  1. Not only rebates is different, the SCC is lower too, plus I think lower utility bill. However, if you have extended family living with you, the additional room is good.
  2. Thanks Maydream for explaining the permit thing. Yes, it took 3weeks plus to get everything approved. Hack need one approval, erect new wall need another approval, we shift our main door entrance, need another approval...l bla bla bla.... The only thing you need to take note is for hacking, once approved, you are given 3days to hack and if you did not hack during that selected dates, you have to apply again...
  3. Testing testing..... Wooohoooo..... Internet is up! Thanks to starhub efficiency, one call to reactivate back the cable service and was told it will be done within 24hrs. But within an hour, we are able to use it already. I'm typing this in my studyroom, while the lower level is still in a mess!
  4. Reviving my balcony door Carpenter having a hard time fixing the door frame. One of the few things we kept from the previous owner. The runner and hinges were spoilt, the wood warp and they have a hard time aligning it back. Lots of alterations need to be done, and finally, uncle lacquer giving it a new lease of life!
  5. Yes definitely cheaper, can buy one more from this seller.
  6. Yes yes, it's the same and this seller better, can choos the adaptor.
  7. We got it at ebay. Its actually not very expensive, the shipping charges cost more than the kit and we need to buy separately a local adaptor. All in all, it's not more than $100. Fairly simply to install,wires ae quite long, just need to stick the receiver somewhere visible. Ours came few days ago, and it works, now we are thinking of getting another one for our MBR. If you are getting too, maybe we can share the shipping cost.
  8. Did you custom made to fit the wall size?
  9. Nice! It got the feel good effect!
  10. DIY We have been searching hi and lo for the right hanging light for our stairway, went to eurostar, light+form, lumiere etc and along jln bersar and geylang, but still cannot find something that we like. So my SO decide to make one, hope he can do it! The 1st mockup using toothpick!
  11. The problem is we are not sure who is responsible, the IDs or the contractor, apparently, they discussed and without our pressence, decide to remove it. Who make the final decision we are not sure, contractor said is IDs, and we can't confirm with IDs because we are not using them anymore. Who is right who is wrong, we are not sure. We are just angry that whatever decision, they should check back with the owner 1st! There are many things thrown away without our knowledge, the rest are just minor things and already replaced by the contractor. 先斩后做!
  12. Anyone got lobang for those 1way mirror film. I want to put that on the window along the corridor.
  13. IR Infrared Remote Control Repeater All our entertainment components are hidden behind the TV console with wooden doors. That means we are not able to use our remote controller without opening the door. Many IDs or carpenter would suggest to leave the door out or do glass panel or some would do wooden strips. We still prefer solid wooden door, and our initial idea is to install those door which is flip down and silde in to hide it. Now we got a better solution, we found this infrared remote control repeater, we just have to place the receiver outside and it can remotely operate up to 4 components using your existing remote. We can basically hide our scv, dvd player, xbox and etc and still able to use the remote controller :sport-smiley-004:
  14. Have you tried pasting masking tape on the tiles before drilling, I saw my contractor do that, but not sure what's the purpose.
  15. See the above picture, they are referring to this chalk.
  16. It's my parquet guy turn - Ah Huat & team! They have done a great job in repairing and polishing my parquet. Other than always coming late, came from msia, i'm quite satisfy! Conditioning the new parquet skirting Polishing the floor, I like the raw parquet Before After, can you spot the different between the new and the old? When I see the final result, I really heart pain with my staircase Due to not incurring more money in our escalating renov cost, we decided to keep the staircase raw, cement screed.... Whenever I see the raw finishes, it just sadden me! We could have just repair it if not because of some smart alex!! :~
  17. Moved house!! Cannot lah, cannot let them win, just :fire: My mom's old house ever had a nest of cockroaches inside a box of leftover tiles. We only know it when we heard their activities!! When my mom spray insecticide, the cockroaches went crazy! I freak out and hide inside my room!! Hmmm.... Does it work if i use the chalk and draw a big circle around my island?? The ants cannot crawl onto it??
  18. You can try putting herb like star anise at places where **** is spotted. They hate the smell. Actually, its good if you have one lizard living aroung the house, it will help you kill spider and small flies.
  19. Eeeyyyeeeeeee.... But I don't mind ratatouille the rat, every night cook nice food for me. I hate it when cockroaches fly!!
  20. Actually I don't have to worry because I got a pest buster at home. He is extremely paranoid with small nasty creatures. He will track and killed with half can of insecticide. For xiao qiong, he will make sure it drown with insectide! Really hate it when he do that, told him many times that it's not good for the children. There is once, he trace the ant nest to my box of document, he just spray everything inside, with my documents too And there is another time, he messed up the storeroom, dig everything out from it just to track some worms movement. Each time, I will kena from him too Kudo to him, for the past 6years in our previous house, no single sight of lizard at all. No chance for survival! He don't kill, he will catch it with his bare hand and throw it out from the window!
  21. Thanks for the photo sample, didnt see this one at the shop we went, so just bought insecticide to kill the nest 1st. Those major supermarket don't sell these right, must go neighbourhood shop? I'm getting really excited in get rid those creatures!
  22. Wow... Must buy must buy, tonight go and buy, circle around my rubbish chute and around all windows as well!
  23. I have told the worker to patch it up for me. Tonight I'm going to them all! Is there any product in the market that I can put around the rubbish chute to prevent future invasion of creatures??
