summersann 6 Report post Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Just wondering are we allowed to paint the window frame to white? Need to replace the kitchen window grill because after tiling cannot use back the old window grill. Wanted to change to white but that would be quite ugly if grill is white and window frame is black/bronze. Does hdb allow to spray paint it white?If yours is considered an old HDB block, it shouldn't be a problem. Walk around the neighborhood and see if anyone else has windows in a different color. That's what my ID did before doing anything different from the standard done by HDB But spray painting isn't the best choice because I think it'll peel off over time, leaving patches, and it'd be difficult for you to remove it to spray paint again. Powder coating is still the best for windows because of frequent use. Edited April 6, 2013 by summersann Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

summersann 6 Report post Posted April 6, 2013 powder coating means need to dismantle the windows and send it to factory right? after dismantle still possible to put it back?it shouldn't be a problem? but I'm not too sure, because we changed all our windows. if you spray paint, it's still better to remove and spray right? Otherwise, there may be corners that don't get sprayed properly? I don't really know because I'm totally clueless about spray painting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3Dyms 1 Report post Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Your Reno progress is looking good. Love all the storage you are doing. For the errors by your carpenter, he should rectify it since it is his mistakes wor. I wonder how he could make such mistakes. Did you show him any pics before he did the drawers? If you did, and he still got it wrong, then I also shake head liaoz. Edited April 6, 2013 by 3Dyms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bb_1314 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2013 The initial budget of 30k? Of course not... With Blum, quartz top etc... most of the thing I want something better, at least mid range, 30k won't be enough. I haven't sum up the total cost yet. Roughly i think close to 70k including air con, lightings, sofa, bed etc; exclude dining table, fridge & washing machine.

summersann 6 Report post Posted April 9, 2013 Ya, I thought so too.I wanted quartz top for kitchen too, that's the most expensive top right?I think the range matters too. Like how lower end quartz could be cheaper than higher end granite. But quartz is generally pricier, true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
