Would like to make a &quot;fake wall&quot; cover up the whole staircase. <br /><br />Wanna get a simple fake wall, no need fancy design or rolling drawer. May need to open a small hole to attach TV mount directly to the staircase wall. And wanna put a door there for storeroom.<br /><br />When talk to cabinet guy they dont recommend use plywood / melamine as partition and suggested me to plaster guy. Claiming it will be not nice and asking me to up budget to get a cabinet instead. And if put door on a plain wall the frame may unable to support unless I add in storage cabinet at the side. I confuse what he trying to explain.<br /><br />When talk to plaster guy they ask to do cabinet claiming using plaster for the fake wall is fragile and if mop floor 1-2 time the water may damage the plaster.<br /><br />Havent get quotation but all seems like dont wanna do and pass to one another.<br /><br />Anyone could advise? TQ<br /><br /><a href='https://pictr.com/image/Exal3G' target='_blank'><img src='https://pictr.com/images/2022/10/18/Exal3G.md.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /></a> copterbandito Home Renovations and Interior Design Tue, 18 Oct 2022 19:52:02 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5173682 Hi any sifus could help a first house buyer on caveat? FYI this house is subsales and not yet VP. <br /><br />Buyer and seller have signed letter of offer. I have paid 3% deposit to agent account and then managed to secured loan for the purchase.<br /><br />Draft SPA was sent to seller but already more than 4 months seller no response. Not answering phone or replying msg from agent and lawyer.<br /><br />Lawyer advised to go caveat fork out rm900 and said can try caveat but there is no guarantee from land office as my doc is still a letter of offer, not SPA. Is it true?<br /><br />I am pissed off with agent for not protecting my interest, every time I was the one who asked them for SPA confirmation update from seller and none seems to care till I open a group and shoot out lengthy msg to them.<br /><br />Before sign letter of offer agent promised heaven and said no worry can get compensation if seller back off. Now all kept quiet.<br /><br />This stupid caveat I think agent should be fully responsible and pay for it. <br /><br />I wonder did anyone of them colluding with secret deal with seller for higher selling price.<br /><br />Any advice how to get compensation? Thanks in advance. copterbandito Property Talk Sat, 24 Jul 2021 03:17:10 +0800
