Just want to ask ceramic and porcelain tiles are the same right?

Should be from what i know as well

From what i know ceramic tiles should be able to be polished

Should be just living room, i think from the way TS described

This skirting is all over the house or just a smal area?

I thought grinding only for non glossy right?

Ah ookay now i know what he means

Its a bad idea to grind glossy tiles, it will damage it, don't do it

He mentioned its the skirting, so it should be at the side i think

Then where is the timber part? You mean its at the side?

By glazed, you mean matt or glossy?

In my case i use something called HCL89. I usually get it from http://hcl89.byethost10.com or http://hcl89.atwebpages.com What it does is that it cleans your tiles, renews or cleans the tiles and also helps to create a protection for it so that always remains new. Hope this helps you out

By popcorn walls you mean rock stone walls?

If you are not around maybe possible actually

Too much moisture can cause tiles to be dirty much faster than usual?

Correct something like that

Especially toilet is hard to keep dry at all times, but not impossible though

No problem at all bro

I think (if i am not wrong) should be too much moisture

Looks like i have to bathe everyday then

Silicone is already water resistant so how can mould attach to it?

Haha, Thanks for that, never thought it was something so simple, lol

Too much humidity always causes problems like spots on shower screens or etc

HD = Hardware shop

It comes with full instructions on how to use it, should be quite self explanatory

I think maybe he means glossy?

What is hd? High Definition ??

I thought at hd shop got, no?

Never knew, that you mean if its too humid tiles get dirty faster?

What i mean how does a dry surface really prevent this?

Not necessary, could be due to high humidity also

You need to maintain your wall tiles or tiles from caulk so that it will always remains dirt free. In my case i use something called HCL89. I usually get it from http://hcl89.byethost10.com or http://hcl89.atwebpages.com What it does is that it cleans your wall tiles/glass and also helps to create a protection for it so that always remains new. Hope this helps you out

So far not bad, i used it on homogeous tiles and my glass shower screen as well

I noticed that too especially if you have homogeneous tiles

I thought so, was thinking something along those lines actually

Hi Catt!!! Nice to have you here Your blog indeed is one of the best in my personal rating I like the way you did up your home the way you want it! I have seen many with Erhm..... (Hope I don't offen anyone here)... Industrial team that is too commonly use that makes every house look quite the same. You did pretty well for a newbie ! Oh, talking about open net. We had contacted Starhub on this. They are not able to do a conceal but asked our electrician to provide a condude (pipes like trucking?) to run in the L-Box ... so case resolved for us at this stage as the Electrician already been informed of and know what to do before the plastering. I am really thankful to your best wishes and YES!! All will be BEST

Dear Readers, Upon request, here is my honest opinion about Vimbox Movers. To be perfectly honest, I cant really rmb the name of their team leader but I can remember that I had a really good experience with them. They were recommended to me by my renovation consultant (who did a great job btw). Upon contacting them, Vimbox movers did a good job answering all my queries about their services, their storage facilities and things that just come to mind when youre about to place your goods in a warehouse that does not belong to you. Vimbox actually assured me and brought me through the steps of what I should expect. I had a really decent experience with them, so I would say that 2 years ago, they may have had their tough times but now, they are as good as a local moving company can get. The link that "Yupitshailey" gave above is a good source to see how good they are. They apparently did the move for our local actress Michelle Chong. How could Michelle Chong choose a mover that does not live up to their reputation? Or a mover that is not decent. Vimbox Movers is definitely your trusted mover. I have actually recommended them to a few of my colleagues who in turn had a pretty decent experience with them, so really, why not? For any queries, if you think I can help, PM me and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Have a good night everybody!

Annnnd my reno is done! I don't have pictures yet coz I've been busy moving but I just wanted to chronicle this moment. My ID handed the keys back to me this afternoon. It's been a long journey - 1 Apr to 1 Sep, but it was really quite painless. Some of the delay was my fault coz I changed some parts of the design halfway but some of it was due to my id being very fussy about getting things just right. Also, I did tell him to take his time and do a good job. As I said, it was relatively painless and I have to credit my id. He really handled everything. Whenever I had any issues I just told him about it and he fixed it. I'm still moving so I'll keep this short. I'll be posting pictures very soon and I will give a fuller review of my id. But the short summary for now is - yes, I'll recommend him.

Brother Movers & Transportation 98538909 (Ben) / 94491818 (Marcus) brothermover2014@gmail.com Can call and ask for quotation first. That time I have some items from store wanna move to my house, they actually wrapped up everything first, in order not to damage my stuffs, then move. Good and reasonable price. I think it is a newly startup company and wants to build up their reputation. Can say is "ah put" intro one, maybe can get some discount.

Contractors do this to save cement and time but will cause problems in the long run

Lynnyang is obviously trying to bash ETS. This is very unprofessional, most likely a competitor. The thread about Vimbox that they copied was so long ago, and it is almost logically impossible to experience the same thing after 2 long years. Its really funny how people can be so childish. Dear readers, please do not fall for such tricks. If a thread seems like its a personal vendetta against a certain company, it most likely is. A thread like the one about Vimbox Movers 2 years ago also seems like it is a personal vendetta but oh well it was 2 years ago so who cares. Vimbox provided me with good service and I enjoyed it. So either Vimbox improved or that thread is crap.

Very good post, will help alot of people, thanks

This is issue only happened 4 years later, before was fine?

That is like an acylic like plastic skirting right?

I guess it prevents sogginess

Ask for polyurethane grout or epoxy grout, there should be mould resistant silicone sealants, please let me know your finding, coz i am looking to get that installed when i get my flat keys.

Don't really understand the question

Looking for house moving service in Singapore? Earth Transport Service is not your trusted house movers. Our happy event turned into a horrible experience. Here is an honest and genuine review about Earth Transport Services. We engaged Earth Transport Services on 11 August. There were numerous email, text messages and phone confirmation; I received the last confirmation again from them before the day of scheduled move. We were so excited about the move, by 10am on 11 August, we were all ready waiting for the Earth Transport Service (ETS) to arrive. They did not turn up as scheduled, which made me worry because I really had to move out by that day and I had to call to ask and the person who received my call seemed surprised about the hiccup. Minutes later, another person called and he claimed that he could not get in touch with the team supervisor, but promised to find out what went wrong. Laterr, I received a few pictures of a lightly damaged truck. The head light was smashed and the bumper was dent. There was no phone call from him, just the photos. We called to ask for more details. He said the truck was involved in an accident and could not come to our service. And he claimed that they had to report to police. Looking at the minor accident, I couldn’t comprehend the need to report police. As a matter of fact, police will not entertain such road accident unless someone was injured. When I pressed for the location of the accident and the handphone of the team supervisor, I was tactfully denied. That’s when I sensed something was not right. However, I thought a house mover running a business in Singapore will not deceive their customer, we requested for alternatives; he offered a later moving at 2 pm, which we accepted. By the time drew near, no call, confirmation or update from Earth Transport Service (ETS). Our constant calls seemed to irritate him. We were told to wait another 10 minutes while he looked for solution. 10 minutes passed and he sms that he would call us in 30 minutes. After which, we had not heard from Earth Transport Service (ETS) since. We felt we were left to bleed to death with 80 boxes and furniture lying around the house. By 3pm, we concluded Earth Transport Service (ETS) has decided to abandon us. We frantically called many other movers, most turned us down as it was a last minute job, even next day service was not possible. Fortunately, with a help of a friend, we found her regular mover who agreed to help us move. That was almost 5pm in the evening, the team just finished their 2 house moving jobs earlier. We were very appreciative that they agreed to work overtime for us. Furthermore, we paid only $30 more than what Earth Transport Service (ETS) quoted despite the last minute arrangement. They finished the moving job at 8.30pm. Earth Transport Service (ETS) accepted a business order from us but fail to deliver without offering remedy can only tell you something about them; Earth Transport Service (ETS) is unprofessional, irresponsible, and maybe very inexperienced in the business. Even if the road accident was ‘genuine’, it was obvious that Earth Transport Service (ETS) did not have any contingency plans in place to offer alternative solution to their client. To run a house moving business, you expect unforeseen events such as truck breakdown, road accident, staffs report sick…etc. If the road accident was ‘fake’, you’ll see clearly the business ethical values of Earth Transport Service (ETS). The truth of the matter was that, in this whole house moving saga, there were no offers of replacement, no help, no apologies from Earth Transport Service (ETS). Do you want to put your stressful house moving service in the hands of Earth Transport Service (ETS). Please think twice!
