moonbell 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 For the retractable stick (inside the window), I intend to take it out and maybe see whether any wall to drill into it.But then keep looking at the floor plan, seem that no wall for me to drill!!I also thought of buying a dryer, but then, space is the problem!!!U're right ! I have been looking and drawing & drawing my kitchen cabinet to suit the holder. It's is a big headache. The contractor say needs to take it out and install another type of retractable holder from the celiling. BUT I have a low renovation budget so i cannot afford this.One contractor told me if we remove that metal thing, it can't be reuse due to the dismantling. Not sure how true is it. But if it can be reused, maybe can install above the kitchen window (I mean inside the kitchen, don't think we are allow to put it outside right.) But then, think there's built in water pipes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes that would be better.But nowadays, new flats are built in this way.yes, almost new flats do not have bamboo holes outside example TPY flats near methodist church there..

xlan 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2007 (edited) woo.. so much to catch up tonight.. day time was at war zone in office.. sigh..do u guys think that we can move the retractable hanging bars from the wall to the ceiling? meaning.. instead of pulling OUT will be pulling DOWN.. idea?? my bf suggested this.. dunno workable or not..dorcas, the models i'm eyeing are (model no in my signature):oh n me too.. thot of buying those portable/foldable laundry stand.. cos most prob my place not much sun shining in.. so will need something mobile enough to follow the little sunshine.. haha.. but i tink will be getting more sturdy ones.. ikea ones too flimpsy n can't take too much weight.. no gd leh..msbean, i tink if ur bedsheets are queen sizes shld still fit onto the rods.. but if kings.. then can't perfectly fit (can't b "flat" on the rods).. for those moldy smell u r concerned.. u can buy those 洗衣粉 specifically for indoor drying kind.. n add a small cap of dettol to ur 2nd rinse cycle n then follow by a final(3rd) rinse.. mama n me do our laundry this way n even on rainny day there r no moldy smell at all.. n i dun tink we can make any hole outside for safety reasons..n i notice for the outer hanger.. the "shelter" is quite big that it actually covers all the hanging rods outside the window.. see below pic tat i took frm the staircase..linggie, u bet it.. all my colleagues were strongly adviced me not to get washing-cum-drying machine.. cos if either function spoilt.. the whole machine stop working.. so better to buy it separately..h4happy, is it confirmed that SERS ppl hv only 4mths to move to new place? i heard frm frens (who had fren enbloc before) they had 6mths to move over leh.. so was it 4 or 6 mths? for nemofc n others who got the unit frm the balloting exercise.. dun think they hv any restrictions on the moving into the new units.. cos they do not hv to return any old house to HDB.. so in a way they are practically own time own target..

Pm me and I tell you.If post the name I dont think it is nice.My colleague told me my neighbour can actually bring this to the CASE.But then if bring the matter to the CASE, then more trouble, the contractors can even tell the workers just anyhow do, then he will have hard time liao.So, for customer, loss loss situation.
