So far so good. All metal deteriorate with high temp & over time, so when it comes, just change that metal.

Frankly speaking, de Pierre is correct. Beside consealing the uneven portion, no one else on this earth can "rectify" this. Fundamentally, it is not the contractor's fault. What you can say to him is he, as experienced professional, failed to visualise this effect before construction & therefore failed to advise you according, cut $$$! Cut $$$ is small issue, the bigger issue is you has to face this uneven structure everyday! Mood sure get disrupted ! Seriously think if feasible to extend the width some more to cover the uneven part.

The is a cabinet beneath the hob, open the door, head goes in & look up, the battery compartment there. The hob is rested onto the "cutting", need not to "seal" anything. Underneath the hib, still got pipe.... Now use less this "gas hob". Expect "electric hob" will replace "gas hob" in near future. Induction cooker can cook many thing also, including instant noodle. Some more, very portable, can shift here & there, of course don't drop/break while relocating.

No issue at all. Can lift up & calean easily. Strong make me switched to this. - seem more efficient, concentrate "fire" - One thing not so "class" is to install battery for ignition, underneath.

Wow piang, quotation is always just a quoatation - unless the material/colour/size/brand/makes/country of origin/specifications, etc... are specified, there is no point asking ppl around if the quotation is "cheap" or "expensive". Suppliers are always "smarter" than end consumers. They know what to hide, what to "play around with", in a quotation. Stick to ONE ID/contractor, down to earth to details (color/size/material/brand.....) get the quotation then start ask ppls for pricing comment, this way makes more sense.

You must be referring to those diluted critic acid, some NTUC outlets, some chinese medical hall also... brown-color bottle, about $2/bottle. Better wear rubber glove while handling. Need licensing to store, to sell, to buy acid in industrial. NEA is conttrolling...

Congrat! u got a "healty" system. Mostly wives like to be financial minister, husbands = PM or MP? Wives must allow husbands to play these 2 roles to have a "healthy" system. If husband all the time MP - no dignity, all days walking facing down. If all the time PM, the golden mountain one day becomes bitter valley.

Ancient Chinese has great wisdom in developing the lunar calendar by naked-eye observation via celestial movement of Sun, earth & moon. Not to mention the Chinese constellations developed years Before Christ. FengShui has connection with this. Found not easy to explain the complicated relationship among the "stars" in word, especially in posting, anyway, I'll try, with help of pictures, as I have promised, to make it simple-to-understand. Let's start from Sun & earth, later to, earth & moon…. 1. Most has perception that when earth is closest to sun, weather is the hottest. The perception is wrong! Why? - Earth self-spins, counter-clockwise, look from north pole, cos of spinning, Earth's surface moves at the equator at a speed of over 1675 km/hr. 1spin=1day=24hr. Earth's axis tilted at 23.5 degress. -Earth takes 365.26 days to make one elliptical orbit round the sun. This elliptical orbit causes the Earth's distance from the Sun to vary over a year. Yet, this phenomenon is not responsible for the Earth's seasons! The variation in distance from the Sun causes amount of solar radiation received by Earth to annually vary by about 6%. - There are four important dates: June solstice(june 21/22), September equinox(sept 22/23), December solstice(dec 21/22), and March equinox(20/21), in this orbit. - Angle of Earth's axis in relation to the ecliptic plane/orbit on these four dates remain unchanged. But, the relative position of the Earth's axis to the Sun does change during this cycle. This circumstance is responsible for the annual changes in the height of the Sun above the HORIZON. It also causes the SEASONS by controlling the intensity and duration of sunlight received by locations on the Earth. Seasons are appropriate only for the Northern Hemisphere - During the two Equinoxes (Mar & Sept), the earth axis, tilted at 23.5 deg pointing parallel with sun. The circle of illumination cuts through the polar axis and all locations on the Earth experience 12 hours of day and night. Singapore situated in 1 deg N, residents can see twice a year during these 2 dates, sun passing overhead, exactly rise from east and set due west. - During June or summer solstice(Jun), the circle of illumination is tangent to the Arctic Circle (66.5° N) and the region above this latitude receives 24 hours of daylight. The Arctic Circle is in 24 hours of darkness during the December or winner solstice (Dec). Conclusion: Seasons are caused by the difference in solar radiation amount and duration due to the tilting of earth axis and self revovolution around its axis. Has nothing to do with the distance between sun & earth. - Earth's distance most away from sun will be on 6 July 2010 at 1100hr. (most less gravity effect from sun) - Interesting fact, start from spring, due to earth moves along the elliptical orbit, its axit starts from "parallel" with sun, to directly pointing toward sun in june solstice, thus increasing the number of daylight hours and bring warmer weather that cause plants to bring forth new growth.

Subjective question le, if buy 1 pc, hacking/remove old + make good to flooring, installation ~$100 ~$250. If buy products from same co >3k, likely, installation + makegood +removal+hacking = foc. New W/C , needs a kind of "gasket" also need $$.

Seem some blockage in the flow which delays the flow switch from cutting out immediately. May be the membrance rubber get harden, or the arm of the limit switch get bent and distance change.

What To Do If Gout Lines Keep Peeling Off?
bepgof replied to Yipee's topic in Home Maintenance & Repairs
Apply didulted acid on grout, wait for about 1/2 -1hr, use hard brush brushing off residual. Clean, dry, reapply the coating. What tile? Don't use acid on granite & marble. Ceramic & homogenous are ok. Guess the lines must be small, <3mm? Black, white, coloured cement/hard plaster? -
Partitioning The Private Condo
bepgof replied to stl67's topic in Landed & Condo Private Properties Renovation Discussion
Hi Yoongf, any regulatios as to number of residents within? -
Lene, before auditing, explain to fsm: - yr friend's situation... - yr intentions and constraints - fsm will know, to what extend, to alter the "chi" for her. - Remember, "chi" is rather dynamics and will change over time without one's notice. What I mean is, most ppl got the wrong concept that fs audit is a "one-time" operation. In fact, it needs constant "re-audit" the ambience, especially in the beginning, need more "re-audit". Tell this to fsm for building the trust. Cancer to cells' structure is partly generic and partly "external" influence. Hope the "chi" can cheer her up & reduce the rate of change. Don't spend any resources on Bazi analysis/Palm reading/face reading...etc, knowing one's future is always a "burden", not a blessing.

- From Squatting to sitting w/c, need slight hacking only, cos the "mouth" occupied almost same area. - Need concerns are : sitting type's length touch the back wall? The squatting's flushing pipe portion need cover up. "Old tiolet tiles still in "good" conditions? - The main concerned is to get a reno permit, got it approved & start the works. Owner has to, more or less, know HDB's rules. Need attention to: 1. Sanitary stacks, 2. Windows, 3. Water proofing membrance - pay attention to floor trap's circumference area(stacker as well) + (Y pipes) which always cause the leakage, slowing- in month or years, to yr neighbour downstair. My Id call in so many "sub-con" & "sub sub con", I just hold the Id responsible. Of course, it is owner's responsiblity to aware of the rules too, so no chance being smoked around.

Wow piang, a HDB-registered contractor needs pay liciense fee to HDB which in turn the cost goes to you. End up, the work will pass to non-registered "sub-con" & "sub sub con".... - His partner is a HDB-registered Co so can apply reno permit, just let his partner Co applier for the reno permit lah, then he does the job. - Got any "sanitary stackers/pipes" change? Need a PUB-licensed contractor to do so. - Ceiling plaster, "thin" layer to cover the uneven portion is ok, not to add one-inch thickness solid filling. I did 4-inch false ceiling with all the L, square, rectangular boxes, also plaster to cover the uneven portion near ceiling fan area (no boxing) - Believed your contractor is a typical "hand-on" man with straight-forward mind/style, who doesn't know how to "snake" around. I prefer this type than those who "smoke" you around.

Private lift = per household one lift. Owner needs to pay license(yearly +monthly maintenance, owner told me but I forgot the amount, handicap son). There is one such at Siglap, planted a miniture longan tree, tasted very sweet, tree originated from Thailand. There is another at Fidelio street, Siglap, far end inside #2, corner terrance with a long narrow yet long U-shaped "swimming"pool (anyway, more look like a koi pool, dare not to tell owner), weekly "water test" charge at $40+.
