any idea of non-practically for using cement floors in kitchen? i see my auntie house in MY whole house cement floor, looks ok, but of cos hers not a design purpose, so it was not really very smooth surface (some rough patches in the corners).

cement floor tend to be dusty even after the years.. i think this has been repeated a few times in some threads that it has to be treated properly.

I asked my contractor before, not necessary cos wire will not rot so just ask them to do a check on thw wiring and if works, dont need to re-wire cos its pretty ex

same as re-piping too

When the last time the house rewiring is done more than 15yrs, I feel rewiring is necessary. U can check to see any powerpoints in the house the surround have any burn marks or smell etc, these are just small sign of worn out electrical wiring. Of course there are devices in the market can check on the condition of the wiring too.

DB box changes(now more safety function), so is the colour code of electrical wires. Moreover now most no more using the white connector rather than using a 'male' and 'female' connector for lighting point(which new HDB flats u will see those hanging around connected with the new light point) :yamseng:
