getzski 1 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 Finally i had a chance to do something to my metal gate at my recess area. It was a rusty brown gate. To replace it would set me back by 4 figures, but i would rather use this money for my new amplifier. some newspaper covering to kickstart the mini project. and while i was at it, i re-paint my shoe rack to the wall color. it is a nice $20 DIY, took only a couple of hours over 2 nights. the gate does not look like a new gate btw, but it looks a nicely restored one. an added benefit was that i knew a couple of new neighbors as well when they came over and chit chat.just got the lift upgrading notice from HDB. part of the plan is to replace all the grills with new walls, as well as a new fire rated door. Hence, i will lose my windy smoking area! dunno whether i will vote for or against. having walls make the area more like a storeroom/shoe-cabinet room instead of a recess area.

getzski 1 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 the good news is....HDB is not going to "OPEN" a new door at my balcony area. i would really hate that spot, since i will lose the "balcony" feel with a door over there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then you can push two doors at one go. Pay $3000 must request for many many things to maximize the cost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
