    Why the need to be so calculative? Your tenants are all adults, just tell them to be responsible users. You can also set a limit, i.e. based on last 6 months (no tenant), median electricity bill is $x. They pay you a fixed sum for electricity (i.e. $x + $100). If the bill exceeds $x+$100 then they pay the difference. That way, they can use aircond all they like, just pay the diff.

    I find it quite patronizing to tell another adult you can use aircond from 10pm to 6am. Use what you like just pay lor

    Yeap did the same. There's a fixed sum for the electricity bill and if anything exceeds the tenant has to pay the difference.

    If you are single and have saved up quite a bit, go for it cause you only live once. ?

    Or you can join some volunteer groups so while you can feed yourself, you still find purpose in life if you can't find it at work.

    I was planning to build some simple wooden racks for my store room. Asked for few quotations and all are more than $400+. I just wanted to have simple four level U shape racks for all the three walls, except the door wall.

    So finally decided to DIY. First question was, where to buy woods, the major material... here are my discoveries that may help fellow DIYer

    IKEA - Tampines has different sizes and different materials. Prices ranges from $19 to $59 per planks. It appeared very expensive to me.

    Defu Avenue 1 - There are many carpentry shops, at the middle of Avenue 1. They can customise your requirements. Prices are reasonable, much cheaper than IKEA.

    Sungei Kadut - The carpentry shops just opposite to Novina show room. Can customise as per your requirement and can arrange transport to your home at a nominal cost ($20). For me, it was the cheapest, I purchased all my required woods from them for my store room rack at $160 including transport to my house.

    Hope this info helps all those who are looking forward to purchase timber/wood.

    Just to add, I purchased the other tools, including a B&D drill($69), additional Bits($20), Saw, Chisel, File, level, T, hammer and other tools, all with in $140.

    Thanks for the info! Gave me some ideas on where to source for wood!

    Whenever you are travelling, do remember to keep your toilet doors open as well as your bedroom doors. You can try placing dehumidifier inside your bathroom while you are gone too to help absorb the moisture in the air. Just remember to keep the lids of your toilet bowl closed so that it won't breed mosquitoes.
