cooey 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2010 Hi, I am new here. wats PM?? can I have the contact for your electrician?? The prices seem rather reasonable. Thank you. Hi, Why do u need a complete set of DB? Just wondering why is there a need to change the DB... I was recommended by my ID to shift the DB in order to cater for my shoe cabinet. Is it safe to do that? What happens if the electrician did not do a good job? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
