How big can your wind mill be? Is it big enough as wind-powered electrical generator? If not, don't fret over this item in your home!

May It needs special wiring so you have to inform your electrician before he starts rewiring the house. I remember reading your blog that you bring down one wall & make your bedroom bigger right? The remote device really cones handy for your big MBR. Just let your electrician knows you want remote control switch for the lights in your MBR.

Woah still play Sissor-paper-stone? What a lovely couple! I remember I used to kick the other half down the bed if he was reluctant to switch off the lights. Most of us have the light switch installed near to the entrance & have to walk a 'big round the bed' to switch the lights off. My MBR has night curtains & room is very dark at night when lights is off. So, it is a must have device for me.

Laundry Hangers/dryers Recommendation
Just to share my experience here. I installed this Tame laundry system from a Company called Shop 8 Renovation located at kaki Bukit. Due to space constraint, I installed it just above the washer and it remains in this drop-down position all the time in our service balcony. If course, it can retract to the ceiling which looks neater. But as it about 1.8m H from ground, it does not hit our head when we walk past. I will push it out when the clothes need some sunlight.

After the PE inspection, our electrician modified and installed the remote control switch for the lights in MBR: This is the remote control device for the lights: This picture shows how the lights are controlled by the device: Now, I can place the remote control device beside my bed and switch the lights at the touch of my fingers!

Finally passed the Electrical PE inspection yesterday! First thing when the PE inspector arrived, he checked & confirmed the serial number of the meter. Together with our electrician, he surveyed & checked around few electrical points in the house. Some forms which I snapped while they were busy inspecting.....

BB your understanding is correct. The palaces usually read in conjunction are Body, Career, Wealth & Property, the opposite & clipping palaces to analyse whether person is doing well,wealthy or not.

How I wish our bio- clock slow down the ageing process! But, hey, age is only numbers, won't affect our living at all! Whether we look younger or older than our age, beautiful or ugly, rich or poor, this does not really matter. Important thing is that we must be healthy & be contented with our lot. .... We stay happy & cheerful as our lives are in our own hands!

not sure if it works for ants...ants haven't built their home at my place yet. Maybe no sweets for them & our house is still very very new & I clean daily. But I have one effective method of getting rid of ants! The method is very simple: use your table cloth, place a few drops of detergent & wet the cloth. Do not rinse out thoroughly! Just leave the 'soapy soapy' on the cloth & wipe the area where ants appear. You will eventually notice ants no longer appearing on that 'washed' spot.

Talking about ZWDS, I met my ZWDS classmate last Monday and was shocked at the prediction which comes true. During our ZWDS class, we asked alot of questions when our master walked round the class. When he stopped at this classmate' desk, our master warned her to beware of gynae problem as her House palace has Yin Sha, in addition to Ling Xing, Huo Xing & Qing Yang negative stars are located in her Health palace of last year plate with Hua Ji. Master advised her to go for medical check up. Panic, she took master's advice seriously & went for scanning. Most people would probably wait till symptoms surface then go for check up, right? What shocked her during her scan was the discovery of a big cyst in her womb!! She arranged for appointment for op & just days before the op, then she felt acute pain in her womb. So, for ZWDS, we have to be mindful of the yearly Si Hua. As for my own chart, I was told that I have Lu Chun Hua Lu with another wealth star in one of the palace of last year's chart, which means I have the $$ but I'm also 'troubled' over having extra $$$... Guess what? I was at that time contemplating whether I should spent a bomb in my house renovation. P.s. In the end, I decided to part with huge sum of $$$ on my Extreme Makeover @ Pandan Gardens!!

Hello, my friend Hope you are doing well with you reno planning. Unlike my hardworking ID, it is true that most ID or contractors may take ages to return for rectifications. So, for my ID, I have only one word to describe his performance: EXCELLENT!

Continued from above: I have agreed to settle the final payment for the renovation. As my ID has been very hardworking, I just want to help him close his book as he was frequently queried by his accounts staff why my reno takes him so long to close out. Further, as mentioned in above, both the Project Manager & my ID have been great in following up with every request or any concerns I raised to them. Therefore, I have no reasons to hold back the balance payment any longer. Anyway, the VO items are less than half of original quotation as I took out some items which are not required.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industry Aircon
it is shown in my signature...$3770... It is worth the money I paid as they provide me excellent service & a piece of mind! I do not have to worry like GC which they stashed newspapers inside the hidden trunking of my old Aircon. Can find more information on my t-blog here: http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?s=...st&p=602209

Just finished my lesson & on way home. While waiting for bus at JE interchange, using my iPhone to update today's meeting with my ID. Last week, I texted my ID asking when he is coming to close out the project, as I have balance payment for the VO items as well as few punchlist items. ID told me he was on 2 days MC, and his Project Manager was in KL. ID told me his Manager will return on Tuesday, that was yesterday. Yesterday, ID messsged me to confirm our meeting at 1pm today. Together with my ID, they took down the items which they need to follow up, and I am fully trusting them. They are from a well established ID firm & they will live up to deliver their words to customers. Furthermore, I have good faith in my ID; he is reliable & very responsive person. In the evening, I got a missed call from an unknown number. Then, I got a missed call frm my son. When I returned my son's call, he asked if I sent 2 guys to repair the sink water pipe. I then realized that the plumber had came to attend to the minor leak at the sink basin of MBR toilet! As ID had also asked the tiler to touch up the groutings on Friday, I have to ask ID to postpone it as I am having housewarming for my colleagues on that evening. The Manager is also arranging the plasterer to return to do touch up to a wall which he spotted today! I'm happy that the manager came to my place & check the works himself. I really surprised by their initiatives to provide quality service to customers. Upto now, I remained as a satisfied customers of ClassicIdeas
