Hi, I renovated my whole house about 3 years ago, and recently HDB is doing an home improvement plan for the whole block. I do not intend to re-renovate the toilet and bathroom because I have spent a lot of money on it and of course, they are pretty new. However, the waterproofing test failed for the bathroom and HDB requires that I either repair, or opt into the home improvement plan, tear down the whole bathroom and toilet/ or just the flooring and upturn. The second option though less hacking, poses another issue, the wall tiles I used are no longer available from the tile company. I asked around and heard that there is a waterproofing method, which is using chemcial to flood the toilet and bathroom. HDB advised against that as it is on the surface treatment. Anyone tried that before? Can share with me how you find this method? particularly after 3 years, is it still effective as in no leakage to downstair unit? any "side effect"? thanks!

this is the link: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=20540392246 i want to get this too. btw, saw at star furniture at $299.

thanks Dragonnite! Yes I need lots of good luck!

Thanks dragonnite. ha, seller asks me to just pay and he will still help to repair then send back. maybe I should just ask the seller to give me a discount and I will stop bothering him. so sick, another forumer bought this product for himself and friends no problem and for me, everything that could go wrong for this house has happened.

Any one ordered through Aliexpress and have issue with the item received? I ordered a peephole camera (see product here) and the image has problem. Seller advised to send back for repair and they will send to me after repair or even a new item immediately if the original is not scratched. I have two problems here: - I checked the cost to send back, via Singpost its around S$42 for something of that size! anyone know of more economically alternative and yet will not take too long to deliver? I wish to settle this soon. - Seller has requested that I do not open dispute (money is via escrow) and the confirming order deadline is ending, afterwhich money will be automatically released. I'm not really looking for a refund but is also not comfortable with just releasing payment. Anyone know how to delay the confirm order deadline? I emailed Aliexpress and no one replied. My first online order went all wrong. Anyone have (unfortunate) experience in such matters and could provide some advice? thanks!

The String pocket shelf is much nicer. If you go to Foundry, which has something similar but more extensive (bottom shelves available), it is even more ex.

I like the green one, but ya, orangy yellow will probably more suited for your interior color scheme. Wow, the seller will even mail sample to you.

May I know how much and where did you all buy it from? Like the retro design, only short coming is that I have a habit to bring my phone around but can't seem to find a retro cordless phone...

Mayb if very careful n keep dry will be ok for very long? I got a colleague who did white glossy laminate, coming to 3 years, she say didn't turn yellowish. Anyway I also do white juz that its matt not glossy. The contractor say if turn yellowish will look creamy. Btw, he say all color will change, whether its white or not.

Nice! Initially I wanted something like this too, but the contractor bought me to soon bee huat, which don't have. I think these look nice as backsplash too. Or mix with some plain ones in between for flooring...

My contractor told me all will turn yellowish after 3 years due to oxidization.

Thanks Kenjo!

I've moved in for more than 1 month but things still pretty messy. Haven't get my dining table and side tables. The worst is many warranty cards not sent yet. Find that a real hassle. Oh, and I just receive a warning letter from the authorities to update my address. I must be a really lazy person, which also explains why so long no updates... some small stuff I've got: first time assembling something. quite happy that i manage to complete independently, despite some errors in Ikea's instruction. I've always thought that nice cushion covers are at a ridiculous price. I just don't understand why even the simple ones that I could accept cost more than $10. So i got my mum to sew. Found this cute canvas fabric in a shop at Pearl's market. will update more photos hopefully soon.

any one seen the petal coffee table in taobao shops before? This should be something that is very common and i thot of getting this but can't seem to find in taobao. If anyone see please let me know ok? Thanks!

Hi Sohnice I still haven't got mine as still have some reservations on this. One year sound like a pretty short lifespan. Any thing you particularly like about this that make you decide to get the same thing again? thanks! originalbread
