Like any other new homeowners, Cheng Wee Hong and his new neighbours eagerly began renovation works when they first moved into their new build-to-order (BTO) flats at Treelodge@Punggol late last year. The initial excitement, however, turned out to be short-lived. Works on their new walls are leaving bigger holes than originally intended, chunks of wall were breaking off and requiring extensive touch-ups with plaster.

The Koreans have come up with Econojet; a series of water-saving shower heads for your bathroom. Harnessing pressure created by the existing water flow, a patented vacuum valve sucks air in from the surroundings and pumps it into the water flow, saving up to 40% of water during bath time and hundreds of dollars in utility bills over the years.

After a long day of ceremonies, chatter and running back and forth, plenty of newly-weds just sign the bill at the end of the banquet without scrutinizing it in detail. Some hotels capitalize on this, especially if you don’t purchase packages that include a free flow of beer and wine.

Anyone who’s had furniture delivered to them can testify to the huge pain it is; vague delivery timings, wrong orders and the annoying fact that delivery guys are always late. Well, this writer decided to take the plunge and get a first-hand experience of the daily life of our delivery guys, or our Beds.sg Warriors, as they’re often called in the office.

You’ve probably noticed him; a strange hybrid between a mattress and a lounge chair, sitting quietly among the new arrivals on our Beds.sg megastore. Just in case you haven’t, we’re very pleased to introduce you to the Lazy Bob – the newest, and also the most slothful member of the Beds.sg family.

As you probably might’ve noticed, Beds.sg has been looking a lot sexier recently. Our staff worked around the clock to widen our catalogue and improve our site. So what has changed?

Local contractors often hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Beds.sg exposes some of the dirtiest, darkest secrets of Singapore’s building and engineering construction industry in this three-part series so you’ll be well informed and prepared for any tricks a contractor has up his sleeves.
