  1. it would be easy for any carpenter to make a door for you again but the problem is no one will take this job up because there isn't much profits to be made from several doors. Factor in the cost of labour to install and transport it would make it economically unattractive for them and especially for you. Please update us if you manage to find someone who is willing to take this job up, i have many customers who are looking at minor works but just cannot find 1 carpenter willing to take it up.
  2. spraying on wood comes with quite a lot of effort with sanding down and stuff. For those who don't have the skill, time and patience, it's easier to just replace all the wood panels.
  3. once mould starts, it cannot be removed easily, you need professional help with anti fungal treatment, bleach doesn't kill mould / fungus, it kills bacteria though. If you have a standard sized storeroom rack you can replace them easily either using ready cut fiberboard, plywood or steel shelves. Just for your info most industry standard shelves are in segments like this, so it's easy for you to cash and carry, will fit any car boot or back seat. I sell these types of metal and fibreboard shelves, drop me a line via my site for storeroom rack
  4. recently just seen a new type of paint called plasti-dip at petrol stations. Not cheap $25/can but it seems to do the job without flaking!
  5. How does the paint process goes? Do you just paint like normal and the final effect is like what you shown?
  6. provided if thread starter still remembers he needs it to be done and asked for help here.
  7. Indeed you can DIY but the hassle of balancing the nuts and bolts level is a big headache. Not to mention that because each point is held only with 1 nut and bolt, the stability depends on how tight you fasten the bolts. once it loosens, you have a rotating joint that isn't safe. (think jobble and collapse) You might want to consider our storeroom racks that is boltless, it uses 2 points and becasue of the design it is self lock and stabilising.

  8. You would like to try construction sites where the project is about to complete. I've seen 2 at punggol are last week.
  9. I wall mounted my own ikea cabinet in toilet before. the metal bracket inside cabinet attached to the wood seems strong. Half year already no issues, still super sturdy. I forgot if I used 1.5 or 2" anchors and the usual screws (those with deep cutting threads) for the anchors.
  10. just call up plumbers and ask if they would sell you?
  11. Not a pro here but I painted over those "sand blasted" / rough textured walls before. Very difficult. I used a thick sponge roller and a brush. Use the roller to move several times over the wall as normal, There will be some deep "pits" that the paint will never be able to reach. I use a brush to do a 2nd job to fill up the pits. The nice sharp and rough wall will be less sharp and "rounder" after the paint. (stone surface feel to deep pimple surface feel)
  12. Personally I tried it out when I was younger (schooling) I spray painted the table fan blades and after a few months, the paint started peeling. Not a very wonderful effect it sends to the room heheh
  13. yeah the magic sponge from daiso does wonders looks like this
  14. if you aren't familiar with electrical stuff I won't recommend you to. Anyway, the colours are like here Brown - Live (the most dangerous wire here) Blue - Neutral Yellow/Green - Earth If you look at the wall socket (the "hole" where you push the plug into the wall) Top is earth, left is neutral, right is live. Tools needed, screwdriver, wire cutter (scissors will do if you have a strong one)
  15. Metal paints is sufficient, powder coating is overkill just for some minor scratches. With all the labour in removing the gate and living a week without the gates, I think it's more cost efficient to change the whole gate Take some pictures of the scratches to give us a better idea how bad it is for us to give you better advice. I see many gates are not powder coated but painted by hand (look for brush strokes)
  16. Don't really understand when you say you mean when you open the seatee the printer comes up from below to the same position where the door is? sounds interesting
  17. try dama http://directory.stclassifieds.sg/singapore-directory/dama+enterprise+pte+ltd/company/businessweb/852400868/ i bought some stuff from them before, super good customer service never seen before in industrial setting. Even if not buying just go there to check out their service standards. hehe
  18. 1 word of caution I learnt the hard way if you're going to paint over the previous paint (without removing it) I engaged someone to paint over the paint from the previous owner. The new paint didn't stick well to the old paint so when I used those 3M double sided tape hooks, my painting dropped off because the new paint split from the older base. I found that the new paint is starting to peel easily even when I used blue tack to put up CNY decor. When pulling the blue tack of, the paint just peels off revealing the old paint under it. So if you have time, remove the old paint or at least clean before painting over it.
