poison1 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2009 thanks thanks. Yes we like this old apartment better after visiting a lot of the new apartments. We were contemplating between casa merah and this but eventually decided on this as psf is much cheaper. However, being an old apt means we need to cough out a lot of cash for renovation.

poison1 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2009 Just received the quotation from my contractor...... Hmm...need to have a "good" talk with him on the price. A little history. This is my 3rd renovation in 5 years. Been using the same contractor for the past 2 reno cos he has given me very good sales and after sales service. In fact, my current EA, he actually complete the whole reno in 1 month considering my EA was in original condition when we bought it. But I have to confess that I was not too particular with rates (expect reasonable but not cheap) for the past reno and this time round, I need to exercise more due diligence in parting with the money. This time round, I just asked him to quote for carpentry and wet works. For the flooring, I approached the flooring specialist (parquet and laminate) directly for better prices. More to come....

beany0811 1 Report post Posted July 27, 2009 I read in the net somewhere that the rinsing of the dishes before putting in the dishwasher is the wrong way to do. In fact you dont even need to do that as it will definitely use more water than manual washing. serious? must let my fren know tt man.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poison1 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2009 One of the challenges we have for moving, is to reuse our current furnitures... example. 1. Our dining table, the hanging parition and the jewel lights. Since our ceiling height is too high, the dining table may look cartoonishly small in the dining hall. 2. The 2nd LCD TV and ikea TV console in our current 2nd living room. 3. My 4 ikea bookshelves. http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu194/e...Bookshelves.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrspiglet 2 Report post Posted August 3, 2009 congrats! Katong is certainly a very nice place to live in... with gd food all around! With rgds, to dishwasher... i used it b4 while staying w my sis-in-law in aussie. She said gotta scrub all the residue b4 placing into the washer, the hot water can only clean the oil and germs.. but not the residue. So i tot it was a little extra rinsing and scrubbing then place into the washer. But its definitely gd for toddlers and babies... kills germs more thoroughly than conventional cleaning.

poison1 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2009 Wow..is that a 'feature wall' - orange decals or something on white/transparent wires? Looks very cool... DIY? its a partition wall made up of individual plastic pieces we bought. Yes linked together with metal hooks. We didnt want a fixed partition so tada! A movable, reconfigurable and detachable partition. A closer look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
