beluga 1 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 Not pretty anymore. Spend so much do nice gate, then when look down, see one orbit arcylic panel.But too late already maa since they have bought the gate. Anyway now, to minimize dirt still can do a little kerb higher than the door.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
May_dream1 14 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 You should consider a gate with bottom panel. This will prevent dust from outside coming in your house, cats (especially) from coming in your house, and also prevent water spillage when bangalah wash the corridors.maybe there are no cats around then no need to worry lah.... dust will come in when you have your main door open anyway..... the other thing i always ask when i go viewing is whether any pets around the floor, and upstairs and downstairs. if got pets, then i won't put it as good unit too. hahahaha....

Will even go near the car when I drive off. Everytime got to drive slowly when I drive away. Maybe the owner must have trained the cats to deter cars from speeding?

ayazumi 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 I experienced cats coming in my parents' house when we stayed 3rd storey. One of the cat slept on my parents' bed, beside my mum. She felt something warm beside her, she woke up with shock, saw the cat beside her. Then we have the arcylic panel tied to the front gate to prevent cats from coming in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Centipedes, rats, insects were commonly found in kampong houses.now that you mentioned it, i think i haven't seen a cat in my block for this whole year i stay there. sorry to say this, but i really don't like cats. when i see them, i will chase them away.... can't stand them... I don't like cats too. I scared they scratch me or rub my legs. When I see cats in coffee shops, I will raise up my leg or run away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He even dare to promise that if i cannot move in by 29th, all paid for hotel stay will be bored by him! That is why i am very thankful to him. heheheeh....but that doesn't mean that i didn't stress him. I keep on telling him, "by 29th i need to move in.... by 29th i need to move in... by 29th i need to move in"." almost everytime i talk to him, i will tell him the same thing. When i did managed to do it, i paid extra ang pow for him! knowing my tight deadline, i choose everything as early as i can.. and if something doesn't work out (ie suddenly the floor tiles i choose was uneven), i can make decision to choose another immediately. So, for reno to be smooth, must coordinate well with your contractor loh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When they ask question, must give precise and quick decision so that they can execute without any hesitation. My case now, the kitchen's cabinet is a headache as there are 2 deep beams in the kitchen, difficult to make flushed cabinet. Been talking to the carpenter via phone and email on the perspective drawings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
