asianms 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 jus sharing my knowledge ... yes, parquet takes time, cos after laying, must let it dry out. Then varnish, after which, must wait another 4 days (I think if it is wet weather, may have to wait even longer). I'm not sure about now, but last time, it was normal to have two coats of varnish applied. Compressor in the house generates a lot of warmth. I used to hang clothes over the compressor unit, and overnight, the clothes will all get dry. v shiok. I saw a unit similar to yours when I was flat-hunting in Toa Payoh; seems like HDB designed this batch of flats to have the compressor in the house. Maybe for aethetics (HDB's, not yours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoubleJ 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2008 find it too common too...any idea any website to look for tv console pics? think tv console all like that de ba, i tried looking at some books on shop/retail design cos webby oso cant find much. found a couple very chio ones from those euro fashion retail outlets and suggest using it as the console. my id say not feasible as will see a hike in fabrication cost. workmanship not garanteed good too as the common carpenter only can do so much. curves and bends are hard to do well. so usually ppl invest in wallpapering the console rather then changing the 'common' square/rectangle shape he say. find the layout he give you quite strange leh. the sofa there means you'll be sitting backfacing the entrance. dunno you belive in fengsui bo. but as owner and you cannot directly see who enter your place sitting backfacing to the entrance,not very good to the mental well-being actually. tv console put on the painting wall is better ba, you can see ppl at door but ppl cannot see you cos their angle blocked by the shoe cabinet. haha. or maybe you can link the shoe cabinet together with the console as 1 whole thing.something like the sealy or serta showroom, forgot which le.saw at IMM. very chio.
