    Hi. Thanks for recommendation. Checked the harware store for these gears. Seemed like I'm running into some problem here.

    To cut the story short, I'm trying to install a L bracket support to hold my curtain rail **** hall & bedroom. Just found that it's quite a challenging task right now. In the bedroom, my contractor install a L-box along the ceiling and the vertical wall distance in between is like 1.5in only. As I understand the tool must be pointed in perpendicular to the wall, right? The L-box is kind of blocking the way now.

    For the L-box in living hall, it's worse. Contractor did open up a rectangular space at the L-box around the window, but it doesn't seem to allow the power drill/driver to position itself in perpendicular to the wall. Any idea to get around this problem?

    Hi,

    Wanted to install the bracket holder for my curtain rail. Have been shopping around for power drill/screw driver set. Saw the familiar brand like black & decker etc. Can you help recommend the brand of the power tool that is good to own for DIY/ house maintenance. Few points that I would like to consider are the functionality (whether it work well on metal/wooden parts), durability, interchangability (can hold various drill/screw head), price etc. Seldom use the power tool before we own our first house. Hence, will be grateful if you could share your experience. Thank you.

    Hi all,

    We accidentally peeled off one small paint area on the wall while moving furniture around. :o If just applying a new paint a top, might still see this "50cent" paint area chipped off from the wall. Does anyone have some good idea of how to repair this? Can we use sand paper to smooth out the edge? If yes, what type of sand paper to be used? Worried that we might crack the paint further if using the wrong sand paper. The wall has been plastered recently. Please help. Thank you.

    Have exactly the same doubt. The samsung one is completely sealed off at the back while the panasonic one will have compressor exposed to the air. Salesman told me that panasonic is made in Thailand and can't compete with Samsung that is made from Korea. Still try to find out more details about it.

    I haven't moved in as well. My house's now under renovation. Very disturbing to see the water dropping 24/7 from the ceiling. HDB guy told me 2 days ago that it should be the upstair washing machine pipe that caused problem and the owner upstair should fix it. They seemed not solving the problem yet. Water's still dropping like rainfall till today.

    :curse: Should complain directly to the owner tomorrow. 8|

    They used non-standard aluminum piping. That's our concern. Other vendors told us that this is 2-3x cheaper than copper. Will cost us a bomb if we need maintenance in the future. Think this statement might be true. Only heard this vendor is using Al piping so far. Have to come back to them whenever we have problem on piping huh?

    you may wanna try johor if you have the transport and have the guts and time to explore. pretty worth it since you have so many things to buy. i got all my lights from china, ceiling fans from jb and really save a lot and the quality is superb!

    Yeah. Regreted not to get my kdk fan from JB. It costs us $430 each for 56VK series. Heard that we could get it at least 50% cheaper in JB. Singapore vendor really has lots of margin huh?

    Hi all,

    Just bought my 40yr old 3 room flat. Recently found out that the ceiling near my kitchen extension is leaking. :furious: HDB had come for inspection last week. Just wonder if there is any good solution to help fix this while waiting for HDB to investigate the upstair flat. 8|

    Does anyone know roughly the cost of fixing this problem? Now very worried as HDB told me that this will be a shared cost. :bangwall:

    Please help give some advice if you come across this problem before. Thank you very much.

    went to expo today.. was quoted $2799 by CREATION AIR for mitsubishi starmex & panasonic system 3 inverter!

    I also talked to them at Suntec yesterday. Using Aluminum piping instead of G23 Copper piping. Other vendors show me the letter from OEM that manufacturers don't warrant aircon with Al pipe installed. Al is 2-3x cheaper than copper as I was informed. Not sure if this is true or not.

    They can offer Class 0 insulation...

    Hi all,

    Was renovating our HDB flat. Our city gas meter is located inside the kitchen. Kind of blocking my kitchen cabinet and will be inconvenient for officer to come & take the readings. Kind of stupid design but no choice as it seemed to be there for years before we bought this unit last week. :dunno: Have arranged the appointment to ask City gas guys to come down and see if they can relocate the meter outside the flat. I was not there when they visited the place though. They talked to my ID instead.

    Was informed by ID today that City gas informed him that the meter can no longer be relocated outside the flat due to change of policy recently. Have anyone experienced this before? Is it true that such policy exists? Can't find any info on city gas website. Thank you so much for your feedback.
