For those who wanna get aircon, Mr Ang from TwinCity is not bad. Good service. His site supervisor Mr Ong also very good. Detail and patient. Giving alot of info. and willing to negotiate. Also truthful in promoting his items. If you wanna his contact, PM me ba. (ps: I dont earn any conmission) haha

o one more thing. I just called Citygas.

They said use gas definitely better except cannot 2 person bath in diff toilet at the same time! haha. so if you do cooking and one person bathing OK can. cos the gas to cook and to heat the water is diff. the gas for the water is only 5litre, hence one person no problem even if its half an hour for Dino! LOL but not enough capacity for two toilet. just have to space out your bathing time la. haha. if not, cold water can be quite healthy too la. haha

Electic ones bill can be quite high so if don wanna spend then settle for Citygas ba.

Let me reply/guess some of your doubts from my pt of view (learn frm forum/website) if i m not wrong. Correct me if i m wrong as i m first timer as some of us here. Appreciated.

tension z :

whether ID or contractors, they use the same type/kind of people for the job. Just like traditional coffee shop & the air-con coffee shop. They make the same coffee but what's the price difference for a cup of coffee?

BKL 79 :

Thanks for getting to know each other. Can setup a Neighbourhood Watch liao!

Who's on watch this weekend???

Zanie98 :

I don't think it's a big issue regarding the shower head, just leave it to the one who's doing it.

If you manage to find a rain shower head abt $50 - 100, pls let me know. I wan to get one as well.

Not those fix type where you have to replace the whole thing - just the head. Thks.

Ikoice :

Next gathering, is with a banner at the HDB - "Where's my KEYS!". Just joking.

josephine :

Heater - 5litre not enough for 2 person at the same time. Maybe 15L and abv. whether electric/gas type.

Hav to giv and tak lah.

My questn if anyone hav the answer or similar idea :

Wats the damage for hecking 2 walls between the 3 bedrms and divide into two?

It came to my mind after seeing words between ms_white & gadgetman.

Yr input will be very much appreciated before i m abt to be committed. Thks.

Sorry if i m 2straight forward.

Hi Gadgetman,

I don't have the answer to the above, but getting a quote from your ID should be quite straight forward. But the trick is, they must be knowledgeable to factor in all the costs, rather than quote you a good price and then later telling you sorry cannot do, must add this and that, blah, blah, blah.

Make sure your quote contains all the following:

1. PE fees of $500 (my sore point as always)

2. Demolishing of walls (to include those walls that probably has to go as well even though you target is only the two partitioning wall, these may include the adjoining walls with door frames)

3. Rebuilding the wall plus all the areas previosly destroyed items

Therefore the cost will dependson the PE's recommendation and the final decision of the HDB structural Engineer. Just a thought, there are already some units that have hacked off the wall. I think #13-39 has done that. It could be very useful if you can find out from the owner the cost. You may like to PM Josephine...

Hi Josephine,

just to share, I don't think electric storage heaters will have a huge impact on your electric bills. Right now, I have a 30L ariston electric storage heater at home. I turn it on for 15 mins in the morning and after that off it. I can take a bath and my wife takes a bath. Later on at night when we return from work. We can take our baths again without turning on the heater and the water is still hot! That means we only incur the cost for the 15 mins when the heater was on. That's the beauty of storage heaters.

But of course, you will have to remember to turn it off after 15-20 mins.

Hey, I know the people in #13-39. They are my wife's colleague. I will ask my wife to ask them. I remembered they told me they paid $500 for PE charges.
