I had pretty good success against lizards (only one encounter in the few years 'cause I forgot to close the windows that time). What I did : a. put rubber seal on all gaps below the doors b. open windows and doors only when people are present (especially kitchen windows/doors). Once I'm done...

My apartment is 3 years old and so far only one stray lizard after 2.5 yrs. Also killed one mosquito in three years. Hope to share my research/observation on pest prevention. My previous apartment was invaded by pests (lizards, mosquitos) which created a lot of frustrations which leads me to a...

Another reason to reconsider. Most parents want to keep their children away from convenient stores, not closer. Convenient stores to children are like honey to bees. Keeping our kids away from the vending machines are already difficult enough. Having a convenient store will make life more...

Please seriously re-think about having a "convenience store". People will buy food and eat everywhere, they will drop the food, ice-cream, sweets, etc all over the place, near the pool. There will be inconsiderate people that will throw trash on the floor, beside the pool, leave their coke cans...

Hairline cracks are caused by the walls' cement expansion and contraction due to weather/temperature. It happened everywhere, condo, hdb, etc. Even wood can expand and contract. These are normal wear and tear and requires maintenance. Most of these cracks are vertical. Paint in horizontal...

Agree with Limay. Please don't throw any litter at lift landing or even outside lift. Please walk to central bin to throw your rubbish. Sight of rubbish will only devalue the image of our place and in turn devalue our property.

Our bathroom door seems to be more vulnerable to mould than the bedroom doors(probably due to wet hands), especially around the door knobs. The bathroom door started to mould 6 months after we moved in. We had to re-laquer it. Less than a year later, the mould showed up again. Have to re-laquer...

Hi Merci, I accidentally spilled some orange juice long time ago. I managed to suck the orange juice out. So now, if I look at the spot from 90-degrees top-down, I can't see any color stain. However, if I look at the same spot from a 45-degrees angle against the sunlight, I can see the spot...

Merci, May I know how do you apply the resin floor protection?

Kind of given up on the marble floor spills (just like my master rm bathroom floor). Once, accidentally spilled some ink, I used a wet sponge and manged to suck some ink back out. But there are a lot of permanent marks that can't be removed. Does anyone know if there is anyway to laminate the...

Get a scrapper. You can get these as well as the silicon at any hardware/DIY store. My preference is to purchase them at the neighbour store than the DIY stores at the mall 'cause they are usually cheaper. I would use the scrapper to remove dirty silicon. Apply new silicon and use my finger...

sept03, Had that problem too. Had to remove it and redo the silicon. Guess it part and parcel of house maintenance, just like dismantling the basin every few months and removing the hair stucked so that used water can flow can smoothly. Don't like to do it but have to.

Hi ryue, Main con don't care. They just ask you to refer to warranty.

Hi, Anyone with air-con leaking problem? Recently, the aircon in my master bedroom has been leaking. I think it's due to condensation. Also, anyone already got a servicing package? If yes, how was service? Thanks.

Hi kyosho1, I have seen one of those screwdrivers-looking device that if you pin it against the wall it can detect whether there is a live wire hidden behind the wall. Maybe you can check it out at electrical/hardware shop. *Disclaimer I have never used them, only seen them. Not sure...

Hi, Anyone found solution to the long-term problems yet? a. Master bdrm shower : floor has almost turn grey due to constant water. How to remove? I don't mind if the grey is even but it's not. Patches of areas outside the shower screen is also beginning to turn grey. b. How to lower...

A few minor points here that I think PG can be improved. a. Wooden handles in lifts - Recently, main con polished them but since they are made of soft wood, they will be scratched again in no time (Already got some scratches). Why not changed to aluminium handles. In the long run, we might...

ahbeng, I am still struggling with the same old issue. The heater that we have is designed for cold climate. Once you turn past the triggering point, large amount of hot water gushes in. Since our tap water is only room temp, the mixed water becomes very hot even though I set it to only...

I am also experiencing slow water flow from the tap in my kitchen basin. It was much faster when I first moved in. Is it what you guys are experiencing? If yes, what can I do?

Anyone here have newspaper delivery service? If yes, can you provide me with the phone number? Thanks.
