Congras on your purchase. Your flat looks spacious.

What happens if the buyer's lawyers run away with the money?

Your flat has a neat design. Will be following your thread. Cheers!

I can't advice. You have to check with the experts on risk and return of the investment.

Welcome to Renotalk and congras to your new home purchase. I am also renovating my place and will be installing squating type of toilet. I think it is cleaner and easier to maintain. Hope your reno is smooth. Cheers!

You can try to invest in property REIT if there isn't enough capital and also provides a better spread of risk compared to buying a single property. Cheers!

Congras to your new home. Hope to see your self designed reno. Cheers!

With good space planning and smaller size furniture, I think your place will still look very good. Cheers!

Get an agent to assist you. Check last and last two Saturdays papers, there are people selling their units. Cheers!

Congras. This is a very central location.

Is there digital lock for iron gate that can withstand outdoor weather?

I saw my neighbour trapping bats and killing them for fun. So far, nothing bad happened to him. He is still as cocky as before. In order to prevent him from killing one of the bats he caught, I paid $5.00 to buy it from him and set it free in the night. Nearly got bitten by the bat in trying to release it. Nothing good or bad happened to me.

There is always an element of risk in playing sports but you all very naughty in your replies to threadstarter who is a newbie.

Agree with the forumers. My FS Master shared with me that FS requires not only skill, but also wisdom and good merits. If a person habours negative thoughts (ie a lot of greed), his wisdom to see from a higher vantage point will be diminished and he will not have the merits to positively influence good outcomes for the owners. Hence, in general FS Master who are very commerically minded are not very effective FS Master. It is quite different from being a doctor where the person can be commercially minded and is also an expert at the same time. FS Master needs to earn a living but cannot be too greedy, otherwise he ceases to be effective. I feel that there is some truth in this but somehow I find that people tend to go for those FS Master that charges them very high fees. If the FS Master doesn't charge high fees, they think that the FS Master is lousy. Seems like a vicious cycle.

wow.. congras. Very nice sofa set and good price. I think some cleaning would make the set look very good.

Switch on air conditioner and use the fan. This would cool the house substantially. In addition, you might want to use double glazed window and SKK paint to reduce and reflect the heat. If yours is a landed house, you can install sun shade and problem would be mostly solved. I think what is more important is to buy a house you like and within your budget. The rest of the issues like sun heat can be mitigated to some extend. Cheers!

Thanks for your help.

Welcome CurryQueen. Hope to learn more from your T/Blog reno experience.

You can try Kelvin. He is an engineer by training and is able to help you with the design. His contact number is 98758882

Can't be completely sure if your quote is competitive and comprehensive to include all major items. If all cost are inclusive, for $410K to do a reconstruction of GFA 2200 sqft, I think it is fairly reasonable.

Hi, you are welcome. I like the painting. When you plan to repaint your wall, use the SKK paint. See the website: www.skk.com There should not be anymore hairline cracks. Cheers!

Congras on your new home. I am very impressed with the design that you do on your own. I tried google sketch and I ended up very lost. Very happy to see that you have been so successful in designing and renovating your house. If you start a class on google sketch, I believe there will be people who will queue up to register. Cheers!

You can try the seafood opposite Serangoon Sports Complex. I think it is call crab palace. I noticed that a lot of people go there for the chilli and pepper crab. Another nearby place is at 180 Yio Chu Kang Road. I think it is called Seafood Place (next to Java Maids) but parking is a problem, unless you use vallet parking service there. There is also Toa Payoh Lor 8, near the market where the zhi char stall serve quite good crab. If you want crab specialist there, opposite the market there is restaurant selling crab. You can't miss it when you are at the Lor 8 Toa Payoh market. I don't have the exact address. Hope this helps.

From your description, I feel that you have been rude to your MIL. If you are apologetic, get your wife to say some good words for you and then meet her personally to apologize. At the same time, tell her frankly that you understand her good intent (ie this is what you wrote) and share with her your weakness (ie you are an impatient man). This cause you to lose control of your temper and said all those offensive and rude stuff (ie what you described as your volcano eruption). If you like your MIL, spend more time to understand her and what she wish for. Bepgof has some good suggestions such as taking her out for holiday, show her genuine care, etc.. Things will improve. If you dislike your MIL, it may be better to keep the distance after you have apologized to her. Having closer proximity is a receipe for more disagreements and conflicts. At the end, it all depends on your personality. Do you feel that making peace with MIL, being more tolerant about her and having joy seeking to understand your MIL's needs and concerns are more important or living life as you feel like it is more important? Hope I have not been offensive in my views. Cheers!
