Remember, DO NOT RUSH when picking a suitable id/contractor. Go for their showflats...and ask the name of the carpenter or tilers if you feel that they are up to your standard. And ask your id for them to do your house. Thought it is tiriing and streeful, it worth taking your time to choose one good id/contractor. Good Luck!

Hi RIC For the benefit of others, hope that you can translate into english. Many thanks. Happy

A big thanks for GrandPapa. Hope you wont mind asking so many questions. I notice quite a number of new home owners install under-cabinet rope lights / tubes / bulbs for an instant kitchen facelift / to brighten up the kitchen counter top. Is it true that kitchen must be bright? Even it seldom use to cook? Thanks! Happy

Yes agreed with FD1976...I was kind of huh??? when I see all the chinese posting....

Hi GrandPapa The compass reading is when I stand in the middle of the living room? If it point at the north...do not place electricial stuffs....right? Howe about lights? I mean ceiling lights should be ok right? Hmmm my north sector (when I am standing in the middle of the room) is a piece of wall...nothing over there. General Question again: 1) Any tips for Dos and Donts in the living room? Thanks! Happy

Hi Neighbours I think better stick a note on the door about the dog bark....send the owner a warming letter that the matter will bring up to the town council. Hi Purple Do let us know if you need help on your renovation. Hi Linggie Do drop us a line if you come here.

Hello LINGGIE...remember me? You neighbours at blk25b. Went to your house once...last year....do hope to hear from you and your reno.

Hi GPP, thks! I will be installing those energy saving lights, but not everyday switch on. I only switch on the main foyer area where I use to open my main door. Another general question: Any tips on living room? Do's and Dont's? Thks and have a nice day! HAPPY

No offend to the dog owner...lately find lots of dog poo around the area. Why cant they pick it up and throw in the dustbin? It really makes the place very ditry and unhygienic.

Hi GrandPapa General question; 1) Dark corners. Should install light bulbs to lighten it up at night/evening? Thanks. Happy

Hi Purple Sorry to hear your plight and anger! If anything can help, do let us know. I will come in (reno forum) almost daily. Happy

My cousin a christian engaged her church priest and on the first day, the priest chat and sprinkle the holy water all over the house.... Maybe your priest will tell you where to place the altar...??

1 thing I also want to share among the homw owner...dont buy pieces of mirror and make it a whole. But 1 whole piece. I saw a few from ikea that they have eg) 4 pieces to make it 1 piece and of course there will be a break line in bweteen the mirror. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks!

Good deal! NOt ex.

Hi GRANDPaPa I also read that putting the shoes in the shoe cabinet MUST not be higher than the owner. Btw, thanks for the SHOE pointers, I think I have to wash the shoes and shoes rack and make sure no smell on the shoes..preferably putting a lemon freshners on the rack. How about that? If smelly shoe rack outside the main door will make bad energy thus will lead to frequent quarrel and not luck? Correct? Is open show rack advisable to put outside the main door? Or need something like a plastic to cover it? Please advise and thanks. Hope GRAND wont mind me asking too many questions. Happy

Hi GrandPaPa 1 very general question to ask you. When not in use, close the toilet door or toilet bowl cover? Thanks Pal! Happy

Hi GrandPapa, I want to ask you about burner..those oil and fragrane where I use to see pple house, they put it in the toilet and master bedroom. Any thing related to fs? Thanks! Happy

Any gst? Bettr if they wavied that! It come out alot. Better ask first.

If you are not in hurry, then it is ok to engage him since he's consider good. But not sub to others. I also dont like that idea too. But then OMO is indeed very tight as he run from unit to another units......fainted! Should understand him lah. Running a one man show is not easy...

Hi PURPLE What's happen? Which block are you in? Can come over? Happy

Hello Barrie Care to share your experience and what do you to make your house and your family great? Happy

Ask whether can waive gst charges or not! It comes in thousands of dollars. Some dont charge, some charge. Take a look at the bottoom of all quotations. If never stated, ask them, cos' they might hid the gst to make the quatation attractive. Once sign, they will tell you gst charge! Got it?
