[Night]

Give the spiders and lizards a break, this is Eco Sanctuary after all...

I did help one of my client to change light at his penthouse. The light bulb cost $7 only but got to bill him $700 to change it.y?? to loan a scaffolding , transportation plus labour to change the light. Good luck to u.. Later part ur reno will be very x.. Especially painting , electrical work , wall paper and carpentry works. Whatever u do ur id will also bill u the loan of the scaffolding through out ur Reno.

last time got a unit at 4.2m ceiling height. curtain super heavy and difficult to change. even laundry also more expensive. light bulb - each time change have to get handy man come down to chng. got a long ladder but at the top very dizzy, no balls.

Anything above 4 m got problem.. With 10ft ladder also diffcult to catch spider. The curtain will also cost a bomb. If need to use motorize curtain To pull up and down another bomb to spend

Never knew that living in Penthouse need to buy so many bombs. Even Lizard poo also need a bomb to clear...in that case I should be getting 20% discount from Mr Sunray (Retired LKK personnel who finds climbing ladder too cumbersome) in 5 years time...hehe.

Thanks guys. Good to note the costs and inconveniences involved. Still happy for the high floor view and space within. Personal choice. And dear mr. Chueec, my invite for a drink is still valid. Lizard poo cleaning, i will take care at least till i retire, at least next 20 years.

...4m is just 13 plus ft, and if you install LED lights, don't really have to worry about changing too often. Everyone seemed to be pointing out only the negatives and sounding almost light eating sour grapes.....Spiders are all over the place, not just high ceilings.....when they shit it comes down anyway, they need to eat so easy to trap them when they comes down if you cannot stand them....

Emmm.. no need to b defensive. Bro Sunray asked ppl to challenge him for cons that he not realizing bcos he was only seeing the pros.

Other bros just provide what they knew/seen before.

Yes I ended up buying. Still working hard to convince myself that its a good buy! Telling myself - high floor, good view, high ceiling, option to convert from 2BR to 4BR, good quality construction etc, green location...etc etc Expecting someone to challenge me...

Can buy one of these A-frame ladders to change light bulb. Have to find a storage space though, the base width may be close to 1m.

Have to consider vertical roller blinds then instead of curtains.

[Noexit]

Rollar Blinds will need to clean too. But what i think is a high ladder that most important

Do u mean put half ball kind?

Do u mean put half ball kind?

some things, better to leave to imagination.

just like the principle of put half ball.

I am new to the forum and am absolutely loving it. Just ignoring non-relevant things, picking up what is useful. I am not at all defensive else I may not get honest opinions.

I did mean it when I said that I might be looking at the positives only and will like to be challenged.

The comments have really been helpful for me to be prepared better. Thanks particularly to Kanarazu for making available the copy of the letter for the rules relating to lofts, vendor link for A type frames, suggestions on using roller blinds, thanks to others also for poiting out practical issues relating to changing bulbts, higher costs of paint and curtains - they are the practical issue that one has to be aware of. And of course cleaning the poo!

Thanks to Danntbt for letting me know that I dont need to get washed away by negative comments only. Postives still remain there!

At the end, I am more educated about the pros and cons and happy with my decision.

And yes, I have no intentions to sell at discount! A drink in the balcony, always welcome!!

Moving on, may I suggest that we make a "group" of residents of Eco, Foresque and Tree House - Call it "Ecoforestree" and work together to make life better for each of us.

Feel free to add your names to the following:

Name / Condo

1. Sunray / Eco
2.
3.
4.

Next time we may at a bar or coffee place - with "BYOD" theme - "Buy Your Own Drink" to celeberate our new neighbourhood.

[Sunray]

I value the "HDB mentality" if it means for bonding, socialising, caring for each other and making life better for everone around!

had high ladder already. but still no balls to climb.

Have to keep oneself stable and balanced on the ball of their feets. That's the anatomical balls that matter on the ladder.

Mr Sunray, your invitation sounded too sincere to resist. You are also very forgiving...I should not have called you LKK (Lou Kok Kok)...so u are not a retired personnel. Bro Train seems interested also...asking when TOP.

erhmmm why should I be defensive.....I am not vested in ES.....mr refree....

[danntbt]

Nearby greenary will change in 3-5 yrs time as more land are developed. The artistic view is of course very nice. Just opp the road, those land parcels belong to HDB i think. So other than the other side which face the park, you will soon find youself surrounded by Tree House, and maybe HDBs...

.....think you think wrong......one parcel has been been auctioned off.....rest are for future PC....otherwise the Diary Farm will petition to Vivian again....

...the land was auctioned with restriction to height....max 15 floor....and the shopping mall relocated to Petir rd, also a park was located at the plot next to chestnut ave to buffer the landed from future development, which will also be limited to 15 floors....do a search I posted the amended land use in the FR/petir thread....
