No. A friend highlighted to me invisible grilles are not recommended in Johor. The grilles should make visible to deter theft. Quite true....

Re: Need some design advice on grills.

The new kitchen set from Ikea looks quite good in terms of design. As for the quality, I have been using kitchen from Ikea since 2004. It also coming to 8 years now and overall still looking good, although the underneath of the top is coming off slightly. The new ikea kitchen set display 25 years guarantee. So my guess is the quality is better than the one I bought in 2004. The problem with buying from Ikea Sg is transportation. They don't deliver to Johor, so I will have to sort that out myself. Also, can't find any contractor who can assembly the Ikea kitchen. I may have to DIY....

Ikea Sg just responded to my query on any Ikea contractor can do homes in jb. They said there is none. Only do for homes in Sg. Confirm DIY....

Posted this on LiJB-2 on 19 Jul. I do not benefit from this other than helping them, because they are doing a good job on my House, and fellow forummers here. Have a couple of other contractors doing other Reno work on my place and will recommend them when as they progress with the work ......

"The Electrical contractor is currently working on my place and is doing a very good job. His name is Chong and his ctc is 0197640071. The plasterer or false ceiling contractor is Kelvin, ctc. 010 7609790. I am very happy with their work and they are very professional. Hope it works for you."

Don't you wish we have Home Depot in Nusajaya or Singapore for all our DIY projects. I can't seem to find a good enough DIY store in our region that has plywood, trims, lumber and just general DIY construction items. There are so many lovely projects that can be done under $100 with a good DIY store that here we have to look to contractors.

I think a good DIY store will also raise the standard of the contractors here in general. Cos when most of the basic things they can do be done with a nail gun at home, they will up their game for a higher standard finish.

Anyone knows any secret great DIY store?

Re: Need some design advice on grills.

Thanks Grago for recommending Chong for electrical work. I have used his service recently and find him very detailed & knowledgable. Price is reasonable too. Thumbs up!
