Just & Jo,

Best time to drop by is Sat morning. Can you PM me your number, i checked and i don't have your number.

And let me know the outcome of the grout.

The service centre refused to re-do the grout for me, told me they only do once only as i had asked them to fix it previously. I'm too lazy to argue with them, so i will just leave the grout as it is ... it's not that bad, just that as it is a new house you want it to be the best. I guess if there is a need in future, i just clean the grout myself.

Hi Ryan,

I have tried cleaning the grouts with the following:

1. Magic Sponge w water
2. MRS MCKENIC - Tile & Grout Wonder
3. MRS MCKENIC - Floor Wonder
4. Zippo
5. Jif
6. Bleach (Have not tried yet)
7. Scrapping the grout with hard object

And nothing comes close to No.7.... Haha

I will check the outcome again on Sat once its completely dry.

Guess we will have to scrape off the stained grouts and apply the sealer..

Hi Val, Khy, Kevin

Nice and fruitful session just now..

Guess we now know more about the good and bad stuffs happening around the neighborhood and what habits they have during free times....LOL

 

[rumi78]

Hi folks,
How many of you have a city gas dryer mounted or placed directly above your frontload washer?

The problem with my kitchen layout is if I were to put the dryer on top of the washer, one of my kitchen windows will be blocked. Since that window that will be blocked is a casement window which opens to the left, it will be hard for me to reach to close it once I open it. So maybe I have to keep that window permanently closed. But not sure if that affects the citygas dryer operation as I think it requires some ventiliation?

So wondering if anyone place the washer and dryer side by side and having them placed below the kitchen table top? i.e. The dryer and front load washer is below the kitchen table top and are beside each other.

inputs pls. thanks.

[spotkev]

welcome jessie n sharemoments

sharemoments
understand there are many disappointed ones who could choose an unit, too many applicants

 

[spotkev]

angie
u're not alone
u've us leh

 

[spotkev]

Xesthir
Have my gas dryer mounted above frontload
Yup, u need to open the kitchen window to give ventilation when dryer’s in operation
I presume u wont be hanging ur clothes OUT to dry, so maybe u can keep that window close (permanently), with the other casement opened for ventilation.
If u have ample space in ur kitchen, can place them side-by-side below table top, but that seems to deprive u of cabinet/drawer space leh

 

[henrywoo1978]

Kevin,

So far does the dryer shrink the clothes? Well have been looking around for dryers (including this from city gas), still deciding which one to get.

Cheers.

 

[beachgirlz]

hi just.. yea nice session last nite.. great to meet u all

catch up again another time.. more chances when all moved in

 

[beachgirlz]

hi jessie n sharemoments.. welcome. so are u all doing reno now/soon?

 

[spotkev]

Henry
Nope, doesn’t shrink my clothes ah
Surprising, it’s a gd odour-remover leh, I found out
After washing socks, dry them with it, in no time (~10min) perfectly dried and odourless
Importantly, no weird smell left behind in dryer
3 reasons for recommending the gas dryer
a) dry clothes faster than electricity-run dryer
b) lower gas tariff meaning cheaper in long run
c) easy-to-use control panel

shortcoming too
a) need to run gas pipe to it

 

[rumi78]

Kevin,
after u used the dryer, does the bed sheets and clothes become very crumpled?

 

[spotkev]

some blks are quite dominant oh

[spotkev]

Actually nope leh, xesthir
My frontload crumbles my clothes after washing
The dryer de-crumbles it
There’s a function to generate cool air into the dryer after drying it to soften ur fabric

 

[apricotbrandy]

Hi Valerie! =)
Nope, I haven't got my keys yet. Getting very kan chiong & I kept bugging my bf to check his mailbox for letter. hahaha

 

[spotkev]

Jessie
When’s ur 1st/2nd appt?

 

[beachgirlz]

hi jessie

yup initial process is veri kan chiong and exciting

urs is executive flat?

 

[apricotbrandy]

Kevin - my 1st appt was 27 April. HLE already approved. now waiting for AHG approval & the 2nd appt letter. hehe =)

Valerie - Yupz, mine's exec. =)

 

[beachgirlz]

hi jessie.. exec must be veri nice

got extra balconies and bay windows right? so hv u chosen ID already?

 

[apricotbrandy]

Hmm... only got 1 extra study room. Got a small balcony.
My bf got his contact to do a simple planning for us. still considering.

 

[baby_whyme]

kevin.. ooh, i wanted the curtains to cover it initially but that would mean i can't mount some shelves there.

val, yea.. cos that is supposed my "bedside table" area but i dun wan a bedside table.. so we got some shelves to mount on ourselves but forgot totally abt the ugly squarish a/c board!

 

[spotkev]

almost wanna get an exec too, bigger at ~130sq metre, more space

however this estate only has 4 & 5-room units

did not apply for it (during the jul 07) balloting till 5min before the application window closed at midnight!

 

[spotkev]

whyme
i see, but u muz note that more shelves in mbr means more surface area for dust-collection. quite jialat, the dust prob in JW, need to wipe and maintain often or else u can easily find a thick layer of dust accumulated in ur mbr in a week

 

[rumi78]

I will be hiding that squarish box with a custom made dressing table that is extended from a custom made wall shelf to put my lcd tv and dvd player in the mbr.

 

[baby_whyme]

kevin..yea, i certainly agree!
been staying in JW for the past 8 years and almost every 3-5 days, got to wipe surfaces which are black in color..cos the dust is quite noticeable! haha..

hmmm.. anyone can help with my squarish box prob? im only thinking of painting the whole area the same color as my walls to hide that area.. but im not sure if anything can be mounted there since the surface is not exactly flat, and it's not a wall right? sigh.

 

[apricotbrandy]

Kevin - Exec big is good lah. But in fact only 2 person living inside. So it's actually too big for both of us. haha. I'm getting headache just thinking of how to clean up. keke

 

[spotkev]

jessie
big ah, then quickly plan to have some babies la, will fill ur home with joy and laughter soon

 

[apricotbrandy]

Wahaha.... cannot so rush lah

 

[baby_ayumihotmailcom]

[spotkev]
