    Mine was done by Mr Chew in 2008, when he was still not so busy with his biz.

    His choices for blinds were limited at that time.

    Yes, he left no mess after putting up the blinds, but I don't find its quality that fantastic, just average, nothing great to talk about.

    When I noticed that all the plastic blinds stopper were cracked, I told him abt it on the spot, he said he would come back again to replace all of them.

    But he never turned up. I expected it since biz was over & payment fully made. So I used super glue to seal up those cracks.

    My master bedroom will have morning sun for 6 mths & study room for next 6 mths, so I only pulled the blinds everyday for 6 mths in each room. After 4 yrs, they are still working fine, thanks God.

    My advice is, if your want cheap but ok stuff, go for him.

    1. isn't buying a hdb cheaper ? Sometimes renovation can make your inner house "condo-style"

    2. maybe they pass it to their children

    1. She already bought 1 HDB few years back. She plans to rent out the bigger HDB & stay in the SB.

    2. Maybe, or they can rent it out.

    End of the day, there are many singles in Sgp, & FT who came here alone for work.. there is still pretty strong demand for SB units... actually, if people can afford a big house, who would want to buy/rent a SB?

    I knew 2 people who bought SB.

    2. If not single (married) - why do they buy it ? What is their age like ?

    Married couple, for investment, >55yo.

    Hi all,

    Found a reliable plumber who charge reasonable. A freelance who takes job in plumbing, sanitary works & water heater installation.

    His name is Mr Chang & mobile no. is 9752-6120. Just changed my leaking water heater tap recently. As he did a good job, I told him I will help to advertise his service.

    Pls try him if you need a plumber. Thanks for reading :)

    Hi Yokine9a,

    I have the same thoughts as you!

    Can you provide the link about his lousy work?

    Regards

    Hi, sorry for my late reply. No, I didn't take any pic of his lousy work as I started my part-time study after I moved in. Have been quite busy with my course. If you have friends studying TCM, you will know how stressful it is. Maybe I should take some pics before I do a revamp reno work next year, sure want to remove whatever work done by HB. Now I feel pity for the granite kitchen top as the reno will definitely spoil it :(

    When I first used Patrick in early 2008 for my flat, I thought he was good as I read so many good posts about him in previous years. But I regretted deeply after using him.

    The workmanship was lousy, materials used were of low standard, management was very poor. I had to rang him several times in front of his workers as he did not give the right instructions to them. He even had the cheek to tell me not to ring him during weekend as that was his family time.

    I wrote about his lousy work in this forum in 2008 but I am surprised people still believe him. He might give you a very good first impression during house visit, but your nightmare would begin after the reno starts.

    Hi jaskel, really surprised that you sold your florida condo n moved to another house within such a short time.

    I went to your condo the last time you had open house, it was really nice, I thought you planned to stay there for a long time, hence, threw in a big sum for reno.

    Nevertheless, your current flat is also very nicely done up, great job mate :good:

    How is your dad? Hope he is doing well. I had a nice chat with him the last time I visited your place.

    Using just steam cleaner, your floor will be pretty wet, have to wait for it to dry before you can walk over it.

    You might also want to consider their steam vacuum cleaner, combines the job of steam cleaner & vacuum cleaner, excess water will be sucked back into the machine.

    At one time I was very tempted to buy one, but the bulky weight + high cost hold me back.

    thks yokine9a... i visited the website and they are having ther warehouse sales from 4 jul onwards... :)

    You are welcome, himouse :)

    I bought their Twist System last time I went to their shop... mop head is flat & bigger than my sponge mop... mopping time is reduced to half now... still have energy & time to read my books after doing the housework ;)

    Hi alan26, is that a MagicClean floor wiper? I am using that to wipe the floor b4 mopping... wrapping a cloth over it to do mopping work is a good idea, but got to use bare hand to drain off the water leh... also find the handler/arm too short, even though I am not tall at all :(

    Can you elaborate what u mean by tired after mopping, is the mop not strong enuf to remove the dirt? or u have a big house n need alot of energy to mop it? magic clean and your 3m mop is seemed to be the lightest mopping equipement available to me.

    Maybe if you can give more info, people might be able to help you.

    Hi, thanks for your advice... actually, I just want to find a shortest way to mop a house... cos I work full-time & study part-time now, don't even have time to sleep, how to find time to do housework? :(

    Anyway, for those who are interested to buy Leifheit products but find that Tangs & Taka are selling too expensive... I found the supplier of this brand... they do sell to walk-in customers... this is their website, www.hogarmas.com

    The price is much cheaper... open during warehouse sale or by appt only, ring them up before you go.

    Store room - the rack (left) is strong and still in good condition, maybe we will just keep it. ID said since there is a DB Box (right), the previous owner has already rewired when they moved in 7 years ago, so I can do without rewiring. Is it true?

    Yes. Electrical wiring can last for easily 30 yrs.
