I bought this for $2 from neighbourhood household store. Some sell almost $10. But I believe below $3 can be easily found. Can pick up items very well.

The bottom pipe is just a go thru pipe by HDB for what reason I not sure, probably some emergency drainage, I attached a pic. So much rubbish dropped onto my aircon ledge, very frustrating. Buying a long rubbish picker can solve but troublesome to keep the picker, waste space. The top pipe u mentioned comes with HDB and I think it is because some water heater needed the discharge pipe, it just goes to the floor straight down, however I prefer it to go straight down the drainage and since i am doing a overlay of flooring, i made a copper pipe extension which hide under the tiles and goes to the drainage, my heater does have a small pipe which they just insert it inside without sealing, it is just a discharge pipe for them to drain water for cleaning the drum i think . I also realised the black mould on the silicon of the aircon piping cover cannot be remove even if I shrub very hard with anything cleaner. Need to buy silicon mold cleaner to get the black stuff off. I got it from supersteam which sell very useful cleaning stuff at affordable price. I love their Ultra33+ wash cloths, cheap at $10.70 for 10 and very absorbing. Ultra88 at $2 each for cleaning glass, I dry dry clean my shower mirror and all the watermark is gone even though the cloth is dry it is able to remove all watermark. Buy it if you getting some stuff from them. I also bought magic bright 503 from them which remove the limescale stain on my shower tiles which I have trouble cleaning. Very strong cleaner which is bad if u touch marble or granite will damage it but gets all floor stain on tiles very clean.

You are right that i design the bottom part of that cabinet to store our shoes thus the 5 tier shelving but end up didn't keep any shoes in there as got a lot of other stuff to keep so that cabinet ended up as storage space for all other stuff as that cabinet is the only space we can keep stuff. I also design the rack in the bomb shelter to be a shoes rack to keep our shoes in boxes and filled the rack with many pairs of shoes. I have a shoes rack outside my main door for common use slipper. My daily wearing shoes is kept under that cabinet u mentioned which is why i leave a space at the bottom. I also keep some slipper below my kitchen windows. My only advice to you is beware of dust, it is my biggest enemy. My place is windy and the amount of dust that comes into the house even though all my windows is shut 98% of the time. The dust goes into your aircon, your computer, your cabinet. So plan whether you are gonna keep windows opened a lot then you have to keep minimum item in your house that attract dust. Keep every surface easy for cleaning the dust in the air.

For the living room of my size i would say it is more then sufficient, actually it is too bright that i don't turn on high for long time, the light on the fan have 3 settings and medium is preferred for me.

I am guessing you are referring to noise on the expressway at night. It's very noisy. You can hear traffic noise even on morning peak hour. However my house is air tight, I closed all windows and only open to let some fresh air in if the inside air is too warm. Reason being the wind is so strong at my block and the dust level is too much for me to handle, if I open for long time, everything in my house get dusty, it gets into everywhere. So I closed all windows and used ceiling fan and bought a xiao mi air purifier. It's amazing to see how fast the air get dirty if you let outside air in from the air filter reading. The HDB windows is pretty good in blocking out noise, It block out 98 percent of noise for me and i cannot even hear anything even if heavy rain outside. The only place the outside air can leak into my house is from the gap under the main door, so I used a towel to block it and black dust formed on the towel after a week. In short, the answer to your question is, very noisy, closing windows solved it.

I used rattan chair cos I have used ikea and leather chair which after few years gets so dirty with black patches probably due to sweat and dirt and leather seat will flake off or sweaty if don't turn on aircon. With rattan its more airy on my thigh. I sit with a pillow to support my back and it's the best option i have so far. Compared to those $600 computer chair which only last 2 years before leather start flaking.... my investment last longer on rattan.

Got my chairs at Chun Mee Lee Rattan Furniture at bukit merah lane 1. U google will see.

It's been quite some time since I last updated. I have to change the aircon drain pipe design, it was bad by default. Couldn't clean the area behind the pipe where it touches the floor, black bacterial start building and climbing around the pvc cover, you can see those black bacterial lines on the left and right of the pvc cover. Paid $90 to modify this. Lesson learned is not to allow the pipe to go all the way down to your shower floor. I also custom made 2 new rattan chair. The dark brown version was retail version which I feel a white one would make my living room brighter and nicer. Also another reason to custom make so that I can make it lower so i can push the chair under my sitoca table. Unfortunately the maker still make it too high which I think is too trousblesome for him to shave of 1.5cm off the 4 leg base. So I accept it. Do you feel white is better? Another reason to custom is this binding rattan which cut my trousers, so I had him replace with mini nails. So now I have 4 rattan chair in my mini house. 2 lives in the bombshelter stacked up. Do you mind if your opposite neighbour throw their rubbish out at night and only clear it 9am when they go to work? I was quite mindful about ants and cockroach will come.....as long as no food material I think is ok, still I feel one should take the effort just throw it down the chute immediately. I have my first light bulb spoil after 4 years. I have a total of 13 Philips hue bulb, one finally failed, it still can work, just not able to show white light, so it become pink light by default when i turn it on. I have all Gen 1 bulb, will replace it with Gen 3 as long as they start failing. Philips hue bulb was suppose to last a long time, well I will see how long the other 12 bulb can last. I wonder how often you guys need to change your led bulb after you moved in? Does anyone have your led light fail within 5 years?

PMed. He don't have a catalog. I believe as long as you are buying a common model he should have no problem getting. You can try browsing malaysia website for their ceiling fan. My KDK just passed 2 years and so far so good with high usage.

I didn't go with storage platform as i need a ceiling fan, don't want to wake up and stand up and got my head chop off by the fan blade. And all the extra cost for storage platform bed is too much for me to absorb, and i am guessing i will not be able to use the HERF tiles from evorich. Ryanyth made a beautiful storage platform which you can steal idea from. I just chunk them close to the wall which line up along my ikea wardrobe. No regret paying extra to make my slanting bedhead which makes it comfortable to sit around it too. Still pretty big open space you can open up in a smaller 2 room flat by lifting up the mattress.

Nope. It was done by the carpentry work team. I did those 2 pillars just for 1 reason, to conceal the electrical wiring to the 2 pendant lights, I do not want any exposed wire trucking. Same goes to the 2 big pillar on the ceiling in my living room, to conceal lighting wire. The wire goes under the platform and up from those 2 pillars. Did platform bed so that i could free up space when i remove those mattress its big open space.

Awesome idea to hang clothes to dry there isn't it. but I wanted to be able to close the curtain even if the clothes is still hanging there so i have to ceiling mount the rod. And until now I hardly keep my windows open as too much dust comes in when I open. Can feel a layer of dust on the floor in very short time. Lately I notice renotalk like very quiet and not much new tblog, is there a new forum out there u can tell me of?

Clothes Dryer I did some upgrading to improve my hanger to dry my laundry. Been always wanted to remove this floor standing dryer as it takes up floor space, very troublesome whenever I want to mop the floor and put my mobile bed there. So the only way to go is wall mount and ceiling mount. So i bought these 2 racks. About total $150. Then another $60 for installation. Thus removing the floor standing dryer into the bomb shelter and free up floor space. Comes with 2 level of elevation. But I doubt I will ever use the half way elevation, that is probably useful if i mounted this rack high high. Of these 2 i will probably keep the left side one up 100% of the time. Got the same installer to installed these 2 ceiling hook. Which I then buy a hanging rod and some string to make this hanger to hang my shirt to dry. When no shirt is there I will put our towel there. It was unsighting but it was hanging on the floor standing rack before I moved it airborne. That's a little sacrifice to free up floor space. So now this is the final result after removing the floor standing dryer. A more comfortable floor area to move things around. A lot easier to clean and mop my floor while moving the chair around. And clothes drying capacity increased. Together with my hanging bar in the kitchen for long clothing and 3 suction hook at the kitchen window, I guess I have plenty of drying space for me to use.

I hope you also check out the usual place they displayed this, this was the promotion corner they put this for this offer, but they have stock over at the regular place where they permanently display these when this offer is over. I saw the regular spot they didn't put all these discount price but stock is there, i picked a few from regular spot then when I saw the promo price, I picked even more.

Jurong East Mall. aka Jem. Offer end 29 Aug.

After reminded by mmoh that some of my cheapo suction hook also will drop, I decided to change all to the "will never drop" version. Checked lazada price and planned what I need to get. Went NTUC and saw the price nearly 50% cheaper then lazada. So I decided to buy more and replace what ever I can. Specifically the 3 hook in kitchen to dry my laundry which sometime drop due to wet clothing weight. Saw this from NTUC. This store special price. Offer until End Aug 2018. Single hook was 8.70 from lazada, 6.90 from NTUC normal price. Now offer 3.77. Soap dish from 9.90 become 5.41 These are the 3 hooks which I hang wet heavy clothing as near windows, good sunlight. I hope I no need to do maintenance to them anymore. Replaced these soap dish too cos they are on offer. My old double hook in the background to hold my glass wiper cos need to wipe off water on shower screen after every shower, over 2 years haven't drop. That's why I trust Garbath. Also bought a 2 cup holder and a mirror in the shower area. Never think I would put a mirror right in the shower cubicle. Power of Garbath promotion. Not full range of Garbath items can be found at NTUC so there is one item i couldn't get. What a pity.

I managed to squeeze it under my bomb shelter rack. does take up floor space but not much for me as i have rack as shoe rack at ankle level. it will be hard to get your same tile for replacement if you happened to damage it. I did chipped and replaced a tile during renovation. heavy equipment dropped and chipped the tiles. So i think if possible just keep it.

I have 2 garbath. one is hairdryer holder and another single hook for some toilet brush. Fixed for over 2 yrs never drop even once yet. My Kitchen hook in the pic never once dropped. My bath towel dropped once every 4 months probably due to wet towel weight. Overall not a bad experience, now that you mentioned, I gonna change those simple single hook to a garbath one and no need to worry it will ever drop. Just that garbath single hook very bulky, but it stick on forever.

Depending on your layout, for mine I would say I can fit 2 x 48 into my living room if i want to. 56 can do too if you ignore the minimum distance to wall thingy. Ceiling fan need clearance from wall so putting too near might not be a good idea. If you are thinking to put one over your dining table then probably I would go for a 48 or 56 on sofa and 36 on dining table.

I bought the suction hook from NTUC at that time. don't know if they still carry it. however many brand have this. https://iprice.sg/lec/kitchen-dining/ https://www.qoo10.sg/s/STRONG-SUCTION-HOOK?keyword=strong+suction+hook I used suction cup bath towel hanger too so I don't have to drill to damage the wall. My rack is U shape, so the left and right is 4 pole rack, then they join the middle by 4 bolt and screw underneath it. Hardly move. Rack is powder coated and mega thin but strong. I dropped by Blum showroom yesterday and saw this worktop and sink blend in together with nice workmanship. Sharing my new find. When my stainless steel sink spoil, gonna change to this as they can just build the sink into my current cut out, so i not need worry where to find the same size sink. I just love how clean the tabletop blend into the sink, my current one got silicon which I hate, it looks ugly.

My First Tao Bao Purchase - Ceiling Fan After moving in about 3 years, I finally proceed to install a toilet ceiling fan which I have been planning for a long time. Why I want to install a ceiling fan, I sweat easily and prefer to do business with comfort and I feel the fan will move the air in the toilet to make the air fresher and dry faster after each shower. The problem I face taking so long to proceed is there is no small ceiling fan locally, smallest is 36" which is too big for my toilet, it can actually fit in but might not have enough room to draw air and fan blade will wobble. I have no experience in taobao purchase. The ceiling fan must have lighting option as it is in the center of the toilet and I have to remove my existing lighting. So one day I took the time to find the model which i can use and read up on taobao handler in singapore who can help me to do the purchase. And I confirmed my order for 2 pieces of 26" ceiling fan with remote control function. I used sgshop to handle the purchase and sea shipment. 2 weeks later I received the fan. Then I arranged with the malaysian guy again to help me install this fan into my existing toilet. The lighting box in the middle of the toilet have to remove to make way for the fan. I have 2 led tube bulb in the false ceiling which is not very bright. Removing the main lighting is a difficult decision. When malaysian guy arrived, we discussed and can actually move the main lighthing to the side. So this is after installation. I also asked him to install a E27 holder into the false ceiling cos I thought I will lose my main lighting. Installed right above my toilet bowl. Another close up of the E27 holder (which cost me $2.50). There is no securing the holder, it just hang in there by the wire which is fine for me. So i have been using this ceiling fan for almost 2 weeks now, and i totally love it. No wobbling issue in a small confine area. And wind is pretty strong. It helps to dry up the toilet a lot faster. It does smell better now. When showering with the fan on, you will feel a little cold, like getting out of swimming pool and a strong wind blow at you. I also have hair dryer in the toilet so now with the ceiling fan, I don't feel so hot when drying my hair with hair dryer, works good when leave the toilet door open. It comes with default warm led bulb which i intend to go sim lim tower to get it change to day light led. I also learned I cannot use the draw string and remote control together. Can only choose 1, becos have to install the remote receiver in the fan which will take over the control. Meaning everytime you turn on the fan it is at default max speed and light on. Which i don't like, If don't install the remote and use the draw string, it will be at the last remembered setting. So if I keep fan speed 2 and light off. Everytime i on the main switch outside toilet door, it will be at speed 2 no light. So basically now I just turn on to use as ceiling fan only and all lighting is turned on using another switch. I have to mention here my toilet comes default with 2 gang 2 way switch from kitchen and master bedroom So i linked the 2 led tube bulb, main lighting and the new e27 holder onto the other switch. My toilet now have too many lights. As for the cost, I bought 2 fan for $240.90 with remote, if i know I will buy non remote model and save about $20. Sea shipment and GST and delivery to my house $105.15. It will work out to $173 per ceiling fan cost. Then I paid $40 for malaysian guy to install the fan, move the main lighting to the side, installed a e27 holder, he also patched the hole on ceiling becos I have to reposition it a little. Total cost per fan with installation. $213. The other fan I bought was installed by him at my mum house. For those who sweat a lot or want to dry your toilet faster can consider. Next thing on my list to do is to get the new Dyson V10 once my V8 spoil. These thing are awesome and I use it everyday. Zapping away all the hair on the floor.

Item 1. Could be a small wall erected to complete the sliding door mechanism to close properly to ensure no gap. Item 2. It could be a square port hole windows. Item 3. Concealed water pipe with a covered opening to access in case of emergency. See my pic. I installed wall cabinet over the access, so i pray nothing happened at my unit. Yr kitchen should have this too. .
