  1. What type of lock you have? If it is dead-bolt type, you should be able to DIY..
  2. as in the link.. PVC or aluminium is ok http://www.hualihk.com/index.php?product=Graph_of_Variable_Edge_banding&c=9&pp=1&p=988991&ph=l

    If DIY, $1200 is more than enough....
  7. Very true... I just changed mine... initially respray... but it doesn't last... Now I use formica , took me a bit of time as I have 22 doors I use aluminium angle to frame them... quite nice
  8. the door lock is quite standard... just tell the sellerd and they will know...
  9. check classified ads...
  10. hi there, I have little clue about this thing... may be someone can educate me a bit... if I want something like this (just the top) , how much roughly do you think it will be? Mine is about 1000mm x 300mm What is sheet pasted on the wall (marked as 1)? TIA
  11. I got mine done DIY... Wood + drawer runner only, total cost less than $30... all materials from Ban Heng Long... Wife loves it...
  12. Just wonder if this is possible? what kind of permit required from HDB? My current layout is such that it is impossibe to install a shower screen. I have identified a better opening for door.
  13. Can someone let me know roughly how much is the cost for below: 1. Hacking and replacing floor and wall tile. 2. No plumbing/ electrical work. 3. Floor area is about 1.5m x 2.2m, height is 2.6m thanks
  14. nobody? Here is another better picture.. http://www.decorative-coving.co.uk/product...=10&clear=1
  15. I saw this at my company pantry.... dark brown in color, click on type, good to use near sink.. just wonder where i can get.. thanks
  16. Recently bought a wrong cutter, quite useless, blunt with less than 20 ft of cutting. Think it is for plastic Someone in this forum suggested Giken A-650 or equal. Wonder where can I get it TIA
  17. may be can do some analysis on the drill tip if it contains metal...
  18. My bathroom wall tiles have fine cracks As an experiment, one section of the wall I have already used the vinyl sheet glued on them, it works quite well with water... it has been like that for about a year without problem, no peeling off, easy to wash... Now I m thinking of using formica. Anyone tried that? I am not worrying about how to hold them in place. I am not sure if formica is good for water...
  19. It could be that you are now hitting the real wall, which is harder than false wall.... if I were you, I will continue to drill further and see what happen... hopefully not power cables...
  20. I can't see the full scope, but $18K seems cheap

    I did this on my bath room using the white vinyl. The vinyl is about 4' (cant remember exact dimension) and it is quite challenging initially. Now quite good at it... I didnt apply the soap solution, may be I should try next time.. Thanks for the tips. BTW the vinyl is not cheap. I paid about $8 for 4' (?) x 1M
  22. I am thinking of making simple wardrobe myself. If I can get this kind of aluminium profile, I should be able to make one... any idea where to get them? I often visit a shop just selling aluminium at UBI ave 2. Unfortunately they dont have this...
  23. ahwong replied to priest7's topic in DIY Corner
    I always like short-cut... just select a similiar color to coat over existing paint... single coat only... too lazy... so far so good...
  24. I bought a trimmer last weekend... it is not easy to use for novice and is quite a dangerous power tool ... Regret to buy it..
  25. What the guy said sound logic.. But I do believe it is possible to do something safe.... may be add a piece of steel sheet (the bigger the better) screwed on to the plywood. Then install standard TV bracket onto the metal sheet... or something like that....
