak, bluberi, jaren and singhao. those joining us but whose home is not too near are 1. Ma and Ce 2. Mr and Mrs Cantona7 3. Angelwrath (?) did i miss anyone out? and think we need to settle the dinner issue shall we have dinner at compass point banquet after visiting ranval's place then proceed to compassvale green?

think not so easy to scratch granite bah and i can accept the scratches after a few years of wear and tear

yes that's what i meant think if opposite the door i.e. leaning against the HHS wall will look funny right? somemore put there, on top can use as a 'dumping ground' for keys and letters and stuff :notti:

dun know leh, find that the living area really cramp loh don't even have space for a coffee table personally i prefer the layout by your FSM, looks more open and spacious dun worry so much about money, just squeeze here and there sure can make do one lah i started off with a budget of $10k, and only enough to cover then slowly it just ballooned to the final bill now $36k but then i got a few months to squeeze from everywhere and some unexpected bonuses here and there to cover also, maybe you want to consider cutting some of the stuff that can be done at a later stage e.g. BR2 and 3 can be left empty first so the most important thing to do is 1. no more taxi
