  1. As long as magnetic it is okay. Iron and stainless steel are magnetic.
  2. Kohler, franke are expensive brands. Elkay I heard before also okay. There are quite a lot of brand of sinks you might want to get a stainless steel 16 gauge sink. The hardness of the metal by thickness.
  3. I have Aventos quoted but in the end due to space constraint I cannot get it done. Yes I think it still depends on the id. Best to talk to id on this.
  4. Ah I see where the miscommunication took place, he was asking about the light brown table shown in the blind picture. That picture was taken from the seller website eh? That is why there is a difference in table wood colour.
  5. I don't have everything done in Blum but it will be interesting to know that it will be cheaper if you purchase the drawers from Blum and get contractor to do cabinet. I believe that the quote per foot run is inclusive of drawers. Removing it from the quote may not happen but that depends. If you go to the extend of using hk Aventos then it will be more expensive because one system cost about $700.
  6. I'm using fisher induction and range hood. Have not tried since still in reno phase but reviews are okay. Prices are ok as well.
  7. I'm getting the fisher and paykel front load. There are many brands out there you will have to decide which one will suit you in terms of your need and affordability. I have heard about beko but I can't tell much because don't have friends using it.
  8. Bro, do you mind sending me the blind contacts as well. Thanks!!
  9. You are right i think there are many of them lurking around. For those looking for ID/contractor, recommend you to see those members that have undergone renovation and if you like what you see then ask for contact.
  10. Boss, got "office carpet" to recommend putting in my living room? The reason for doing so is to prevent the wheels of the chair to scratch or dirty the floor. Any design pictures?
  11. Yup, I have opt for induction. Run on 16amp instead of 13amp. New bto hdb can only run up to 16amp. Means two zone. Landed and private and old hdb(need to apply permit from hdb) can go up to 30amp. 5 zone inductions. 2cts worth.
  12. Thank you for the in depth review. How about some pictures and which one did you buy with an updated pic here would be good?how about using food trap so the food will not go down the sink? I know there will be times whereby some food do get into the pipe.
  13. Bro, I requested ID to include in the design when he showed me. It can be easily be done by contractor.
  14. Hello, Our renovation is on going, can anybody provide some suggestions or recommendation regarding carpets on where to purchase as our idea is to lay some 'protection' on the floor. We will be using office chairs so the movement of the wheels may scratch the floor, and also to prevent the feet from touching the cool tiles all the time. My current ID suggested, office carpet which is much cheaper. or Ikea has a poly-something sheet that place on the floor to prevent scratches. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks~
  15. Kitchen 80% done. More Kitchen pictures. End of cabinet near washing machine area, encased pipes where more shelves for storage purposes. Now we have a lot of storage. opposite laundry area where the fridge will be placed. Square drainage hole that can be open in case of flood to protect the cabinet. (More economical option). Kraus Sink is well proven for no issues. Fisher and Paykel Hood, hidden. 3 fans. Air movement 800 m3/hr, 60 db on sound. Pull out drawer for storage, no more taking 10 things out just to get that item. Two small 'ledge' located at the back of the wall is where the LED lights will be run to give a 'cove' lighting for the top carpentry.
  16. At least we have narrowed down the possible root cause. If hacking is required, then HDB need to answer who will pay for the hacking fees, applying fees, haulage etc. If want to be even nastier to HDB, ask them to cover some of the defects esp. when it comes to 'water proofing' because it is in their 'policy' to prevent water leakage esp. to those in the bathroom. If not why do we pay so much and not allowed to hack toilet tiles etc? To be critical, a 'feedback' letter to town council can be done too. i hope i didn't sound too critical and making a fuss out of a mole hill. If you just want it to be rectified, like your contractor say contact HDB first, ask them about the issue and who will pay if hacking is required. Because if the leak gets worst and worst, the water proofing will not help you in your MBR as the water proofing is only in the toilet and soon, your neighbour will complain. Then can ask HDB, if they want 2 issues or 1 i better stop commenting.
  17. Hi, depending on how fast you want it to be done. We have contacted HDB contractors before and their response are fast, just that the timing etc if i would have a choice wouldn't want to call them. Outside contractor do faster, but more expensive. After a year, they will still charge you at market rate. This actually is unacceptable to have leakage inside a wall but before we jump to conclusion, i would firstly call the HDB contractor arrange a time and let them diagnose. concurrently you can ask your previous contractor that does plumbing for 2nd opinion. Then you can decide. the 'mold' area is cooler to touch compared to the surrounding?
  18. Raydon, call a contractor to take a look at this, the pipe is much closer to the wall then we think and it actually is 'touching' the wall on the other side. The cement must have 'leak' it across. There might be a small leak. If the contractor can identify the actual area of the leak, it will be a small job. hope this helps.
  19. uhm... my ID quote me for electrical: 13 amp single point: $45 each13 amp double point $55 eachsupply and shifting of switches : $25
  20. Hacked 2 feet of wall leading towards the kitchen to look and feel a bit bigger. Best decision. We gain a total of 2 square feet of space and if you can see the view at the same point it looks bigger without the constrain.
  21. Saw Daddywinter reply on getting Sink from TB and experiencing choke... This is his T-blog link 4th page For those who are looking for good quality sink, please do re-consider. The bitterness of poor quality lingers far longer than the sweetness of cheap price has been long gone. Sink is not something you use for a short period so my recommendation is to invest in the best you can afford. There are quality ones that are relatively low price purchased locally with service support. 2cts worth.
  22. Daddy winter, i'm going to link your comments and T-blog on saving up for a good sink instead of getting from TB to another thread because i reckon many have fell into the hole of getting sink from TB. Please let me know if this does not work for you and i'll remove the link.
