applefreak 1 Report post Posted May 22, 2007 actually got to cut a hole to install those flap-doorsmany choices available. can choose one-way, two-way or RFID flap-doorsmy baby boy very naughty one. if we on air-con and close the door, he will cry to be let out if inside but cry to be let in if outside. so basically whole night we just open and close door for him nia today the irritating contractor called againtold him to let me know if the tiles are not enough asap so that i can order earlierthen spoke to him yesterday he say will send the tiles to cuttoday called to say tiles not enough he should have know since the tiling works was completed last week really dun know what to sayonly can say i'm thankful he is not my contractor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
