Man regrets buying HDB flat after realising it faces the western sun — says he and his wife get BBQ-ed every afternoon

[Mephist0pheLes]

Simply put, if your living room is facing north, your master bedroom’s wall could be facing west. It will retain the heat from late afternoon sun and radiate heat throughout the night.

U talking about corner unit is it? Those not corner one their adjacent wall is connected to Thier neighbour wall one wad

Use an air cooler instead of aircon. Power consumption is way lesser

IMHO.
Air cooler don't work well for tropical region because of the higher humidity.

Why he and his wife are both not working from 4-6pm everyday?

Maybe Jobless, that’s why can play game and bake everyday

 

[trento]

Mine south west. Ok too. Just on aircon when hot.

 

[HushiePuppies]

the question is, how come they at home in the afternoon?

 

[daveteo88]

This also agent is to blame. I also kena same situation. Lucky ish my bed room kena bbq and I can use Aircon at night to mitigate. And the windows of my house is NS direction, so very windy

Is a blessing in disguise because the sun enter your bedroom can kill all the bad smell and mites

House won’t have musky smell
Dry laundry , keep plants, on the west facing section

Nothing can hide the musky smell from bbfas

Install.solar panel and harness the energy to power up some low powered stuffs to save electricity.

If not, sell to some suckers.

I alternate between both

No sun said dark..got sun said bbq..chao stinkie hard to satisfy

 

[Alphas]

How can it be. North facing will have sun throughout the day from may to oct. South will have sun for the remaining months.

Why not. Adjacent units faces east and west.

Which is why, when you are about to buy your dream house, you should always request to stay in it for a few days (even at some cost) before making a final decision. There’s always a reason why a house or flat is being sold and it’s not necessarily the reason the sellers will tell you. More often than not, sellers won’t disclose the full truth. You really need to do your homework and spend real time experiencing the property. Whether it’s a newly built house or a used one, make sure to:

• Conduct a site survey.
• Read news and research the prospects of the location.
• Talk to neighbours.

Some plausible reasons why houses or flats are sold include:

• Supernatural factors: Haunted or ghostly presence, especially if previous owners practiced Ouija boards, kept Kuman Thong, or left behind spirits improperly.
• Past unnatural deaths: Any incidents that could affect the atmosphere or energy.
• Uncomfortable atmosphere or vibes: Something intangible that makes the property feel “off.”
• Location issues: Too close to forests, hospitals, schools, rubbish points, cemeteries, or other sources of negative energy or qi.
• Bad neighbours: People nearby who create disturbances or problems.
• Corner or isolated locations: Which could make the house less desirable for practical or energetic reasons.
