Welcome and have fun in renotalk. :)

thnx Mickey M, saw your t-blog few week back. Your theme is very interesting. Maybe next time, if I am daring enough, I'll do a bleach/naruto (anime) theme for my home. But dont think I can import katana into sg, else will end up in jail :rolleyes:

wanted to do it for my study room though, but CFO rejected :(

Actually a few yrs back, I remembered I saw a home featured in the magazine with manga theme. It was a very well-done design. Ha.

U don't need to import actually. I saw exact replica of weapons used in Naruto selling at the toy shop at Plaza Sg, Suntec, etc. :)

I believe quite a number of us are using Hafary tiles and I don't see many complaints (if any) at all though.

kitchen cabinet (problem 1)

Design not to my liking, going to replace everything with granite countertop.

As u can see it looks brand new & stainless steel ... so heart ache to throw away. Other than selling to kalang guni. Any lobang to sell at better price ? most ID I talked to, said cannot reused. Going to post a wts thread in renotalk, wish me luck !!

wow kungfu, stainless steel counter tops! hard to find in HDB! wat a waste its not to your liking. it really does look brand new..you could try contacting used stainless steel dealers. not sure what sort of price they'd give you but i bet the previous owner must have really shelled out alot on this...

yup ... still sourcing for someone to buy them at least the top, so much stuff to do. Visit GR link, Lite Fusion and had further discussion with my tobe IDs on quotation., result promising, a bit exceed budget. Will close the deal this week. All IDs quite approachable & easy to talk to.

Hi

If I wanna to setup rain shower (MBR) & normal shower for common bathroom, between citygas storage heater and joven 25l electric storage heat which one is better ? GR link's friendly uncle told me not much different, the only thing I wanna to worry is whether the water pressure is good for my unit. Btw, I am at the top floor, so he said top has the lowest pressure.

can anyone advise ?

If you use citygas storage heater, you must be prepared for additional gas piping around the house to accomodate it. Check fftw regarding this.

hi

some minor update while counting down my reno to start around mid may.

Problem 2, existing owner agent reluctant to seek owner help to allow my ID to apply for HDB permit (normally takes 3 days to approve) in advance, so that my reno can start immediately on keys handover day. btw, her agent a bit attitude & very fishy, anyway getting my agent to push them again. :bangwall:

btw, I had signed up with an ID last monday and awaiting 3D design next week. Will reserve my reno comment until end of my reno. est reno cost $29k
