Kara, I will PM you on the contacts. I do not want the salesperson to get scolded for selling so cheap, spoiling the market. But the price was really low. Must go down bargain one.

The aircon is actually at the other side.

I had the trunking link to my Bedroom 2 which then link to the toilet. Quite well hidden suggested by the aircon guy!
