wood flooring repair

Hi, We have rented here for 18 months and our dog walking plus foot traffic has caused some damage to our wood floors. The 'scratches' are only on the surface of the sealant i think and are causing it to bubble. It looks pretty bad with the light reflecting on it too. I need to get them re-finished ...

Leasing out own private vehicle

Hi

Can someone confirm if this is legal or not? I thought it wasn't here :? but i regularly see notices on the cold storage boards etc.

Also one of the car rental companies i am looking at offers a service where they can loan out peoples private vehicles.

home fix sell a rubber bath mat type spongy stuff (technical eh!) on the roll - it's not too pricey and we use it to stop our dogs bowl sliding on the floor so it works :)

is that not the storage for pans, woks etc? - on wire trays that pull out for ease???

We have something similar for pans, the wire baskets kind of curve out though because it's a corner unit.

3 month car rental?

Hi, We are looking to hire a car for 3 months, I've called the main international firms and they cost a fortune. Google sg doesn't bring much up either? Does anyone know any good companies to use, not looking for a flashy car just something small and simple to get from A to B. Is it worth going to t...

Hi, Sorry I can't help with your dog (I already have one) but I just wanted to check the advice you have came from a vet? I only ask because all the illnesses dogs contract Parvo, KC etc can be carried just as easily via people (from their shoes, body etc). So i'm confused why the advice would be to...

After lots of phone calls I now have a reference number and an official dispensation for the 6 month rule. Thought i would mention it on here just in case anyone is ever in the same situation.

Hi the relocation / removal company should help you out a bit.

I found by accident the other day some info on HMIR site (as you need to pay VAT to re-import a dog!).
Look on the site and use the search function - I think it's notice 1 and notice 3 you need to read for returning residents.

Hi :) Has anyone left the country, pet in tow, and then in less than 6 months needed to return? We are having problems explaining to AVA that our dog doesnt meet the 'been in country of export for 6 months' requirement but that the country he had spent his time in was Singapore so in theory he shoul...

curtain repair

Hi, the bottom of our landlords net curtain has frayed a little - where can i go to get this mended (it just needs overlocking again - it's the stitching that's come undone on about an inch of the hem) seems a bit of a small job to bother a proper tailor with (but i don't have an overlocking machine)

jobs for dependants pass holders

Hi, apologies for such a newbie question but I'm on a dependants pass and I've just started looking at jobs online. I thought it was going to be straightforward in the sense that I would be given a letter of consent to work once I receive a job offer. However all the jobs seem to mention singaporean...
