Hi Applie

Can take photos in their shop?

They wont scold you for doing that?

How about IMM shops, I saw a few a want, but dare not take any photos.

HAPPY

Ask 1st before taking . Unless , you want to cut a hole in a paperbag or worst your own bag and put your camera in it , lol :sport-smiley-018:

hi appie, find that the tap for your common bathroom basin suits the MBR basin more and vice versa

dunno, it's kinda personal i guess :D

Hmm... appie... I think your intended MBR tap is too short for your glass basin. Better recfm with the sales ppl b4 u buy.

hi h4happy

IMM shops I'm not too sure, but i take pix openly there, and I did overheard staff telling customer to take photo :rofl: so don't think there is any problem, we spent 2hours there and not 1 staff bother us :(

hi hi applefreak, i think so too, after looking at the pix, maybe i'll go there tmr again :rofl: in my mind, I'm looking for something cheap and good, don't intend to invest so much for a tap, but i'm sold to glass basin :P

if u happened to read my T-blog, my crazy hubby insisted to get kitchen tap cost 200over!!! 8|

Hmm... appie... I think your intended MBR tap is too short for your glass basin. Better recfm with the sales ppl b4 u buy.

hello.. butterflykisses :)

did check with them, got extension, cost around 50bucks.

Edited by appie

this is your t-blog right? !!

find that $200 for a good tap is worth it coz kitchen tap will be used day in day out

if cheap ones may not last and might be awkward to use :notti:

HELP NEEDED!!!!

hmmm.. how should I start?? I'm facing 2 problems now..

Problem 1

Before hacking our 2toilets and kitchen, my ID edwin, went to my lower floor neighbour, to inform abt hacking and at same time take pix of their kitchen and toilets as proof but no one in, so he slipped his namecard under door. same nite, owner called, screaming at my ID, said our renov workers borrowed their bricks and never returned, threaten to complain to HDB. Edwin made a trip down to their unit, trying to solve the issue. but owner refused to open the door. and for 2 days he called Edwin, just keep saying wanted to complain to HDB abt the stolen bricks. and ofcos, he refused to let Edwin in to take photographs.

Problem 2

Tody hub went up and found long floor crack in 1 of our room. No hacking was done in our living or bedrooms. Intend to have our room floor laminated.

Questions

1. Do we need to inform HDB about the floor cracks? or can we just laminate our floor?

2. Can we get HDB to assist us to our lower floor neighbour house to take a look?

Thanks alot
