You can consider installing the servo-drive for Aventos HF lift up system; set you back about $900. In fact for all the Aventos lift up system, you need to have some allowance space in-between the ceiling and the top of the top cabinet.

You can use those for marine fish but should be more expensive bah. I bought the big crystalise salt so long the label on packaging wrote is "sea salt" will do.

That's cool. Remember to buy a bicycle chain with numbering lock for the metal gate, cheap one just a few dollars.

Respect your view; and here's mine. Even if the previous owner (that Indian man) has given me so much headache on the 2nd appointment, i will not hold it against him. As a matter of fact, the Indian man did not leave his contact number with me to contact him to come pick up his mails, i have kept all his mails in a big carton box (if you like to see, i can show you), then one of these days i will drop them off at the post office with "No such person." written in red marker pen on every pieces of mail.

Your case you can complaint the agent to CEA and suggest that agent to retake the RES exam.

like that they can go report that i use $40 to bribe the town council workers to help me throw away 4 additional bulky items.

Wow... you have a big kitchen (i like!).

Chill. I'm just sharing my thought, no need to get so upset. Smile! It is a misunderstanding, I was quoting ayazumi on post #178 and share my thought; suddenly you came quoted me at post #179 and things spin off to this stage.

Congrats, May.

aiyo... your case similar to mine, the Indian man that sold me his flat also shoot off his mouth saying can give me the key 1 month early for renovation, in the end want us to pay him $3000 to move out, we already have a plan B in place and didnt give in to his non-sense. We waited till 2nd appointment to get the key, when we happily go to the new house, he is bathing inside with his barangs still in the house. We called our housing agent which called his housing agent to come settle. In the end the whole drama settled at 7+pm with me locking the metal gate with the bicycle lock. you pissed off is 1 thing, you still has to be socially responsible, throwing away their letters is not nice thing to do.

The 2nd appointment is usually in the afternoon after 3pm, sometime can be as late as 4:30pm too. The old couple should vacate the house for you to take over, they must hand their keys to you during the 2nd appointment. After that, go buy a bicycle chain with numbering lock and go to your new house, make sure it is vacated and lock it with the bicycle chain on the metal gate. Give the lock combination only to your main contractor/ID. If found the place is not vacated, call your housing agent to contact their housing agent, force them out by reporting to town council and police. If they claim they need more time to move, i suggest you start charging rental and collect payment upfront.

yes, you can change the letter box lock but don't throw their letters away, you never know maybe is some important documents. help them keep their letters and message them to pick them up at your convenience. i sold my 4-room to denimart and we have a simple agreement that i keep 1 of the letter box key so i can collect my mails while i update my new address to all parties, after a few months i will return him the letter box key.

Confirmed glossy laminate. (see the reflection of the light)

at least a week if include water-proof the floor area around the WC, depend on whether hacking of floor tiles is needed.

Market price is about $100 for a LAN point with faceplate at 1 end and termination with RJ-45 on the other; some maybe more $ depend on the quality of the cable. Testing included.

You must make sure they bring in a engineer from PUB to check and test your electrical wiring. Usually this PUB engineer is not needed if you did not move the Distribution Box (DB) cos there are strict rules to follow if you want PUB engineer to certified your electrical wiring like a minimum distance is require if you want to lay a power point near water.

First throw sea salt at all corners and every room in the house (this is to ward off evil spirits) Next throw rice in every rooms Then throw coins (5/10/20 cent coin) in every rooms (limit to less than $10 for whole house) Last pray with pineapples, oranges, apples with joss stick (for Christian can ask your ID or contractor to help you pray, they pray for smooth renovation and huat arh!) Huat arh!

Part of the main door frame is embedded into the concrete floor, to tilt the main door will cost you a bomb, new door frame would not be as solid as the original and must get HDB approval.

Be extra careful, you wont want to invite termite into your home. A hellish nightmare!

help to eat Bak Kut Teh?

drink alkaline water can reduce weight? eat less carbo (rice, bread, noodle... etc) better. drink alkaline water can reduce blood pressure? maybe drink continuous for 20 years and live a healthy life style bah. i just started less than 2 months ago, cant feel any effect yet, maybe after 1 year if got result then i post here.

Cool idea but not practical. Something modern, simple and practical is better.

I see... If that is the case, dilute more then paint 1 coat by 1 coat to get the tone you want, better than paint a darker coat and ruin the original. Or you can be creative and stencil some arty pattern over the crack line.

Same here. Only walls that were rebuild using hollow block will crack when it settled. I pump the silicon along the crack and use my finger to rub into the crack, when dry i repaint it with the leftover Nippon Odourless Easywash, undiluted so color stay the same as the original coat.

Check with the police station nearest to you on how you can get yourself a lock pick set and who can provide you training to pick lock.
