Hi Happy, What kind of tiles are you using? If its also homogenous like most of us, I dun think there's a need to cut the main door and gate. Have not heard anyone doing that. Fyi, my living room tiles is flushed with that of my kitchen. I even did an extra "kerb" near the main door to prevent dust from coming into my unit. (or wealth to escape) but theres no need to cut the door or gate. I think it lies down to the skills of the tiler...

Hihi, If you are talking about storage heater, it should not work this way. Not too sure about instant heater though..But heard effect should be immediate. My current place storage heater once its "warmed up", the hot water should come in a matter of few seconds and not few minutes... imagine the wastage.. My in laws water storage heater is also similiar.

Great to hear the convenience of the whole process. I'm intending to get one too. Can you let me have her contacts? Will love to see your pics tonight. !!

Hi, Can I have the contact as well and total cost to replace the hinges? Thanks

hihi Toppie, Wow, so much cheaper ar.. Keep me updated~~ You got it from IMM?

Hi tension, Release some tension and breathe Dun wish to add salt to ur wound.. Look @ it this way,at least ur ID is still willing to rectify the defects. Or maybe u r too perfectionist? Anyway, can I go kaypoh ur unit this sat too? will be dropping by at my place to see the HDB screeding. After that will visit my same flr neighbour Liana's carpentry work~~ Have a good day everyone~~ Hi shivan, So when are u scheduled for the cement screeding? Hi Liana, I will likely be there around 11am too. Depending on the open house timing too. !! cya neighbour~~

Does it sound offending? Dun think so la.. Anyway, your neighbour opposite has already started their reno.. You can rest assured now.. I think my neighbour opposite is the only unit in our floor who has not started anything.. Hope they will start soon.. Anyway, what time is your "open house" scheduled on sat? I will be at my unit too to see the cement screeding Perhaps we can exchange contact via pm too.

I submitted more than 4 weeks I think.. Must call the contractor to chase. if not the HDB officer.. Gd Luck

Hi , Can any comment on the following setup : Mitsubishi Electric Starmex invertor MXY 3A28VA MSXY GA10VA x 1 (BR1) MSXY GD 18VA x 2 (MBR & Living) As I had combined my MBR with BR2, hence need a bigger 18VA aircon for my MBR. Using 1/2 inch Nyflex(spelling error?) insulation. Price quoted $3,250 no free gift. Expensive? Reasonable? Thanks

Thanks for all the feedback guys. As i'm only doing a basic setup in my MBR with a normal 5.1 Sharp HTS, hence the wire needed is of those basic black & red speaker wires which cost only $2 per metre. As for the brackets, saw a brand called "queenie" and quite nice looking at Best. Think cost around $28++ . As for my living room, I'm getting Bose which most forummers are bombarding.. But well, my wife likes what she hears and refused to give others a chance. I'm not much of a "audiophile" hence will give in to her but burn a hole in my pocket for that system. The wires alone cost $200++ already~~. !!

The main contractor seems quite "yaya"(conceited). His name is something like Ah Di. He says if the house is not ready to put in the sand etc or not cleared, he will then skip my unit and go to the next. I mean he didn't inform in the first place when he is going to put in the sand etc, how would I know when he is coming and then inform my ID. As such my screeding is delayed by another day.. Apparently he is much nasty to my ID who requested for early screeding. He said as long as he do it within a stipulated timeframe from the date of submission of our screeding, he is not in the wrong. If want to expedite, get our own contractor to do ourself.. !! Hearing this I'm quite fed up. He better do a good job if not I will definitely bring this up to HDB.. Talking about s'pore service standard, he is definitely one who brings it down Thanks for the advise. Actually my aircon piping is already done. So 2nd trip will be to install the aircons only. You have pm~~

Oic, thanks for the quick reply. wow, your aircon coming soon.. Hmm, meaning your painting works will be done by mon? I'm also getting an inverter..didn't really went to compare prices. Heard pretty gd reviews about Natural cool so just went ahead since my ID can coordinate with them for me. Most prob I will come on sat as hdb arranging the cement screed that day. Want to make sure they do a gd job. Perhaps you can let me know wat time you are going down to your house? Will drop by if i'm free on sun. Thanks~~

Mine is Flora. So far so good..She's very patient and gives practical and creative solutions. But I leave my rating for her till the completion of the whole project. Hope nothing big crops up. Hmm, so when did u sign up with them and when did your first work started? would like to see your house tiling works. Not very pleased with mine and wish to compare. Your aircon pipings up already?

Hi folks, Anyone can recommend where we can get speaker wires/cables of normal quality and speaker brackets which is to be mounted on ceiling? If possible, the estimated damage as well. Thanks

Hi Toppie, I think there's a few 79ers using the same ID company. There's nothing much to see at my house now other than the covered tiles and wiring works.. next week the false ceiling and cables for aircon will be up. Anyway, just wana kaypoh, which designer are you using? You already signed the dotted line?? Btw, i'm staying on the 6th storey~~ same lvl as Liana79B. Feel free to drop by~~

Mine too..haha. But I think its better than that of when we open the toilet door, first thing to see is the WC..(read from somewhere..) At least mirror can shift?? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah Liana, hope to see more friendly neighbours like us on our storey. At least we met one now. I bet your carpentries will turn out just as good as your reno works!! Feel free to drop by our unit anytime too~~ Oh, you didn't know that lady too.. At first we thought she's you or your friend.. turn out to be neither.. Maybe she's too shy to intro herself.. Could be our neighbour too~~ Anyway, cya around neigbour~~

Hi Liana, Glad to see u today.. Wow u really on the ball, monitoring the contractors with the carpentries. Hope everything turns out to ur expectations. Saw a tall lady outside ur house, at first I thought she is u..Perhaps she 's from unit 27? Their progress is as fast as yours~~doing up carpentry already~~ My ceiling works should be up this week. hope everything goes smoothly~~ Cheers

I waited for my permit for 2 weeks as well.. Got frustrated and called the HDB officer and it was approved with 2 days. Your ID should know which officer is in charge of the hacking matters. I called the HDB officer personally to expedite.. He claimed that the form was not fully completed thus caused the delay.. If it was not completed at least call and inform.. But actually the form is requesting for duplicate details... Wow Liana, your reno progress is really going fast!! Think mine currently only just hacked the wall... Hopefully more works will be up soon next week

Wow, didn't know this model is so popular among renotalk!! Was initially looking at the samsung fridge T41 or something.. But later saw tis model which my wife prefers more.. Since 403v coming soon might as well wait for it.. No rush though as i'm only moving to my new house in early June.. Any shops to recommend to get it other than Everjoin? Btw where is everjoin situated and is the new 403v model physical appearence the same as 420v? Thanks

Cool, i kinda like the 6" folderable pool table with the option of table top. can be used as normal study table for common room and also for some pool session~~ but the cost will total up to 800++. The 5ft one only cost 300+..

Welcome toppie, another to the big family. Glad to find another 79B neighbour. Search the internet for jimmy textiles. (I'm not related to jimmy textiles. Only heard gd reviews by friends) !!

I heard good reviews for Jimmy Textile too~~ Will most likely be getting my curtains from them too. Anyone who are buying from them please let the boss know that we are from TPY Blk 79. May get more discounts if many of us are getting our curtains there.

Any pics? Looking for a sofa set too~~ Please post some pics and advise where is the best place to shop for sofas~~~~~
