blue_skies 3 Report post Posted September 2, 2010 Hi all, Just to share, there's this shop at Changi Road called Kai Lim. It's a one stop shop and has got almost everything you need to DIY your house reno. I was there to buy waterproofing stuff, but I also saw lots of other things (electrical trunking, wires of all sizes, saws, drills, hammers, sandpaper, pliers, bricks, piping, cement etc) Saw a lot of contractors buying stuff from there too so I guess it must be quite popular. The uncle at the shop was very helpful too. Told him what my problem was and he suggested what I could use. Oh and they've got a website too! http://www.hardwareshop.com.sg/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha, yah. I was unlucky that my place had a leak lah, so trying to DIY with the waterproofing to see if it works first. I'm sure there are lots of other hardware / building supplies shops too, guess I just haven't come across them. I'm not too sure how extensively stocked the other shops are compared to Kai Lim but don't get me wrong, I'm not "promoting" Kai Lim in any way Just wanted to share this info with all other forummers who need to source for hardware / building supplies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think i am supposed to get some grill like thingy for that hole so that smoke can be extracted out of the kitchen into the garden instead of being recirculated.
