droplets 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2008 That's what we thought so too. The PE even gave the endorsement as per the picture, but HDB says cannot just hack a portion, must remove the whole wall and rebuild it again. That's why I suspect it was a case of HDB applying different standardsMine gotta hack the whole wall and rebuild partial.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alister 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2008 thanks, I have smsed him.. now waiting for his reply.Is he uncle type or young man?any hidden costs when he moved your house?He's late 40s or early 50s. No hidden cost. He didn't even come for site survey when I told him the number of items. If too many, he will arrange with u to take look.He did drop by S_Pear hse to survey when she engaged him.

Pooh_75 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2008 As a guide from SP services, 25L is good for 4 to 6 members in the family.Yes I have a slope outside my flat. My contractor told me there is no prob but no harm asking ur contractor to submit to HDB for approval.For newspaper, look out for promotion from SPH. Previous benefit I have come across eg 3 mths free for 2 yrs subscription. Free BBQ/steamboat hotplate etc.Call up to enquire - Circulation Hotline : 6388 3838Hi All,Heard from my friend that there was a case of cars being broken into at our multi-storey carpark today.Understand that the windows of the affected cars had their windows smashed.Guess those of us who own cars have to be extra vigilant and help keep a look out for suspicious characters lurking around the estate.

rachel79 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2008 Using the alumix (sounds something like tat) pole system type. My id advised we take tat instead of the wardrobe kind as it will free up more storage space. Think that shld be good enuff la.there is a more expensive brand in the market, illumix or something, but it is more more expensive. This illumix is on display at a shop beside the hk cafe on level 3, and a nice set cost more than $3k! Hi chocofudge,Have you compare Alumix with Stolmen Pole system from IKEA?Thinking of DIY with IKEA Stolmen system.The cost of the main post cost around $55 each and the shelves will cost around $20 to $30.I think it should be cheaper than Alumix. Any advice or comments on the IKEA system? Rachel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rachel Hi rachel79,were discussing tat with hubby, but concluded tat the ikea one might not be able to take the weight.so decided to pay a little more for the alumix one. afterall, new house, dun want the risks of things falling apart. of cos, the hassle of having to DIY. Dont think got time admist the furnishing / electronics hunting... too many precious weekends spent on walking... kekeke... That's what we thought so too. The PE even gave the endorsement as per the picture, but HDB says cannot just hack a portion, must remove the whole wall and rebuild it again. That's why I suspect it was a case of HDB applying different standardshmmm... worrying... im at XX-39 too intention is to hack the exact same wall... all the way to the edge og the BR2 door. will do a f/u with my id in a week's time...

gadgetman 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 Hi GAD...thanks for your pic...is your cabinet in really in line with the pillar, that's why your id make a 'kerb' to join to the other cabinet? Sorry to ask stupid question... OK, I have checked the cabinets already, both are not exactly in line! The long side is a bit protruding whereas the short side is recessed, but I guess this is deliberate. In any case the "kerb" will be necessary if you like a continuos cabinet that "runs" from one side to another. Without the curb, there will be an unsightly break between the cabinets showing the original white tiles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h4happy 1 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 Hi GADWell, at least your ID is creative enough to make a curb so that there is a running flow line towards the other countertop!It really depends on individual ID, like yours, you are very lucky. For others, they might have have think of that: Unsightly break flow.HAPPYOK, I have checked the cabinets already, both are not exactly in line!
