  1. my kitchen / living wall is brick wall = can hack but beam on top = structural element = can not hack same goes to column = can not hack prefabricated wall = reinforced concrete wall = can not hack rule of tumb = any thing is reinforced concrete element (beam, wall, column) = can not hack unless PE is engaged and convince hdb removal of beam/wall/colum is still structural sound for the whole block. hope not too late to reply u
  2. understand your frustration. lemon law should have kicked in ealier to protect consumer from buying faulty product
  3. nice concealed door closer. good german brand good price too
  4. wao that is very ex. $850 is foreign worker wages for a month! but do homework 1st call town council to check call contractor to to check at least u have a figure before talking to your ID. may be the price include supply of material?
  5. 1. u need HDB permit to hack wall & floor. 2. u need breaker to hack 3. u need dispose the debris
  6. "true" ID who we pay good price for their professional service, yes. self declared ID, no contractor? no need but sadly to say that most of the ID in our house reno is not the upper hand of the industry.
  7. totally agreed. i would love to co-ordinate every trade myself but only if we have the time!! i work with a contractor company mainly build condo. i would have save lots of $$$ if i co-ordinate our reno myself. nevertheless it is simply impossible for me to take off every alternate day to co-ordinate work with diff sub-contractors.
  8. between door handle & floor. the latch is similar color to the handle, so it gives an overall 'part of door handle' visual. or can choose those hotel type 'chain' latch or flat type of latch & place slightly above/below door handle. i think it wil look least visible2
  9. yes with fair quality of material but need very close monitoring of work. no work to toilet? painting? door? window? air-con? few hundred here & there will add up a sum. lesson learned from reno.
  10. my gate & main door latch to the top but main door we put extra latch to the sides. no hole to the floor. scared of poor workmaniship (crack tile) and dun wan to clean sand n dust inside the hole
  11. if the holes on the outside panel i.e. can be seen w/o open the cabinet door can insist to change, but if holes r inside... err unlikely.
  12. May be u would like to check with those shopping center locksmitch i.e. master key? but they charge much higher than the neighbourhood key cutting stall.
  13. mine 1 fit slightly above the eyes level when lean on sofa back, but at the eyes level when sit on the sofa. good carpenter will clarify the height before fixing, can not use standard height as excuse la. just like kitchen cabinet shorter ppl would like the cabinet top to be slightly lower, taller ppl would like it to be higher a bit.
