hi babymaro2003,

No extra $ to go for super good material. Average will do. Brought this house already so ex..... Even furnitures have to buy bit by bit.

ms white, jacky777 & all neighbours,

happy 2008...thks for your explanation (esp ms white & jacky), really can c the picture le..really glad dat i'm in this forum and lucky to hv such nice neighbours to share info. btw, i apologised for being a 'sotong' earlier...i hv mistaken the town council's "tax invoice cum receipt" as solely "tax invoice" which actually it is a receipt stating that my haulage/debris collection is being paid leow. i only discovered my "sotong~ness" when i go toa payoh town council to pay the fees...hehe...Hence, i olso mistaken my ID (*****) for not absorbing this cost as stated in their quotation. anyway the morale of my sotong story is..hehe..to open our eyes BIG BIG when we received the town council's tax invoice cum receipt. sorry all...but do check wif your ID/contractors for this debris collection item if it's included in your package , tink can be quite misleading...

Hey doremi,

glad ur 'tax invoice' thingy is solved.

Hi Doremi

Hi, 79 neighbours. I meet up with one of the ID few days ago, they claim that if the tiles is uneven, is not their fault, It's suppose to be like that! Then i blur for a while. I read from the forum before, that the ID can redo for us?

Hi Coco_mybibi

Congrats ! Happy new year to u too. U can have up to 2 aircon compressors. Is urs 4 or 5room ? For 4 roomers, there is only 1 isolator, so need to ask for additional point if u getting 2 compressors. For 5 roomers, HDB already installed 2 isolators.

The compressors can be stacked on top of each other.

hey alister,

mine is 5 room. erm, what is isolator huh? Dangerous to stack or not? I intend to get inverter aircon but think I need 2 compressor cos all rooms will have no air con if the only compressor breaks down.

Hi coco_mybibi,

I think the earliest date might be after Chinese new Year, because there will be an audit on blk A at the end of January.

Hi Redwyrm,

thanks for the info End Jan will be the last audit isit? Sigh, wait till the neck long long liao. Heard that it will be better to get the items for the home during xmas or cny sales cos the prices are more attractive than the gss sales.

Hi Coco_mybibi, is your ID Jesper??

hi droplets,

my id is jolson. you engaged them too? really got to say my id is good cos he helps us to save some money and also give alot of good and practical advices to us.

Hi coco_mybibi,

which floor are you staying? I'm staying at the upper floors did you sneak in to take a look before they locked up the staircases? Our aircon ledge is really small compared to the other blocks that I have seen.

Hi shivan,

I stay at lower floors. Ya, I sneak in to see my unit and found that the ledge is small.

Ahh..s ? you mean our 79A aircon ledge is smaller? I know 79E is the mirror image of 79A. Is it the same size as the E folks

I'm not sure about 79E but I find the ledge for A is small. Think not big enough for 2 compressors.

Hey TPY,

79A & 79E r mirror image but not exactly e same.

79E - all 4-roomers. 4 units 90sqm, 4 units 75sqm.

79A - mixture of 5 & 4 roomers. 1 unit 100sqm, 2 units 90 sqm, 5 units 75 sqm.

After comparin blk A & E, i olso found A e aircon ledge is smaller, esp e 5-rm.

Shortlisted but chose Renozone..

Hey droplets,

wats e status of ur reno?

[Liana79B 0]

Hi Neighbours

Need ur feedback/advise/opinion on the following:

1. Planning for kitchen and tot of doing tinted glass backing for the wall in between the counter top and top cabinet. I do heavy cooking and a friend advise that its difficult to maintain. So is glass backing better or stainless steel mirror finish better?

2. The solid surface for kitchen counter top comes in many brands so should i get CORIAN brand or other brands will do....

3. A friend mentioned that to do a solid surface for kitchen top it is advisable to do the kitchen structure (internal) in cemented hollow block structure/ concrete structure to prevent it from collapsing as the solid is heavy and I do heavy cooking so to prevent it from corrode.

4. I would like to place the hood higher than the standard or usual height and then purchase a good hood with high suction power. Is it advisable?

5. Any recommendations on the brands for Hob and Hood?

Would really appreciate your assistance...Thanks!!
