crazycar 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 Hi,anybody hacking away a wall, say, the wall between living rm and bed rm 3 or any of the bed rm wall?I'm replacing the wall between bedrm and living rm with a wooden bi-fold door... Hacking starts next week and I heard needs to engage PE. Any experience on how much you spend on the engagement of PE?btw, uncle lim say haulage fixed at $1k for 4 rm... cannot bargain hi,according to my id, will need PE for hacking of walls. one of his company project is in JM and HDB says need PE. So likely mine will need also. He quoted me $550 for hacking of a wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VinceDelfino 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 Hi Vince How much did you pay for the bathtub? can let me know? I need a rough estimate how much my quotations will be as I have asked for a bathtub to be add to my master bedroom toilet with mirror suspended cabinet and change the toilet door.. Not a bomb i hope.. hmm...if i remember correctly, it cost about $300. however, take note that this cost applies to those normal bath tub without water jets or jaccuzi functions. those will cost $1k-$2k+ (depending on the size).

dorcas 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 yah we are hacking one of the wall also.. but we are hacking the wall of bedroom 2 connecting to master bedroom... heard from my ID that she will have to apply to HDB first then will know if need PE inspection ...we had thought of hacking the bedroom 3 wall connecting to the living room also and replace it with a fixed glass wall... but the other side of the wall of bedroom 2 facing the bomb shelter cannot be hack cos its a beam so we gave up the idea Hi Jasch,U mentioned the other side of the wall of bedroom 2 facing the bomb shelter cannot b hack. Are you referring to the wall dividing the BR 2 and MBR? Or are you referring to the BR 3 wall facing the bombshelter? Cos i am planning to hack the wall dividing the BR 2 and MBR. And the floor plan did not show any beam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

binzz 10 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 orhh... we are looking at Top loaded washer too. btw, were you the one mentioned to me that the electric / water for top-loaded washer is higher?!Top load uses more water, but shorter time to complete one wash cycle.Front load uses less water, but take longer to complete one wash cycle.Initially, we wanted to buy front load as well, but end up, we decided on top load since we got a very good offer for the top load washer.

Cindy-Monkeybone 1 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 Hi Cindy, most likely using the same id as yours.My wife told me srearch here and there for more quotations very sian and tiring...and most of the carpentry works (from different ID) are using the same materials.What matter most is the end products. I am ok with your id materials and end finishing product.So, can say 98% confirm liao.I still have not call Gina or Tony yet for tiles selection.Might call them this week.So, how do you find their works? Too bad, tiles is different from you. So, cannot really judge.Only can wait for your cabinet and wardrobe and others....(as most likely will be more or less be the same as yours).Hi Happy,Can't really comment now as I have not see the results. Gotta get really busy this week as my HK colleague is here. Hi All,I just bought a door bell with 25 musics at $28 from IMM. Is it expensive ah ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
