maybe try hiding it behind a sliding wall or cabinet so it's less obvious. :) at least you save some money though, i had to pay a lot to seal up my one bathroom door in order to get a shower screen.

Ya. This may be a good idea. Do a shallow display cabinet and dun put heavy stuff. Like a secret door.

Hi suneeta devi . 

How much you pay for the sealing up?

At first it was about $750...then I chose these super ex tiles for the wall in the bathroom AND the kitchen and had to pay another $500.

:) Hi @greenbunny, are there many defects when you first collected keys?  Your DB-Box cabinet modification cost S$580 only for the mirror doors or includes other carpentry inside?

BTW, congrats to you, :notti: future Tengah Park MRT (JRL) near to your estate. :yamseng: 

Yes yes quite a lot.. don't faint at my feedback list lol.. Pardon me for unclear description of some items.

During fabrication/measurement, I "sweet-talked" the carpenter to give me free shelves for DB box and he gave me "OK" sign immediately haha.. Actually, mirror door was added in at the last minute when renovation was about to end :P I reckon that if i were to ask for mirror door in the beginning, shelves would be automatically included.

:D You and @mmoh are well-informed about JRL.. Of course, I was pleased to know there would be MRT station (Tengah Park) nearby but N.I.N.E years to be ready?? oh well..

After seeing your defects i think mine are quite minor ... My major ones are the hollow sounds in the walls...

Hi suneeta devi 

You mean seal up the wall cost 750 ?

Yes - when they seal up the wall they need to do waterproofing and tiles on both sides, as well as dismantle the door.
