Nex 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2008 Duno y I feel so eager to look at ur reno.. Mayb his ID laise, faster.. this coming wk, he is arranging for the carpenters to come up n install all the carpentary works... so i suppose by that time, at least can see more "clearly" bah... cos now still quite empty... so i feel a bit hard to visaulise the end result too... as for the heater thing, actually i have a funny feeling abt it... mayb i think too mauch bah... cos the heater dosen't seems like a 5L one... looks more like a 3L one!!! so i m afraid that its bcos the 5L not here yet, then Citygas gave mi the old stock of 3L one... thinking mayb i wont notice it bah... Got to go and check on this first thing tmr morning... or mayb i really think too much... which hopefully i m lor... haha... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nex 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2008 i rather dun put if i have a choice... but my wife wants it badly yah bro... totally agree... i oso rather dont put... cos glass one, one whole piece then nice nice... bi-fold it, and it looks wierd... my reason is simple, when pple see a bi-fold door (regardless of material), the first thing i think of is, its a toilet... and our hse the entrance to the kitchen is not really that obvious... so i dont feel there is a need... unless u got air-con... but i have some friends who installed air-con for living room, but did not install any doors... end result is: it is still cooling... but not cold... and even u have an air-con in the living, u onli have one... not 2 (the other one for dining area)... so no matter wat, ur living is still cooling onli... wont go to the extend of wat u get (the temperature) in a room... and if MLR really wan to install it... then if its mi, i juz get a simple one... (the one that MLR mention is cheaper one) cos bi-fold doors will spoil some day... no life-time warranty one.... dont waste unncessary monies... (unless u got too much to spare)!!

Check receipt, 5L still works well, most of my friends are still using them, just that if u use both toilets at the same time, the water not so hot lor. Hi guys, Thx for all the info for kitchen door. We r going to hv 1 ac in living and 1 in dining, so dats y nid to put door. Cos when u cook and ac is on....the smell will be trap in it for ages, also the heat from cooking and we cook everday. Me like full glass swing door, but with a 20 mth old around, swing glass is not practical. Dats Y the bi-fold choice, but now L3x mentioned PD doors catch fingers.... Also, bcos me not using id...no 3d to help visualise, hv to try hard to visualise watever our choice will look like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the PD doors, I aso not very sure y got ppl still get their finger caught in cos their website said it wunt.. Aso read some posts where ppl praise abt it. So I tink it boils down to the end-user. I tink full glass swing door is the only solution for u if ur worried abt the grease & aircon mixing together. But its a hazard to babies, & pets.. Ur take..

Nex 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2008 ALAMAK!!! Stupid la... guys, dont envy on my gas heater le la... i kanna cheated!! it was the old stock... not the new stock of 8L one... its the old stock of 5L... argh... i still go n take down the model no. then the no. is REU 55CG... cos normally it shold have a no, tat indicates that it is 8L one wat... mayb something like 80 or 85. Than i check the sticker on the heater, it says flow rate is 2.somethingL to 5.5L... no wonder pple who have installed it says it is not hot enuff if both outlets r in use... cos judging by the flow rate reading... it can go tat high, but at that kind rate, the water didnt have the chance to get heated up b4 going to our outlets... so i think tis expain y the out-going model is not favourable... anyway, the CSO actually told mi that she will arrange a date for their technician to come down to take it down, but i suggest to her that, mayb she can get the technician to bring the 8L down then take out the 5L that is on my wall nw... if not they oso need to make double trips... and she told mi to play safe, she would say the new 8L will b coming in onli in mid-june.... see... i so considerate one... hahaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About window grilles.... Do u plan to change the windows to other design or color some years later? If u do, then don't do grilles now. Also, if u plan to hv bb soon, then u wil nid it by the time bb reach 18 mths old, cos dats the time they start to climb . But I hv got friends dat didn't install even though they have children, cos they hv discipline their children. Our boy is very active, so we decide not to take the risk. I was quoted $1100 for the bronze aluminium type for the whole house (200 square ft). It costs more if u get the powder coated aluminium or wrought iron type, also look nicer lah. Actually if u install it later, they can do it in 1 day, just dat if u hv furniture around then its inconvenient lor. Also must take into consideration dat price of aluminium and iron is on a constant rise= more $$ when installed later. Just my tots.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
