babytan 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) i been to ideal house before and met danny, not sure is it the same designer as yours. we find that he is very creative and easy going. he was 1 of the last 2 quotes that we are considering..choose inzen ultimately as felt that ideal house quote simply too high for us, at least 5K more..so due to $$ issue, we dropped ideal.. Danny was very sincere and revised the quote for about 2-3x but we have to give up some carpentry..doesnt want to sacrifice those so..you know my choice liao by looking at your quote i think is acceptable, if you have in mind a reno budget and this quote can provide those things that you gonna do and within your budget and most imptly you have connection with the ID, then go for it! btw i am using the 10mm glass for all glass works in my house. bathroom door is frosted swing door, my quote is $450 (for you to do comparison =P) so far so good, dun looked so fragile la heard from ID that 10mm is standard la and if you want thicker glass = pay more $ Edited July 22, 2008 by babytan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thus the glass panel is not full height that is from the floor to the ceiling. She said that this is done so i can hold the glass door. i will be doing up my glass panel in early aug and will post it up once it's done. keep u updated then!!
