Nic 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2007 (edited) Hi,for those who have done up their aircon, care to share how ur trucking will be done?Mine's a sys 4, somemore 1 wall in living room hacked... now dunno where to place aircon..Well, since my flat is a resale, I dont have any choice since the previous owner already done the trunking.However,I added a unit in my LR and placed it on the section of the wall which separates the LR and the MBR toilet. So the trunking goes thru the toilet and the aircon is mounted directly over the hole in the wall so that no trunking is needed Edited November 28, 2007 by Nic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h4happy 1 Report post Posted November 28, 2007 (edited) Why the thieves always like to frequent the new estates? I notice that Tanglin Halt got lots of burglars and this is not happening to our estates. This is really not safe for us especially when our corridoors are so dark.Oh is it?I think thieves come especially when they see the door left open, just grab something and leave.Of course if the contractors or carpenters or tilers are in the house, then should be ok.But then, if I buy air con, sink, stove..etc and leave it at the living room or bedroom, then will be risky, especially pple might come in, and take the things out.I will definately ask my id/contractors to lock the main fate or doors at all times if new items deliver to the house.Then how about those tiles, laminated or paraquet? They can also grab some and leave! Edited November 28, 2007 by h4happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
