Ideasmiths 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) but maybe don expect too much if u r paying peanuts? In Singapore context paying peanuts is totally different okay. I stay near NKF aka the 'little peanut house' for the past donkey years....so I don't mind getting paid 'peanuts', heck, as long as I keep my mouth shut and not finger the other people who shared my peanuts, I get a great job earning $20K a month now....(oops, a bit political here). Regards curtain, was doing mine with the shop at bedok near to KFC and realised that the quality of the material is very important. If you get cheap curtains, lets say day curtain, the material may just break apart after 1 or 2 years due to the sun/washing. Same for night curtain. The boss there made the curtain the standard industrial height, so in future if I change won't have to incur so much extra $ to make 'custom' ones....lagi good ones can cost around $40 per meter or something... PS: to bring some life back to LG...next time you past bedok KFC, look out for this sign Edited August 20, 2008 by Ideasmiths Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ideasmiths 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2008 Estimated window length is abt 3 metres. So give and take, it shld be ard 12 metres total. Not too sure how much will whole hse cost since I only got the rods installed. Mine is 4 room, about $1668 for 4 rooms. The total cost depends on a few factors, a) obviously material $, the 'better' the material, the more $ b) but ALSO the dimensions of the raw material, for example, if you choose the $20 ones, some of the size are smaller so you need to stitch a few of them up vertically. if you choose the bigger ones (cost $), then less of them are needed. ie less wastage c) If you choose the patterns one, then MORE wastage because some patterns (lets say flowers), they have to cut and match when they stitch vertically! d) If you choose the aluminium rails, less problem. If you choose the wooden ones like my wife, then you need to sew the 'rings' with the velcro, EACH stripe and ring cost $ Most shops would be around $1.9K to $2.3K, but because the bedok one had a sale on the day curtain (around 80% off, ie around $8 per meter), so my quote was cheaper. Also sat down with auntie talk nicely, negotiated that they minus off the item d) by using any 'spare's Actually for me, i wondered why the heck we need day curtain for some rooms, most of the time we won't be using them.....sight..but scare my boy boy will expose himself to the neighbours acroos at 221B and C...no choice..

Day and night curtain for MBR and living room, night curtain for the other 2 rooms and aircon window. 1.2k seems reasonable.. guess if yr bedroom curtains changed to Roman Blinds.. will be more exp?
