insane 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) wanted to cover up the planter bed with chengal wood, but the advert i saw, the price wasn't that cheap already. called a few companies for quotes, covering the planter bed will cost me $800++, if doing the whole balcony, will cost about $1200+. So decided to DIY it myself. Got contact for the materials fr a fellow neighbour who also DIY his balcony. A real friendly chap, even offered to help me out. Measured the balcony, and after some calculations, i will need about 35pcs of wood. Total cost of the wood adds up to $500+! so much cheaper then wat i was quoted! Get to work! cutting the wood to size. marking out where to cut. cut! almost all r cut! Edited February 12, 2011 by insane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to share. For those decking done by pros, they will generally do the following. 1. Create access panels for you to wash the underneath your decking. 2. Measure the distance between each piece to take care of expansion during heat. Else will crack after a while. or become uneven. 3. Ensure that the wood pieces flushed with your living room while entering the balcony. This is impt as you do not want to cut your toe. 4. Expensive lacquer (which I demanded) After seeing them do my place, I understand why it cost so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

insane 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2011 Tomorrow ID going to handover to me, but i not looking forward to it. :angry2: :angry2: ID FIRM: *** List of defects in the carpentry!!!!!!!!!!!! Worst still, installed BLUM hinges, but don get the BLUM effect, cabinet door still slams with a pong song. Close look at the hinges and realized that the screw has been tightened n loosen for a couple of times, as there r a few holes there. How to accept this kind of rubbish?? Terrible workmanship!!
