yes yes, thinking of using it coz it solves the problem of applying sealer every year...

me too me too really love the food, shopping and sights can't be bored no matter how many times i go there hopefully this year can squeeze some money out to go for my 'pilgrimage' (my bf calls it so coz i MUST go every year hehehe )

sorry not sure where leh, just remember reading it from either newspaper or those brochures that comes with the bill

a useful website to convince your TO that the tiling is really not up to standard http://www.bca.gov.sg/housing/sp/Renovatin...ointerFloor.htm this is a guideline issued by another gov agency so should hold some water !!

maybe if you state what you want then it's easier for us to give suggestions e.g. resort feel, antique or kopitiam type of round, modern, rustic

most important is the two of you must be happy with the end result ultimately it represents the start to a brand new stage in your lives better to smash now than spend more money if the end result is not what you wanted !!

sorry sorry, it's for BKK (bangkok) me aiming coz there got a lot of affordable home furnishing items !!

can't remember if it's this forum or HWZ that someone was complaining that the 3-mth old starmex inverter broke down twice liao. maybe you want to go and dig up the thread to convince your hb to get toshiba !!

now looking for storage headboard for my parents' room coz their bed has to be under a beam so no choice must find a thicker headboard. no money to make feature wall too so far only managed to find storage headboard at robinsons bed shop and king koil shop. anyone has any other recommendations? tia

am thinking of using quartz countertop coz it seems to provide the pros of granite and corian tops. also, how much does it cost? and is it difficult to get or most contractors will know where to get? thanks so much

uob got promo, cathay pacific air-tix $188 a pair maybe can consider, go there and get somemore things for your new home

now have not even start rectification and bought so many things already can't imagine how much i'm going to bust my budget by before i started to sit down and really think about it, i thought $10k should be enough coz not doing flooring, no electrical works nor much carpentry but now the figure for reno alone is approaching $12k and excludes all the things i have bought so far e.g. sofa, air-con, lights etc sigh... think really got to be very frugal liao

my flat is also 5yrs plus, they also changing everything for me as mine is a premium flat, they are changing the faded tiles too dun worry, just put everything down in the defect list they provided and submit

hi, think our unit layout is similar can share what solution you have? the aircon piping to going to go round my MBR, major headache !!

bought the sink bcoz got two bowls still can wash things on one side when defrosting food on the other the uncle at hoe kee also taught us something very practical if sink has no drainer, just get a thick chopping board, then can wipe the water over the edge into the sink just bought a bigger wok for my new home - 40cm my current home one is 36cm which is a tad too small, yesterday when i fry rice, the rice flew all over the place the sink can take this one coz the bowl is 56.5cm wide so so so happy !! now patiently waiting for her to call me to go down and choose the tile colour most prob will take bluberi's suggestion to top up for homo tiles thanks bluberi you really gave me a lot of good suggestions

yes yes they will change everything for you it's a brand NEW flat, everything should be NEW good luck in negotiating with your TO must die die insist that the flat be in NEW condition

it might depend on where is the tv and if you have a habit of watching tv whilst eating

eh dun think so pink is consider warm bah, subset of red which is fire

congrats! some suggestions for child proving your home includes 1. child lock for appliances and cabinets 2. no sharp corners e.g. kitchen cabinet, tables, consoles etc 3. non-slippery flooring coz children like to run about 4. wires not running on the floor coz toddlers will put everything into their mouth 5. grilles are a MUST 6. certain things should be at childrens' height e.g. a sink for them to wash hands will post if i can think of more

what is the name of the colour that is lighter than cool lime maybe use that as my living room colour, read somewhere that colour good for me is cool not warm so thinking between green and blue...

thank you thank you it's a compromise but still meets my requirements got my keys on 5 Mar and submitted my defect list on 12 Mar now is 5 Apr, one month liao and we just did the joint inspection yesterday. though the windows are cleaned up but the changes are not made yet (replacement of glass) think the hacking and relaying will take at least a month then will go on to the other defects so most prob can only start reno in late may or jun now thinking of expanding my bedroom (BR3) coz really very small thinking should 'eat' into the study or dining. any suggestions?

anyone using the irobot roomba? the advertisement makes it sound so good wash, blowdry in one swift movement auto somemore...

hehehe, actually need illegal workers coz the wall that is blocking my kitchen is part of the household shelter so no hacking allowed but me being the law-abiding citizen, it's a definite !! anyway decided to top up for the tiles if they only offer white ceramic replacement, and definitely will remove the balcony sliding doors. should i keep it in the HHS so that next time want to sell the place can pass it to the new owner? !!

yes cool lime is a very nice colour good for eyes also thinking where at home i can paint cool lime maybe select a wall in the living room and paint it in cool lime make it into the feature wall

actually another place you can check out is good furn at bt timah s.c. they sell solid ply teak veneer bookshelves which is not too expensive might be getting from them
