LinDa 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) How come so young married??SO after married for so long, any changes??read all abt married woman grouses in the 'tying the knot' and 'married life & retirement' sub-forum lor!! haha.. thanks for helping me checkguess i'll skip the carpet wall for the time beingdo it when i have the money !! can't do without skirting coz they cut the tiles until very ugly it's uneven loh, and they still can tell me say coz dun have the correct equipment the timber idea came from one of the t-blogs here but can't remember which oneand mosaic simply because i love them but can't seem to find anywhere else to have theminitially wanted to mosaic the balcony low wall, but if can incorporate it into the skirting lagi best no problem girl!!i've seen some really nice mosaic ideas but mosaic is expensive lei.. or u can follow HiroX idea, he mosiac i think like one row of his kitchen floor, quite unique and looks nice in the photo!! my hubby n i juz discovered dat after the acid wash or final washing, our kitchen tiles got a wet feeling whenever we walk on it. also got footprints. haf checked with my ID and also another ID ard my office. was told the tiles might have absorbed the acid wash/water and will take some time to dry (my ID said maybe 2 weeks to 2 months). den ask observe for awhile, juz mop will with hot water for a few times n see how.oh dear, must be very uncomfortable with the wet feeling.. now i'm worried about mine..

applefreak 1 Report post Posted May 16, 2007 if dun do acid wash, can remove the stain cause by cement anot? Other than acid wash, wat other method of washing???the cleaning up is actually called chemical washthe chemical can be acid-based (cheaper but harsh on tiles and s/s)or a cleaning agent which is acid free (more expensive but won't have side effects like acid wash)acid wash for my unit is about $100 to $200chemical wash (acid free) will cost $450that's why most ID/contractor only offer acid washi'm thinking will just get my contractor to do a general cleanupand engage the company that does chemical wash to do a thorough clean upno problem girl!!i've seen some really nice mosaic ideas but mosaic is expensive lei.. or u can follow HiroX idea, he mosiac i think like one row of his kitchen floor, quite unique and looks nice in the photo!! actually that's where the mosaic idea came from i was thinking if it looks nice this waymaybe using mosaic as skirting might turn out well toothink will check out the mosaic variety in the market first before making a decisionbtw how to create link for t-blog in signature???copy the link of your t-blog and paste it in 'signature'can be found in 'my controls' (the signature part) !!

applefreak 1 Report post Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) for me a good yard-stick is imagine when you are retired and sitting on a rocking chair, thinking back on these year.did you do things you regretted? did you not do things that you wish you'd done?guess i'm quite lucky in the sense that money has never been a problem for mei have been working since 14yrs old so i dun have times when i wish i had the money for something. or is it bcoz those things i like all cheap cheap one a good way to set targets is to see where you are and where you want to beif you KNOW that you will never achieve it, then setting this kind of target will only demoralise you and make you feel useless.for me, i just want my OWN roof over my headlet my parents go for holidays, try to give the best to my babiesand see the worldso far, i think i'm on the right track and getting the flat really makes me feel i've arrivedto me, money is only enough when you FEEL it's enoughso it's important to set a target e.g. $1 million retirement fundif you have no clear target, you will never arrive lohsorry old liao that's why very naggy what i planned is:1. Getting a house (half done)2. Do an unforgetable wedding for my wife (not yet)3. Find a gd job (no luck so far)4. Buy a dream car (no $$)5. lots of $$ to let my parent retire (same as above)btw, wedding is not marriageit's better to give your wife a unforgettable marriage can ask what is your dream car and what you have done to move towards that goal?you have heard of the phrase - 'fail to plan, plan to fail'let's all gambatte for our dreams Edited May 16, 2007 by applefreak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
