Apply Finish Coat Nippon Aqua Bodelac 2 Coat. Paint Cost: $33.00 for 1 Litre Sealant, 1 Litre Finish Coat. Paint Accessories: $14.00 Time Spent: 6 Hours. 1st Sealant Coat wait 30 mins, 2nd Sealant Coat wait 2 hours, 1st Finish Coat 30 mins, 2nd Coat 2 hours. Pro. Save cost to hack and tile up again. Look fantastic imo. Waterproof Con: White may turn yellowish over time. (how long dunno. Still cheaper to paint it over.). Stove area may not restand heat, (use alumimum foil cover loh)

The lesser things to hack and clear, the higher haulage fee will be. For my case $450. 1. Hack Master Toliet (Floor and Wall) 2. Hack Common Toliet (Floor) 3. Hack 13 Ft wall 4. Hack kitchen floor 176 sqft 5. Hack Balconey wall tiles 60 sqft 7. Demolish Existing kitchen cabinets 8. Remove all window grills

If you have a bad rating for credit bureau, forget about getting a reno loan. Fact of life, you wouldn't lend it to someone who has a habit of defaulting payments. Don't even try to try your luck applying for credit cards. The only thing is to wait few years, then call up the bank which give you the bad rating to clear it. * I had paid all 2 years back but till today still penalise for it. Try not to walk this road. It wil bite you when in need.

I'm gettting my from S&K door.

$8000 is tio chop for those jobs. Go look around more.

Just spoken to HDB office last week regards to resale concealment of wirings "even we don't fine you, you still spend double the money to make good"

price is good liao. Wont go much lower

Made a call to the Officer in charge for my area. Concealment of cables, socket box, switch box not allowed. Either build a false wall cover or make good when time to sell. So any buyers purchasing old flats do note. If contractors say can, don't believe them. The HDB officer tells me, he gets the same queries almost daily until he one shot tells all the do and don't. lol

BUy a long neck lock and lock it the pipe.

Hi TIm, Would like a quote for Toshiba Sys 5. Thanks. Gary

Dilemma. Some said can approve, but i was wondering are they referring to new BTO flats which wall are different construction or material.

Hi All, Just brought a 5 room resale in woodlands. Since it's an old flat, the cable trays, switch and socket box are all installed external unlike new BTOs. Does HDB approve hacking on the wall to conceal wiring and socket box. If yes, Does anyone knows any contractor who does it. Thanks. (attach is a photo of what i meant).
