The same thing happened to my window at punggol emerald, there was no frames without dents and scratches, the more the BSC repairs, the worse it looks till a HDB join survey is done 3mth after I submitted my list of defects and the BSC's head supervisor promised to supervise and teach the workers on how to do a good spray job. Currently BSC just hand over back, the rectification looks respectable, it is not perfect but acceptable. The worse things is that one of the representative from HDB tries his best to sugar coat the situation really makes my blood boil, till I convinced them that they can do better. If I am HDB I will make the BSC replace all my window even if it was built in during casting, a foul up job is a foul up job. The hdb management must have heard of 6 sigma but surely did not make sure that quality happens consistently. To the manpower minister, there are many lost opportunities for efficiency in the hdb. In Japan most properly someone would have committed suppuku, but in Singapore it is just a foul up in a strings of foul up.If the price was like in the 70/80s I would have accepted it, but if I need to pay 30 years for a 99 leasehold apartment that won't likely to return the estate sinking fund after 99years, my expectations are very high but after the exhausting follow up with BSC and hdb, I can say that I am humbled by the finger pointing by everyone else. Also funny thing that hdb don't dare to communicate via email in my situation which really differs from their usual modus operandi.

You are lucky, my rectification work on my flat is really bad especially on the windows, scratch and dents are poorly painted over so much so that I rather live with the scratch and dents, next round I am going to ask hdb direct for their advice.

How much is the drop from the ceiling, also this fan comes with wall control or remote?

Can you quote me on amasco fresh 2, 48" ceiling fan with light kit, Samsung or LG 8kg front load washing machine or similar, Sharp Refrigerator SJ-WS355T, Panasonic Refrigerator NR-BR344MS or similar, affordable Dishwasher, Rheem 25l, or Joven 25l storage heater.

Some dehumidifier has a drain hole if you can connect it to a drain, so you don't need to constantly empty the bucket.

I don't think Straaten a subsidary of La Germania, thou i just bought a 60cm straaten branded standing cooker and hood,they seem to be selling quite a number of cooker a month. Hope it last

Hi Acklane, any reasons why you choose to use instant heater instead of storage heater or gas heater since the hot water point is provided in new HDB flats?

Most properly your ballast is having problem, a bro here with the nick Pelect has converted his from PLC to E27

How is your Internet service from my republic?

Congratulations to you, my apartment is in blk 226b, hopefully I will get the keys next month

Your worries are unfound, most LED run on 12VDC, even those cheapo AC/DC convertor can run LED light, you just need know the polarity and handy with wire stripper and scewdriver.

Home shelter is good for protection against shrapnel, small arms, once in a million year super typhoon Useless for household fire, gas leaks, large arms, nerve agent, nuclear fallout, etc. Not really sure about protection against earthquakes For those that is going to fix up shelving in the HS, SCDF/HDB allows you to do as per below, if you have young one at home, better to anchor the shelving onto the wall then to risk it. "Fixing of removable screws with non-metallic inserts not exceeding 50mm deep for fixtures and equipment e.g. pictures, posters, cabinets or shelves etc. Such fixtures that are installed inside the HS will have to be removed by the owners within 48 hours upon notification. There is no restriction to the diameter of the non-metallic insert as long as it does not exceed 50mm in length. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that the strength of the insert is adequately provided for the intended purpose." I would not be this angry if the HS can at least protect against household fire by having fireproof ventilation hole which can be shut off when there is household fire and i can train my young one how to use it. sorry for the rambling, sort of lost it when the delay is due to HS

If it is meant for hanging, don't remove the hanger before puting it into the boxes.

Household Shelter is a useless piece of design, cannot hack, cannot drill, cannot anything, I suspect the inclusion of Household Shelter in new apartment is a way to tell Singaporean that the government can anytime s***w you by regulation regardless of use and practicalbilty.
