SHucks.. Man U 6 pts cleared.. .Hopefully Arsenal will win as well to close up the gap..

Hi Zincy, I'm also combining my MBR and BR2. Initially we wanted to get a sys 4 for all the rooms and living room, however, the technicians from Naturalcool advised us to install a sys 3 instead. Meaning 1 big aircon(18VA) for the living and another big 1(18VA) for the combined mbr & BR2, the smaller one(10VA) of course will go to BR3. According to them, its more efficient. Most likely will get the latest model of starmex inverter with this combination : MXY-3A28VA / MSXY-GA10VA / 2 X MSXY-GD18VA

Hi Sarah, I totally sympathize with your current situation. Like all firms, there's bound to be black sheeps among them. I had a total different experience altogether compared to your ID though both came from the same company. She is very patient and gives us plenty of suggestions and proposals till we are satisfied. She even drive us for tile selection etc and did not rush us though we spent many hours yet can't decide on the colours and design. Till now, we are still satisfied with her work.. Perhaps you can demand to change to another ID from the company. See whether he/she can propose something that fits your budget or at least willing to listen and give better proposals. I'm totally aggrieved by the service provided by your current ID. If I were you, I will definitely complain about him to the company and demand for an explanation on the poor service!! Good luck!!

Thanks for the reply. Yup, after much thought, think its better to leave it as it is in case problem arises in the future.

Hi Home Lovers, My tiling works for my living room is almost done. However, I notice the gaps between every tile is bigger than that of my neighbor's.. When I highlighted this to my ID, she mentioned that the spacing is actually an allowance for the tiles to expand and contract. She also mentioned that tiles that are too closely spaced will most likely face problems in the future based on her experience. I did some research on my own and what she said did have some truth. Any comments? Btw, good thing is she said she will redo all the tiling works if i insist. Hence now pondering whether to do it anot? !! !!

I got my tiles from Hafary(balestier) too. Good service!

Mine is $700 excluding bedrooms as my bedrooms are doing laminates. Think depends on the contractor the town council hires..

imho, different credit cards serve different purposes. Citibank dividend card is best for petrol followed by expenditure on food at 5% and 2% rebate respectively.

Hi, so in the end did you get the karaoke processor? also quite curious what and which kind of HTS can support ktv functions? Cheers

Hi Sarah, I too think that hacking works for $1.1k is quite ex(never hack b4 just my personal opinion). You may want to request for another designer in Cisxxrn to requote you with your comfortable price. Sometimes its the designer who is the blacksheep.. but honestly speaking, this company is one of those "branded" and reputable ones hence charges will definitely be on the higher side. Can't compare with contractors pricing. Anyway, worse come to worse top up and get them to do up carpentry like wardrobe or cabinets instead of just hacking works. Must more worthwhile imho. Cheers

Hi ahjane, This is normally settled by your ID or contactors workers. P.E is just a certification to confirm that the wall can be hacked thats all. The hacking and patching should be done by ur ID. But this lobang is really good, my ID earlier quoted me $700 for PE..Look at the savings.. Power of forum is Many thanks agin to oh oh for the lobang again. My ID will be contacting him. Cheers

any comments on the below HTS?

Hi chrispy and pros in HTS, I'm urgently looking for a decent HTS for my new home. The L-Box and false ceiling will be up soon so need to decide on the HTS soon. My wife is quite keen on the Bose lifestyle 18 SIII. Being the entry level for the HTS with 5.1 speakers, price is already $3599. We did test out the system and find that its really good. It even comes with this new technology called the adaptiq where the sound will customise itself in any room. (pretty impressed) however, price is quite steep and i'm also wondering whether i can get similar effect with cheaper price at adelphi KEC. Being a noob in HTS, need advise from the pros. wat are the standard setup of a HTS, amplifier, av receiver, speakers, woofers?? really know nuts.. If possible, please also let me know the pricing of any recommended setup. Thanks in advance

Hi Mrs Png, I hope the effect will turn out nice.. think i'm one of the few who spent so much on reno.. Hope i didnt get "carrot head".. my wife quite fussy hence almost all the furnitures are custom made. Some of the more expensive items excluding kitchen cabinets are : - full ht shoe cabinet w feature wall (10ft), - living room tv featurewall and cabinet, -display cabinets, -WIW (pole system). -overlay mbr toilet wall/flr tiles, -raised platform at study, - full ht tv feature wall/cabinet @ mbr, - cushion seettee w storage @ mbr, - shelvings @ study, - full ht dresser cabinet. If you are wondering why our mbr is so big, we intend to hack the walls and combine bedrm2 with mbr. will have many lighting pts too and estimated cost for electrical works - 2.5k - 3k... Hope there will be no more adjustments as my wife chosen a blink blink border for the toilet wall tiles and this involve additional cost.. sure no prob, will invite neighbors to have a look once its done up.. Think works will start this week. excited..

Hi Ptro, so did u get anything for the fair? I gotten the 40" F80 series Full HD LCD Samsung Tv. Think its a good deal. !! ANyway, i'm ur neighbor from Blk 79B but staying on low floor. Think by the time u completed ur reno I have yet to start mine.

Hi Liana79b, did yu went down to your unit today? I think I know where your unit is? near the lift lobby? !! went down with my wife today to see our IZD and electrician to confirm the points to add and shift. Saw some other 6 flr neighbours also starting work soon. Think there;s one 5 room neigbour already moved in..

Wow great!! Thanks for the lobang and info oh oh. Really very much appreciated. Thanks for sharing Darren. Think I will get this recommended PE then

Liana79B, how much are u charged for the PE fees? wow u are really fast, already started work.. Think I got my keys earlier than u but I'm still discussing some details with my ID and yet to confirm my final layout. But I will start real soon

Thanks oh oh. Did you source for this PE or is it recommended by your ID? Thanks for the lobang. Wondering does the price differ based on the surface area of walls to be hacked or wat? Will appreciate any other lobangs too for comparison.

My ID told me its in that kind of range. She havent't source for me yet. Told her i will source myself too for cheaper rates.

Help needed to look for cheap lobang for PE. ID's quote is $500 -$800. Hoping to find cheaper ones. Will be hacking 2 walls. Thanks !!

anyone with any lobang?? !!

Dear neighbors, any lobang for PE? I have 2 sides of walls that needs hackings. Think any PE will do as long as its cheap cos basically wat they do is to approve only...

Can I add on a further question also related to Dong Tu? Should we be looking at the dates auspicious for me and my spouse according to our Bazi or looking at the general chinese calender for dates suitable for dongtu. eg 宜 - 动土。 If its based on our bazi eg 1 mar very auspicious for us, but according to chinese calender is eg 忌- 动土。 can we still choose this date? Please advise. Thanks in advance. sorry, manage to find a similiar question in the forum and it said priority goes to the date which is best for both Bazi. Please correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks
