I never do any overlay of tiles... so can't compare on this... but I realise ur quote doesn't include solid surface top or granite top for kitchen cabinet... usually this is on top of your kitchen cabinet pricing... better confirm with your ID again... Also u mention dishwasher... do u mean ur ID include a dishwasher for u or it's a dish rack? It's a huge different in price...

I also didn't notice if there's a deliberate opening below the glass door but I will go check mine. If the opening is default, then I think water coming out of the gap is inevitable because of the "action" when bathing For DIY, I think outside got sell the rubber piece. U know the vertical rubber that is used on the glass door to join the fixed glass when the door is closed? Yah that piece hor, maybe can buy and put below the glass door.yo bro,I haven't bathed in the MBR yet.

Thanks! Will show my wife and see if she still wants it. I feel it's good to have it because can make full use of the limited space in the toilet.As for the rubber piece, u can try those shops that sell shower glass or glass doors (eg, Besglas).

My girl is quite independent, give her a couple of coloring books or workbook or watch TV, she can liao. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
