Did you check with your ID if he has issues with digital locks? I got my digital lock a year after renovation and had a bit of a hard time find locksmiths to install it. Regular locksmiths seem to not know how to do it. p.s I got one with biometric (fingerprint) so that I don't even have to carry keycard.

Well, not really OLD old style. I am looking for those with 3 to 5 screw on bulbs type. You can toggle to have 2,3 or all 5 bulbs lights on, depending on how many times you flip the switch. Anyone seen those anymore? Went into one of the shops along balestier and he says no one stocks those anymore. The whole 'balestier' road shops only stock the 'newer' lights.

Sorry, couldn't answer you. But would like to check on how you bought your lock? Is it from Interlock or mydigtiallock, or from ebay, etc and got a locksmith to install? If it is the latter, can you pm me the locksmith contact? Thanks!

Hi sohnice, Can I check where you got your digital lock? I am interested in getting one, but the Interlock got some bad review, so no idea where else I could get it.

Furnished (bed, wardrobe, computer table) A/C: available Internet: fibre available Washing machine: available Cooking: no oil. light cooking only Renovated in Feb Nearby - 6 mins to tiong bahru mrt - hawker center (bukit merah view) - about 5 bus stops to Orchard/Vivo/Ikea No Indian/PRC. $800 per month. Call/sms 98588925 for viewing. I am not agent Agents are welcome BUT I do not give commission.

U might first want to find out if your water pressure is enough for a rain shower. p.s though I have no idea how to test that...

Actually, I tot the viewing part is the easy one. When you are free, post on property guru and declared open house for that day. Pple should come. I only have 1 personal experience to share since I only bought flat once... My buying process was simply go to property guru, search and filter to what I want, call up for a visit. If open house, I don't have any problem also.

wah... that is expensive. Also, you need to track which 'hole' leads to which 'hole'. I hope you labelled them properly.

regardless, ikea ones are notorious for sagging.

Can i ask for your lan points, each lan point is 1 cable? or only at the end, it 'splits'?

Hacking started immediately on the 5th. I am told I am his last project for the year, if not it will go into CNY and will delay until after CNY liaoz. Pic taken on 7th. this one taken on 14th. Living room plasted, kitchen wall and floor done. By 17th, the L-shape wall was also tiled up. But I forgot to take pic. ------------------------- Going later after work. Hope all the lights are done. Aircon coming in on 28th, by which everything should be done. Had to go for Panasonic as their compressor is smaller. Mitsubishi compressor too big to fit through the MBR windows ... Contractor promised to touch up the painting if need. Outstanding: COMPUTER and FIBRE internet. (very impt to me) SOFA, coffee table, TV console, 2 workstations table, 2 chairs (planning to get all these from IKEA) TV, washing machine, microwave oven (haven't decide where to get this. Courts have 10% discount if I used my friend's card but their prices starts off being more expensive...) Thinking to settle all this Wednesday (since I am clearing leave) and EVERYTHING delivery on 28th. Target move in by year end? *cross fingers*

Cont'd. Common Room Master Bedroom These I will not touch as they are in pretty good condition. Same thing for the toilets. They look pretty new, including the bi-fold doors. Things I WILL do: Hack living room floor (too old looking for my taste) Plaster living room wall for smoother look. Same thing for Kitchen wall and floor. All hack. Hack Wall dividing living rm and kitchen, replace with Glass door L-box for living rm light. Again, my concern is light in the middle may reflect off the TV. And, it looks good. L-shoe cabinet for kitchen. Only stove no hood. Minimal cooking if any. And that's about it. Contractor will also clean and repaint the whole house, include the rooms.

Here is some BEFORE photos. Living Room. You may be able to see the 'open' space thru the main door. This is kitchen You can see Tiong Bahur place from Kitchen. Nice green view from Utility room.

Having trolled for a long time, I've decide to simply copy some of the designs here... with very minor modifications only. I even copy the contractor by hiring the one which did those work. lol A bit of intro on the buying: I went for 2 days of viewing only.. saw this unit on the first day and really liked it. After viewing other units, which are even older and in a sadder state of disrepair, went back on the second day and OTP liaoz. chop chop. A somewhat unique feature of the house is that it is a WIDE corridor, almost a big square. Machiam outdoor living room. You can do buffets there and hang your clothes on regular days. Got the key on the 4th Dec. Here is the floorplace. Basically, it's the design of those 3i units in this forum where they hacked the wall between living room and kitchen, reducing the size of the kitchen. A L-shape kitchen cabinet, sliding glass door. I am single, but didn't hack the common room for a super big living room. Going to rent out the common room to subsidize the flat. The thing I DIDN'T do is the rotating TV display. While it looks good, I am concerned that there will be reflection from the window (corridor) when watching TV during the day. It will also permanent divide up the room, and have less flexibility on the use of floor space.

Well, I've got 2 friends who bought queen size, and regreted, wishing they had gone for king instead.

not too sure about CASE. Why not go straight to Small Claims Tribunal? at least I got read stories of pple who succeed in getting something (faulty handset).

You are doing false ceiling? My 3rm the ceiling is quite low liaoz, not sure about your one.

notice a recent ad on tv ... not sure if it is actually good or not. http://www.jmldirect.com/uk/laundry/dri-buddi/invt/d04db10100000001/

why don't you check the average transaction price for your area in the HDB website? That one includes the COV. So if your total is about the same, it should be reasonable. But probably can ask for less since as you mentioned it is poorly maintained.

Hi, Pls pm your email also. Would like to have a quote from you. Thanks!

Please let me know the model number for starmex inverter 3, and also if you have any non-inverter split 3 units?

moral of the story part II, is do black and white, even if it is email. Phone call equal no proof equal no action

Please do take a picture of your washing machine if you have the time. Thanks!

nothing to hide lar. it's a 3I at Bukit Merah View. Hopefully, won't spend too much on reno, so no ID. just 'copy' idea from here and there. hehehe
