buying off the shelve will be a lot cheaper.

donate half of your income to hospices/charity hospitals.

look for those duplicating car remote. they can do it also.

EM actually. erm...actually last year when we did our reno, electrical quotation alone range from $2k - $4.5k+ maybe they($4.5k) use 18k gold plate wires...

while right here most of us would complain - that id/contractors loves taking us to their "preferred" lighting/sanitary/accessories shops and earn extra commission by marking up the prices. but there are actually dumb dumbs out there that are complaining that their contractors doesnt bring them out for shopping $4000 for electrical - either you stay in a EM or a condo. or else no way.

locks shop beside keypoint - beach road.

you can ask the shops to fix the T5 + e-ballast for you. if you have to ask so much questions - i believe you got a lousy contractor...hardly a ID. cos all such things should be done by them NOT you.

rattan shop in alexandra village, the block beside hawker centre.

search for EPOXY PAINT - last time i was quoted around $900 for 1 standard hdb toilet. there is a few members here who did that - and it looks good, feels good - till now didnt have any problems.

your electrician would have recommend something - T5 tubes + electronic ballast.

Qn1 = try to use jsut 1 type of tube...in your case T5 . Qns2 = didnt find out - either place they are cheap. qns3 = yes - go to a shop call Hong Kwang. nailpolish remover is exp than 1 tin(about 2 litres) of acetone that costs around $10.

when fridge is spoilt and need to change new one>? can only find one with the same height?

yupz. or can diy at a later time. always insist on philips($9 only) or osram($20+) electronic ballast. try to go for T5.... no heat, doesnt drink electricity.

yupz...but still - it's only a small area and $3k.....haiz

try your best to get downlights that lets you screw in a energy saving bulb. DIE DIE never get those that comes with ballast. usually it cost around $12-$20 only. cheaper and more practical - think of WHO's gonna change the ballast when it spoils. choo chiang more for raw materials, they don have much designs. as for lighting colours - depends on individual. warm white gives a more cozy feeling but me n wife prefer bright white lights.

yup....they do charge by per step. the reason for higher cost is that - too much labour is needed + precise cutting. quite hectic. hmm....donno the area though. although stated in my floorplan since when i said must buy downlight with ballast??? infact, no offense, i find it dumb to get downlight with ballast - cos when it 's spoilt - who gonna go climb the ladder and dig out the ballast from the ceiling??? design and plan your reno for a house - not for a hotel/restaurant cos you DONT have a 24x7 maintenance team.

NEVER buy downlights that comes with ballast, cos when if the ballast chaotar - it will be very troublesome to replace it. Buy only those downlights that lets you screw in a energy saving bulb. Qns1 = yupz Qns2 = up to you Qns3 = i am refering to my downlight, the stainless steel halogen lamp i only paid $20 at kelantan road pic of my $20 halogen lamp

EM = executive mansionette usually 140sqm onwards. It's the staircase that is killing us......cos it's the most expensive to do in the house.

yes, thomson lighting happens to have something nice when i passby their shop so, grab it lor. stainless steel casing with glass cover - $12 or $15 only. downlights usually from $12-$30, how and where you got it for $35/$38 ??? as for T5, depends on design. the tube itself is dirt cheap. www.ccm.sg so far only need to spray some WD40 every few mths. the purpose of having this gate is to have the NOISE hehe. this gate is actually one of my fs setup, older folks knew this. okok, poorman, can show pic of what is a clusterhouse? btw, your question on staircase.... our EM staircase = $3k for parquet or $800 for tilings (last year's price hor). staircase is never cheap....

yes, but you need to ask the bosses to bring out the nice and new ones for you. most of their displays are full of dust - cos they sell to contractors/IDs going by model numbers - no need to see. sun is always closed, sat half day. contractor price - so cheaper or not leh? live angmoh chu still so modest ah.... show you my gate - new one hor - had to DIG real deep in yellowpages and found only 2 companies left in sg that does such gates. - haolianing -

actually more for pple like me who cant afford a maid and got to do the cleaning myself.

discussed many times liao. bleach+toothbrush or mckenic floor wonder+toothbrush.
