mrspiglet - the plastic hooks are super ez to hook in, juz slide in can liao. the hooks' height is even adjustable. rather cool. very nice white kitchen u got there. and the kitchen counter is so long! lots of space to do stuff.

haha, i tink this thread should change name. instead of RT, should change to Ah Soon contractor.

[familyof4]

[hibernate]

my hubby still adamant abt asking someone we know to do our minor reno project hais .. =\

still trying to psycho him ley

oh yes .. i have another question ..

do all of you send out your floor plan to the contractors for them to work out a quote for you? or ask them to come over to your place for assessment and wait for quote?

 

[jovialbliss]

familyof4: thks! u confirmed ur deal with CD? or taking from Ah soon?
i was quoted $700 for 2 top-track bifold door initially, but i chge to PD door. He nvr say extra charges or wat lah, but i know the direct supplier who does installation for walk-in customer is charging at $280+. Then again, i rather let him earn and save my time in coordinating diff workers to come up. We already sweating when coordinating CD and the laundry system.


yoyo: ah? pray already can shift in meh? I tot shifting needs to pray again?
i bought a samsung RT53EAMT and LG 7.5kg front load washer. I dun have much idea abt electrical appliances too. My thinking is buy cheaper now nvm, cos can replace next time. More imptly must have enough spare to tide over reno and wedding! If u wan i can send u some info on the shops i called up, those shops r typically cheaper than big stores.


Angel: ez to hook in ah? but the curtains will be heavy. Maintenance wise leh? will it be easy to replace? i dun see any plastic hooks ard leh. I'm so lost now, need to decide curtains soon, n still undecided over rollerbinds or normal day/night curtains.

Shopping piggy: u ok with this sat 3pm-5pm? My place's at tampines. If ok then i'll email u the details?


yihua: surprise w the pricing right? Haha! i think tt's one of his selling strong point. i'll PM u on the hood/hob/WC lobangs ok?

 

[yi_hua]

mrspiglet...ya...surprise...i don need to meet up with any of the ID...hahaha...okok..PM me...

 

[shopping_piggy]

mrspiglet >> I should be able to make it on that time. Can you pls mail me ur address details

Thanks a lot yah

 

[fondue_]

yihua, glad u've got a good deal.

 

[shopping_piggy]

Did any of you do rewiring? and may I know how much you guys paying and any restrictions on the number of points or switches?

 

[angel81]

mrspiglet - well, wen u call the curtains guy, can always ask him to bring along a plastic hook to show u. then u'll have an idea how it's like. can also ask him for his opinion on which ones are better for ur lifestyle.

when they hook the curtains, it seems real easy to do it leh. maybe cuz all of mine are half length, tat's why it's easy. hehe. maintenance very easy also, mine can throw into washing machine and use the gentle cycle to wash. or if lazy to wash, can send to dry cleaning. just need to do it like 1/2 or once a yr.

 

[angel81]

shopping piggy - i did, abt $3k plus abit for the whole hse. no restrictions on pts/switches for mi

 

[familyof4]

mrspiglet: for the curtain hooks, my old house also use those plastic ones, I think they are ok, lasted me a good 5 years

I think Angel made a good point, actually we clean the curtains once almost every 6 months and plastic ones i usually just wash and let them air dry while i wash my curtains. It's easy that way

I am also thinking of letting Ah Soon do it so that it can save me the hassle.

Hibernate, I do send the floor plan for them to have an idea on the calculations for the carpentary work. I think they will request from you too don't they?

 

[familyof4]

mrspiglet, forgot to answer u...I will use uncle for my wardrobes...he ptomise to help me do nicely, so i leave it to him

 

[ivyseah]

ehhh u guys are tempting me to put curtains when i already psycho myself to put roller blinds :S

 

[hibernate]

familyof4 >> im not too sure abt the procedures. cus i find that it's quite awkward to ask them to come up to the hse to view and give quote and not engage them later. lol

thanks for the sharing!

 

[lavend3rmist]

shopping piggy: emailed u!

angel/familyof4: sounds really gd! my 1st choice was roman blinds, but too ex. so next was day/night curtains but i dun like the metal hook portion. Shall take my windows measurements and think abt what curtains to do. Anyway, i dun mind washing the curtains.. the lazy part is the taking down n putting up again! haha!


familyof4: he really can do it ah? shd be cheaper than CD right? Maybe tts y the carpenter boss was staring at my wardrobe yday - he already got orders to deliver CD alike wardrobes! haha!

 

[familyof4]

Ivy, it's really not a tough task to maintain curtains. Send to laundry shop for washing...it's pretty competitive these days and they even deliver to u!

hibernate: u can simply send the FP tp the IDs and tell them your requirements and get them to quote u. Later shortlist from there, it'll be easier.

mrspiglet, another plus point on the plastic hooks, they dun turn rusty and leave those rusty marks on the curthains when u poke thru

 

[angel81]

ivy - hehehehe.. curtains look more romantic, roller blinds look more modern/clean cut. maybe u can go for both. roller blinds in living/dining and curtains in mbr.

mrspiglet - hehe, the curtains contact will go to ur place to take measurements and also bring samples for u to choose. so u actually dun need to take measurements urself.

 

[zerochristy]

Cleaning curtains> I know in the market laundry shop they come to your house and bring down the curtain for washing than when its clean they will hook it up for you. Have to google online for this.. I did not take down the name of the shop.

 

[oleander]

Hi, anybody can email me Ah Soon's contacts pls? Thks in advance. [email protected]

 

[familyof4]

Hi Oleander, u've got mail

 

[ivyseah]

Angel! good idea!! i may just do that!

Oleander, you've got mail.

 

[angel81]

christy - wah.. tat's cool! cuz i hate bringing the curtains down and hooking them up. i tend to take a very long time with it. if u happen to find the contact, let us know k?

ivy - hehe show us pics wen ur curtains are done.

 

[familyof4]

Angel, I wana see more of urs too!

 

[hibernate]

familyof4 >> thank you! =D

 

[lavend3rmist]

familyof4: yes! i hate the rusting part. it just stains the curtain n gets very hard to hook onto after washing.

angel: no need to get measurement? But wat if they go up n i decided not to use them becos of pricing? I was thinking of doing it like pinkpetter's dad, give them measurement n ask for quotes.

post pics of ur curtains soon ok??


oleander: saw ivy's post too late, have mailed u too.

 

[zerochristy]

Angel> The following is what I google... maybe got cheaper one got to look around

http://www.a-cubemicrosystems.com/laundry.htm
http://www.cottoncare.com.sg/curtain_cleaning_removal
http://www.m21drycleaners.com/curtain.htm&amp;installation.htm

 

[angel81]

familyof4 - okok, i'll take pics over the wkend k? cuz i gave a deadline to my hb, tat he has to settle his everything by the wkend.

mrspiglet - haha, icic. also can, but most of the time it's a no obligations tingy, same like contractors. cuz different pple will quote u using diff materials, and it'll b rather hard for u to determine who is reali cheaper. by getting them to come, measure and quote u using the materials u choose, u can compare quotes better loh.

christy - cool! tks for the links!

 

[familyof4]

no hurry Angel...take ur time...dun stress ur hb out :

 

[fondue_]

Wow this thread is running fast and regularly.

we should have a RT gathering to chit chat and get to know each other in real person

 

[felina]

Pet - You're welcome.. MY ID told me say it's $500 plus for one wall... But she say it's good material one...

 

[lavend3rmist]

angel: noted! tonight meeting a fren's bro who's sending curtains too. seek his advice and see if his quote is cheap.

Btw, i'm quite confuse who's coming my place on sat. I'll be there from 3pm-5pm. I think so far there's familyof4, shopping piggy. Evelyn,Gaku: confirm w me soon ok?

So busy at work and no time to login today until now

Want to ask you all about the cabinet that ah soon makes:
1) Does it include abs trimming?
2) How smooth is the soft-closing? Is it like ikea's cabinet?

I want to find out becos the edges of my current cabinet is sharp and i cut myself once or twice. So just wondering if abs trimming will help or not.

Mrspiglet, I also want to go your house leh but cannot leh
