May I suggest this cool place, open air car park by the kallang river near the Indoor Stadium. Plenty of shaded car park space, totally empty. I was there on saturday 4pm looking for nice Photography shots. All bros doing the DIY I can lend you all a helping hand. I would prefer sat the 29 Aug after 3pm.

No problem, bro SpicyRed can drop by after the off peak hrs.

Basically the DIY insulations job is the same, except the length of certain portion is longer.
I have some spare pre-cut rubber insulation materials, any bro need it can have it on that day.

by lukester 24th August 2009, 4:45 pm

hmm one word of advise.

maybe you guys want to bring some drinks and a chair to sit down when tired.

if not next day sure back break one.

by FriesL 24th August 2009, 4:50 pm

Right bring more cold drinks, the best is Red Bull, $2 for 3 cans at Value $hop. Energy booster.
By the way lukester, have you done you insulations yet?

by pessimizt 24th August 2009, 5:25 pm

A word of wisdom (advice) on the day of insulation: (actually was adviced by SpicyRed bro) bow

"Do not switch on air-con when driving to meetup to do air-con insulation"

Why ? The pipe will get condensation and you will have to wait longer (or wipe it super dry) for it to return to normal before you can start the insulation.

All the best ! thumbsup

by lukester 24th August 2009, 5:55 pm

uncle andikong: yeah i have done the back breaking task on the 4th MU. lucky for us, that day was a cool day. if not the next day would have suffered more.
phew!

by pessimizt 24th August 2009, 6:06 pm

Its a back-breaking, dirty, thirsty and hungry day......but its FUN ! Laughing

Glad to hear that it's FUN doing the DIY , but the Back Pain, young man how come every one complain. I already 65yrs of age but still manage to do up my own ride without the back pain. You know I just renew the validity of my driving licence after over 40 yrs of driving. Have to do medical check up before you can continue to drive. Well that's life, always keep fit and healthy so that you can enjoy the fullest.

by FriesL 25th August 2009, 12:56 am

congrats uncle andikong..
cos.. nowadays.. all youngster are strawberries.. Razz
