I also thking of having a dryer , I heard from other dryer waste a lot of electricity is it so .

I so worry if clothes hang inside cant be dry and have a smell

I hate the smell . The hanger HDB given, do you all think can hang a bedsheet heehee .

The outer hanger is so near to the window , still have to worry if my on "TOP" neighbours will drop any rubbish or spit down to dirty our clothes a not

Gals I just view thought HDB wedsite and find this : -

3-year restriction period on removal of toilets wall and floor tiles provided by HDB

The toilets in your flat come with wall and floor tiles. As the toilets are designed to be wet areas, a waterproofing membrane has been laid on the cement screed before laying the floor tiles. This is to prevent water from leaking through the ceiling of the flat immediately below your flat.

Hence,flat owners are not allowed to replace the toilet floor and wall tiles provided by HDB for a period of 3 years. Flat owners may however lay new toilet floor finishes over the existing floor finishes using adhesives.

Previously, this 3-year restriction period commenced from the date of key collection. From 1 April 2005, the 3-year restriction period will commence from the completion date of the block. This relaxation will allow flat owners greater flexibility to blend in their renovation works with the interior decor of their flats.

OMG mean we cant change the toilet or tiles ??

That why considering the gas clothes dryer, cheaper to use

for the toilet and kitchen tiles, u can always overlay, which is much cheaper than replacing

Guess, i'm not that worry that my clothes can't be dry cos' mine is facing "west" sun can leave it in living room.

O yes, earlier someone from our thread already posted the restriction of removal of tiles. But, guess you can opt to overlay the tiles. But, we are not doing that so can save $$$ (low renov budget ma)

My frd<she and her hubby only > is having the same type of holders<one in the kitchen and outside the window> and she mentioned that it is not enough to hang the clothes for 2 persons.

If I wanna to re-locate the holder which is in the kitchen,where do u think I should put it.

i doubt have anymore space to re-locate the holder. I find that the metal holder is better to locate where it is as there's sunlight coming from the kitchen windows, therefore cloths will be dry faster that way.

[h4happy 1]

not to mention that there's only 3 metal grilles. unless u wash clothes everyday, it wont be enough to hang dry a week's load

Yes your are right.

And I am those who wash cloths every weekend until full load.

But the 3 metal stick (outside the window) not enough.

So, need some bomboo stick and just hang it up.

I need at least 5 bamboo post.

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.

U know there is a 2 in 1 washing machine cum dryer which cost $1000 + + + ,maybe it will solve your problem.

Hi Cindy, you already found your contractor?

Already confirmed?

usually washer-cum-dryer has quite low drying capacity like 3 kg only... if washing a 6 kg load, then have to split the load into two batches for drying.. !!

If you get your key, then you will have 4 months to source for contractors, reno works takes up about 6 to 8 weeks...hope you have time.

For me, I have already talk to few ids and even have quotations.

Just to compare around and by talking to ids...we tend to learn bit by bit.....

Break in?

Ok will read now...
