  1. hi, I dont see any pressure relief valve installed for your storage tank, normally they will connect it to the 3rd pipe (indicated by the black sticker), so that in case that the tank pressure monitoring fails, the additional water can be expelled through the pressure relief valve. You might want to get the installer to check again, safety always come first.
  2. Hi, good research! I went thru the same process u did, thou my appointed ID was not in your list. My reno has completed about 3 weeks ago, and Im really happy. Everything is about 95% of what I wanted, with the price that I was comfortable with. I always believed that when we work with the arts (ID is an art, especially when u want "ideas"), the designer is just as important as the credentials of his company. How is the designer like? Does he talk flashy, or come out with ideas that spell $$$? Does he hardsell, or will he change his ideas based on your requirement? If your ID drives a expensive car, wear luxury watches decked in branded clothes from top to bottom, I believe he will not give u ideas that are value for money. Instead, he will be recommending you best of the best stuff at a ultra premium price, whether the idea fits your design or not. If you are on a budget (I cannot understand how 31k to 120k just for renovation is considered budget, but Im assuming your home should be a terrace or semi-D, FYI I spent 18k on reno, 2k for electrical works, about 10k for fittings, home electricals, beds, lightings and consumables such as cooking spices and daily necessities to fill the fridge up for my 4-room bto), do make sure that your ID is someone who can see the importance of money and a budget. The meeting place to hold a meeting, the type of food he orders, the drinks he orders, conversations that he hold over a phone call, accessories for himself, accessories he uses for his car: all these little things will tell u alot about that person. You should be looking for a person who is honest, careful with money, thinks with logic and arts - not just ideas without the care for cost, and most importantly, humble and listens well. The right ID for a friend might not be a right ID for you. Hope you choose your ID wisely and enjoy your reno!
  3. Erm, workmanship definitely not the best, but not shabby either. For me, whatever can be seen, must be good. Whatever cannot be seen or is hidden, does not have to be that good. I would grade their work as 7/10. Some things which wasnt very good, they will rectify. But sometimes after rectify still not so good, so I will repair them myself as long as they give me the raw materials. They are really busy now so I rather I fix them then to wait for them to fix it. I dont have a digital copy, but basically i paid 18k for reno works without elec works. big ticket items include FH 5FT shoerack, living room 7FT TV console w/ top and bottom storage, kitchen masonry works, kitchen cabinets 22FT, granite top, kitchen corner storage system, False ceiling for Living room and walking corridor, L-box w/cove lighting at tv console area, MBR TV console, MBR 7FT 2dr wardrobe, 2 x suspended bedside table w/drawer, MBR toilet vanity counter w/ SS top, top and bottom storage, full wall mirror, glass shower screen and other standard items such as painting, plumbing works etc etc. Good luck!
  4. Hi, I paid SGD$70+ after shipping but I bought it around november 2011 when there was a 30% off. Even at US$70, it is still very cheap when u compare to the prices in SG.
  5. Nope, the water pressure is so weak even for normal shower. and I hate storage heaters, so definitely no rain shower for me
  6. The frame was made to order by my bi-fold door supplier, I mounted the fan that I bought on the frame, sealed the edges with silicon and connected the fan to my LED lights. So after a shower or toilet cleaning, I would leave the LED lights on for 5 mins so that the fan can dry everything So much easier than mopping and mopping.
  7. Final DIY for my home before all the house warming and xmas/new yr celebrations! Exhaust fan for the MBR toilet!
  8. Aiyo, read t-blog, read from start to end la... the contacts are all posted out liao Post #168
  9. Hi, hard to check, But usually it will state that it is suitable for low pressure or high rise building. U can use a low pressure suitable shower for a high pressure place, just don't turn the tap to the Max Else it might be too painful.
  10. Did you buy the type for low pressure? Many people also bought rain shower without making sure it could work with low pressure. In the end became rain drizzle...
  11. 1. Ya box up provided by HDB. 2. There is a electrical point inside the box up, just need to tap from there and extend out. The 2 gang is not supplied. Else, you can tap to your toilet light power too. 3. LED strips do not come with any power. You need to purchase it separately depending on your needs, either adapter or direct power supply. Most LED suppliers will have stocks for those too.
  12. oh! then u can buy the plastic cover separately and install it. its universal so all 2 gang switches will fit. think it only cost a few dollars.
  13. I think this height is the same for all BTOs. for myself, i only connect the hood to the switch and since there's a plastic cover it's alright for me. I hide the wires by using some spare trunking which is about the same colour as my tiles. It is too costly to relocate since it will require replacement of many tiles.
  14. Hi bleucheeze, it's around 105cm and 56cm. Of course if I could, I would have gotten a bigger sink. But counter space is important for me too. That why I made sure my tap can be pull out, it makes washing big items alot easier, even woks.
  15. I converted the power point to a 2 gang socket, one to power up the LED, the other is pending my exhaust fan installation next week, so many things to DIY, so little time Mounted the LED strip using 3m double sided tape, and further supported by industrial clear tape across it. After 1hour of sweat and hard work, tadah! Hope this can help you!
  16. Hi, the discount runs until year end. You can buy the sink first ma, sink don't expire. But u will need to decide what size sink you will need. Else even without that 20% discount, it's still cheaper than buying it locally or from US.
  17. Ya! Though my wife likes it but i prefer the "dry" bak kut teh further up.
  18. Yup the range is good! Many designs to choose from. We bought our bathroom taps from there and we were so amazed. My colleague tagged on me to buy a kitchen tap and he was shocked that the quality is so good, now he wants me to buy another one when i go malaysia again lol.
  19. Yup, no clang clang sound. the sound it produces is more solid, like deep bass.
  20. Hi bro, I used 300led 3528 warm white powered by a 2A adapter. If you want brighter u can try 5050, 600led if you are using it for direct lighting.
  21. Sorry, I hope you have not bought this sink yet. I bought a exact model, but smaller size 18" one. The material and design is exactly the same but without the Kraus branding and wire mesh accessory. I am currently using it, even the bottom part is the same, reinforced with the dark gray thing. According to the website, the 23" model is RM750 - 20% (year end sale, 20% off everything) = RM600 = SGD$241. Just need to make a trip to JB to handcarry out. customs allow up to SGD$150 tax free per pax in car. So if your car has 4 pax, u can go up to SGD$600 / RM1500 for tax free. http://www.aldeco.com.my/products-page/sink-accessories/sq6045-handmade-single-kitchen-sink/
  22. I cook around 4 days in a week, 4 is the way to go - but build a countertop beside the fridge too.
  23. Kitchen sink from Aldeco Living in malaysia, Tap from online. free shipping. EJ Address I'll PM u. Blinds from korea, u need to measure the length and height, then order directly. It is more simple than taobao, since you do not need to go through an agent.
