Thanks alot stardust! I'll post my pics if i successfully did it. =)

oic... ya, awaiting for your pics! =)

Hi... its the household shelter... =)

Hi, i've thought of it before but wooden planks need to have a bracket to be mounted on the wall right? For me, i have some gypsum board but am not sure how to use the board to cover it. I do not want to pay my contractor to do the boxup loh...

Thanks for sharing your pics! Why you need the cement slabs to divide the piece of land? For different plants? Hope you can post more pics soon! =)

Hi, this is for my BR3. This is for my BR2. The boxup that i've done is like the above, putting another layer of trunking to fill the gap. Then use patty to close up the gaps and paint over it.

Good idea! But that door is a metal door and i'm not sure if HDB approve of us drilling it or not leh...

Hi, i just received an email from Art Friend on their promotions. They have some canvas at 20% discount. Not sure if thats what you want. http://www.artfriend.com.sg/new.html

Poor birds.... LOL...

Erm... not sure wat kind of PVC sheet you want but you can try Formica? www.formica.com.sg They sell plywood laminates. So i think they might sell adhesive PVC sheet also.

hi, the link is not working. Mind posting again?

1) rottenramone 2) megabites 3) MichaelC 4) dinobros (if the cost is not too high) 5)70wood 6) Lorddraco (I have some other project in my mind. A cabinet to host my dry box + maybe a charging station, a bedside table...) 7) paladin (if membership fees is not that high) Hi guys, just to share, i noticed when renovation takes place, there are alot of wastages of materials by the contractors. Eg. Gypsum board, Plywood, PVC Pipes, Trunkings and even Tempered Glass! Cos i feel that when we DIY, our project may be a small and don't need much materials. These materials threw away by the contractors can definately help us alot in our own DIY making! If you want, you can make a trip to flats in Punggol area that are currently doing renovation. They simply throw it away at the rubbish chute area or near the lift. You can just take it. (I've got myself a few plywood and gypsum boards...) And i also saw a whole new piece of plywood laminates being thrown away. So wasteful loh!

I'll go take the pics and post it here during the weekends. =)

Hi, cos i got some very big piece of left-over gypsum board and intend to paste onto my house-hold shelter door so that it flushes with the wall. If you look at the pics above, the shelter door was about 10mm inwards to the wall. So i'm thinking if i can add one more layer of 10mm thickness to the door and flush it with the wall. So that i can paint over and do some wall art using decals. =)

Hi. Does anyone knows what is the proper glue to use for gypsum board? Thanks!

Hi, I would like to have some ideas on how to box up the aircon trunking. For a corner of my Master Bedroom, the aircon trunking is kind of an eye sore. I asked the air-con guy to put in additional trunking to hide the hollow part of the wall. Then i used a patty to cover the lines that divide the trunking and used paint to paint over, just like its part of the wall. I've also seen my contractor using some aluminium sheet to box-up as well. Do you know where can i get these kind of aluminium sheets? Can anyone share your ideas if you've done your own box-up? Thanks! =)

LOL...

Hi shaggydog, I've read the whole of your thread and i would only pay attention to your first post. Since Master Kwek helped you in getting the family reunited, do pay attention to the red string and the removal of the mirror. Never to put the mirror back again. And if you were to shift house or rearranging your furniture (the bed), i think you better consult Master Kwek again. Else this stance might break and it might be worst. Just my 2 cents worth.

Hi MJQueen, u mean Master Chang? I've pmed u.

Yup, its like a must. Go buy a solvent base primer as it locks out moisture and fungus. Primer are used like an adhesive between the object and the paint. If you did not use a primer and just paint the color directly on to the object, it will not last and the color coat may be easily peeled off.

Woah!!! Thats great! Thanks for the recommendations! I will pop by soon!

Yup, think you have to use a primer for the first coat, before you paint with the colour paint.

Hi, squares one can be found at Ikea or shops that sells bathroom accessories. Can you post a pic here and let me have a look?

Hula hoops? Hehe... Ya, i'm checking with my friend and he might be able to make for me using a flat stainless steel bar instead of rounded one. He works in a metal fabrication company. I saw alot of these from other countries but its very expensive.
