Hi Everyone, Here is a blog for the journey of mine on finding the home for me and my dog. After viewing several units in the west, i finally decided on this high floor unit in Teban Gardens. Here is original condition

Hi, Just like to check if anyone is using Firmaflor or knows someone who has used the brand of laminate flooring ? Doesnt seem to have much information for the brand in the net, eventhough the brand is from Germany.

Hi Aron, Please quote me for my HDB 4room flat, need a system 3 inverter aircon. Only masterbedroom will be used daily for 8 hrs, the other bedroom once a week. And the last fan unit for the living room. So i need for 2 bedrooms and 1 living room only. Will required removal of existing unit. My flat has aircon ledge so no need bracket. 1) Panasonic CU3S27MKZ / CSS9MKZ 2) Mitsubishi Electric Starmex MXY3A28VA / MSYGE10VA Derek

Hi Ugene, How did your aircon installer proposed to run the pipings and drainage lines ? Bc like your unit layout my bedroom is across the living room so the drain line is a problem to run back to your toilet. I am interested to know how yours is done. Did the installer proposed to install a water pump to pull the water from the a/c in the 2 bedrooms ? Thanks..

Hi Everyone, I need to seek opinion on the installation of the aircon system for my unit which i just bought. The problem is that the Bdrm 3 is across the living from Bdrm 2 and the MBR. So I have problem figuring the best A/C system to install for my unit. I need to install A/C in Bdrm 3, Living room and the MBR. Bdrm 2 is going to be my wardrobe and study so it doesnt really need a/c. Now my headache is that if i get system 3, will the installer be able to run the tubings across the living room or its it better to get a system 2 for the MBR and the living and then a System 1 or a window unit for Bdrm 3 ? I am not sure if its advisable to go for system 3 as the drain line from the Bdrm 3 will be too far away and sooner or later its going to get choked. Someone suggested using a pump to pull condensate water to the drain, which i thgt installing another item is pretty ugly and most likely it will may run dry as the condensate is not really alot. Another option is the install a stand alone window unit for Bdrm 3. I have not started my reno yet, and i hope to get the A/C fixed before i start the reno in Jun. I really hope to hear from flat owners who have similar layout and their suggestion on how to do it. Sorry it seems that i am not allow to embed image so here is the floor plan in the link below.

Hi Kartell, Congras on your new home and love your amazing decor. I like to check if your decking contractor mention that the varnishing for the decking may fade over a period of time ? And do your decking have a clear coat or lacquer? Bc my decked varnish faded after less than a year and was wondering if its normal. My contractor tell me its normal for the fading. The fading shows patches of the bare wood on the surface. Its not really unsightly but i just wan to check if it normal for something like to happen. Mine was not done my Liang Hoe Huat but i like to know if they provided any warranty on workmanship. Some of my decking strips seem to have "cupping" effect. Its not really serious or obvious but you can slightly feel it when you walk over it on bare foot. I actually keen on using your contractor to resand my decking to level the cupping effect and repaint the whole decking again. But like to check on the workmanship for quality. Btw are you able to tell me the size of your decking and price they charge for it ? Mine decking is 4.5m X 5m, and was quoted around 4k. Thanks
