U can also slide 2 on each other to one side, one at the other leaving a centre opening of L400mm or 3 pcs standing at the centre with 2 opening on both side of each at L400mm.

I got a quote for false ceiling at $2.50 psf and $7/-pfr for L-box. Is there any contractor that offer a better price?

letterbox normally use cam lock; about 1.50, buy the one with 5 nos of key - master lock, a few bucks. Open your letterbox and see behind the lockset, u can there is hex ring screwed to hold the lockset onto the panel. U need a hex flat spanner, the thk not thicker than the ring to fasten & unfasten the ring. Alternatively, u a wide pier, wide enough to hold the ring

u can get this hanging tubing at hardware shop serving the furniture industry. 1) Kim Men at AMK pk 2 2) Fupizat At Blk 1 & B103 Yishun 3) Xin Huat at Blk 1 Yishun Woodland link, kaki bukit etc ...basically, all ind pk do have hardware shop for carpentry work u need to buy the both ends ' u' bracketrys to mount onto both side of your cabinet, measure the exact length of your cabinet minus 3 to 5mm to get the hardware to cut to size for u, remainding portion, bring home.

I think the floor trap is clogged with debris etc, Use a spoon, bend it a little and attach it to a pole long enough to reach the bottom of the u trap & scoop up whatever inside. clear the curve outlet too. (I don't what is that area call). U may need to get those flexible coil which is $3-$5/- a pc and put it right into that junction with your hand. ( to locate the junction, look-up above on the drainage piping of your upper floor. I use a thin stripe of s/s - 1mm x w25mm x length 500mm; like ruler and bend 25mm at one end forming it a little to "L' shape ( th 2 corners need cut off a bit) to clear all the floor traps regularly.

Do you guys think it's advisable to re-varnish these furniture on our own? Thought of going to Handifix store this weekend to buy the necessary stuff .. .Chair: I also thought of re-varnish my dinning chairs smiliar to your type too. Stripping & sanding the existing finishing for the whole chair is too tiring and to spend $$$ to get the sealer for those little scratches or dented part is not so practical as u need to get dye & shellace to match it. Personally, I think , just light sanding using grit 180 grey coloured sandpaper which is mend for wood. wipe the parts free from dust and oil; just dish detergent will do. Then apply lacquer. For convenience, buy those aersol lacquer which is only few bucks. If u use brush, the coating is not that even. Laid your object flat, if u spray it in a standing position, the lacquer will more or less drip. Test on the underside of your chair or table. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK, don't come after me.

special ordered paint at certain paint dealer. U ask them 药水漆 - for wood use or for metal, there is a difference come with a tin of paint; half full and a plastic barrel of hardener.( sometime 2 types additive for metal use) Check with: chye seng at Amk ave 3 choo lip at Yishun central hak chok at sin ming asia paint

Once, I replace the spring to a brand new double coils spring, guess what happen? Just as I place my 5 months old girl onto the sarong, then 'pom', my girl on the marble floor, the brand new double springs broke into 2. So, to instal ceiling mounted cradle: check ceiling use heavy duty wallplug - the thk wall black coloured type and replace its hook to stainless steel type. check spring, its hook and hanger the joining and material of the sarong Lastly, it is never good to place too young infant on sarong, too strong 'rocking' that the child 'black out' and one thing u people may not agree with me is this 'rocking' action can cause the child to have hernia.

Latex & emulsion paints are for painting of walls. Paints that avaliable on the shelf for solid wood & metal are normally turpentine base paint; i.e slow drying type. U can order quick drying paint for metal - the thinner base type at a higher price. To get better coat of finishing, u need to order paint with hardener, like pu coating. For varnishing of wooden top, u need to sand, varnish, sand again, varnish again before lacquering. Plywood & normal timber will not get a smooth painting surface unless u run a few coats of emulsion paint over it. Most knock down furniture that is not solid wood where pu paint is used is normally MDF ply. Satin finishing refers to the type of effect like the hairline; grains of the wood, i.e is to say u won't get such effect on teak wood, ramin, nyatoh etc. To varnish those existing varnished wooden main door installed by HBD, u can use the Bodelac varnishes. Sand before varnish. Re-sand & varnish is not require as this ready varnish is differ from those u buy and have to add solvent to it. shellac is clear light brown colour, for varnishing u have rosewood, walnut, black etc Lacquer is clear coating applied over the varnishing to get glossy & more durable surface. I hope my information is correct and not misleading.

I ever kenna once in my previous old flat; thk smoke get into my mouth. Then I remembered the time when I had the Instant water heater instal, the electrician said the temperature can only adjust to the max. of no. 3. This is becos IWH using 250v, u need to run a separate line as in aircon but I just use the standard pt supplied by HDB and at that time, both aircon n wh need submission to HDB.

Your dish drainer is either chrome-plated or galvanised? use a magnet to test whether is it stainless steel material.

Remember to bring along your sample pc, u need to buy exactly the same stud, i.e w/o threads some diy shop do have this but castor & wheels is cheaper

Sorry, did not come to this thread earlier. By now, I think your reno is alreally completed. Cabinet and sink top can be of the same height. for the stove, if yours is those built in hob with the steel stand that make to a total height of 39", the height of the base support should be lower but for those induction type, the one with the glass top, that is ok with 36" overall height.

It is alum flat bar - 1" x 1/4" thk or 25mm x 6mm, come in length of 16' and 20' check with Lian Huat at AMK, www.sinhonghuat.com , teckleongmetals.com at kelantan lane.... for powdercoating - JRS at defu, Yon sheng at Hougang 62817962, central Iron 64825030 at AMK....

Depending on end user's height, 36" sink top height is appropiate for a height of 1.6m person. The cooking stove side have to be at least 3" lower if u are using those built in hob leaving enough surrounding space for your wok. (My lousy contractor did not alert me not to miss the height of the steel stand for the wok/ pot )

Resurfacing of existing laminated door is not practical. U need to use thinner to remove the laminates. just bring your doors, together with the attached hinges to the contractor. If only 1 pc of door, it is cheaper to use their remaining laminate instead of buying a new pc of 4' x 8' laminate maybe check with Sie furniture at Yishun or Thung Interior at Ubi.

generally, those Japanese or Italy's quality is better than thailand make. Some hardware shop like Kim Men at AMK do have cheaper range of s/s products but not much choices.

Not only karang guni, beware of those general cleaner too. I bought new urn to replace the missing urn but this time, I replace the brass chain to stainless steel rod and fastened it to the ceiling using drop in anchor. Occasionly, I can see my urn turn to different position. It's not that easy to pull out the wall plug.

Turbo & Smeg are under www. happiness.com.sg I bought Turbo T6309 s/s burner and got it replace on the 3rd year as overflow of liquid jammed the burner. Agent charge me $100/- plus for clearing it, I got no choice but to accept their offer to trade in for 6319 s/s at $280/- with additional $30/- for the fire safety vlave, My slim hood E9000 also 'die liao' as the 'plastic propeller' drop off due to wear & tear of plastic material after 8yrs of use. The connector of the auto iginiton of my new cooker came off when I replace the battery for the first time of use. Transportation itself for the repair service is about $50/-, labour? part? Still looking for others new replacement but turbo is my only place to get at dealer's price.
