  1. ya hdb officer too busy lor but - toilet is a no no for power sockets(i mean by the book, weatherproof or not)
  2. no need say thanks lah - when i new here, pple help me also, me just returning the goodwill back to new members. I did ask for a few quotes for roofs - all around $2000 - $2300.00 but roof is roof, windows is windows, you need to pay for windows to be installed. prepare around $3k+ for the above. more things to add - 1) your tiles at balcony - if need to re tile it gonna cost around $700(floor+wall) 2) floor height, if need to raise the floor at balcony to the same height as living room another $300-$400 me gave up at the end cos i cant afford it...
  3. very tok kong - sure no cheap. me simlim mentality = cheap thing no good, good thing no cheap.
  4. my curtains all in for 3 big windows below $300. try staring at sharp(with auto brightness), thats why i switch from plasma school to lcd school.
  5. ask patrick - change the toilet windows to single panel is not exp. he already got many experience. but you need to go buy the fan first, make your window size is big enough to accomodate 6" or 8" - dont forget the window's handle.
  6. usually contractor will apply for you. HDB dont charge single cent for permit, just that the contractor needs spend some petrol to go to the branch office thats all.
  7. no problem, just call me. me come meet you anywhere(except TUAS+jurong island, hates tuas)
  8. that pple is me frankly, as long as you dont make the hdb officer angry with you, he is not going find faults with you. one of the older members Mr GMC even have a power socket inside his toilet!! which is a NONO!.
  9. me used to support plasma "school" back then, cos plasma got an edge over lcd when using under room light enviroment. Until Sharp came up with a AUTO brightness control.... normal lcd without auto brightness control will be too glaring and too bright inside a house. Plasma doesnt have this disadvantage, only disadvantage plasmas have is in shopping malls/best denki when there are too many fluroscent lights(too bright), it doesnt look vibrant under extreme bright enviroment.
  10. you mean the mechanism? last time i enquired...it's around $75 per pc( 2 needed for 1 drawer ). then the special "butterfly" for doors also around that price. go geylang lor 17/19, there's a shop on the main road(sim ave or drive). That has lots of door handles displayed outside the shop, they specialise in cabinets/drawer/door parts for contractors.
  11. ya..the 1999 still can consider. $1299...wah old man longtime no update liao !! me just keeps BIOing the sharp prices.
  12. branded 32" lcd all around $1700+ nia... this sony a bit overpriced. you make so paiseh o nthe $24
  13. they scare our ventilator POLLUTE the ozone layer with our cake's aroma....
  14. huh? i was quoted around $300 nia....for stairs without wood railings. maybe you wanna source around.... ST classifieds i remember the phone number is something ending wtih 1011or 1001.
  15. tea leave = respect, like offering tea salt = for cleansing - to chase all dirty/bad luck away.
  16. to me it's not worth it. $90 x 30 mths = $2700 for sony lcd, i believe you can get it cheaper than the advertised price $2499.00 moreover for a BRANDED 32 inch LCD , this price is way too ridiculous. as for internet most oversea site(99% unless you surf only sg sites) the throughput is only around 1mbp. for a 1mbp internet access - only $30 per mth. at least i am "only" bullying.....you wanna TORTURE pple siah....wahlao...
  17. wah...very nice staircase...mine only metal railings...not wood.
  18. i donate $3, but you got pay taxi driver $10 to come to my house take it.
  19. i think so, they got designer switches displayed outside, inside they got full range of KDK. look for the younger brother(skinnier) wearing specs. Saturday the whole block most closed at noon-430pm nia. showers still ok, wait you kena somebody who just finish baking cakes.... 20watts and 15watts, the difference is the amount of air it can "suck" thru - not significant. btw, PUB charges you 1000watts per hour at 20 cents. For 3mins you reheat your pizza using the 2000watts microwave oven, how long is it equivilent to the 20 watts fan? ventilation fans is NOT allowed by HDB same as cats, but as long as nobody complains.....

    Water Pipes

    i didnt know about this until my contractor hand over, lucky i got a responsible contractor - he did all the stop valves. i didnt request for it.
  21. 1. MBR and common toilets - one toilet is around $3k * this is just the wet-works or includes everything - the sink, toilet, door, shower screen, heater? take out door($200), shower screen(some includes) and heater($250+). 2. paint whole house including grills (using nippon medifresh) - www.nipponpaint.com.sg $1600 sorry, miss out the grills, nipponpaint i dont know whether they will paint the grills . 3. Redo sink n cooking hob area, change chute - price difference a lot from brand+layout. * looking at rinnai - seems to be a popular choice among forumers. kitchen can be VERY EXPENSIVE - really depends. 4. change lighting switches - depends from $3.50 a pcs. 5. change main door - from $380 to $1000 * is it a must to opt for fire rated doors? only if your unit is next to the staircase or lift. then you need fire door. fire door at least $600! 6. polish marble flooring - no idea 7. varnish parquet flooring - $100-$200 per room, staircase = $350 * faint liao - 3 bedrooms + 1 staircase = $950 8. Chemical wash balcony and kitchen flooring - around $120. the grouting in the kitchen is really black ... really hope that the chemical wash will help, as at this rate, definitely no money to re-do kitchen flooring. better to call a few contractors and quote you. so at least you know whats the exact cost might look like. took me 20k to do just the groundfloor cos i engage HOBEE (see their reputation in reno firms section). You forgot water piping($500) and electrical wiring($2k+), plus installation CHARGEs of hood/hobs/aircon/heater and the small small stuffs that pops up during reno. for reno permit, dont worry, the contractors can get the permit in less than 2 days.

  24. hmm the "arms" cost around $15 - but nowadays requires stainless steel. that price i dont know. can buy from geylang lor 17-19 and some bigger hardware stores. Or just ask your contractor to take care of it.
