  3. Indian PR (not racist) Oh! I understand what you mean by damage items. Damage item mean item that I had purchase. damage to my pocket
  4. Ask them 1. How many coat 2. How many colour 3. Include paint door frame and main door
  5. Permission.. don't think their dictionary has this word. They claim they pay rental so they had the right to stay until the last day. They even chain the main gate and refused to let us bring contractor to view and discuss abt the renovation. Which we did inform them during the 2nd appointment or before, that we might bring contractor to see the house. At the time, say.. okok.. just give us a call or SMS us. We SMS few time, they never return our SMS. When we bring the contractor up, they scold us right infront of the contractor, say they pay rental. We don't have the right to come to the house. and bang the main door.
  6. I use that before. Make sure you follow their instruction strictly. Eg. if they say press 30 sec. Double the time. Just on the safe side.

Then arrange another date and time, they will come down to collect those item that they had select. What we did last time. First round, try to sell away. Balance item We will call salvation army.

  8. ya lor. luckily we stay nearby, walking distance. Or else.. 10pm still had to rush down to look at the unit , check the condition. Their agent say they book a big lorry, who know come a small lorry. That's why need to round a few round. we were thinking, My problem ah? We already very good liao, let them stay for 3 mth after 2nd appointment.
  9. I didn't want to do transfer account. I don't want to have any dealing with them. The seller refused to talk to us directly, everything must thru' agent. We call and double check with the agent that they will shift out on 26 May. First say , will pass the key to us on noon. Then 6pm , then 8pm, then 10pm. They thrown the key inside the letter box and tell the agent to tell us. They will keep the letter box key. Keep lor keep lor. I intent to change the letter box key no matter what. But I would say, at least they clear the whole house. Didn't left any furniture behind.
  10. Thanks, I had better understanding on this. Renovation really has alot of things to learn and most of the thing is wait until thing happen. hahahahaha
  11. need 1 wk so long mah? I apply online on 25 May, 27 May power and water back liao very fast and easy.
  12. Call ur town council. Some Town Council provide 1st 5 item free remove. After which will charge 1 item $5
  13. can I say this is normal insulation. Not yet upgraded? If the indoor capacity is 9000 BTU X3 for system 3. Is this insulation good enough?
  14. sound good I bought a 40x40 cm @ $98 + 1 tap $29
  15. Would like to know anyone heard of Insulflex 5/8" ID X 1/4" TK 16X6? When ppl say upgrade insulation to 1/2" is refer to ID or TK?
  16. I just bought this design of basin. What is the size of the basin. May I know how much.
  17. I think so. Newspaper come out before. If i remember correctly, the husband is a pte ltd director but HDB don't realize his director fee as salary. Then the wife just work or sth like that Cannot remember the detail liao. Understand some property company don't allow agent to do moneylender. Will tio fire one.
  18. Now matta is watching them(Property agent cum money lender) very closely their interest very scary one lar. 20% +- List of money lenders http://www.minlaw.gov.sg/ipto/corporate/Do...oneyLenders.pdf
  19. Go to HDB web. Apply HLE There are no 10 yrs series on appeal successfully for a hdb loan Correct. Eg. After deposit , the balance loan is 400k and HLE only can provide 300k You need to pray hard and super hard to tio ToTo Group 1 to pay off the shortage of 100k CASH U didn't do your sum and go and apply BTO. Later , 'touch wood' cannot get the loan, how? Few yrs back got a couple go and apply BTO and borrow $$ to pay of the deposit , I think is $30k. Then HDB Loan cannot loan the amount they want and they had not enough cash to cover the shortage. Then LL, $30k fly away
  20. When we went to view a flat, before we place our deposit. we ask is all the key(door, window, room) there. They reply yes After 2nd appointment, they pass us the key and we went up to the unit to try out all the key. Then they tell us, the window grill at masterbed room, 1 common room and kitchen. No key b'coz the lock already spoil. Basically the latch is missing. Not even can latch the window. They use cable to tied the window to prevent their kid for falling. We like.. ok.. LL Then next, room door lock. Yep, got key but.. forget it, we decide to change the whole door. Cannot keep at all. Their kid is artist, like drawing alot. Sigh.. purchase list getting longer and longer Now, kitchen cabinet. After we hack down the existing kitchen cabinet. The tile is not tile all the way up to ceiling. Previous owner save cost. Only tiles those expose area and they build the top cabinet very low. sigh.. don't know what to do now except ask our contractor to look for similar or close tiles. Resale unit is like that. You cannot expect seller so "lao shi" tell you all the things. See open See open Think positive. As long , don't have ah long. Very good liao 祖宗保估
  21. imagine, knocking a hole on the wall to run the pipe, trucking from 1 room to another room. If you had build-in feature like wardrobe, how? Their trucking is thicker than normal wiring trucking.
  22. Anyone know what is the different between a FULL LED TV and a LED TV. Nowsaday so many term of TV, we so confused.
  23. i ask my contractor. He say my window grill type can change. I ask him to change for us as we had a hard time to understand which is right, which is left
  24. Did you see any Pipes/trunking, electrical wires? If not, mean all these are conceal in the wall. You want to relocate aircon. Those pipes/trunking, electrical wires no need to shift ar? Not everything is wireless.
