d'lotus 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2010 Today I talked to the technical officer from hdb or town council ... he said cannot change to top hung window. When I asked him why ... he said "people will throw rubbish out of window and break the glass" ... DUH! How to get rid of these 3rd world mentality people from Singapore? It is so simple for the officer to state the obvious... but what is done to reduce this menace? I can guarantee you most of these people are OLD people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidbslee 1 Report post Posted August 6, 2010 28k for overhauling whole flat in current renovation market is consider reasonable. I have did some hacking of wall and building wall if not it will be more cheaper. Anyway, my wife and I also feel that 28K is reasonable enough for a total full overhauling of the flat.
