Like a Sunday morning ritual, I was heading to the washing bay at the multi-storey carpark next to my block to do my regular car wash. As I step closer to the water dispensing unit, I could feel that the ground was not even, as though there were pieces of stones on it. Looking down, I realized that the cement ground has disintegrated and debris was abundant.

 

Perhaps, the constant dampness of the washing bay has resulted in the above situation over the long run. In the part of the washing bay further away from the water dispensing unit, crack lines have formed on the ground, as though a mild earthquake has taken place. The toilets in most households are laid with ceramic tiles. Toilet is a place which is constant damp as well, and the tiles in my house

Your washing bay looks comparatively good! Mine is black black with algae and flooded to 2-3 cm high cos the drainage is choked.

Not a good idea at all. Well meaning and half-baked at best.

Ceramic tiles will not bear the load. The tiles in your bathroom do not experience 1000+ KG of weight on them that's why they can last 20 years. You need juz one car with a small rock stuck between the threads with an end pointing out to crack the tiles.

Or even just one slightly improperly laid tile to crack and in turn affect the rest.

Not to mention it'll be slippery.

These ceramic tiles are super slippery when wet. How I wish those ceramic tiles below my HDB block walkways are hacked to give way for full cement floor. Perhaps, you can take those tiles and lay at your carpark washing bay. [laugh]

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
