Makanology 29 Report post Posted September 15, 2013 Hi we experienced a lot of cockroaches after we received our keys. But we didn't conduct a professional fumigation. We sprayed cans of Baygon everywhere. When the renovation started, I think there was only cement, sand, tiles and no food for cockroaches so they just disappeared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makanology 29 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 Hmmm better be safe, spray loads of Baygon at all pipe openings. Check all corners, check if there are hollow tiles cos these are favourite hideouts for cockroaches. Also place all the mothballs everywhere as its smell will irritate all bugs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My house used to see cockroaches running around but recently, the cockroache seems to have disappeared... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hapigal 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2013 drop by the home and décor roadshow at marina sq. Somehow already make up my mind to do up the wallpaper and went down to MY WALL STORY to check out the price.Make up the decision to purchase on the spot. 3 roll at $420 each, installation included. Yet to select the design, but saw some design which catches my attention! Esp the recent craze - brickwall Agar 2 roll for living room and 1 roll for master bed room.Was lazy to do further research as the price fits my budget and close both eyes to sign on the dotted line. lol!And also apply for activation of utility b4 the key handover. to my horror, the sp svc technican needs to access inside the house to off the fuse in view of short circuit. Ah DohZ! Quickly call agent to see seller agent willing to let me have the key for the utility switch on. Happy, as I get to see the house 2 days earlier! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hapigal 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2013 Need some expert advise here.Took the key from owner today. And Get the SP services ppl to activate the electricity and water. Water works, but for the electricity, only 1 living hall light lights up. The rest didnt. The technician comment that due to removal of 2 bed room light (ex owner remove the lights with our consent), some how to electricity cannot flow properly. And once the light is installed in the 2 room, all other lights will light up too.Any1 has this experience? is it true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
