kok 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2009 not doing grills nor solar film Hi RenoBB, Managed to obtain a good pricing for the wooden decking, 800sgd for my L-shaped planter. Will you be interested, maybe we can push the price lower if do together. If there's other carabellians interested, we could do a mass order and get a better price. rgds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Panggou Sounds Reasonable, tho IMHO you probably can push them down by another 1.5 - 2k. Mine is stack 17, initially also though of doing all these (L box, feature wall etc) but after getting the keys, feel that minimal alterations required (partly cos the unit not as big as i expected) so i'm just getting a contractor to do minor touch up n painting.
