  1. Yes, u can, provided you redo your bathroom flooring. the main sewerage hole will not shift, the only lay pipes underneath to facilitate the flow of water
  2. $110-$150/ft also depending on overall ft. <$200-400 for kitchen cabinet base if need to construct. counter top additional charge. for budget go for solid surface, got more moolah to spend go for quartz. don't get compress wood, thats y yr counter top is rotting.
  3. wah likely the fella won't reply u from a 2007 post. yes, it will get dirty, just keep your place dry. there is nothing u can do about it. the hole is there so piping can run through from the bottom. only thing is whether the hole is big or small and especially p-trap wc have these.
  4. For HDB flat you shouldn't shift the WC or try pipe altering by additional fixtures. It is prone to jam. so wall mount wc is also out. even if u can wall mount it will make your bathroom even smaller. u can only shift your basin and bath area. usually for this type of space, basin in front of wc and chop the entire area into two, the other side for bath. but there is a drawback, yr mirror is right in front of your wc and every time u do big business, you will see your own expressions which i find it very awkward and a no no no. personal preference.
  5. go for vinyl, cheaper. more water proof, will not pop out after long use, not easy to be scratched. but both vinyl and wood are susceptible to depress under sharp heavy weight.
  6. Nope, its not like that one. Vinyl flooring are rubbery plastic types of materials. It's prone to depressing with heavy weight. The above is caused by heavy objects placed on top and dragging it. Tell your ID to change the affected vinyls.
  7. aye dun worry lah...if u see the fridge delivered is carton boxed properly wif proper packaging is most probably new one. check the handle area where pple open and close the door and the bottom of the fridge door there for scratches. handle area are prone to scratches whena alot of people opening it and fridge bottom is people kicking it...u see liao will noe lor... cheers!

  9. yes u can find them there. btw kaarcher most models dun have retractable cables to hide the cabling, so very ley chey, i've dropped the idea to get teh kaarcher...
  10. note that for mio plan, you cannot switch off your router or else your home phone will not work cos it's a digital line. so 24hrs have to be on. oh btw the pic shown is some sort of telephone xchange to facilitate phone line in your house for single or double lines. they ain't so good to provide you with so many ports for internet use. look at the cabling, line1 and line2
  11. aye dun kenna smoke hor...the price of a boxup is different from cabinet. normally they charge the same boxup/cabinet price when u boxup the pipes at the cabinet area, so they already earn. actually u dun do boxup also can just have the chimmney extended all the way to the top. some chimmney like rinnai are extensible. my house is old house have a protuding edge so no choice have to do boxup, if no protuding edge can don't need to do.
  12. DIY is the cheapest, just get a new set of hinge and relocated them to those not rotten area. if the entire edge rot then have to change liao...
  13. dun need to buy new one. my wife house aircon is oso very lao kok kok, but still in good shape give cool air. if the aircon u all switch on feel cooling then it's ok. if u don't use it more than once a week dun need to change, if yes then have to. aircon that don't perform will consume more elec cos the AI will tell it to keep making room cooler...
  14. eh they may not enteratin u cos u not the owner. u can call HDB to check. HDB is responsible for all structures of the building, should go to HDB, but make sure u call the branch HDB. before the transaction is complete, make sure u pen down the defective structure area with the HDB officer. have it fixed fast before ur reno or it might pose as a problem if ur reno completed to fast.
  15. i can only reply ur one...first hand hdb do one the waterproofing membrane normally last 20 years. u stay there another 12 years may have a chance to leak so it's better to hack and retile...
  16. i got all my house lights from DK oso, but contractor call up when installing saying 2 pcs is crack, dunno they break or transit break. so i went back and change so ok. service wise i would say it's good. i won't dare to say any retailers are honest....sometimes is see luck one, i for one is pretty satisfied...
  17. can lah...u theres a fews ways to go about doing it. 1. Line up at the crazy queue at any SH shop and cash and carry 2. Sign up online and collect at the SH place at Killiney 3. Call them up to sign up for the Cable TV, option to deliver and fix. Go there website scroll thru the promos if u got budget cos there is waiver of activation fee and when i call up they SH pple give me the delivery free as well. cheers!
  18. If u did an entire rewiring, then its the electrician fault cos when re-wiring, you can put it anywhere u like. If it is a shifting of electrical points then maybe cos the shifting will depend on the slack left by the previous electrician, but most of the time, electrician will charge u for shifting cos they will add in addition cabling. it can be done.
  19. height to ceiling have a conformance measurement. how much i not sure, check hdb website. if it dun violate can do. older hdb flats have their wc area normally raise, prevent water splashes oso, but i dun think flooring u can raise any higher than that
  20. u tell him u didn't confirm and ask him why he go and shift without informing u all, then ask him to give u a breakdown of how many switches he shifted and how much is per shift. from there u will know if he overcharge. one new powerpoint socket is only $40 and $50 for a double and also includes new switches. for shifting of sockets u gotta ask cos i din do it b4
  21. eh dun worry lah it's correct. if he dun put the extra kerb, then your door will hit the ground and keep contact with water. even if u say dun need put near floor level, just suspend the door by hinge halfway looks lagi funnie from the inside. sliding door oso the same, normally shld buid raise kerb or else track prolong in water is no good.
  22. if u r living in hdb u got to watch out for water pressure. rain showers are not recommended for hdb flats
  23. No lah, if u buy first hand one, dun need to change the main door, it's included in your package. if not, wat key hdb give u? oni grill meh. u go ask any reno pple, they always tell u hdb give de main door if not spoil dun need to change cos it's of good quality and neway u mention in yr previous post its optional for interior doors. interior doors duneed to put solid timber, solid naytoh one can le...
