312079,

can your unit see the Singapore flyer?

I wanted to choose blk B initially cos' it is nearer to the interchange.

but eventually fated, all the units in blk B which I wanted go "out of stock"

by the time it is my turn.

I chose my unit based on North South direction, not near rubbish chute, not near carpark(if not can hear the beep beep sound when people park or find car)

actually, my unit though NS still have sunlight coming in the afternoon but it is shining in the hanging clothes area and the small window in the living room.

but cant see Million dollar view loh.

Hello everyone,

Shivan,

Many Tks for showing me ur hse tdy. U certainly did lotsa carpentry, must look awesome when all done up!!

I like tat glass-hse area/study too : )

Oh.. & do tell/sms me cost of yr kitchen door when ur not so bz later, can? Tks!

Hi Dracula,

Duro has the same lock with 2 front/back-facing keyholes also... cost slightly more than Castle... but for Duro you need to self-install... Castle Lock uncle will come fix up for you...

I think that shoe repair shop (with a Harley parked infront) next to the 177 furniture shop is selling Duro Locks... but u may want to check out the price from HomeFix or Self-Fix first. Duro should cost about $20+ more than Castle. Think now got promo, buy 1 get 1 free at $140.

The 1 for 1 lock at $148 is over.. (checked with Homefix)

Now the promo is a free water distiller..

If not taking the free gift package the lock itself is $128.. same price

as Castle lock.

my PE cost $400. find by myself.

ID want to quote $700. : 6

My ID also quoted ard $600-$700+

I found mine at $300.

Some say cheapest in sg.

Grandfather story time, read at ur own discretion ->

- wat fellow neighbours meant is e white colour casing with a big square button with a doorbell imprint.

- dis doorbell button is located outside e unit.

- all e electrical switches & switch socket outlets of e 79 units r of a well-known brand.

- i think is MK brand, very slim & nice. Dats y kana aimed.

- dis casing is only e top casing. If use on non-conceal wiring, a bottom casing (backside) is needed.

- some P.E. charge a fixed amount for their professional endorsement for hacking works.

- regardless of e amount of hacking works proposed, it is still dat amount.

- e common fixed rate is abt $350.

- some P.E. charge a rate base on e amount of hacking works.

- some ID/contractor make a small profit frm here while some do not.

- depends on e e amount of hacking works proposed, floor plan & isometric drawings with annotation & dimension indicating e affected wall or walls r being worked out.

- e P.E. gota endorse on dis drawings. (Professional Engineer registered in Sg chop)

- e hdb licensed ID/contractor wil then e-submit.

- application process takes abt 2wks frm e e-submited date.

- notification of hacking permit application results is via SMS 2 e license holder.

- by rite e P.E. needs 2b present 2 oversees e hacking process.

- basically, no hacking works r allow b4 hacking permit is approve by e authority.

- if hack b4 application is being approved, & found out by e authority, e ID/contractor license wld b suspended or revoked & fined.

- other works not related or affected by hacking works, can stil go ahead.

Hi Meowie,

Shivan visited my hse tdy & missus mentioned my neigh's missing doorbell. I said kena stolen... she asked if it's only lower floors (easier access to thieves) which are affected.

I recall now tat when my hubby 1st reported our missing db to Bldg Service Ctr a couple of mths ago, they say many hses kena stolen, can't control theft... if want one, may report as faulty & wait for replacemt. We were surprised but too busy to bother till our recent final stage reno.

TV splitter - I was@ new hse tdy but unlike all our contractors who know how to use card2-open method, I reckon I wil bring key & check nxt time I go there.. hope not stolen as well

Tis a busy mth but when I got time, oso too lazy to pack@ current hse. Maybe wait till after final touch up : )

We stil lookin4 shoe cabinet (tho we cud settle for a standard elegant dark1/ glossy white & (chosen) color laminate type). Checked on wine chillers tdy but din buy.. got two brands, 12 vs 15 botts.

Cheers,

how does a TV splitter look like?

and where is it located?

Beats me.

As I told Meowie, dunno where it's located. Jus gonna luk4 any jut out wires/'skeletal like' device (pretty much like skeletal/ frameless.. doorbell, post theft). If nothin's amiss, wil ask Meowie (haha, paise) or my contractor to confirm If smthg amiss, add to Meowie's "bear paw" curse!
