Hi yolo Can I find out how much the bunker lights in the living room cost? The ones with the silver cage. And where they are bought from? Thanks much.

My gate and window grills were customised and done by andrew from tay boon tat too. I must say that he did a really good job. It is not easy reproducing the retro type of grills and gate and he managed to do so based on a picture i gave him. Thumbs up for the young chap!

Last year I went down to royal fanco after reading all the good comments on renotalk. I bought a brown round glass basin. Was charged slightly more than $100. there was no stock in the shop so i paid a small deposit. Immediately after that, I saw the same exact sink a few stores down the road - poh joo- going for $70. I was shocked! So i cooked up some excuse.. I told royal fanco my id bot the basin for me already so they refunded the deposit. And I bot the basin from poh joo instead. I dun uderstand why rf has so many positive feedback when they overcharged me by so much. SO my advice is - do ur own research.. chekc the prices from a few stores. dun rely solely on renotalk. But generally, prices are lower in jalan besar then balastier. Good luck!

I find it strange that you would pay him 17k upfront. Usually the money is paid in stages, upon completion of certain portion of the works. This will be stated in the contract.

why dun u change the door and gate locks?

i see isee.. thanks a lot.

Hi Leslyn I like ur toilet bowl! what brand is this? and is it expensive?

i dun get it. Isn't BTO flats meant for families and not singles? if thats the case, why is the income ceiling 3k n not 8k?

use 'combat' ant control. Effective! Basically the ants are tricked into bringing the poison back to their nests. The poison will wipe out the queen n all the rest of the ants. Works like a charm for me.

That's not correct. A PE is only hired to endorse works that have not been approved by HDB. For eg, if an application to hack a particular wall has been rejected by HDB, you can hire a PE to see if the hacking of that wall affects the block's structure and apply for HDB'spproval again if it does not.

Mine was done by Doris from JealdoCurtains. Very professional andknowledgable. She quoted me @245 for roman blinds with dimmer.

Thanks for the tip!

Hey I hope this helps cos it worked for me before. If you can locate the holes in the furniture where these pests come from, use a syringe n needle ( from pharmacy) to inject insecticide (i sprayed baygon into a plastic cup)into the holes. After the area dries up, fill the holes with wood putty (from hardware shop).

oh dear now I am seriously worried. I can already see scratches on the frames, some as long as 10cm. Is that proof enough for me to reject the frames?

Thanks for the tip

I think ur 22ft is total for top and bottom cabinets. U measure the top ones, if add up to 7 ft, then it is prob correct.

This is my quote. I hope it helps for comparison. To design & fabricate built-in top & bottom kitchen cabinet in total length of 33ft(L) in HPL laminate finishing C/W ABS trimming, 1 chest of drawers with anti-slam sliding track, all anti-slam hinges for all swinging cabinet doors,all aluminium swinging door with glass panels $3,465.00 To supply & install 21ft(L) solid surface kitchen worktop $1,470.00

Hey I took a second look at ur quote. Is there going to be a kitchen work top? I dun see it in the quote. Pls also get him to include how much are the tiles psf so u know what type of tiles u can pick. for eg @$3 psf

2) install 3 sets of pedestal wc bowl (labour only) $240 3) install 3 sets of wash basins and taps (labour only) $180 4) Install 3 instant water heaters (labour only) $180 5) install kitchen sink & connect inlet & outlet (labour only) $120 I could be wrong but I think it is rare to charge for the above items. Mine came free. Maybe u try asking him to take do it FOC.

what material is the cabinet?

Hi everyone I am having so much problems with my window contractor. On top of sub-standard and sloppy work, the material he used is also of questionable quality. He promised powder-coated window frames for the sliding windows in the kitchen, but the material don't look like powder-coated to me. there are long scratches on some parts and I have not even moved in yet! Does anyone know how to tell powder-coated material from non powder-coated ones? Pls help! Many thanks Mookie

i bot my downlights balestier for $22 each.

If u r talking abt HDB flat, water pipes cannot be concealed under the tiles as HDB will not allow it. I guess u will not want to have to dig up ur tiles should the pipes leak one day. What I did was to run the pipes under the ktichen top of my island.

no prob. I found them! At unlimited.
