Windows without grills - very dangerous for kids

Sibor is likely to stay low for some time. Always take on the riskier option, since the banks always price in risk and they are much better than us in predicting interest rates.

Yes, I nearly went for smart home and paid a $500 deposit. I had the deposit forfeited because a lot of the products that I wanted to use were not compatible with smart home and so I gave up the smart home package and obviously my deposit.

My Mitsubishi Starmex has been a good workhorse. I turn it on every night and so far, it has not given me any problems. Do you all do maintenance for your aircon?

Total damage was $3888 for electrical work, L-box false ceiling, lights and fans from yafen.sg Good quality at an amazing price The only problem was schedule. As their schedule was packed, I had to wait 2 weeks before they could start work. Nearly wanted to go to another contractor but the price difference was too great.

I have edited the original post to include the store website.

Gas cost is lower than electrical. If you cook everyday and want to save cost, then gas is the way to go (something like diesel vs petrol).

I used 5730 18W/m light strip for my cove. Super bright

Looking for quotes for my parent's home. I was quoted the following from yafen.sg which sold me LED lights and did the electrical work for my own home about a year ago. Supply & Install 2x13A power socket: $50 Supply & Install Lighting/Ceiling Fan Wiring Point with Switch: $30 Supply LED 12W Downlight: $12 Supply LED Pendant Light: $48 Install Pendant Light: $10 Install Downlight / Ceiling Light / Pendant Light: $10 Install Ceiling Fan: $50 Supply Acorn Ceiling Fan AC238 with LED Light and Remote Control: $289 1 year onsite warranty Reasonable?

My tap is also leaking. Anyone knows any shop that can repair taps?

For drilling into walls, don't get the battery powered hammer drills. I used the 18V Bosch battery powered drill and could not drill into the wall. When I switched to the Bosch drill powered by the wall plug, I could easily drill into the same wall.

yafen.sg has cheap and good LED lights, including T5 LED. I have not bought from her as my renovation has not started but her store is highly recommended on various online forums as her product variety is wide, quality is good and most importantly, her products are much cheaper than other stores.

Price looks reasonable. Please PM me ID contact. Thanks!

I need to replace fluorescent tubes every few months in my parents' house. In comparison, LED should last several years. For 25 LED downlights, the cost should be around $600 inclusive of installation, based on $14 per LED downlight plus $10 for installation that I got from Yafen LED Lights for my home. I have not bought from her yet because my renovation has not started but from my Google search, she is highly recommended because her lights are very cheap and very good.

I bought an office chair from Taobao before, and the seat kept getting depressed to its lowest position no matter how I adjusted it. Really poor QC.

wangwang - pls PM me your electrician contact. Thank you!

Pls PM me contact, thank you very much in advance.

Thanks sforshor for providing your contact for your LED downlight supplier . I called Gary and sadly, the quoted price is way beyond my budget and more than 2.5 times that of Yafen's , which is probably why so many people recommend Yafen. Many thanks anyway .

I would not recommend solid surface. My wife's parents used solid surface and it was easily scratched. It was filled with scratches after awhile.

I am also interested in granite polishing but all the shops told me that polishing granite is not cost effective as it is a very hard material and it would be cheaper purchasing new granite tiles.

The tiles that I chose for my bathroom are also homogenous light grey tiles with slate effects. I have no such problems with colour differences.

I bought my toilet bowl at $160. No installation though

Aiyoh, shops have to give commission to ID. My cousin is an ID and she told me that shops give her 30% commission.

Hi sforshor - Can PM me the contact for your LED downlight supplier? Does your supplier also sell other types of LED lights like T5, pendant and ceiling hamburger lights? I need LED lights for my whole house so I need various types of lights. So far, the cheapest LED lights that I found from my Google search thus far are from Yafen LED Lights located at Defu Lane. Her shop has a wide variety of LED lights from downlights to chandeliers to flood lights and they are much cheaper compared to other light shops. Quality wise should be okay since she has so many good reviews and no bad reviews online.
