If my guess is right, there should be a sticker pasted on the back of the aircon unit.

Hi, inuya.. This idea is relatively new to me. Never had this idea. The closest idea i had to this was having the feature wall aligned with the shelter's wall (meaning u shift ur feature wall to the left of ur picture). That will still allow light to shine direct into the living room. From the drawing, the natural light from the windows will be blocked and ur platform area and dining area will be rather dim. If you're sticking to this idea, maybe you can consider having several vertical wooden blocks to replace the entirely solid feature wall so that light can pass thru to the dining area. yah, initially i quite like this idea because it retains the original way of watching tv (straight) but on 2nd thoughts, my wife and I decided that instead of changing the weird design of the living room with carpentry work (and hence use up precious space), we could try to make the best out of it hence no boxes to 'straighten' the living room.

hi, The first ID I went to also suggested to build a feature wall to 'straighten' the living room (for the TV) but instead of having only 1 thick feature wall (which I assumed ur id suggested, that covered 2 of the 3 panels), he suggested 2 thinner feature walls and that affects 1/3 of the windows. Either way, I feel it's a loss of space so I decided to do away with the feature walls. Some IDs suggested making a feature wall next to the bomb shelter so that the TV faces the direction where the rooms are located (ur back faces the rooms). Alternatively, u can place the TV at the wall outside BR3 but will get distracted when pple walk from room to living room. I'll be placing my tv at the slanted wall. My sofa will also be slanted. I just found out from a mag that it's not appropriate to sit directly below L-box as fengshui advised that it 'suppresses' the person sitting below it. I don't have any 3d pics to share because I did not ask for them from the ID. Don want them to think that I'm there to 'kop' their ideas. hope that helps

once my reno completes (take back keys), I'll ask them deliver liao. can't wait to play with it!

thanks!

Hi bro, sorry missed ur post. Kong Tai at Jurong quoted me that price. Anyway, I found another shop selling it at $1850 w/o freebies. $2029 with HD tuner. Have placed deposit liao HN's offer at $1850 is really very good because their prices are always higher due to overheads. BTW, how's ur TV coming along? Any tips on settings to enhance the viewing pleasure? My main concern is watching it with SD programmes since most of the channels are still on SD. Does the CNA crawler look smooth?

thank you bro. glad to hear that.

bro, did they lay canvas sheet on the ground to protect the flooring during the installation?

shd be able to. in the online defects report, there's an option to choose "building" or something like that

hi bro, I've also ordered this model. Yours is made in japan, the current batches (including mine) no more from japan liao. BTW, did urs come with the snazio hd tuner? would like to know how good is it.

ok thanks bro. Cos' I forgot to ask if i'm eligible for the service voucher too. Worse, forgot to ask what's the warranty like. Is it 5 year for compressor, 1 year for parts? Not sure if workmanship has warranty.

Hi bro, do they give service vouchers for the Fujitsu inverter models?

Hi, I found one that quoted $1850 without freebies. Top up abit can get HD tuner. I saw from the panny webby that the model only has 1 hdmi input. The hitachi has 2 hdmi inputs. I also read that the hitachi though is HD ready, is at 1024 * 1080 resolution. More than the standard HD ready panels at 1366 * 768 but lesser than a full HD at 1920 * 1080. Most likely I'm getting the Hitachi.

hi wiredchaos, u mean the promo is for the panasonic model right? How much were u quoted? The hitachi one i was quoted $2099 but I've read in another thread that the lowest quoted for the Hitachi was $1850. And it seems like prices are going up?

Hello pple! Anyone bought the Hitachi Plasma P42A01A? Currently there's free HTs or HD tuner right?

thanks!

what time does Hong Tar close? I was there at 2040 and it was already closed. Ended up checking prices of TVs

Hi, may I know where to get it at $1850? I was quoted $2099.

queenstown... no leh i dunno. Do u mean queensway, opp Ikea, near the garage?

I believe with too many submissions, they got confused too. Since there's some discrepency, what u can do to help "de-confuse them" is to resubmit 1 final report online. This time round, state every single defect and label them 1), 2), 3).... At the top before u describe ur problem, do mention that this is the finalised and most updated defects list that supercedes all previous reports. At the same time, tell them exactly how long you've waited and why bsc didn't call when they were supposed to and tell them you tried calling but cannot reach them. Finish the report liao, tell them to call u back for clarification. Yah I agree my TO had been very helpful. He didn't try to siam when he knew I stuck in ICT and can't do joint inspection with him. Or maybe I sounded fierce..... Can u ask ur hubby to liase with them instead?

Wah means tonight more cash flow out. shucks. have u sourced ard for the best deals for appliance? Kang Tai (i think i got the name right) opposite Hong Tar aircon has got quite good prices. Max Credit (next to Hong Tar) is so-so but i realised Kang Tai still cheaper. Fridge washer can wait. those that need installation one can start to order liao. Since ur reno starting next week, i assume ur kitchen will also start? once base is laid, u can agaration tell the sink, hob and hood to come about 1 week later liao.

yah **** busy at work and moreover last 2 weeks In-camp, couldn't do anything like buy stuffs or pay deposit except making phone calls (to complain to hdb haha). Then over the weekend i went to buy/pay deposit for hob hood heater sink paint. My reno (kitchen) started last week but had paused as I was hesitating if I should use LPG or Citygas (need to liase with Hob dealer, Citygas, my kitchen cabinet contractor). Yesterday I finally made up my mind so by this weekend, the kitchen works should continue. later i will find some time to read the entire thread. If i'm not wrong, maybe u posted the info on all the aircons 12 + 9 + 9 with 1/2 thermalflex? Cos I rem the prices! haha. BTW, what is warranty for the fujitsu? And did u make full payment or only deposit? I wanted to get the mitsu for its energy efficiency. If the fujitsu is as good, then i may choose that instead. Then our aircon become bro liao lol, tok cork abit.

Oh officer in charge is not the hdb officer? Alamak I'm so confused. Anyway, I just directed my problems to the number reflected on the defects report. When I could not reach the officer on the telephone, I resubmitted my defects list and filled the form macam talking to him (since that's the only channel to reach him) and asked him to call me back. 2 weeks and nothing done? I think u have to push them more. I remembered after they had rectified the defects in my flat, they did not call me at all. It was a Friday when I went to check. There were still some pending defects in my opinion. The following Fri, I went up again and nothing was done so I got really angry and tried to contact the hdb officer. Couldn't reach them so I submitted the defects online again. Then I bo bians, must go in-camp so cannot do anything. Monday, I submitted a defects list in camp. Tuesday I received a call and was told that he'll take a look at my flat on Thur. Friday, I received a call from bsc saying that my defects have been rectified. Sat, I go see. True enough, all the points I stated in the defects report were fixed except the replacement of window and door (pending stock arrival). BTW, they also touched up my main door. When I went to collect my keys, I told the sleepy lady that I want to have my door changed. She just mumbled something to Ah Xiang and said ok. Duno if she really meant it anot. Anyway, this slpy lady is not very old leh. U can go down take a look ok i gota get back to work liapz. Anything else u can share here

Hi Henry, yah I rem tinyeyes' but cannot rem the reno status. How's ur flat coming along? I'm eyeing the Starmex Easyclean inverter models and from one of the posts in this thread, it costs about $2.9k. How much is your fujitsu? I rem a few months back when I went down window-shop for aircons, the fujitsu model was too new to have any display set. Extra charges for credit cards/nets? kaoz, thanks for the heads up. Can we pay a deposit first or full payment?

Ranger!
