Haha... can't keep hogging ur t-blog mah... I will post after reno pictures tmw.... imageshack very busy now... can't host pictures. Wait till u see how we transform the place.... it was really quite a dump when we got it.

u finally start ur own t-blog :)

These a couple of my during reno pictures...including the shifting of my common bedroom wall to enlarge my living room. Sorry, didn't take a lot of pictures... was more worried about my reno than taking photos.

Reno started officially on 3 Jan 2008...

Haha.... ok... here's the picture of my broken wall....

dsc00166di9.th.jpg

I was originally so irritated by the narrow living room that I had. I wanted a big living space. But when I looked at the drawings (after signing the papers leow!), I saw that it was possible to shift the wall.... making a relatively large common room into a smaller one... either for single bed or as a study.

Very very well.

It has auto dry sensor that will stop when the load is dry..... but when you don't collect the clothes, it will continue to heat it ocassionally so that the clothing remains fluffy. The estimated time indicator helps as well. My wife is very pleased with the investment. :good:

guess that'll be my next aim when my dryer die on me

which i think will be another 3yrs :good:

My dryer is brand new....can't be sure it will continue to work as well down the road.

My old electric dryer gets weaker and weaker every year. It used to take 1hour plus to dry a full load.... then 1.5hours ....and finally after 4 years.... almost 2 hours to dry the same load. Sigh.

guess that'll be my next aim when my dryer die on me

which i think will be another 3yrs :bleah:

hmm mine is still working fine after 3yrs

same time taken, no sign of weakening though can't say it won't suddenly die on me :bow:

hihi max ,

congrats for your new house :dribble: :dribble:

There's a picture above with my washer and dryer next to the sink area. Mine is a gas dryer... only one place sells this.....Citygas. It is Rinnai brand from Japan.

They are selling at $600 with some dining vouchers...dono whether promotion still on or not.

However... last year from Nov 07 for about 2months till 17 Jan 08.... they have 5 sets per week selling at $399. hehe... I am the cheapo one that went to queue up on early morning monday (beginning of the week ) to buy. I was successful only on 2nd try. What to do?... poor people like me have to think of means and ways to save money. :notti:

Yes.... mine's a Shih Tzu as well.... coming to 4 years old leow. My little darling girl! She loves humans.... but afraid of all dogs. Think when she was young, she got scared when a golden retriever wanted to play with her.... never recovered from the trama since...sigh.
