There you go...toyogo...can try those old fashion hardware store, sure got sell.

OIC. That sounds very interesting! If that will mean savings then yah why not? Sounds like a huge savings.

I think it is totally unnecessary. Logically speaking you can buy the plastic base at $5 and put them at corners of the fridge. I am anti-base.

It is a rip off. I seriously dun understand why do we need to go for those old fashion raised based? Is that even necessary? These may be relevant back in the old days, these days noone really "scrub" the floor and moreover a floating or raised cabinet is better than one with a base.

Logically speaking, yes. But... I remember i asked one of the contractors before, they say there is very little difference in cost because they have to smooth out the walls etc...is that true? I don't want contractors to smoke us to rip us off...hence the question. anyway has experience to verify this? Or contractors free to comment? I understand this is your bread and butter but need some objective costing too.. Thanks much

Really ah? didn't think of that actually...is that significant?

Is the cement screeding cheap? How much did it cost you to do that for the toilets and kitchen? I like to do the same also - thinking that it will save me money from buying tiles? You mind sharing your screeding quote pls? thank you.

If I hack flooring and ask contract do cement screeding and on the wall tiles after hacking is it expensive?

Hello All, Does anyone know if hacking off the wall tiles and floor tiles of kitchen and then not replacing it with tiles. Instead, cement screed the entire kitchen wall and floor, will it be more expensive than retiling? Tks

Have you moved in yet? Is it a good place so far?

I think those who paid below valuation or no COV are usually eligible for sale to malay, indian and others only. Usually if flats are available for sale to all races, chinese can fetch higher COV because the market catchment is bigger. But the COV and cash portion of all flats are going crazy...but still people are willing to buy it. The market is just crazy.

Who is ur contractor? quite reasonable for doing many things.

Hi All, any amenities there? This place is quite ulu - i noticed there is bus stop to toa payoh and a underpass to St michael's estate...anything else there? Cheers

Frustration frustration! I am now in the midst of renovating my place and the sanitary ware i buy all from poo joo along jln besar. They recommended a plumber to me to do my place 1) first the toilet bowl was installed and was salah the cistern is not against the wall? Coz he left the original base and install the new toilet bowl! i had to rush back from my work during lunch coz my father complain to me! 2) then later afternoon another horror story - my pippings are all concealed and they installed my storage heater and guess what they drill the hole in my pipe and the pipe burst! 3) i have the butt cleaning spray hose they install so high up same level as my wash basin? horror horror! I called up poh joo ask for Alan - another girl who dun even know their plumber's PUB license. I want to ensure that i get the license so that if the pipe leaks again, i know that it is which plumber to cover myself. They dunno! So i ask the plumber and he refused to give me his PUB license?! Frustration dealing with Poh Joo and their recommended plumber. They keep saying they do 30 over years liao. I said if u r 30 over years so why still like this? And where is ur metal detector to detect the pipping? i ask them to show me the tools they can do...coz they say concealed piping they cannot know where so i presume with metal detector they can help they say not accurate? Angry angry angry - so bad luck. :-(
