binzz 10 Report post Posted December 14, 2007 Hi ppl,Going to start my trunking on christmas eve..heehee... How should the trunking be run?? any1 care to share? Best is top or bottom?Elaine, like nemofc mentioned, u gotta go around and see which trunking lines u prefer.. But the most common running of trunking is through the toliet...Exactly what I mean lor. I'd rather they don't do up the toilets or give us the taps or whatever. Better I go and do it myself than ......sigh. Also, the kitchen walls are white on the upper half and beige on the lower half leh...sigh, why don't they just do one color. You know when you put on your kitchen counter tops, you'd still see one beige tile sticking out from the counter tops.....sigh. You want to make your house/kitchen look nice, got to spend money one, leh. If they just make everything one color, it won't affect the selling price what. Whatever tile color they choose, they still cost the same what. Aiyah, can't help it already. Got to live with it or spend more money.HANDS UP AGREE! But what to do, HDB prefer to put 2 colours.. haiz.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simpleboi 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2007 the shorter the aircon trunking, the better.. u using sys 3 or 4? sys 3 shud b easy, BR 2 n 3 on opp wall, so trunking run from BR 2 across to MBR. I run my trunking thru MBR toilet (the shortest route), the only problem, as the aircon man says, is that running pipe thru toilet means theres problem of "留汗".. ur aircon will sweat bcoz of the temp differences in the toilet (which tends to be higher), thus condensation takes place... but he assure me these will not affect the aircon, just that some ppl find the vapours on piping ugly... as for the MBR, bcoz im using starmax sys 4 (size/height constraint), if i run the pipe on top, i'll have to cut my aircon window frame, i chose not to, so run the pipe downwards, along the aircon window (hmm.. sorry if i confuse u, in short, its not on top).btw, i changed from Mitsubishi Heavy Ind to Mitsubishi Elec starmax bcoz the compressor cannot pass thru the window... just take note... if u hvnt buy aircon, i suggest u measure ur aircon window before buying. I did show them my floorplan that time, still, problem happens.. just take note! Hey, I intend to get a System 4 aircon, hopefully that is.. wondering whether starmax is good or not.. it seems to be a little bit big? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kriegs 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2007 Hi,Someone mentioned here about installing rain shower and planning to use citygas heater (i rem theres another person other than me...) anyway, i've called Citygas to check, the free gas heater is 5L which cannot support rain shower.If u want to use rain shower + gas heater, u have to upgrade to the 10L heater, which cost > $300, moreover the installation cost is higher (this is wat the officer @ citygas told me).. anyhow, just beware and do check up with citygas again when u are planning to install rain shower + gas heater I guess that person is me lor might be going down to Citigas to check this out, perhaps know in more detail on the cost+installation, size of the heater and so on...

But on other hand, every cents count! That time HDB was cement screeding the common area of my old house, 1 day finish everything.The actual cement-ing and drying should be quite fast, maybe 1-2 day (also depend on weather, if rain everyday, drying take longer... ).Hi everyone,I will be at my place this coming sat in t he late morning.
