Kevin,
I understand where you are coming from but actually I am voicing out out of concern for the safty for the resideents, cause you just imagine someone is to walk in the path of the falling object!!! And further more, that object is HOT!!! I really cannot believe that this kind of thing can happen!! Not even in my parents house!!!
Hmmm...

anyone here managed to ask HDB to change your toilet bowl?
A friend from YS area said that he asked for a change, even though there was no defect for the toilet bowl..haha!

it's not always good to get HDB to change everything, sometimes it may get worst instead of good. I experienced that with the floor grout, instead of making it looks better, they come back and make a sloppy work of it, and the worst they refused to come back to re-do it.

Well my opinion is that if there is really a need to rectify the problem, then just go ahead, cause at the end of the day, the owner should not just go through the defect list itself, but the whole house to make sure there is no missed out defects or like what Just said, you will get more defects alone the way.
This is the very reason why my house took 2 months (even though the Ah Xiang and gang are very prompt to rectify the problems).
Cheers

I got HDB to fix the main door cos the top and bottom are not vertically straight. They came and fix, while it is now straight, the door cannot be shut firmly and is shaky when you push it. This is because they re-position the lock and the lock-hole badly and wrongly, instead i think they should repositioned the door hinges. Sloppy work or not very qualified workers.
It is fixed now but not completely.
I ask them to fix the skirting and they scratched the parquet...how nice... anyway i got the whole floor regrind so okay.
So don't ask them to fix every slightest defects, worst when there is no defects.. H aha you may get more headache.

hi plasterbride,
i have a contact for curtains and blinds, find that they are good in service and they brought along a wide range of fabric for me to choose on the spot and they will give their professional advice on the colours and material, the price is reasonable as well as I have all the bedrooms roman blinds and the living room with normal curtain at ard 1.1k

If you're on budget, you can try S & C Furniture at Ang Mo Kio. The service is good. Their shop is small but they have wide range of catalogue. I've bought sofa, dining set and mattress. I can't tell you the quality as the items are not yet delivered but this shop is recommended by fellow forumers.

Dear all,
nice to finally say hi to you guys in the forum. I am Angie's husband and has been reading the forum posts all this while
In addition, I have met some of you in real life. Just thought that I should create an account for myself so that I can also join in the discussion.
Corrine - I think a good place to start to look for furniture in Sungei Kadut is the International Furniture Centre, 62 Sungei Kadut Loop, Singapore 729507.
The link is: http://www.ifcsingapore.com/
Like Ryan said there is alot of furniture retailers in Sungei Kadut so you can just drive around the place. Some other furniture places are:
1) Novena furniture, 47 Sungei Kadut Avenue
Singapore 729670.
2) Wihardja, 32 Sungei Kadut Way, Singapore 728787
I hope this helps.

haha, just curious, mr lai is very good is it? cos i keep reading that alot of u are using mr lai for shelving.. Does he do other renovation stuff? =)
6441 7809，mr lai
mr lai is just a metal shelving vendor, no other stuff. believe i was one of the earliest who got him to come in to put up the shelving, and shared his contact in the forum.
others started to engaged him and shared the contact too. so became affectionately known here as our mr lai.

just got mr tan & his sidekick to come to my hse to repair the metal gate lower latch, spoilt, and couldnt lift the pin (into the floor) hence metal couldnt be opened fully.
what luck, besides defects checked before reno, things also just become faulty for no reason. cant be wear & tear since no one will lock and unlock the latch frequently

Ryan,
U doing L-shaped shelving for the bomb shelter? How much is your shelving?
To all,
Just wanna check if anyone have spiders seen at your house? Of coz, spider is rather a common thing..but I have seen quite a no. of them at my place. So, just wanna see if it happens to most people staying around the area or only I have the problem. Coz I'm thinking is it becoz the place is left vacant for a period of time since after it has been built and hence the got the spider problem.

yup, mr tan fr bsc
he remembers exactly where i stay when i identified mysf, so u better ensure he doesnt go to the wrong unit loh, haha
the worker took abt 15min to repair the latch
weird that it just became faulty, esp we dun touch it at all except when there were deliveries during reno.

Hi Kevin, thanks for the info. I also found the long legs spiders around my house. Asking this qn now is because having some problem with my contrator on the partition wall and they claim because my house is dirty. Even can see spider but me and my hubby clean the house every week. So how dirty can the place be? Anyway, long story. Thanks for the reply ya.

we have to live with the fact that being at JW and with a busy road ave 4 near us, dust tends to accummulate easily
been staying for mths, do my wkend cleaning regularly, but still dusty. my housewife-neighbour claimed she has to clean daily without fail to see no dust.
ur parition wall appears dusty/dirty even after contractor claimed they have cleaned it?

kevin,
I understands that JW is vy dusty as I work in JW area too. My partition wall is nt dusty or dirty but got molds growing on it and this is not the 1st time. However, contractors do not agree with me that it is moulds and claim that it is dust instead. I used to be in the construction industry before and I can tell the different. Furthermore, to have dust on a vertical wall is vy difficult unless the place is left vacant or no cleaning is done for months. If every week cleans also can have thick dust found on my wall, then I would conclude saying that the air is vy dirty and it is not suitable for living at all. Mad with my designer and contractor.

I used to have big patches of mold on my L-shaped partition wall in the Master Bedroom, then contractor applied a layer of sealant and the problem somehow solved for a period of time. However, within 1 month plus, problem comes again. Now my featured wall in the living room also have. Vy the sian. Master bedroom one, also the 3rd time already. Meeting my ID again this Saturday to talk about the solution for it.
