  1. Jackwan, I've PMed you. Sliding door can have thread on the floor or on the beam
  2. Hi prody & february, I've PMed the both of you.
  3. Thank u very much Yes, now i've gotten used to it, so no longer regret the colours that I've chosen I've PMed you the contact. Cheers
  4. white glossy solid surface is super difficult to maintain. Stains very easily. Scratches are quite obvious too. I've given up keeping it in pristine white condition *sigh*
  5. They changed a new compressor for you? WOW! How nice! Now, I just need ppl with inverters to tell me that their compressors are SILENT. Sharp ppl said that all inverters have noise (accelarating audible humming noise even windows closed in the afternoon). If no noise = not inverters!! So far, our main problem is when all 3 air-con are switched on....wah... humming noise really audible & obvious.
  6. NOT RESOLVED. Compressor still noisy esp. when No.2 & No.3 air con switched on. Hubby escalated the issue to both Gain City & Sharp. Both sent their technicians to our place a couple of times. Sharp technician thought that it's not a problem & could be resolved. He did something to the bracket BUT the noise became worse - compressor became noisier even with only 1 air-con switched on! Then Sharp technicians came for the 3rd time. They took out the entire compressor & air-con bracket, added/modified somethings. STILL, no change to noise level at all!!! Finally, Sharp engineer came. DENY DENY DENY. Not a problem at all, he said. Inverters' compressors are all noise, he said. Non-inverters' compressors even noisier, he added. Funny thing is: technicians from Gain City all admitted that this new Sharp model's compressor has noise problem. BUT, everybody from Sharp denied the problem. There'll be a final meeting at our place with both ppl from Gain City & Sharp. Dunno when that'll be. Dunno what's gonna happen. Very bad customer service from Sharp. We're gonna boycott their products from now on!!
  7. Haha, u so funny Use the combat ants killer - squarish ones. Can't rem the names. Can get from NTUC. They're really effective. I stuck them EVERYWHERE (where ever i see ants trail) when I first moved into a rental unit with ants-invested kitchen. But take note of the date. Gotta change every few months or when u see ants appearing again.
  8. Wow, that's something new! Will definitely spread the message
  9. If i've to choose again, I'll choose granite or marble or anything that's anti-scratch / anti-stain
  10. not bad! Can really see your effort in beautifying your house & making it as comfy as possible. Well done!
  11. actually, a white solid surface for kitchen top is * pretty to look at * but very difficult to maintain After moving in for 2 months, and being very conscientious & meticulous in keeping the kitchen top clean & w/o stains, I still can't avoid the inevitable --> stains & scratches. Stains that can't be removed - newspaper prints, bread plastic bag prints, dirty hand prints. Dun ever use Cif cos it'll cause discoloration.
  12. We chose the whitest homo tile $4.20 from Soon Bee Huat (Changi). One major problem we didn't anticipate was the unevenness. According to the company, for tiles to be very white, the tiles can't be 'burnt' for too long (if not will turn yellow). Hence the unevenness. So we had problem with uneven floor tiles (solution was for the tiler to put these uneven tiles at the sides or bring it back to company to exchange for even ones) But I still love the colour. U can take a look at our pic at this thread: http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=34471
  13. Got the doors from Yontat www.yontat.com.sg Solid veneer door with Yale lock $260 w/o GST Hollow veneer door with Yale lock $210 w/o GST
  14. Do u live in HDB flat? Cos the technician from Gain City told us that that was the main reason why the compressor is noisy. Do u mind giving me your model number? thks
