  1. i bought my downlights and ceiling lights from an online guy in spore. he came down to my place and demo the lights with no obligation and pressure to buy anything. downlights was around $20 for 12W with 2 yrs warranty. it also comes with safety mark for singapore my living room downlights were those dimmable / 3 colors type. $30 each for 12W. however this did not come with safety mark as the guy told me that he doesn't sell enough of these to justify the cost of sending them for testing. 2 years warranty also. Gave me a free remote control. ceiling lights dimmable square shaped LED cost around $90. overall i am very satisfied with his service and product and hence am posting this to help spread good lobang (it is xmas day after all) if anyone is keen, msg me and i will provide his contact. i am not having any personal gains here. i just wanted to support local businesses and he was very nice + he bang his car into my condo wall when he was leaving my house and had to pay to fix it. so i guess by selling me the lights he made a loss. anyway - am a satisfied customer. the only thing i don't like was his company name. LOL. very lame company name and i almost didn't buy from him coz of the name.
  2. want to change but havent found anyone who can do it...the contractor who promised to do it never... -_- and now not answering my calls
  3. if my ceiling has water mark and starts to like flake off...is there any company I can ask to get this fixed? The condo management (the unit upstairs is owned by management) has came and looked and have been dragging for 2 mths now I don't know who else to approach. sighz...thinking of going to complain directly to management head office

  5. Hi Guys, I'm moving in next week and like to do a thorough cleaning before moving in...anyone has a cleaning agency to reco? What's the going rate like?
  6. hello - can someone intro a marble polisher? need to polish living/dining area. thanks...
  7. Joemit, can you share his number as well? I'm in a similar situation as the thread starter. I got a painter (Mr Peh) to do for me. He painted 1 coat and ran away with my money. I tried my best to track him down but can't wait anymore. I need to move next week. Anyone who can help intro marble polishing will be much appreciated too! thanks.
  8. eerrr...what box thing? I thought the switch IS the box thing?
  9. issue is I need rivet gun etc to nail it in, I don't have such tools. Think might be easier if i get someone to do....
  10. so just place them around the house...close the windows/doors for 2 days and that's it? Don't need to burn etc right?
  11. Hi there, the place i bought is around 8 yrs old. A couple of the window latch/lock is spoilt. When I push the lock/latch down, nothing comes down ie the lock has probably broken off. I'm trying to see if anyone know where I can find people who fix this kinda of things? And any idea how much? thanks!
  12. Hi there - quick qns, my house currently is MK switches (ie those normal ones) I want to change to Legrand but was told that the size of the switch socket won't fit. Is this true? I thought the size should be universal and fit?
  13. blackcar...u mean she can change the motor bearing (?) and not change the whole fan? That should be cheaper right? my current ventilation fan on my ceiling is a brand called Xpelair (Prod #: 89956AW)...the place is 8yrs old and I suspect it's the original fan. I tried googling for it in spore but can't find any place that sells it. =X
  14. look like you doing drinks store business leh... think most guys wont like... but yah...fisher and paykel have...i've seen before
  15. Hi Bro, Where can I buy this Kam Boon Hiong? What exactly is it? Will I piss off my neighbours if I use it?
  16. question - i just got a condo and my common toilet has a ventilation fan on the (false) ceiling. However it's spoilt. (when I switch it on, the sound is like an industrial vaccum cleaner man) where can I get a ventilation fan for ceiling ah? and who do I need to install for me? electrician?window contracotr?
  17. hi - can someone PM me their numbers too! thanks!
  18. Try painting it? that's what i intend to do
  19. Hibell - is your electrician contact a mr tan guy? I'm trying to look for electrician contact. Doing minor reno myself, initially went to Jason but didn't seem cheap (actually is I too poor after paying downpayment for house:P ) so now just finding the individual contractors and liasing myself.
  20. found a carpenter already. Now trying to find the window and electrician still. any lobang?
  21. Not very big leh...I went through contractor too. But is like a main contractor...think too expensive...i search around abit more. BTW - wet vs. dry polishing which one better ah? I suppose is dry but its more expensive? Is it significant noticeable difference?
  22. this one is remote one ah? how does it compare to the ezziliving range? I asked and was quoted around 1k for the ezziliving range the only bad thing is that I don't need a light as I have a light there already. Anyone used the pulley system before? easy to use/will spoil easily?
  23. cat - i've stayed at http://www.citylimits.com.au/ Small nice cosy place with relatively friendly service. It's nothing flashy but the location is good, quiet cause it's on a small street, but within walking distance to everything + there is the free tram just 1min walk away from the apartment. If you are looking for a nice flashy place to celebrate 2nd wedding anniversary I wouldn't recommend it. If you just want a convenient, nice place with no frills at decent price, go for this one. PS: I book my acco a wotif.com. They got pretty decent deals on hotels in aussie. Good luck. Msg me if you need more help abt melb.
  24. Hi Guys, Initially I wanted to do a fair bit of stuff but after getting quotes from contractors, I decided abit out of budget and decided to scale back on the reno. In the end, I was thinking of only doing the following: 1) Build a wooden platform at balcony area 2) Build a window to seal up the yard area 3) Build a (retractable) clothes hanger 4) Change some light switches (ie now I switch on 2 lights with 1 switch, I want to switch on just 1 light) and am thinking it will be cheaper if I source for electrician/carpenter. I am thinking 1-3 can be done by carpenter and 4 by electrician. Anyone has any recommendation please?
